“

Relive moments from Season 1 of the Living World story.

— Scrying Pool

From the original Living World Season 1 Episode 6, Last Stand at Southsun:

• Canach's Lair — to unlock it, complete the Darkrime Delves story step, interact with the Message in Hall of Monuments, and find the Discarded Landmine Fuse in Bakestone Cavern.
  • Can be later accessed via the "Experience a vision of your past adventures." dialogue option.

Historical

Although these visions have been removed from the Scrying Pool, for the related achievements (such as Back to the Past) the relevant Living World Season 1 story steps in the Story Journal count instead.

• Braham - Retake Cragstead — replaced by The Battle for Cragstead in Episode 1, Flame and Frost.
• Rox - The Hatchery — replaced by New Friends, New Enemies in Episode 1, Flame and Frost.
• The Nightmare Incarnate — replaced by The Nightmare Incarnate in Episode 4, Tower of Nightmares.

Bug:

The Battle for Cragstead and New Friends, New Enemies no longer count for Back to the Past

Strike Missions

“

Blaze a path northward with the Steel Warband.

— Scrying Pool

• Forging Steel — to unlock it for a character, complete the Forging Steel story step in Living World Season 5 Visions of the Past: Steel and Fire episode, and finish talking with Aurene.
  • The strike mission (or the story step of the same name) does not count as a vision of the past for the Back to the Past achievement: only Season 1 instances and story steps listed above do so.
  • This option has to be unlocked for every character separately by playing the related story again.

Notes

• Unlike the episodes of Living World Season 2 and onward, Season 1 could not be formerly replayed in its original form, but selected scenes were be unlocked and accessed in the Scrying Pool after completing the corresponding mastery achievement (by going to the open world location where each battle took place and searching for a memento). As Season 1 was reimplemented into new permanent episodes, accissable from the Story Journal, the instances featured in those episodes were removed from the Scrying Pool.

Bug:

When choosing to remember a moment with Bangar, he will not appear for characters that already completed the Champion's End^{[verification requested]} instance, preventing access to the dialogue.
