Encounters III - Stone of the Currents (Wharf) Voltage Surge buff bugged

twin boss + southbound
https://youtu.be/AkZi9PcdTew
using a single shot bleed bow, I spawned all the flood orbs (without ever touching them after spawn) got the boss to ~5%, then gathered all the orbs together with him, waited for voltage surge, popped a snipe into him, made sure it was on him only. Boss died, challenge failed. So this is still bugged. Please fix @GGG, because if you want to nurf everything, please at least make sure you are not breaking systems in the process and/or bugging out challenges that are required for the 'Challenge' league

confirmed that the southbound bug has been fixed without mentioned in patch notes explicitly.
it was not possible before.
i dont like these "without killing" things. but it's ok as i am happy to have the cool portal reward as my retirement fund.
I did this challenge just now with southbound and a twinned map.

fixed now.
To make it easier, I play totems ehh ... After 2 hours it was successful xD

Just FAILED this with Twinned Map and southbound, definitely had more than 15 Flooded Orbs alive.
This challenge is absolutely horrible.

I rely on totems and cannot do any damage myself - so trying to only do single target damage is impossible.

And you can't lure him away - it just won't spawn orbs anymore.
Very irritating that he wont spawn orbs away from the center of dock (might get one or two.) So you are forced to slap the boss with your pinkie in the direct center of the area with 0 aoe or you are guaranteed to fail. Stupid challenge.
This challenge is still bugged? I just killed the boss with literally 20+ orbs ... i was using southbound to avoid killing the orbs by accident, then i single targeted the boss with all orbs around and nope, nada ... boss died, challenge failed, orbs still alive lel.

Kinda crazy if a challenge can be bugged for this long into a league ?

tl;dr Culling the boss with the purple aegis up (Voltage Surge) and 15+ flood orbs spawned results in a failed challenge.

Details:

At 75, 50, and 25% health, the boss will spawn between 4-8 Flood Orbs. Once all 15+ orbs have spawned, I will kite them away to a corner and trap them so they won't die when I cull the boss. The boss will get down to 1hp using Southbound and an Elemental Focus gem. I will run away from the boss to have it's shield go away. I will then run back in to the boss and wait for it to cast the shield again. Once it's cast, I will cast Bane to finish the boss off. This results in a challenge failed.

Extra info:

Having spoken with others who have done the challenge themselves, they've also reported to me that it's RNG based and they didn't change anything in their technique, but after several attempts, it completed.

If necessary, I can post a video or screenshots of my attempts.


Thanks for your report, we're looking into this.
