For this achievement you need to hear all the arguments during the trial. This will take at least four runs, and you can relog after finishing the trial to try again.

First dialogue:
- (Ferocity) Defend your friend’s honor (Councilor Mayameen, I take exception to that characterization. This “creature” is an associate of mine.)
- (Dignity) Ask to speak (Councilor Mayameen, if it pleases the court, I’d like to speak.)
Second dialogue, leading to a further two dialogue:
- (Ferocity)Explain the circumstances(Your Honor, Gorrik is working to PREVENT an outbreak.)
  - (Ferocity) Tell the truth (It’s the Scarab Plague. We believe Joko is planning to unleash it.)
  - (Dignity) Ask for the councilor’s trust (I can’t say more, Your Honor. You’re going to have to trust me.)
- (Dignity)Find an error in the court’s process(Your honor, did you have Gorrik examined?)
  - (Dignity) Ask for proof (So you admit you have no medical proof that he’s infected or contagious.)
  - (Ferocity) Call out racial bias (“Look at him”? What’s that supposed to mean?)

Squish, Squish – 1AP
Story Instance: Seized

NOTE: This achievement will be available once you finish the story first, after completing the chapter “Be My Guest” with the same character.

You need to kill all the Scarabs under 30 seconds. This happens right after Faren meet the guests from the ship. You can do this very easily with a mount like Raptor, simply run over them.

Stay Asleep, Sheep – 3AP
Story Instance: Seized

NOTE: This achievement will be available once you finish the story first, after completing the chapter “Be My Guest” with the same character.

Keep Istari the Inexorable from Awakening your allies. The boss gains a defiance bar often and you need to break it (CC bar) to prevent it and earn the achievement.

Decimation – 1AP
Story Instance: Forearmed Is Forewarned

Kill 6 Awakened with a single bomb blast. This achievement is almost free as Canach actually does it for you when he throw bombs around. Alternatively you can place a bomb on the barricades and luckily you will hit 6 enemies at once.

Glory Hog – 1AP
Story Instance: Forearmed Is Forewarned

Plant seeds at all the locations before Canach has a chance to help. First you need to plant seeds at the two locations where Canach was supposed to do it. Start with his two spots at east because he has superspeed, you can follow him and teleport ahead when you notice the mounds or check the map below with the locations and go directly. Canach will return to camp after his route is complete and you will have plenty of time for the other two.

Silent but Deadly – 3AP
Story Instance: Forearmed Is Forewarned

For this achievement never raise suspicion to the point that champions are deployed against you. It’s pretty easy to do as long you don’t get close to the champions. If you get detected by anything use your skill #1 and then skill #2 if necessary to kill.

Trip the Quantum Fantastic – 1AP
Story Instance: Forearmed Is Forewarned

Disorient 25 Awakened with the Quantum Mass Displacement Matrix. Basically what you need do is be spotted by an enemy and quickly use your skill #4 to teleport behind, you can repeat this very quickly on the same enemy at rapid succession and it will increase your progress instead of going for 25 different ones. You will see that the enemies will get stunned.

Whistling in the Dark – 1AP
Story Instance: Be My Guest

Successfully defend Canach while he arms the bomb in under six minutes. The timer starts when Canach goes to the door to arm the bomb, there is plenty of time to defeat all the waves of Awakened enemies before they reach Canach.

Captive Audience – 1AP
Story Instance: Be My Guest

For this achievement you need to get hit by EVERY trap, each time you get hit Joko says a taunt. Use your special skill all the time to reveal all the laser traps and make you sure you don’t miss any. There are a total of thirteen taunts for getting hit by lasers, fire and ice traps. You will see Joko standing there and he will speak when you get hit by a trap.

NOTE: This achievement is mutually exclusive with “Dexterous and Flexible”, you will need to run the instance at least twice.

Dexterous and Flexible – 3AP
Story Instance: Be My Guest

This achievement is the opposite as above, you need to avoid getting hit by all the LASER traps (if you get hit by the fire and ice traps on the floor you can still get the achievement). The best way to do this is with Thief or Mesmer and use teleports to skip the traps, use your special skill often to reveal the traps and be aware of the lasers in the room where you fight the Beastmarshal at the end. You can safely defeat the boss using range without risking to jump over the lasers. You can safely die and try again as long you don’t hit the lasers. Check the video below to see how to do it with Thief which is my recommendation for this:

NOTE: This achievement is mutually exclusive with “Captive Audience“, you will need to run the instance at least twice.

Map Achievements – 56AP – 6MP

Rude Awakening – 3AP

Talk with Lady Camilla at slightly north of the Allied Encampment Waypoint – [&BFcLAAA=] to unlock this achievement and two other as well (The Tyrian Service Medal and The Gandaran Service Medal) go kill Awakened enemies in the map until you collect 25 Awakened Blood dropped by them to earn the achievement (you will need the Vial of Awakened Blood given as reward for the backpack collections later on).

Debbie’s Cakes – 2AP

For this achievement you need to acquire 10 Debbie’s Cakes. You can buy them by completing the heart quest daily but only if you do it correctly. The idea is to use the torch to burn ONLY the diseased crops, not regular crops. You can use multiple characters to acquire all the cakes at once, or get them daily.

If no healthy crops were burned, you may buy 3 cakes from her.
If 1–2 healthy crops were burned, you may buy 1 cake from her.
If 3 or more healthy crops were burned, you may not buy any cakes from her.

This achievement is related to the Containing the Scarab Plague meta-event that occurs at Imperial Center for Applied Pestilence – [&BGcLAAA=] . You basically need to do it 10 times and loot the chests each time. Keep in mind you need the Access Card from killing the champion Inquest, otherwise you can enter to the chest area if someone else port you. Check the images below to see where to use the Access Card (you need to double click the card in your inventory for the effect).

Overstay your welcome in the Awakened Inquest plague research lab. There are two ways to earn this achievement:

Head to northwest of the Research Vault Beta – [&BFoLAAA=] where there is a hidden Inquest lab behind a cliff wall. There is a button disguised as a rock outcropping on the wall which will open the entrance, and the event called “Clear out the Awakened Inquest lab” will trigger, then stay inside until you get teleported out.

Crab Kickin’ – 1AP (Hidden)

At the southern shore by Corsair Landing you can find Surly Crabs, go near one and use the prompt “Kick” they will become Angry Crabs and will cause to attack nearby Awakened enemies, once they do it you will earn the achievement.

FTT Achievements – 30AP – 1MP

[FTT 100] Intro to Field Tech Turret Dynamics – 1AP

For this achievement you need to talk with Krew Leader Drazz at Allied Encampment Waypoint – [&BFcLAAA=] and he will tell you about the turret next to him. This will allow you to interact with the turret which will complete the achievement and unlock the next ones in this series of achievements.

[FTT 101-107] Core Turret Dynamics – 3AP

You need to FARM Awakened Inquest enemies to collect schematics scraps from random drops that will unlock the ability to configure Field Tech Turrets to various types. Speak to Krewe Leader Drazz to get started. Each completed schematic Drazz assembles for you will unlock the ability to configure Field Tech Turrets to that type. Drazz will begin selling [FTT] Deployment Kits after assembling at least one schematic; he will give you the first one for free and you will need many of these for the next achievements.

[FTT 201–407] Practicum in Advanced Dynamics – 5AP – 1MP

Tinker with turrets by building and upgrading them to discover new upgrades. This achievement can take a lot of time because you need to obtain every upgrade related to Field Tech Turrets.

After getting all the schematics from the previous achievement speak to Krewe Leader Drazz to claim your free [FTT] Deployment Kit and buy extra if you need with a cost of 1 Inscribed Shards + 5 Spare Parts + 50 Volatile Magic.

Unlocking the max upgrade level for each type costs a minimum of 875 Spare Parts (You mostly obtain these by killing Awakened Inquest or completing events in Domain of Kourna)

Level 2 turrets: You can reconfigure a single turret as often as you like. Each reconfiguration counts as building and does not have any cost.
Level 3 turrets: You can reconfigure a turret, then upgrade it once for 5 Spare Parts. You will need to do this eight times for each of the seven turret types for a total of 280 Spare Parts.
Level 4 turrets: you need to upgrade a turret twice after reconfiguration for 5 + 10 Spare Parts. You will need to do this six times for each of the seven turret types for a total of 630 Spare Parts.
- You cannot upgrade a turret to level 3 without first upgrading it to level 2. However, if you just unlocked a level 3 turret by upgrading a turret to level 2, you can save 5 Spare Parts per turret type by upgrading it to level 3 immediately.
WARNING! Be careful when interacting with the turret since they won’t change instantly after upgrading, leading to wasting spare parts if you try to upgrade or reconfigure it again too quickly.

These are all the sub achievements for each upgrade:
