What's going on with Defeat Montymort?

blackgryphon9999

OK, so the task says to defeat him three times. I've done it twice but the counter still says 0/3. The first time I could use four people to fight him and he didn't have many hearts. The second time I could use four people to fight him and his heart meter was full. This last time I can only use two monsters to fight him and his heart meter is full. Huh? Why didn't I get credit for the first two?????

Already a thread about this:
https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/168866/lord-montys-fight-count-not-going-down-for-me#latest
In which I posted the following:
Using LPN’s walkthrough and addicts info, Lord Montymort’s battles are as follows:
The Vestige Pt. 1 Task: Make Springfielders Duel Montymort (4 hearts)
The Vestige Pt. 2 Task: Make Beasts Battle Montymort (4 hearts)
- - - - wait 4 hours whilst he regains his health- - - -
The Vestige Pt. 3 Task: Defeat Lord Montymort [x3]
ONE defeat requires beating Normal Lord Montymort using Springfielders and Giant Lord Montymort using beasts (each one has 15 hearts). Then you need to wait 4 hours to regain health after 1st and 2nd defeat.

I have now defeated him 4 times 2 times with the kids and 2 times with the monsters and the counter is still saying 0/3 so don't think it is working will see if it completes after the 3ed time round if not it will just have to sit there till the take down.

There is a thread in bugs&issues about this. It seems to be a common problem. I contacted EA about it, and they have escalated it to the specialists. Hopefully they put out a patch soon, but maybe more people should contact EA so they know it is happening on a large scale.

Sent a bug report, mine has been stuck on Vestige Pt. 3 for 3 days now. No word from EA

Im so glad that my holiday hadn't fallen in act 3 as I wouldn't of completed the quest line by defeating Montymort (and even now im doubting whether I will complete it without rushing a few times).

I don't think they actually answer if you do it under the "report a bug" option. I was going to put it under the bug, but my computer popped up a message that they don't respond. So I sent it as "missing content" and got an email response in a few hours.

I can't even start the Vestige pt 1. I don't have the 'fight' button at all!

Oh well.. 9-10 days of nothing and it's over.

I'm going to be the dummy on the forum and ask:

Where is the counter?

It's the task. Check that.

Also, I was under the assumption that you defeated him with the kids, then with the monsters ( or vice versa) for it to count as one defeat.

Yes. You have to do one 15-heart round with wizards AND one 15-heart round with the monsters to defeat him ONE time. Insanity.

This is exactly what they wanted, but I bit the bullet and sped everything up with donuts. I hate myself for doing that since that only encourages EA to try that in the future, but I’m weak...

AaronG933

yeah i think this lord montymort idea has been terrible. I play everyday multiple times and after the counter not giving me credit 1st time around i'm actually not going to finish this event...and i will not be spending money on donuts to catchup for something they screwed up on.

I'll be done fighting Montymort in about 3 hrs. No rushing, no premium trolls or beasts. The only premium helper item I bought was wizard Martin.

i still got another day with the beasts before i'm done.

I honesty could care less if I have montymort. I got like 12 toads to get for Dracula then I will try to defeat the heart scale one more time. If it doesn't register it'll go in inventory once the event is over... which 10/10 was already it's destination.

I was enjoying this event until this defeat Montymort part.
Sitting on 0/3 for three days took all the fun out of what could have been an ok event.

I'm quite sure I was on 0/3 for three days, then 1/3 for another three days, same 2/3. Actually it must be slighty over three days each. Not much fun. Just the way it is.
