Notes[edit]
- A checklist of all areas for the Explorer achievements may be found here.
- ^ Glutton for Guidance: Hero-Tron must be standing in their spot south of the crafting stations to interact. While they are moving or in the Order of Whispers Headquarters, interaction will not work.
- ^ Not On My Watch: This achievement requires that you participate in both the Drive the Sons of Svanir from Coiled Watch and Defend Coiled Watch events. The NPCs can be revived to ensure that you still qualify for this achievement.
Trivia[edit]
- Deserted Coast and Thorn Hollow were originally listed in the Dragon's Stand Explorer achievement, even though they did not exist in the playable maps.[1] They were later removed from the list.
