The Shatterer Achievement Guide
The Shatterer is a world boss in the Lowland Burns region of Blazeridge Steppes and a champion of Kralkatorrik
Completing this boss and associated achievements grants a total of 110 AP and a Branded Backpiece
You can get there from Lowland Burns Waypoint — [&BE4DAAA=] or by using the World Boss Portal Device
Pre-Events
For The Shatterer to spawn, two pre-events must be completed - Collect siege weapon pieces for Crusader Blackhorn and Escort the Sentinel squad to the Vigil camp in Lowland Burns
They both start at about the meta start time; the collection event first, followed shortly by the escort
The Collect siege weapon pieces for Crusader Blackhorn event takes place between the Heretic Plain and the Shattered Palisades. It is easiest to get there from the Guardian Stone Waypoint — [&BP8BAAA=] heading east, then north.
Kill Ascalonian Siege Engineers and pick up the Siege Weapon Piece they will drop. These are stackable inventory items, so you can collect a few before turning them into Crusader Blackhorn. 50 pieces need to be turned in before the end of the 5-minute timer for it to succeed
Escort the Sentinel squad to the Vigil camp in Lowland Burns event starts northeast of Brandview Waypoint — [&BAQCAAA=]
Protect the four sentinels from branded mobs on their way to the Slay the Shatterer event
Player Aids
Near the Lowland Burns Waypoint — [&BE4DAAA=] there are Mortars, Turrets, and Launchpads that grant players abilities they can use during the fight.
Mortars give the skills Mortar Volley [Skill 1] for damage and Med Kit Volley [Skill 2] for healing allies
Turrets give Bombard [Skill 1] and Shrapnel Shell [Skill 2], useful on both adds and The Shatterer. The base damage is the same for these attacks, but the first gives breakbar damage with a knockback and the second gives bleed damage over time, increasing its total damage delt
Launchpads give players skills after launching them into the air, after gliding mid-jump. Drop Bomb [Skill 1] deals some damage, but is greatly used for its Defiance Break of 200. Drop Med Kit [Skill 2] can be dropped on allies to heal them, or Consume Med Kit [Skill 3] to heal themself
Player Aid Achievements
Shatterer Attacks and Abilities
Crash Land: Anytime The Shatterer lands on the ground, it deals a lot of damage to anything beneath it. Standing there when he lands will get you the one-time Achievement Burns Blunder
Shatterer Lighting Field: If you are gliding anywhere on the field surrounding The Shatterer, it may target you with an attack that will knock you out of the sky and likely kill you
If you own Heart of Thorns you are able to get the Achievement Lighting Reflexesby dodging the attack 40 times
You can also use Skyscale to Dodge
Crystal Fire: When The Shatterer roars, it spits out fire projectiles that land, these will be the yellow AOEs on the ground
Crystal Imprisonment: Occasionally, The Shatterer will imprison several players in crystal prisons that will explode if they are not broken out quickly
Impale: The Shatterer will slam down on the ground, sending out multiple crystal shockwaves that knock back and grow the further away they get
Summon Pulsating Crystals: Starting at 50% health, 5 crystal pillars will spawn in the direction The Shatterer is facing, he will become invulnurable to strike damage (conditions will continue to tick)
These crystals have a breakbar that must be broken before they will take strike damage
Until they are destroyed, The Shatterer will remain invulnerable and regenerate health from the crystals, so destroy them quickly
The timing on future crystals after 50% health is not static. There is a relative pattern, but it is not consistent enough to mention here. Destroying 20 will earn the Achievement Crystal Healing Denier
Shard Storm: If The Shatterer’s defiance bar is not broken, he will launch into the sky above the field, becoming invulnerable. While he is up there, he will rain fire and lightning as well as spawn more Branded mobs

Tip for This World Boss
This fight goes fast. You may not see all the mechanics due to that. It will take many fights or a map with a low population participating in the fight to get many of the achievements. You will regularly see only one breakbar phase and maybe 2 Pulsating Crystal summoning phases
