Map Achievements


NOTE: While you have the chance to “rent” the mount interacting with some NPC around the map, it is recommended that you work to unlock the Siege Turtle Mount because it will be necessary for many achievements and participation on the meta-event. There were some changes on the requirements as well to make it more accessible to casual players. Check the guide here: Siege Turtle Mount Achievement Guide


World Lore: Gyala Delve – 1AP

For this achievement you need to interact with Ari and read all the dialogue options.



World Lore: Special Ops Rescue Agency – 1AP

Head to Captain Wing Jun and read all the dialogue options. This is the first step to unlock the Special Ops achievements for the armor which you can see below on this guide.



Turtle-Powered Demolitions – 3AP

During the meta-event inside the tunnel, use your Siege Turtle mount to pick up Unbound Ley-Line Energy and deliver to the demolition squad. You can pick up max 10 charges at once and must deliver a total of 30 for the achievement.



Ambush Hunter – 1AP

Defeat a total of 50 Oni enemies. While they can appear in other Cantha maps, it is recommended to kill them in Gyala Delve because they count as two for the achievement progress. During the meta-event in the tunnel it is very easy to find them.



Top-Tier Turtle Pilot – 1AP

During the battle with the final boss, you will need to use your Siege Turtle mount to deliver Unbound Ley-Line Energy to two different spots. For this achievement you need to collect 10 charges in a row without getting hit by the shockwaves.



Let Them Fight – 4AP

For this achievement you need to deliver energy to the east side to recharge the Jade Behemoth which will help you on the fight against the final boss. The achievement will progress when the bar is filled so you will require your team to contribute energy as well. This achievement might take many runs as you need to do it a total of 20 times.

NOTE: You only need the Siege Turtle mount to collect the energy, but you can deposit while on foot and you will be able to clear the enemies contesting the circle faster by using your damaging skills instead of the mount, this can help more people progress the achievement.



Loaded for Demon – 4AP

Same as the achievement above, you need to contribute your energy to fully recharge the west side, which will allow your team to use the rifles to break the boss bar and progress the meta-event. This achievement might take many runs as you need to do it a total of 20 times.



Fast Break – 1AP

When the west side energy is filled, your team can use the rifles to break the boss bar and standing on the circle will recharge your skill 3 for it. For this achievement you and your team needs to break the bar under 3 minutes of its appearance or recovery.

NOTE: I am not sure if the time limit is 3 miutes or more, I personally got it under 3 minutes.



Triple Bypass – 2AP

Right after breaking the boss bar, three haze hearts will appear, for the achievement you and your team need to defeat all three under 1 minute, twice.



Jumpy Adventurer – 1AP

During the final fight, the boss will perform an attack hitting the floor with both hands spawning a shockwave. Notice the special orange circle for it that you need to jump over (on foot) a total of 10 times. The shockwave can be a bit laggy so try to jump in advance of the wave animation.



The Beast Is Down! – 3AP

Complete the meta-event by defeating the Ravenous Wanderer a total of 5 times.



A Brotherhood’s Best Friend – 1AP (Hidden)

After completing the meta-event, head east to where you recharge the Jade Behemoth and interact with it for this hidden achievement.

Special Ops Achievements


Special Ops Armor Collection – 10AP

To complete this collection you need to unlock all the Special Ops Armor skins, but just getting a set will unlock all weights, so you actually need 6 pieces only. Once completed you get the Special Ops Captain’s Helmet Skin as well.



Getting these skins will be a journey and a bit expensive so the first step is to organize/optimize your time and resources.

Below you will see the subcollections that need to be completed in order to unlock the others. But first a list of the materials that you will need:


  • 6
  • 4
  • 2
  • 1500
  • 125

Another requirement is having unlocked at least 12 of the Luxon Hunter’s weapon skins, which you can obtain as a random drop from the meta-event or by purchasing the selection cache from the Trading Post


And finally you will need a set of exotic Ancient Canthan armor (6 pieces) can be any weight, you can buy from Trading Post or craft them yourself. These sets are named Kraken/Tahkayun/Ritualist.



If you decide to craft these armor pieces yourself, you can obtain the recipes from Chin-Hwa at Daigo Ward Waypoint — [&BGUNAAA=] in Seitung Province. You will also need the rare skins unlocked first to be able to buy the exotic recipe, so make sure that you have enough currency for it, a total of 450 Unusual Coins for the rare skins and then 35 Unusual Coins for the recipes. (The rare skins can be unlocked from reward tracks too)

  • Threat Mitigation Training

For this step you need to complete the third part of the event chain that starts at Seitung Harbor only during nighttime. Check the day-night cycle HERE.

The first event happens just as night starts, it is called “Stop the extremist Speakers from binding the spirits” and once completed continues with “Escort Kyung to Zen Daijun’s main temple.” Finally the third part occurs at Zen Daijun Temple called “Defeat Tae-Sung, and stop him from harming the spirits” once you complete this event you will progress the achievement.

NOTE: Some people reported bugs getting credit on this one, I suggest you actively participate with the mechanics of the boss fight, by using your special skill on the spirits.



  • Threat Mitigation Training

Start at Temple of the Dredge – [&BEANAAA=] when Verasha (who is coming from Kropa Village) meets the two Ritualists Alina and Solon. This event chain is pretty straight forward, collect, escort, capture point and boss fight, all the events will hint some of the special mechanics that the boss will use, like the blue light knockback, the red arrow elemental and an extra “light safe zone” but nothing too complicated.

NOTE: This chain will start a few minutes after completing the event “Protect the ritualists while they repair the shrines” near the Temple of the Dredge, which is the same event required to access the jade portal for the mastery insight.

First event is called “Gather fungal residue to stabilize Verasha, the Speaker defector” then it continues with “Protect Verasha while she disables Igne Mossheart’s wards”, next is the event called “Disrupt Igne Mossheart’s followers in their ritual” and finally the boss “Defeat Igne Mossheart before he completes the ritual”, completing this last one will progress the achievement.



  • Threat Intervention Training (Amber Elemental)

This step requires you to defeat an Amber Elemental boss that spawns in a cave at east of the Altrumm Mines – [&BO0MAAA=] in Echovald Wilds.

This is a chain of three events, starting with “Drive the wallows out of the Altrumm Mines” then continues with “Use bombs to shatter amber deposits and recover the chunks” and finally the boss “Defeat the rampaging amber elemental”, completing this last one will progress the achievement.

BUG: Currently at the time this guide is published, there are multiple reports that the first event in the chain won’t start on most map instances due to an unknown bug. If you see Alchemist Lin and Gui NPCs stuck on the town it means the event won’t start on that map. Try again later or swap instances using LFG groups. You can use the chat command “/ip” to know the number of your overflow and try to find a different one in the LFG where the event might spawn.

  • Disaster Containment Training (Dragon’s End)

For this step you need to complete the meta-event at Dragon’s End and defeat Soo-Won.

Collection Achievements


Energized Tools of the Luxon Hunters – 10AP

For this achievement you need to unlock all 16 Energized Luxon Hunter’s weapon skins. You can obtain these as random drop from the chests in the Gyala Delve meta-event or buying them from Trading Post



Manifest Weapons

These collections can be unlocked by purchasing their “Historical Weapon Diagram” from the Requisitions Specialist NPC at Gyala Delve. Each one costs 100 Research Notes + 17,500 Karma, but once you buy one the price for the rest will increase by 100, the weekly limit (5) will reset the cost.



Not sure if more weapons of this set will be added later, but at the moment I suggest to buy all the diagrams at once (at higher price, a total of 1500 Research Notes) because their collections have 3 of 5 objectives in common, this means that completing a task once will get credit for all collections at same time, so this will drastically reduce the completion time for them.

12 Comments

  1. Can’t seem to replay for achievements. Particularly the chapter Full Circle for the dinner with the 3 NPCs.

  2. The “Purist Resolution Training (Purist elite)” doesn’t award progress to the collection. At least for me and 4 others that did it just now. Combined with the fact that they picked the Ember event chain in Echovald which has been bugged since EOD RELEASE amazes me. They are either trolling or really not giving a fuck.

    • They fixed the champion purist bug, I am not sure if the elite got bugged now, for me it did work. But yea this release have been a mess with the bugs, the Amber event bugged more for than a year by now is embarrasing, I wish I could do something but they don’t listen to me 🙁

      • The Elite was apparently not the correct one. Looks like after the pre-event there are 2 different possible follow up events, each with a different Elite enemy; and only one of them counts for the collection :<
        Anyway, thank you so much for the guides ^^

  3. It’s also possible to progress Jumpy Adventurer during the boss fight in the story instance. Might make it easier for people with high ping or who have trouble seeing the shockwaves due to all the AOEs and visual effects flying around. 🙂 (The shockwave is kinda finicky too, so I actually recommend standing fairly close to the circle marker where the boss is about to slam down, then jump inwards towards it just as the slam begins.)

  4. “NOTE: Some people reported bugs getting credit on this one, I suggest you actively participate with the mechanics of the boss fight, by using your special skill on the spirits.”

    The trick for getting participation for me was NOT going into the spirit realm

  5. Hell the event “Thwart the Purist agitatorsis” still bugged I was hoping that Tuesday’s update corrects all this but nothing in fact.I even sent a message to the support but still nothing.

    • Small update it is necessary to carry out the event and go get the champ in the ruins it walks a can everywhere in the ruins

      • So its not bugged? i kept doing the thwart event, and looking for him but no sign in hours…
