How to unlock the Guardian of the Underworld achievement

    Much like the Statues of Persephone in Episode 1, there are 18 Rifts that need to be closed to attain ability points in return. Unlike the statues though, these rifts are in slightly less convenient areas and unless you have attained the story armor to help you, you will enter them at nearly half health.
    The rifts appear as gold circles on the ground and contain between 3 – 4 average health enemies with the occasional captain sprinkled in. They can attack you but remain invulnerable until you enter the rift. I don’t recommend an Assassin’s build or armor for these as there is little way to sneak up on them. Warrior or Hunter works best.
    Most of these are seen through just exploring and doing the story but I figured the least I can do it list them off to ensure you find them all.

    The 18 rifts are split throughout 3 areas. Each added 5.55% to the achievement progress. I noticed it rounded down in some cases throwing me off. Note: It didn’t happen to me but there is a flag stating tracking could bug out.

    The Scorched Lands

    Rift 1: After defeating Cerberos, you’ll be introduced to the mechanic in full. This one can not be missed as you complete it to progress the story and start your time in the Underworld.
    Rifts 2 & 3: Salmoneus’s Hubris- West of the Gate of the Slayer viewpoint
    Rifts 4 & 5: Ancient Temenos- A little ways north of the previous rifts
    Rifts 6 & 7: Lost Temple of Nyx- A little ways north of the main gate to the DLC, the Passage of Souls
    Note: Can be attained during main quest ‘The Snake Sheds His Skin’.
    Rifts 8 & 9: Barren Pond- East of the Tribute to Persephone viewpoint

    Chasm of Torment

    Rifts 10 & 11: Restless Nekropolis- Southeast of the Antaio’s Fall viewpoint

    Rifts 12 & 13: Echoes of the Styx- on the border of this area and The Scorched Lands, Southwest of the Gate Slayer viewpoint

    Rift 14 & 15: Pit of Deprivation- Northeast of the Antaio’s Fall viewpoint, over the mountain and on the path.
    Note: Can be attain while fighting the Fallen Guardian Agamemnon

    Mourning Fields

    Rift 16: Cave of Despair- Center of the area, North of the Gate of the Unbowed viewpoint
    Rifts 17 & 18: Cradle of the Underworld- East of the Theion Pits viewpoint
    Note: Can be attained during the quest ‘Fallen from Grace’. Requires Armor of the Fallen to enter veil for one rift. The other rift if down the cave to the right of the veil entrance.

    I used this interactive map to view the rift locations so this may help if you need a visual

    Arne at liveAll locations are marked as cleared on my map but it didn't pop up. Guess it's bugged for me -.-

    CultOfLuna64Thanks for the list, I was missing Cave Of Despair. On my map it was showing as discovered but no location quests, but when I jumped into it the Tartaros Rift popped up. Might be worth checking for anyone struggling.

    MrDemize16So as a total count after you complete all 9 in the scorched lands you should end up with 50% completion on your achievement
    Then after you complete all 6 in the chasm of torment you should end up with 83% complete. And when you finish the last 3 in the mourning fields you achievement should be at 100%. Keep track of that

    UnfurledEmu75The achievement can be glitchy, mine bugged at 94% (like some people said above missing one). The solution is doing all of them again.... luckly I had a save on the ellisium fields close enought to restart. Did them all again (you need the armor of the fallen first) and popped normally. If you dont have a backup save I guess you can use the option to begin the first dlc with a new lvl 52 character and redo everything...
