Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, I have wrote up a guide to The Origins of Madness achievements along with a guide for the Twisted Marionette fight which you might find useful. I will just cover the achievements here as the guide for Twisted Marionette is a bit lengthy.

• Link to Twisted Marionette boss guide: http://dulfy.net/2014/01/22/gw2-twisted-marionette-boss-guide/
• Link to Origins of Madness achievements: http://dulfy.net/2014/01/22/gw2-the-origins-of-madness-achievement-guide/

DAILY AND META
If the achievement in this category sounds complicated or time consuming (it can be), you can still finish the meta by doing the daily achievement like every other release. You only need 11 achievements or 11 dallies to finish this meta, which rewards 50 achievement points.

• Jan 21 daily – Boss Thumper I – fight either the Twisted Marionette or the Great Jungle Wurm
• Jan 22 daily – Boss Thumper II – fight either the Twisted Marionette or the Great Jungle Wurm

STORY CONTENT

• These achievements are something you can do on your own and not tied directly to the Twisted Marionette fight or the Giant Jungle Wurm.
• All three of the achievements in this section are covered in this guide for Scarlet’s Secret Lair and you do not need to do anything extra to get these achievements. You only need to follow it up to the Power Core Component section and can ignore the section about Code Fragments as they do not reward you with achievements.

The Secret Lair – 1 pt

• Discover Scarlet Briar’s Secret Lair in Lornar’s Pass – You have to have participated in Twisted Marionette fight in Lornar’s Pass at least once to get your Living World tracker to point you there.

Energy Probe Defender Slayer – 8 pts

• Defeat 50 energy-probe defenders.

Energy Probe Dismantler – 5 pts

• Destroy energy probes in 5 different maps.

TWISTED MARIONETTE FIGHT
Achievements here are tied directly to the Twisted Marionette fight. You cannot get all of them in one Twisted Marionette fight so you will need to do this fight a couple times at least depending on how well your map completes this event.

Marionette Defender – 10 pts

• Participate in each of the 5 marionette portal defense events.
• This is the easiest achievement to get and something you can get in just one fight. There are 5 lanes to this fight and inside each lane is a portal defense event. All you need to do is get event credit in all 5 lanes. While it is not recommended, you can hop lanes during the fight and participate in all 5 lanes.
• Picture of the lanes provided by Vancelot on Reddit: http://i.imgur.com/zASH0eD.jpg

Lane Dependent achievements

The following 5 achievements all have something in common.

• Marionette Lightfoot –5 pts
• Marionette Sidestepper – 5 pts
• Marionette Short-Circuiter – 5 pts
• Marionette Dodger – 10 pts
• Marionette Muter – 10 pts

a) You must complete phase 2 successfully in addition to avoiding the specific attacks from Twisted Marionette. Phase 2 is when your lane get teleported inside and split into 5 groups on 5 discs. Your entire lane must complete the phase 2 objectives successfully under the time limit to gain the corresponding achievement. Achievement is rewarded at end of phase 2, when you succeed.

b) The chart below is order by chain. By default each lane is matched to a chain (i.e. chain 1 is assigned to lane 1 etc) but if that lane fails to complete their phase 2 successfully and sever their chain, their chain gets passed down to the next lane and so on until a lane is able to complete it. So you must keep track of who failed to sever their chain and which lane is doing which chain. If you are after the Marionette Dodger achievement for example, it is chain 4 and by default assigned to lane 4. However, if they lane 2 fails to sever their chain, everything is shifted by one so lane 5 is now doing chain 4 assuming lane 3 doesn’t fail the passed down chain

Marionette Deregulator – 10 pts

• This achievement is similar to the 5 achievements above but it is tied to killing the 5 different Regulator Warden mobs rather than avoiding the specific attacks from Twisted Marionette. However, like the achievements above, you must keep in mind the following
• Achievement is only awarded if you complete phase 2. It doesn’t matter if your group killed the champion regulator, the entire lane (all 5 groups) have to do it and finish phase 2 under time limit.
• If a lane fails, that regulator mob will appear again in the next lane and the entire chart shifts down by one.
• There is nothing to keep track of which ones you have killed. You can use the Marionette achievements to help you but they are not tied together as you can kill one of the regulator mobs in a successful phase 2 but failed to dodge the Marionette’s attacks. Write it down somewhere so you can keep track of it.

Marionette Dismisser/Marionette Tangler

• You get these two achievements when you defeated Marionette successfully. Tangler is rewarded automatically but you will need to /cheer when the Marionette leaves to get the Dismisser achievement.

GREAT JUNGLE WURM FIGHT
There is only one achievement under this section and it is related to the Great Jungle Wurm rather than the Twisted Marionette fight.

Vigil Field Supporter- 5 pts

• The Great Jungle Wurm fight occurs every 2 hrs on the hour and alternates with the Twisted Marionette fight. There are 3 separate vigil escorts that starts about 10 minutes past the hour at Firthside Vigil Waypoint in Bloodtide Coast and you need to do all three of them. Usually you only do one escort each time so you will need to do this Great Jungle Wurm 3 times to complete this achievement.

Enjoy and let me know if I made any mistakes etc

always +1 for dulfy

Thanks as always for your awesome guides Dulfy! I really appreciate all the effort you put into making these guides. We would truly be lost without you!

+9001

Can we remove the lion statue in LA and put a Dulfy’s one instead?

Due to feedback, the lane chart has being changed to chain chart to avoid confusion

I can’t complete “Marionette Lightfoot” achievement, I dodged all of her stomps and finished phase 2, 5 tries without luck. Do we also rely on other people in our disc ?
My lane was succeeded finishing phase 2. I think these kind of achievements must be personal.

You have to succeed in breaking the chain, Umut. As in, YOUR ENTIRE LANE MUST SUCCEED PHASE 2.

Sadly this is the part that will haunt me as well, completing all these phases and getting the achievements. T_T

Thanks for your hard work and research as always, dulfy.

Good stuff Dulfy, very useful.

Is one dodge enough or do we have to dodge all attacks in that tier ? (sword, stomp scream etc.)

For each phase 2, there is only one special attack from Marionette so you just need to avoid that AND successfully complete phase 2 to get the achievement for avoiding that special attack.

Are the lanes correct in those pictures? I was in what is supposedly Lane 4 according to the picture, thinking I was in Lane 2 and we had the Warden II, the mine dropping and spinning and it appeared to be the kick move.

This happened because your lane 2 and 3 failed so you are lane 4 got chain 2.

The chart is ORDERED BY CHAIN. By default each lane is matched to a chain (i.e. chain 1 is assigned to lane 1 etc) but if that lane fails to complete their phase 2 successfully and sever their chain, their chain gets passed down to the next lane and so on until a lane is able to complete it.

I see. Now does that explain why I didn’t get the kick achievement then, since that wasn’t my original lane, or was it because we failed the event overall. We killed the regulator and then the switch I guess before time ran out but didn’t get the kick achievement I thought I was going for.

I can’t seem to do the “Vigil Field Support” achievement.

I’ve escorted them so many times and its not giving me the achievement.

all except one which is when I escorted the amber wurm vigil for the first time. That worked for some odd reason.

Seen that happening to a couple people. try join a group and do enough damage to all the mobs along the way to get event credit maybe?

I cant seem to get the Marionette Lightfoot Achievement for the 3rd time already.
Yes i have successfully evaded as wrote on game screen and Yes all five groups had successfully defeat their champion Regulator mobs and destroy their Power Regulators within the time limit.
So is this a glitch/bug?

can someone list 5 maps with probes? I’m running around like a lunatic trying to find a 5th map with some. ):.

(maps < level 60 please.)

I know of Caledeon/Kessex/Bloodtide/Lornars Pass … just need 1 more.

*Caledeon
*Kessex hills
*Bloodtide
