Goff’s Loot Explorer Achievement takes place in North part of Kessex Hills, North of Earthlord’s Gap. Mobs in this area don’t do high damage, but there are two Veteran Cave mobs guarding the chest.
The door that leads to Splendid Chest and Achievement is locked and you have to interact with the door and defeat two Veteran Cave Trolls after that.

Forgotten Stream Halloween Achievement
Forgotten Stream Explorer Achievement takes place in North East part of Cursed Shore, North of Cathedral of Verdance. Very fast explorer, with couple of level 80 mobs that you have to defeat in order to acquire Achievement. Looting the chest can be hard since you have to defeat Veteran mob that is guarding the chest as well as several regular mobs located behind the chest.
Ship of Sorrows Halloween Achievement
Ship of Sorrows Explorer Achievement takes place in North West part of Straits of Devastation, SW of Strait of Malediction. The event is underwater, in the submerged ship that is laying on its side.
There are veteran mobs, as well as couple of regular mobs patrolling the area, thus be careful with pulling and killing the mobs. Their respawn time is short, so try to be as fast as possible. You can try a quick run for the achievement, skipping all the mobs, but looting the grand chest will be hard since a veteran mob is guarding it. You’ll need approximately 10 minutes to finish this achievement.

What’s the best way to find Haunted Door locations
Haunted Doors spawn randomly throughout the Queensdale, Kessex Hills and Gendarran Fields. Walk up to them and “Trick or Treat” monsters will spawn. These monsters drop Trick of Treat bags and count towards the achievement Halloween Hunting’, which you need to complete to get the “Emissary of the Mad King” title. If you didn’t complete this achievement yet, we believe these tips will help you:
- Get on a high-ground. They have a massive visibility range, you can almost see their green glow from the other side of the map.
- Use the “balanced” preset for graphics which allowed doors to render in the distance despite the rest of the landscape not being loaded
- It’s far more effective to be in the group (try asking in map chat for a party). More people = more door opens = more kills and more bags
- Bring your mesmer pals for ports and stack swiftness with whatever you have.
- Gendarran Fields locations:
- East of the northernmost Waypoint Provern Shore, It’s situated above a pirate cove, and there’s a heart vendor very close.
- Near Broadhollow Waypoint
- Queensdale Location:
Shaemoor Fields has 4 spawn locations very close to each other, you can stand in one spot and see all of those spawn locations from there.
