To obtain the Void Pitch Dye like shown here in this alcasthq twitter post or the alcasthq youtube video you have to complete the “Honor to the Spiritblood” achievement. This achievement can be completed in normal Vateshran Hollows, you don’t need to do veteran mode.
Honor To The Spiritblood Achievement
Complete the listed achievements for Vateshran Hollows:
- Scattered Spirits
- Seeker of the Hollows
- Fire Walker
- Trapped Between Worlds
- High Flyer
Scattered Spirits Achievement
“Locate the three missing Essences throughout Vateshran Hollows and collect every Remnant of each Type.
”In the Scattered Spirits achievement you have to obtain all the Essences and Remnant Orbs. The Essence location never changes, but the Remnants have a lot of possible locations and each run it will change. Each arena has 1 Essence and 5 Remnants, you can find a full map of all the arenas here. You will have to at least run the arena twice with a different rotation. So first you could do Hunter’s Grotto > The Wounding > Brimstone Den. The second time you can do Brimstone Den > Hunter’s Grotto > The Wounding. The reason why is simple, in the first arena you can’t obtain any Essences or Remnants because you don’t have the right ability to do so yet.
Seeker of the Hollows
“Locate and defeat all of the hidden challengers in Vateshran Hollows.
”In the Seeker of the Hollows achievement you have to find the three secret bosses that can be found in Vateshran Hollows. Each of the arenas (Blue, Green, Red) has one secret boss like shown above.
Fire Walker
“Using any Brimstone Orb, travel ten kilometers through lava.
”The Fire Walker achievement has to be completed in the Brimstone Den (Red Arena), after you kill the Magma Queen (First Boss), you will get the glowing lava orbs. Standing close to them and then doing a heavy attack will place a shield on you that makes you immune to lava damage for a while. The orb also respawns after a while, that means technically you can run around in the lava and then repeat the process at the same orb over and over again till you have 10000 meters. One normal run gave me around 400 meters, so it might take a while to get this done.
Trapped Between Worlds
“Spend 10 minutes affected by the Wounding Portal.
”The Trapped Between Worlds achievement has to be completed in The Wounding (Blue Arena), after you kill the first boss Zakuryn the Sculptor and the Flesh Abomination you will be sent through a portal. You can only stay inside the portal for a limited time, if you don’t catch any of the glowing synergies inside the portal or activate the lever, it will teleport you back to the start and you can go in again.
Therefore you can just teleport inside and run to the end and make sure to pick up the two glowing synergies that extend your time. Don’t activate the lever at the end, which will teleport you outside and deactivate the portal. Just repeat the process till you have this maxed out and once that is done, you can activate the lever and continue.
High Flyer
“Grapple 500 times”.
The High Flyer achievement can be completed in the Hunter’s Grotto (Green Arena). After killing the first boss called Shade of the Grove, you will obtain a grapple hook to continue. You can just find two grapple hooks that are close to each other and jump forward and backwards with them to get to 500. In one run I had to grapple around 40 times.
Conclusion
The achievements aren’t hard to do but they will take some time to complete. High Flyer, Trapped Between Worlds and Fire Walker can be done in the same run. Seeker of the Hollows and Scattered Spirits require at least two runs because you will have to change the order of the arenas that you complete a run. For example, you can do:
- 1st Run: Hunter’s Grotto (Green) > The Wounding (Blue) > Brimstone Den (Red)
- 2nd Run: The Wounding (Blue) > Brimstone Den (red) > Hunter’s Grotto (Green)
The reason you have to do this is because in the first arena you can’t pick up the Essence and Remnants and the secret boss won’t be reachable because you don’t have the special ability yet. For Example, in the green arena Hunter’s Grotto you need the lava orb to get to the Essence and the secret boss, but if that is your first arena, you don’t have that special ability yet, because you obtain this in the red arena Brimston’s Den.
Good luck!
