Map achievements
Mist Tide Turner – 5AP
This is the meta-event “Of Mists and Monsters” in Janthir Syntri, but in reality, it is a World Boss. The event will spawn every 2 hours, starting 40 minutes after the daily reset for reference, you can also check the timer. You will get this achievement by completing the event for the first time.
NOTE: Three events from this map will ONLY spawn during this same time window, make sure to check them below in this guide for their achievements.
Two bosses need to be killed at the same time or within 30 seconds of each other. People should spread evenly and coordinate the kill before the time limit.
Decima, the Stormsinger
The north boss is harder to deal with if the mechanics are ignored. The boss will periodically awaken the nearby conduits. Players need to stand in the way when there is a green arrow indicator. The boss will gain stacks of Empowered per awakened conduit increasing their damage. If the arrow indicator is red, players on the way will instantly die, so these conduits will be inevitably awakened and there is no need to stand there.
The boss will do multiple AoE attacks around the entire area as well, so movement is important. At 75% the boss will gain Flux Shield making it immune to damage until the break bar is destroyed, but the boss will consume all the previously awakened conduits to refill the break bar making this phase longer unless the conduits are also destroyed. It is important to prevent the conduits from being awakened in the first place or the fight will be longer and the timer might fail, so stand in those green arrows!
Once the shield is destroyed, it is time to get on your warclaw, use the chain pull (Skill 3) on the boss, and run through the blue circles until the titan’s stability is depleted. After this, the fight will resume until 25% where the same phase will occur again. Finally, at 10% health, the boss will stop attacking and start charging its ultimate attack. This will do considerable damage and if the boss has enough Empowered stacks it could wipe the entire group.
Greer, the Blightbringer
The south boss is easier, but be ready to deal with conditions and corrupt attacks. The boss will mostly perform frontal attacks, so standing behind it will be the safest place. Periodically a green circle will appear on some players indicating to stack with allies. Doing so will prevent more AoE attacks that will stay on the floor corrupting boons and limiting the movement in the area, so stack on those green circles!
At 75% health, seven minions will spawn around the area that need to be killed as soon as possible. Once the minions are dead, the boss will gain a break bar that needs to be depleted before getting on your warclaw. Use the chain pull (Skill 3) on the boss, and run around through the blue circles until the titan’s stability is depleted. After this, the fight will resume until 25% where the same phase will occur again. Finally at 10% health, the boss will stop the attacks and start charging an ultimate attack, this will do considerable damage.

Fight Another Day – 2AP
Our Defenses Will Hold – 3AP
These two achievements can be obtained together during “Defend the kodan base from the Mistburned creatures“. You need to keep all six kodan alive, and keep the three barriers intact. This can be challenging if you don’t have enough people.
There will be 3 waves of enemies attacking. At first, there will be normal enemies, but during the second wave elite enemies will spawn and it is important to keep them in line by using CC before they can use AoE attacks. The third wave a champion will attack and players must lure him out to prevent collateral damage on the barriers.

Full Boom 1AP – 1MP
Poetic Justice – 1AP
These two achievements can be obtained together during the event “Clear Rising Bloom’s garden of Mistburned flowers.” You need to complete it without letting the NPC go below 90% health. This can be challenging as the enemies will shoot projectiles with conditions and fields that will persist below the NPC. The best suggestion to achieve this is to bring a healer, like a Tempest with projectile denial and condition cleanses. The event will scale up with more people and can get harder. AoE blinds and damage to clear the spread out enemies faster will also relieve the pressure.
Master Forager: Meat – 3AP
Master Forager: Vegetables – 3AP
