GW2 Crazed Karka Queen Guide

Crazed Karka Queen Killer achievement can be completed upon defeating Legendary Karka Queen. There are several rules that must be met in order to acquire this achievement:
 

  • GW2 Crazed Karka Queen event starts after you successfully secure and hold four settlements: Point Pride, Kiel’s Outpost, Steampipe Steading, and Camp Karka. You can easily notice which one should be secured, since that one has crossed swords over it’s waypoint (you can not teleport there).
  • Legendary Karka Queen has 50 stacks of buff called Armored, which reduce incoming damage. In order to remove or lower these stacks, use Karka Eggs scatter around. Karka Eggs crush opponent’s armor, leaving them vulnerable.
  • There is a short 10 minutes timer on this event, before Legendary Karka Queen escapes and re-appears at one of the remaining player controlled camps with full health. Defeating Legendary Karka Queen grants you a treasure chest that can be looted once per day, per character. It contains rare gear, karka shells, and more. If, however, she escapes at the point where you do not have 4/4 settlements secured, she will not re-appear again until they are not secured.
  • In addition to loot rewards, there is an achievement called Crazed Karka Queen Killer, which can be obtained upon defeating the Karka Queen.

GW2 Meta Event Karka Queen is NOT yet active

According to Robert Hrouda, ArenaNet’s Content Designer, the Meta Event Karka Queen is not yet active on the island, until next week:

 

Yes. The Meta event and Karka Queen world boss will be a permanent event added to Southsun, and it’s drop will be permanent as well.

One of the core problems of the island was the lack of events. I’;d hoped to solve that by adding an island wide Meta event and a world boss.
However it is NOT out until next week. We’re actively working on modifying our patch notes.

 

We’re having a small issue with our patch notes we are attempting to resolve currently. The Meta Event is not yet active on the island.

Last Stand at Southsun

Help Inspector Kiel track down Canach, the villain behind the increased animal aggression and the focused attacks on Consortium settlements. Canach’s intent is to destroy the settler contracts (and punish Subdirector Blingg for his vendetta against Canach).
Players must work together to protect the settlements and the innocents within from the crazed horde’s sustained assault, ultimately allowing Inspector Kiel to destroy the records and free the settlers from their unfair commitments without harming any of the island’s residents. This sets the stage for the upcoming Dragon Bash festival to happen without settler unrest spoiling the festivities.
