Introduction


Sharing is caring

I wanted to make this guide, because there is almost no information about the hidden achievements to be found on the Solo Discord or Solo Forums and most of the top ranked players in the achievement section tend to gatekeep their knowledge.
If you got any adventure achievements that are missing in the guide or have more information about one and want to contribute, please leave a comment.

What is this guide about?

This guide will help you to get the following achievements from the Achievements -> Heroic -> Strange encounters section:
- More than 50 hidden Adventure achievements. There are probably even more.
- Investigate Riddle of the World
- The collision of truth-seeking fire

There are also some hidden non-adventure related achievements at the bottom


What are Adventures?

They are small mini events or other points of interest that you can find throughout the world. They usually require you to do activities you normally wouldn't do or see.

Are there any spoilers?
Yes, everything here is a spoiler. For minimal spoliers skip the zone pictures and check the individual achievement pictures. Some of them might be helpful to at least know what to look for. If you want to explore the adventures on your own stop reading!

Class adventures
The following adventure achievements can be done everywhere. Please do NOT harass other people while doing them! Ask them nicely :)

The well known recipe
- Use 10 Oven of life from different Bards

Arbitrary Matchmaking
- Get pulled by 10 different Reaper

It pleases me
- Have 10 Summoner dance for you (they have to target you and you'll get a 10min buff)

Travel with the wolf
- Ride on 10 different Berserker

Chain Store
- Use 10x Heaven's Fortune from different Spearmasters

Air Travel Unit
- Use 10x Cloudstep with different Spellswords
Non-zone specific adventures
Fascinate the whole city with dance
- Just dance
- Some people got it while doing the other dance achievement in chang'an, some at biography #34 and some just random. So it is probably just dancing.
Other hidden non-adventure achievements
The following achievements are not part of the strange encounters, but i thought it is still a good idea to list them here.
- (Team) means everyone in the team has to fullfill the conditions
- (Personal) means that only you have to fullfill the condition
- (Extreme) means that you'll only get it in extreme difficulty.

Achievements -> Instance -> Yemo City in Wuzhao
Sad Farewell
- (Team) Don't kill the lovers that are standing on a small hill on the left along the road to the first boss (You should probably already have it since you usually don't pull them)

Rain and Snow
- (Team) After Mengdu: Take the hidden path on the left and kill the assassin

Cuddling Up Together
- (Personal, Extreme) On Wu Yeyu: Don't get hit by "Sword Energy Formation - Spread" (Be in melee range and use a CC immunity once the tiger jumps into the middle or check the speech bubble of the boss once she says something with "Formation - Spread". After that the tiger will come every 60sec, so you can just use your anti cc on cd)

Step by Step to Success
- (Personal, Extreme) On Mengdu: Dodge "Falling Stones"

Comet of Insanity
- (Personal, Extreme) On Yi Siwen/Mona/Joatuo: When Yi Siwen is on the field, dodge "Continuity" from Mona

?
- (Personal, Extreme) On Wu Yeyu's Wild Transformation: Keep 70 stacks for 30sec (doesn't have to be 30sec continously, just in total)

Achievements -> Instance -> Temple of Mercy
Death is Not the End
- (Team, Extreme) On Nightmare Demon General: Don't kill the hearts that spawn when killing the Imperial Guard Officer and let them revive at least once

Daoist Heart:
- (Personal, Extreme) On Nightmare Wu Rui: Don't kill the Heart Demon (Tanks and Healers don't get it) at least once

Nightmare Trap
- (Team, Extreme) On Nightmare Wu Rui - Strangers Sword: During the darkness phase don't step into the light

Achievements -> Instance -> Frostbidden Path
It Stinks but It's Tasty
- (Personal, Extreme) Defeat Huang Chenshui while having the "It stinks!" debuff at least one during the fight (Kill the weasel cook and eat his chicken)

What's Going on out There
- (Personal, Extrem) Defeat Gui Langjun while being trapped inside the Treasure Chest. You can stand near the player with the marker to get trapped aswell.

Roast Mushroom
- (Team, Extreme) Defeat Gua Dazhuang after he killed 6 mushrooms with his "Generate Fire Waves!" skill (once he is below 40%). Mushrooms spawn when he jumps on a player. (Tip: Spawn more than 6 since he often doesn't kill em all)

Pickling with Star Aniseed
- (Personal, Extreme) Defeat Han Yi while being pickled in star aniseed (don't know yet what that is)

Achievements -> Instance -> Chou Prison
The Blade and the Sword Lose Control Easily
- Get killed by the rotating wooden poles in the endboss arena
(I got the achievement in my next chou run during the cutscene somehow, seems bugged)

Group of Saints
(Team, Extreme) On Zi Sanquian don't get hit by the ground explosion from "Fatal Staff" (Note: If you check the Combat Stats, the tank should have only getting hit as many times as ground explosions happened, because he can't avoid the frontal cleave that comes after)

Full Physical Action Against the Shadow Sword
(Team, Extreme) On Li Xiaotang catch all "Shadow Sword Mana" that spawn in the corners (Note: For us they always spawned bottom right first and then clockwise. Position one person on each corner directly atop the sword to prevent the boss getting the line when he jumps)

Cook the Copper Tiger
(Team, Extreme) Defeat Tongpi after "Sitting Upright Outside the Gate of Hell" (wood element) has reached the maximum range. (Note: While he is standing in wood element he'll get almost no damage, so make sure to have him low)

Achievements -> Instance -> Raging River Ruins
I Do Not Use Bad Martial Arts
(Team, Extreme) Defeat Yin Beast Hellhound without getting hit by "Stinking Poison Ball" (Note: Basically play the mechanic with the 3 circles the intended way and get your artifact buff)

Don't Be Jealous that He's Stronger
(Team, Extreme) Defeat Venerable Qianjun after he used "Summoning Dark Qi" (below 13%) and revived the Powerful Devastators

No One Hears the Roar of the Lion
(Team, Extreme) Defeat Ruin Guardian Suan Ni without any team member getting hit by "Roar of the Stone Lion" (bullet hell)

Comback Trick Against the Brave General
(Team, Extreme) On Spring Plague General hit an elemental each time "Heavenly General's Grip" is cast (Marker above one players head once the adds spawn)

Achievements -> Disputes -> Disputes
Decisive Battle on the Cloudrise Summit
- Begin a duel on the top of Yaotian Palace in Cloudrise

Achievements -> Life -> Gold of the Four Seas
Sweet bait with a straight hook
- Equip the fishing bait before using the fishing pole. Repeat 20 times.

@ogpeewee Gute Frage. Die Bilder sind noch drin, aber in der Bilderübersicht haben die irgendwie eine Größe von 0kb und nur nen Fehlerbild. Hab nochmal versucht, die neu hochzuladen und auch den Namen der Bilder geändert, aber die lassen sich irgendwie grad auch nicht bei Steam mehr hochladen.

@shoki I remember when i was going through this guide. The zones all had maps similar to cloudrise. They seem to not be in the guide anymore. Were they removed?

@Scyntrian
For the "Recorder" you need to buy and use 10 "Mechanical Chicken Learning To Talk" from the leisureland trader
Scyntrian 21 Sep, 2021 @ 2:25am 
Any explanations for the achievements under Collectibles > Rare Treasures? They're not hidden but the descriptions make no sense.
Eliiasea 13 Sep, 2021 @ 10:21am 
@KingsNeverDie thanks i got it!
Azothriel 13 Sep, 2021 @ 7:07am 
This is absolutely insane. Thanks!
KingsNeverDie 13 Sep, 2021 @ 6:45am 
@shoki yea i think i got pulled by more than 10 reapers by now so i dont know what exactly triggers that but unlike you i got pulled in the city by asking people around
shoki  [author] 13 Sep, 2021 @ 6:26am 
@KingsNeverDie
I have no idea. Got the achievement just randomly while running dungeons. Probably because i am tank. If you know what it is called, let me know :>
KingsNeverDie 13 Sep, 2021 @ 5:55am 
@elilasea follow the guy exactly what he do
what i did before is i let him say the line, sprint, triple jump and arrived right behind the spot he will be, when he arrived he will jump 4 or 5 times kinda forget, follow him jumping and you will get the achievement
you have to arrive before him and you have to jump before he move i think
KingsNeverDie 13 Sep, 2021 @ 5:53am
