Work in Progress

Trial by Fire

Game update 7.6.1 added several hidden achievements that can be completed during the Trial By Fire Dynamic Encounter on Hoth. This guide is in work and will be updated once I confirm more details.

Trial By Fire Encounter – Hidden Achievements

These will take a while to complete, because you need to complete the encounter repeatedly on the same character. You will collect bound items through repeated completion of the encounter.

The primary objective of most of these achievements is to collect various sensor data. There are three ways to collect sensor data:

1. Charge the Sensors more than once before activating

2. Calibrate the Sensors more than once before activating

3. Charging + Calibrating before Activating the Sensors (never activate unless you’ve charged AND calibrated first)

Every time you complete one of those actions, you will receive at least one inaccurate data item. You need these to complete the Junk Science achievement. You also have a chance to collect either Verified Temperature Data, Pinpoint Tremor Readings, or Accurate Flow Data. You’ll collect these to complete some of the other achievements.

Some of these achievements will require use of an Encrypted Commlink Antenna. To acquire a Commlink, complete the Encounter’s Bonus mission and there is a chance you will receive one as a reward. The Commlink gives you a buff that will allow you to complete 40 actions during the encounter instead of 20. It only grants this enhancement one time. The achievements that require the Commlink are also going to require a partner to heal you because you will be standing in the lava for a longer period of time.
