Elder Guardian kill doesn't count

I did the same Eradicator a couple of times already, he always dies, shaper sizzles him up but I don't get drops and the guardian is still on the atlas..
I did this on a shaped gorge map, but also tried a non-shaped version to see if that was a problem. That also didn't help.
Thanks to this I can't defeat elder anymore since the guardian won't disappear even tho I defeated him a couple of times (different characters, deathless, with death) and it always shows his death animation. I just dont get rewards :/

Did you ever figure this out? I killed each guardian multiple times and I ended up skipping the whole elder/guardian stuff because I don't understand what I'm suppose to be doing...

All the google searches show threads with comments like "make sure you kill all guardians, then elder will spawn in his map" but I have killed each guardian multiple times and they still remain in their respective maps. Am I missing something? Am I suppose to farm a guardian 100 times or something? I genuinely haven't got a clue of the order of how this is suppose to pan out, and at which point I can start trying to get the elder to spawn on his map.

Same bug here.

I've killed the Eradicator multiple times in Field with different characters (in case Culling strike from Slayer made the whole thing bug). Haven't gotten rid of the guardian after like 3 kills.

Maps is completed but not with Bonus (since I can't kill the boss when Elder is there... have been this way since I didn't complete Fiels before Elder guardians spawned there).

I also can't get the map bonus, I assume that's because we're not killing the actual boss but instead killing the guardian (over and over and over...).

So this is a bug then? I'm not missing something?

I finally fixed it.
It seems to be intended tho. I saw it in a reddit thread.
Usually I would run the map with my MF character and then switch to necro to finish the guardian off.
But apparently you can't do that, you have to kill the guardians and elder with the character who opened the map.

I didn't even think about that being a problem since it works for everything else in the game ._.

So if you run the map with 2 different characters or get help, make sure to be in the guardian fight with the character who opened the map.

Hope that helps someone...

Kind of sucks there wasn't a warning or sth anywhere, so I just thought it was a bug (maybe still is, dunno no word from ggg yet afaik)

WOW!

Well this is exactly what I do - run the map with a super squishy (but super fast) character, then switch to a tank for the boss.

I'll try the map with my tanky (and super slow!) character.

Nice find - thanks!
