Wiki says to wear 6 items of black dragonhide armor in a solo encounter. I've checked off my equipment and killed KBD many times in solo instances, with and without paying for my own encounter. The achievement still lists as undone. My black vambs are not spiked.
What am I doing wrong?

Hiya,

Firstly, I would recommend that you check and confirm that you do indeed have the required items. It might sound silly, but a lot of items look similar or have similar names. Therefore, double-check that what you have on is what's required. Similarly, make sure you have them on when you kill the KBD. I notice that the wiki article notes that the items need to be worn for the kill itself, so make sure you have them equipped. Additionally, check and confirm that the player count on the instance interface is set to '1'.

However, it might be the case that you're not doing anything wrong. If you are following all of the correct steps, it could well be that the achievement is bugged. This has happened to a few achievements recently, and if you can't progress, you'll need to alert Jagex. I'd recommend submitting a bug report through the in-game interface, to allow the relevant teams to look into a fix.

Thanks very much for the quick replies and moving my thread to to the right location. All I'm wearing are the items mentioned in the Wiki, which I've checked word-for-word against the list. I guess the achievement is bugged. I'll make a bug report.

Best wishes,

You're welcome. :)

Make sure you check the patch notes over the next few system updates, to see if a fix is implemented. If it is a bug, it may take a little time to find and add a fix. In the meantime, make sure to check back here semi-regularly, to see if anyone else experiences the problem or if anyone else has any suggestions for you.

By the way, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. When I set up the instance, I didn't specify "max 1 player". It doesn't work unless you do that - even if you're the only person present. The Kalphite Queen has the same requirement.

Thank you so much for the tip. I too was having trouble with this achievement and would have never figured it out without your help.
