Meta-Event Achievements
A Titanic Voyage – 1AP – 1MP
For this achievement, you must complete every step of the meta-event at least once. You will need to complete the event at least three times to finish all the objectives. The event occurs every 2 hours at XX:20, you can check the timer HERE.
- Power Livia’s spell with titanspawn energy
- The meta starts at Mantle’s Arrival Waypoint – [&BGEPAAA=]
- Defend Livia and kill enemies while she destroys the barrier
- Defeat Lextalion the Merciless
- Once the barrier is down, the first Boss fight occurs against Lextalion
- This boss has some mechanics similar to the raid boss Gorseval
- Very important to have enough CC abilities, as every 25% of health, the boss will gain a break bar that will wipe everybody if not depleted in time
- For the other mechanics, check the achievements below
After defeating Lextalion, the event is split into three lanes, you must participate in each to complete the achievement.
- Bring down the semipermeable membrane protecting the northern organ cavity
- Bring down the semipermeable membrane protecting the central organ cavity
- Bring down the semipermeable membrane protecting the southern organ cavity
For this phase, you must use the Siege Turtle or Skyscale fireball attacks to damage the barrier. The Warclaw chain pull skill can also be used on debris around that will damage the barrier when destroyed.
The final phase of the meta-event requires you to destroy the titan organs; the north and south lanes will have a lung, while the middle one will have the heart. Focus on damaging the nodules and champions that can spawn and shield them. Be aware that these champions will explode when defeated, killing everybody in the area. The lungs will also have several knockbacks which can be blocked with aegis, otherwise you will need to sidestep them or glide back if pushed off.
- Destroy the north lung.
- Destroy the heart.
- Destroy the south lung.
Echo Evader – 5AP – 1MP
The most common attack from Lextalion is the shockwaves. For this achievement, you need to defeat the boss without getting hit by the shockwaves more than 9 times. The attack will have a “warning circle” line that will flash 3 times before the shockwave, then you can jump over, dodge, or even block to prevent being hit by them.
Vengeance Denied – 3AP
During the fight against Lexttalion, the boss will gain a defiance bar (break bar) at 75%, 50%, and 25% health. For this achievement, you need to participate and successfully destroy the break bar a total of 5 times. Make sure to prepare your build with CC skills to contribute enough. The can help your team by allowing them to select the Electromagical Pulse special skill.
Spirit Nutritionist – 5AP
Lextalion will randomly inflict an attack on nearby players that will trap them in a cage, and a spirit will spawn in the cage location.
These spirits need to be killed before they reach Lextalion, or they will give a buff to the boss that will make the break bar stronger. The spirits close to the boss will be consumed when the bubble and breakbar appear. For the achievement, your team needs to defeat Lextalion without him consuming any spirits at all.
Pure Soul – 5AP
For this achievement, you need to avoid being affected by the Malefic Darkness for more than 10 seconds. The best advice for this is never get hit by the ghastly circle that will inflict the debuff.
This can be hard to achieve; sometimes the circle is hard to see as it starts very small and grows over time, complicating the situation with other mechanics happening at the same time. You cannot block or dodge this circle. As soon as you touch it, you will get the debuff. Sometimes the boss will teleport to a random player far away and instantly drop the circle beneath him.
If you get hit, you can remove the debuff by interacting with a “Beneficent Light,” which will grant you a few seconds of immunity as well. However, these beams of light will only spawn after destroying the cage of a trapped player, and this might not happen fast enough, making you lose eligibility for the achievement (maximum 10 seconds).
Artillery Annihilator – 1AP
This can be done only during the final step of the meta-event. Defeat a total of 25 titan artillery. These are the “Titan Leukocyte” in the air that look like rifts or portals; they can be destroyed by using ranged attacks or the Skyscale Fireball.
Map Achievements
For Old Time’s Sake – 1AP
Head northwest of Mantle’s Arrival Waypoint – [&BGEPAAA=] and interact with the Starlight Lantern to earn this achievement.
Assorted Chaos – 1AP
During the event “Help Rysta preserve and sort the mursaat texts before they degrade completely” you are asked to pick up books, cleanse them depending on which debuff they have, and then sort them into the right category they belong to. Stand on the white circles to grab a book.
- Mursaat Curse – Cleanse on Curse-Breaking Station
- Text Illegible – Cleanse on Text-Copying Station
- Infested – Cleanse on Pesticide Dispenser Station
Once cleansed, you can check the category on the skill #2 slot and interact with the proper deposit. For this achievement, you need to sort at least one book in the WRONG category after removing the debuff.
Close the Door – 3AP – 1MP
Complete the “Defend allies to destroy the Mists-charged jade and close the titan rifts” event without losing the point for more than 30 seconds. Defend the NPC in the circle by defeating the enemies fast enough before they take control of it. The circle will become red when contested. Defeat the enemies before 30 seconds pass to keep the achievement eligibility. Eventually, you need to seal the rifts with your Heart of the Obscure by interacting with them.
Demolition Expert – 1AP
Help Statics Expert Zullos and his team destroy an ether tower. This NPC will spawn south of the Mantle’s Arrival Waypoint – [&BGEPAAA=] and open a portal that leads directly to the event. Destroy Jade Constructs, defeat Titanspawn, and destroy the Mursaat Tower to earn the achievement.
Mirror Memory Master – 1AP
For this achievement, you need to turn in four pieces of data during the “Find the ward members inside the mirror network and return their findings to Alya” event.
You need to use the mirrors to reach the location of each ward member, but there is limited time, so it is a memory game to avoid repeating the same path.
However, there are only 3 NPCs, and the achievement requires turning in 4. This can be achieved by finding all 3 ward members, turn into Alya, and then go again to one member’s location. You can notice the icons in your buff bar; you can only carry up to 3 before getting more.

Complete the event “Help Kyung complete her ritual by consoling spirits, finding lost mursaat mementos, and driving away titanspawn” to earn this achievement.

Sweet Relief – 1AP
Complete all 3 “Use medicine to reduce titan’s inflammation and open the pathway” events. The task is simple enough: pick up the bottle from the NPC and use it on the wall blocking the pathway. Each event location is shown below.
NOTE: This is currently bugged at the time of this guide; completing north and south events won’t progress the achievement.
Separation Anxiety – 1AP
During the event “Keep the titans apart in order to defeat them” the champions will gain a break bar once they start taking damage. When this happens, you will be automatically mounted on your Warclaw, and you must use the Chain Pull skill #3 on them to break the bar and prevent them from getting together. You will earn the achievement if you succeed in breaking the bar.
To ensure there is enough time to break the bar before they rejoin, players can lure the two mobs away from each other before damaging them.
Two Birds – 1AP
For this achievement, you need to defeat an enemy with debris during the event “Use debris in the environment to help destroy the titan organ sacs”. To do this, you need to locate the debris and use the Warclaw Lance skill to destroy it, its pieces will fall on the organs and enemies below.
