Successfully inflict 10 wounds on Kralkatorrik during the flight sequence. You have two chances to attack the weak points, the first time when Kralkatorrik enter the Melandru’s Realm and the second time in the Underworld.
You need to manually click the weak points and then use your skill #1 to fire. Each weak point takes three hits to be destroyed, you can change targets once the projectile is mid-air to save time.
NOTE: Due to a bug this might not be able to achieve normally, but you can just target one or two Weak Points and spam the attack on the same point.
Scissors of Fate – 1AP
Story Instance: Heart to Heart
Help block the ley nodes that are healing Kralkatorrik in under 5 minutes. To make this achievement easier, use your Drabonsblood Spear to quickly kill the Branded enemies from a distance.
Dexterous Dodger – 1AP
Story Instance: Heart to Heart
Defeat Kralkatorrik without triggering any Branded Traps. The traps have the form of a Branded Crystal, which explode on touch, and they will be around during the entire instance. Using range weapons will make it easier and you can let Aurene trigger them for you as well.
There is no time limit to this achievement or encounter, so playing safe with ranged can make avoiding the traps very easy.
Map Achievements – 133AP – 7MP
The Battle of Dragonfall – 25AP – 1MP
This is the map-wide meta-event of Dragonfall, for the achievement you need to complete it 25 times. The objective of the event is to establish Tier 4 status at the three camps: Mist Warden, Olmakhan and Crystal Bloom.
Each camp event starts on Pact Command Waypoint – [&BN4LAAA=] with their respective escort. Once each group reaches their destination, a waypoint will be available and players need to complete events to raise the camp influence.
Once all three camps reach Tier 4 the main event called “Break the Crystal Dragon” starts.
More events will take place until the Central Brandstorm collapse and you can proceed to the final step “Engage Kralkatorrik”.
There are four important mechanics to mention:
- Shrines: There are three shrines around the event area that you can use as free waypoints, They can be used while in combat, and even downed (the shrine will revive you). These are very important for movement and to restock Ember Charges or Spears.
- Crystal Pylons: During the event these pylons will rise and hover at random locations. When 10 pylons are active the entire area will be covered by a lightning field killing players in the zone. You need to use Griffon or Skyscale and use the special skill “Soul Binder” on them and “Release”. It’s important to have some players dedicated to this task.
- Ember Charges: Near each shrine you can restock charges and they are used to destroy Branded structures “Crystal Assemblers” to prevent more enemies from spawning “Branded Turrets” to prevent burning to allies.
- Dragonsblood Spears: At same location near shrines you can restock, the Spears are used mostly to remove the protection “Crystal Shielded” on the legendary bosses.
The final encounter has three phases:
- Phase 1: Weak Points
- Up to three Weak Points will show on the map with an orange dragon icon. These points are protected by a layer of Branded crystal, so three or more players need to stand inside the small white circle until Aurene attacks the Weak Point allowing you to damage it. An Elite Branded Mender will be summoned to try to seal the wound and you need to quickly kill the Mender or the Weak Point before it gets sealed. Once 6 Weak Points are destroyed the second phase begins.
- Phase 2: Legendary Branded
- Three Legendary Branded Bosses will spawn near each shrine and players need to defeat them at same time. The time window is 30 seconds to kill them together, otherwise they regenerate at 55% health.
- Phase 3: Weak Points
- Exactly as the Phase 1 but more Crystal Pylons will spawn. Once 6 more Weak Points are destroyed, the event is completed. Kralkatorrik will crystallize and you can loot the chests.
Hat Trick – 3AP
Defeat the 3 legendary creatures during the final assault of the meta event. Each of these bosses must be defeated around the same time to finish the meta, but it is possible for you to tag multiple. However, this isn’t really necessary since you must complete the meta multiple times anyway. You can focus on one boss per map.
- Legendary Branded Hydra
- Legendary Branded Riftstalker Matriarch
- Legendary Death-Branded Wrathbringer

While mounted, use 50 Soul Binders. During the final assault on Kralkatorrik you can use the special skill on Crystal Pylons to progress the achievement.
