Glacial Fissure
White Maw Disruptor
Encounter: Pirated Radio (Empire/Republic)
Loot a Long-Range Disrupter from the White Maw Pirates, then target White Maw Pirates and use the disrupter. It can only be used out of combat.
Trial By Fire Hidden Achievements
This is a larger string of achievements, follow the link HERE for the guide.
Highmount Ridge
Ice Trampled
Encounter: Fur, Fur Away (Empire/Republic)
Getting kicked by the icetromper is random, so this will likely take several tries to obtain. It does not appear that you can be kicked by an icetromper once you’ve collected fur from it, so you only get one chance per icetromper to be kicked.
Gentle Hands
Encounter: Fur, Fur Away (Empire/Republic)
Getting kicked by the icetrompers is random, so this will likely take several tries to obtain. It doesn’t look like you can cheese it (ex: entrench). I still got kicked through my entrench.
Bloom With a View
Encounter: Snow Capped Delicacies (Empire/Republic)
While collecting the Snowcap Flowers, never let the “Snowcap Pollen” buff fall off. The buff lasts 10 seconds and refreshes every time you pick up a new Snowcap Flower.
Expert Mountaineer
Encounter: Snow Capped Delicacies (Empire/Republic)
Use the Grapple Points 100 times to complete this achievement. You can use the same one repeatedly by standing about 5m away to complete this quickly.
No Need To Vent
Encounter: Unnecessary Repairs (Empire/Republic)
Repair all 6 pressure regulators without taking any damage from the vents.
Impulsive Eater (Hidden)
Encounter: Ice Fishing (Empire/Republic)
There is a Gargantuan Fissure Sleeper fish that can be obtained during the Ice Fishing Encounter. I looted both of mine from a Hungry Frost Stalker that attacked at during the Encounter.
As the description suggests, you need to eat it…but it’s probably not a good idea. Eat the fish raw from you inventory. You’ll get a debuff and take damage. Once you die, you’ll receive the achievement.
Ortolan Gourmand (Hidden)
Encounter: Ice Fishing (Empire/Republic)
There is a Gargantuan Fissure Sleeper fish that can be obtained during the Ice Fishing Encounter. I looted both of mine from a Hungry Frost Stalker that attacked at during the Encounter.
As the description suggests, you need to eat it, but not without proper preparation. To cook the fish, head to the Snow Capped Delicacies Encounter area and interact with the campfire near the Ortolan Wanderer. Then, eat the Properly Prepared Fissure Sleeper. You’ll only be able to do this part while the Snow Capped Delicacies Encounter is active.
Icefall Plains
Cool Under Pressure
Encounter: Snipers! (Empire Only)
Grab the Instant Shield from the crate when you enter the area, then keep an eye out in the areas marked on the map. Snipers will quickly unstealth then snipe you, so you have to be ready to activate the shield. Successfully shield all of their shots, complete the Encounter, and receive the achievement.
Shields Up
Encounter: Snipers! (Empire Only)
Unsure if this is bugged or I’m missing something. I completed the “Cool Under Pressure” achievement, but have made no progress on this one. To be updated…
Starship Graveyard
Cut The Red Wire
Encounter: Mining Accident (Empire/Republic)
The best way to uncover the mines without detonating them is to slowly walk around the area. This way, you get within proximity of the mine to expose it without setting it off. To complete the achievement, disarm all 6 mines without detonating them and complete the Encounter 5 times.
Mined Your Step
Encounter: Mining Accident (Empire/Republic)
Instead of disarming the mines during this Encounter, run over them and blow them up. You’ll need to do this 50 times, and can complete 6 per Encounter.
Old Droids, New Orders
Encounter: Old Droids, New Tricks (Empire/Republic)
Right click on a Broken Blade Defense Droid to activate it, then activate 25 more droids to complete the achievement. The droids are along the walls throughout the area.
Don’t Get Caught
Encounter: Rodent Problem (Empire/Republic)
Interact with the Control Pod at the entrance to the Encounter to control the Mouse Droid. Most of the terminals are easy to slice without being detected, but use the “Act Innocuous” temporary ability for any that have enemies close (the top right terminal in particular).
Successfully do this 5 times to complete the achievement.
Whiterock Wastes
Quality Products
Encounter: Snow Grift (Empire/Republic)
Buy one of each treasure locator from the Mysterious Vendor to get a temporary ability, then use each of them at least once.
One Person’s Trash
Encounter: Snow Grift (Empire/Republic)
Using the treasure locator items from the Mysterious Vendor, find one of each of the items in the pictured achievement above. It seems like it doesn’t matter which item you use to locate the treasure; I found the same object using multiple different items.
Limited Edition
Encounter: Snow Grift (Empire/Republic)
Using the treasure locator items from the Mysterious Vendor, find one of each of the items in the pictured achievement above. It seems like it doesn’t matter which item you use to locate the treasure; I found the same object using multiple different items.
