Hi,

I’m trying to complete this achievement, Cleaning House, during the Rata Novus story mission. There’s a bit of conflicting information here, where dulfy guide indicates you have to destroy 32 turrets (same number as the achievement panel indicates), however, dulfy’s guide states that some of these turrets won’t attack you, while the achievement panel says destroy 32 active turrets.

In any case, I’m at 28/32 and i’ve spent an hour searching the entire instance, but no more are to be found. Is this bugged or am i missing something? As I cannot find the last 4 needed, either neutrals or hostiles. The only place i haven’t searched extensively is underwater, though i did swim around closer to the surface, but couldn’t see anything.

If anyone could enlighten me please, as this is the last story achievement i need in TD and would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

It shouldn’t be bugged and they supposedly fixed this. Apparently not in your case. Try to move your cursor all over the screen to see if it flags any of the turrets. It’s also easier on guardian as you can just spam staff #1 and get lucky.

The only turrets underwater are those in that tunnel from what I remember.

There are some towards where you start the instance.

Actually no, i got those 4 at beginning. This was not my first time completing that part, I’ve done it like several times, but hadn’t focused on achievements till now. When i checked the achievement requirements for that story part, it showed i already had done 9/32 turrets and last night, with my current character got up to 28/32. I killed ofc those leading up the lab as i’ve done every time i did that story part, but none counted toward the achievement progress.

Before i proceeded to the lab, I noted my progress was at 87% and it remained that way even though i killed quite a few along that ramp, leading into the lab. So it dawned on me that those perhaps didn’t count b/c my previous chars killed these guys already, which is kinda weird in itself really. So i went searching the whole area several times and found nothing more. so unless they’re deeper underwater, i didn’t look there.

Furthermore, i didn’t get credit for getting those notes and following the clues either. Got all 3 notes and used the correct code at the end, went through the portal that opened up, nothing. It’s still showing in my achievements as not done. So now i got these 3 notes, dunno if i should keep them or trash them as they’re taking up space in my bank among many other items i have no idea what to do with.

There are 4 turrets underwater. Since you say you didn’t look there, you probably missed those.
Dulfy has a map with all the locations (underwater ones are marked not with a red dot, but with a blue circle with 4 in it). Notice, that golems (there are also 4 of those) are not marked.

Actions, not words.
Remember, remember, 15th of November

Yea i suspected if they’re anywhere they’d be underwater, but by time i thought about that it was too late, i was beyond the point of being able to return.

Anyway tnx very much i’ll check that out on another character.
