"Meeting the Asura" Achieve not rewarded
The first time sounds like you had not already completed the instance on that character.
As for the Achievements, I’m not sure which Achievement you were trying to complete.

Good luck.
That links helpful. All I know is I just want to play thru the thing for whatever achievements. I see that I should at least have the “Invisible” something or other. I just played it the way it looked like it was intended. Maybe I was “seen”? I also see a note that there is a “bug:” with the challenge mote.
I had played this instance before, as I said in the op but I must have reset it somehow without thinking? All I know is it wasn’t active when I had decided to try it again today.
Anyway, I’ll try again just to be sure but starting to think why bother if it’s bugged and I won’t get the mastery in the end. Thank you for you help.
Actually, it is not doable right now, at least the Unforgiving Infiltration since the challenge mote is bugged and never spawns. (Not that I’d have any clue where to find it as I’m doing it the first time, but I should stumble upon it, like I did with the others.) This frustrating since it’s blocking me from that particular set of Luminescent skin, and the corresponding Ascended Sinister trinket.
Do be mindful…you can only try for the Achievements on a character that has previously completed the Episode. You can’t complete the Episode with one character, and then do the Achievements with another.
Good luck.
