Fancy Flying – 5 AP/Title

You may have to repeat the Heart of the Volcano instance a few times for this achievement. When you doing the descent, you need to avoid getting hit by the green balls shot by the destroyers. At first it is pretty easy but as you get down to the final orb, there are numerous destroyers all shooting at you. Luckily you just have to break one of the anchors to despawn the destroyers so scan the orb and then destroy the anchor ASAP. Once that first anchor is down, you are pretty much guaranteed the achievement. You will get the achievement at the end on the Balthazar platform.

Excess Energy – 3 AP

Only doable at the very end of the Heart of the Volcano. After you destroy that big “thing” in the middle, energy orbs will pop up in the sky and you have to glide to each. Find all 12 to complete the achievement. Sometimes the instance may bug out and only show you 10 out of the 12. In that case you have to restart the instance.

Searing Ascent – 10 AP, 1 Mastery

This is the jumping puzzle achievement for this new map. Jumping puzzle isn’t too bad (not really any hard jumps) and there are three checkpoints along the way.

You also absolutely need the new Oakheart Essence mastery for the jumping puzzle.

Can use Oakheart Essence Mastery to speed it up or just use updrafts
