Encounters III - Stone of the Currents (Wharf) Voltage Surge buff bugged
"
[snip]
Thanks for your report, we're looing into this.
Is it intentional that sometimes the boss does not spawn the full number of Flood Orbs during each wave? For those unaware, the number of flood orbs spawned by the boss depends on the player & boss location relative to the boss's dock arena (or maybe just the player's location, not 100% sure). If you and the boss are at the center of the dock, where the boss originally is, the boss will spawn all 6 flood orbs every wave, giving a total of 18. If you and the boss are on one side of the arena (far left or far right), the boss will not spawn orbs on the opposite side, leading to spawns of 4 or less flood orbs, for a total of 12 (making this challenge impossible to complete). If you and the boss are far enough away from the dock, no orbs will spawn at all.

Just attempted this on a twinned map, had 20 Flood Orbs up (my friend took a screenshot in discord to count them for me). Made sure to kill the boss with the shield up, still seems bugged to me.
Used Southbound to prevent killing any mobs, then flame dashed though the boss to kill it.

Just tried 3-4 times doing this shit challenge, came to forum than I noticed I'm not the only one who encounter this bug....What the hell GGG if you want to make this kinda challenge can you at least test it is it workable????
So frustrating....
I finally did it, I used a twinned map and spawned the ads pulled to the side of the arena and used (shock nova) to kill 1 of the bosses a bit away from the ads. shock nova dint disable the boss shield on damaging him Was the best option for me. the boss spawn ads at every 25% of his health you need to be careful on the ads spawning they die very easily.
Ran around five times myself using a few different strategies and counting orbs after, failed every time. Also had a separate thing where the boss would never take the purple shield down, maybe related? If there's a visual bug where it never appears down it'd explain the rng nature of some people's attempts. I don't actually know how the shield works though, can't find it on the wiki
