SWTOR Dynamic Encounter Achievements Guide

Update 7.6.1 brought a bunch of fun achievements to the Tatooine and Hoth Dynamic Encounters! If you are new to Dynamic Encounters, check out the guide first before jumping into the achievements. This guide goes over the achievements that are more than just “complete each encounter once” and “complete x amount of encounters” – the interesting ones!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of these were on the Public Test Server, and didn’t carry through until live. Others were added for 7.6.1 and may not be entirely correct or in-game – I’m hoping to actually go take a look for them and double-check them once 7.6.1 launches!

Dynamic Encounters Guide in SWTOR

Desert Sand and Frozen Peaks Mounts Achievement

Completing the meta-achievement for the Tatooine and Hoth Encounters will grant players the Desert Sand and Frozen Peaks Mounts.

To get each mount, you will need to complete one of each encounter on their planet, and 125 encounters total on that planet. These are long-term achievements meant to be earned over time – not all at once. These mounts can also hold a pet of your choice on the back of the load lifter.

You can track your progress in achievements in the section Dynamic Encounters -> Hoth/Tatooine -> Mastery -> Encounter Mastery.

There are also some other rewards that are rare drops, covered in the main guide.

Hoth Dynamic Encounter Achievements

White Maw Disruptor

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Glacial Fissure / Encounter: Pirated Radio

Used the Long-Range Disruptor on White Maw Pirates

Use the Long-Range Disruptor on White Maw Pirates x100

Notes: Kill White Maw enemies to get a Disruptor.

Then select an enemy White Maw, then left-click the icon of the Disruptor in your quest log to use the item. You can only do this while you are out of combat – not once you’ve started fighting. It has a ten second cooldown each time you use it. As you have to do this 100x for the achievement, this is is a very slow achievement compared to many of the others

Jus make sure not to use the Disruptor in the center of the room without an enemy targetted, that way you won’t accidentally finish the encounter, and can keep blasting White Maws all you want.

Gentle Hands

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Highmount Ridge / Encounter: Fur Fur Away

You should consider a career in Icetromper research. Collect all three kinds of Icetromper fur without getting kicked.

Notes: Each time you pluck fur from the icetrompers, there is a 50% chance of you being gentle, or of you being kicked. There are three icetrompers – so each time you pluck the fur, you would need to not get kicked all three times by random chance. You have about a 12.5% chance each time you complete the three plucks to not get kicked all three times – but it is random in the end! If you want this achievement I would run this encounter every time you see it up, or run it on multiple characters when it is up.

Ice Trampled

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Highmount Ridge / Encounter: Fur Fur Away

That will probably leave a mark. – Get kicked by all three kinds of Icetrompers while collecting their fur.

Notes: Each time you pluck fur from the icetrompers, there is a 50% chance of you being gentle, or of you being kicked. There are three icetrompers – so each time you pluck the fur, you would need to get kicked all three times by random chance. You have about a 12.5% chance each time you complete the three plucks to get kicked all three times – but it is random in the end! If you want this achievement I would run this encounter every time you see it up, or run it on multiple characters when it is up.

Ortolan Gourmand

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Highmount Ridge / Encounter: Ice Fishing

The taste of the Fissure Sleeper was sublime. And completely indescribable. Eat a rare Ortolan delicacy.

HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENT!

Impulsive Eater

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Highmount Ridge / Encounter: Ice Fishing

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions. Eat a raw Fissure Sleeper, and suffer the consequences.

HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENT!

Expert Mountaineer

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Highmount Ridge / Encounter: Snow Capped Delicacies

Grappled Up (Or Down) Snowcap Mountain 100 Times – Use the Sturdy Grapple Points on Snowcap Mountain x100

Bloom With a View

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Highmount Ridge / Encounter: Snow Capped Delicacies

You kept warm on Snowcap Mountain, but now your allergies are acting up. – Keep yourself dusted with Snowcap pollen while collecting Snowcap flowers.

Notes: When you pick a snowcap flower, the second you right-click it, you get a 10-second buff called Snowcap pollen. I assume you need to run between all ten flowers while not losing the buff – so you have less than ten seconds between click each flower. I was not able to successfully do this myself.

Keep in mind this debuff, the stacks often you get from wandering around on the mountain will make you very slow. Some of them fall off when you pick a flower.

I recommend to do this Republic side because on Imperial side, you are very far from the respawn point if you die.

No Need To Vent

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Highmount Ridge / Encounter: Unnecessary Repairs

Repaired the damaged pressure regulators on Hoth without issues. – Avoid damage from the vents while completing Unnecessary Repairs

Notes: Avoid this, wait to walk until it is not red and steam is coming out.

Cool Under Pressure

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Icefall Plains / Encounter: Ambush

Shield yourself from all sniper fire while recovering Talz Communicators

Avoid all sniper fire using the Instant Shield

Shields Up!

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Icefall Plains / Encounter: Ambush

Use the Instant Shield to block 20 Talz Sniper shots

Shield yourself from Talz Sniper shots x20

Cut The Red Wire

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Starship Graveyard / Encounter: Mining Accident

Avoid triggering any Proximity Mines while disarming them on Hoth

Disarm all 6 Proximity Mines without setting any off.

Notes: Very carefully walk around the pathway where the mines are. You can see them by walking slowly and they will reveal themselves and not explode if you dont go too fast and walk onto them. Get just close enough so your cursor turns yellow and you can right-click the mine to disable it.

Mined Your Step

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Starship Graveyard / Encounter: Mining Accident

Got a little too hasty with mine cleanup on Hoth.

Detonate Proximity Mines instead of disarming them x50

Notes: Just run over them. Keep in mind that if the road is considered “cleared” and it’s just het Sappers that need defeating, the encounter will be marked as 50% done but no new mines will show up if you are coming late.

Old Droids, New Orders

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Starship Graveyard / Encounter: Old Droids New Tricks

Activate additional Defense Droids while accompanied by a Broken Blade Defense Droid

Activate additional Broken Blade Defense Droids x25

Notes: These droids are all over the area and you can just right-click more than the first one for this achievement. Tip: You can do this in stealth, but when you have a droid beside you it is not stealthed and causes trouble. DO NOT right-click the buff of what looks like an engine piece above your character portrait to dismiss the droid, or the additional droids you click won’t count.

Don’t Get Caught…

Planet: Hoth (Encounter Guide) / Area: Starship Graveyard / Encounter: Rodent Problem

Avoid being detected while slicing terminals in the Wreck of the Sendant Pride

Slice all terminals without being detected x5

Charge the Ad Gonk in “Road Gig: The Sophomore Album” beyond normal energy capacity. – Overcharge the Ad Gonk

REPUBLIC-SIDE ONLY.

Notes: I thought I would have to do something special for this one – but I just kinda got it while clicking batteries and I was only at about 88%. It might just be random from clicking the batteries.

Overzealous

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Anchorhead / Encounter: Road Gig: The Comeback

Get pulled offstage during the Double Sunburns gig in “Road Gig: The Comeback.” – Get pulled offstage

REPUBLIC-SIDE ONLY.

Wranglin’ Pro

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Anchorhead / Encounter: Spaceport Chaos

Quickly round up and deliver three bantha calves in “Spaceport Chaos.”

To get this, I think you need to catch 3 banthas, while taking less than 5 seconds in between catching each bantha and delivering the three banthas to the cage, but I have seen some players say they just needed to catch three banthas and turn them in.

REPUBLIC-SIDE ONLY.

Lizardly Wrath

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Surly Dunerill

Defeat the “Surly Dunerill” Dynamic Encounter after enraging the boss. – Enrage and kill the Surly Dunerill

Notes: To enrage the Surly Dunerill, someone in your group or yourself needs to go kill one of her babies.

I found her babies directly to the east of the encounter, kind of near Outpost Zaroshe, hiding in the shadow of a rock. They had yellow names and were small.

When you kill one, you get the Malodorous debuff, which makes you stinky.

You then have about 15 minutes to run back to the boss at the encounter location to the west and when you fighting the Surly Dunerill with the Malodorous buff, she will get the enraged buff, and everyone in the group will get credit for the achievement.

Natural Causes

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Boss Womp Rat [??]

Very few things are certain in life…- Wait for the End

Notes: The Wmop Rat

Hungry Little Guys

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Brooding Season

Find sufficiently disgusting morsels and feed Sand Wormlings during “Brooding Season.” – Feed Sand Wormlings x3

You are looking for a glowing blue dewback corpse on the ground. It may be in multiple locations.

The first we found was exactly north of the encounter.

The second I found was north west of the encounter.

The third I found was way to the east of the encounter.

Right-clicking the dewback will give you the Chunks of Carrion item. You can right-click the item from your inventory, and it will give you the ability to throw the item on the wormlings.

They will be running around near the center of the encounter. You will need to throw the carrion meet slightly ahead of where they are running on the floor because they are fast. If you are having a hard time try stunning the wormlings with a non-combative stun.

Bots Rush

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Czerka Sabotage

Defeat each Dynamic Encounter boss in the Dune Sea with a little help from a Czerka saboteur…

• Territorial Bantha
• Malfunctioning Czerka Droid
• Militant Jawa
• Surly Dunerill
• Sand People Warband
• Ancient Womp Rat

3 minute timer

Notes: You can only get this droid while the Czerka Sabotage encounter is available. It is a glowing blue droid, you right-click it, and then it gives you a 3 minute timer. The drodi will follow you anywhere on Tatooine including running far away, getting summoned, mounting up, or quicktravelling. So if there is another encounter up that has the correct boss while Czerka Sabotage is up, you would plan to pick up the droid then hurry to the correct encounter within a total of 3 minutes. This one is probably easier with friends.

OK, You Should Have Expected This

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Sarlacc Snacktime

The wells didn’t teach you anything, did they? Go ahead, jump in I guess

Notes: You need to jump in while the encounter is active – so don’t complete the encounter and then jump in or you’ll just die and won’t get credit.

Free Samples

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Sarlacc Snacktime

Feed the Sarlacc 15 times during the Dynamic Encounter “Sarlacc Snacktime.” – Feed the Sarlacc x15

Notes: This is to push Gamorreans into the Sarlacc put, not jump into the Sarlacc put yourself using the special weapon.

Hunger Buster

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Sarlacc Snacktime

Hidden Achievement: Feed the Sarlacc 30 times during the Dynamic Encounter “Sarlacc Snacktime.” Feed the Sarlacc x30

Notes: This is to push Gamorreans into the Sarlacc put, not jump into the Sarlacc put yourself. x30 This one will only show up when you complete the x15 one.

Meals with Squeals

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Dune Sea / Encounter: Sarlacc Snacktime

Hidden Achievement: Feed the Sarlacc 75 times during the Dynamic Encounter “Sarlacc Snacktime.” – Feed the Sarlacc x75 This one will only show up when you complete the x30 one.

Fangle Friend

Give Fangle a reassuring pat at each Jawa caravan stop location.

• Pet Fangle at the First Stop
• Pet Fangle at the Second Stop
• Pet Fangle at the Third Stop

Notes: There are three different encounters related to this achievement. Fangle is the little dog-like pet near the Jawas. You need to pet him at each encounter. All the encounters are in the Dune Sea area.

These are the three encounters:

• The Scavengers Tale
• Another Scavengers Tale
• The Last Scavenger’s Tale

To pet him, go very close to him and wait. A temporary ability will show up called “Pet Fangle”. Select Fangle and click the ability to pet him

Bad for Business

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Jundland / Encounter: Mandalorian Menace

Defeat each individual Mandalorian and Exchange Commander in “Mandalorian Menace.”

• Trevin Berno
• Bev Tarmo
• Kelbir Gray
• Borgorp
• Sever
• Greb Arqin

Notes: Inside the building, a different Commander will spawn every 30 seconds or so. Sometimes they spawn in pairs, sometimes they spawn alone. You’ll want to hang out near where they spawn in the building, and not finish the encounter – if you kill the commanders while you are not actively in the encounter, you may not get credit.

I had the other commanders show up frequently except Sever.

The Reckoner

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Jundland / Encounter: Raiders Reckoning

Free a total of 50 prisoners during the Dynamic Encounter “Raiders’ Reckoning.” Free Prisoners x50

Notes: You can only free up to 8 at a time per character. So you’ll need to run this encounter at diffeent times or hop between characters and free 8 prisoners approximately 6 and a bit times (50 prisoners – the blue cages).

Watch Your Step!

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Mos Ila / Encounter: A Worse Exchange

• Players who are currently mouse droids do count.
• You can only honk at an individual player once every 30 seconds – or you get an error message. You need to wait for the timer to run out to honk at them again.

IMPERIAL-SIDE ONLY.

Overkill

Planet: Tatooine (Encounter Guide) / Area: Mos Ila / Encounter: A Catastrophic Exchange

Use all experimental weapons on one target during the Dynamic Encounter “A Catastrophic Exchange.”

Notes: Try using it on one of the stronger droids with a silver star beside its name, so it doesn’t die before you can use all three. I had to use the Electro-launcher twice before it triggered.

IMPERIAL-SIDE ONLY.

Complete grenade-related achievements for the Dynamic Encounter: “Republic Attack: Mos Ila.”

You can find the grenade during the encounter in some bright glowing blue crates near the taxi pad and turrets – right click them to pick up grenades. There are three achievements for this to use the three different grenades on 25 enemies each in the encounter. As long s you have the grenades, even if you’ve finished the encounter you can keel throwing the grenades for credit. You only need to throw them, not kill the enemies with them.
