*You will need to progress the campaign to complete this achievement. 4 of the 10 journal achievements are obtainable before progressing through the campaign. It will take several weeks to unlock this doing dailies. It will take longer if you go for the new weapons first.
This achievement is similar to the "Drizzt Do'Urden's Ally" achievement from the Maze Engine DLC. You will need to complete 10 in-game achievements that take place in the instanced chapter quests in the Cloaked Ascendancy story. The first 4 story chapters are the only chapters available without advancing the campaign. The achievements required are listed below. Along with the chapter it is unlocked in.
