Need help getting the newest GW2 achievements? ZAM has you covered.

The Nightmares Within, the latest content patch for Guild Wars 2, comes with 10 achievements plus the meta achievement. The meta achievement requires 10 achievements to unlock, which can be obtained through any combination of the Living World achievements plus the once daily Living World daily achievements.

Tower Nemesis - Kill 4 different factions of Scarlet's minions anywhere in Tyria.

A pretty simple achievement that you will get by advancing through the tower and other achievements. Just need to kill one of the Molten Alliance, Aetherblade Pirates, Twisted Watchwork and Toxic Alliance.

The Nightmares Within - Complete 1/6/15 events inside the Tower of Nightmares.

Another straightforward achievement. Get credit for succeeding any events within the Tower of Nightmares, but this does not include the events within the chambers. Only events completed in the open world zone will count.

Tower Explorer - Find 1/4/9 chambers in the Tower of Nightmares.

Tower of Nightmares Survivor - Survive 1/3/7/10 chambers in the Tower of Nightmares.

For the explorer you just need to walk up to each of the 9 chambers, whether they are active or not. They are unique so you can't walk up to the same one each time for the explorer achievement. The survivor achievement is not unique however and requires finishing 10 of the chambers. (After finishing a chamber it will be time locked to prevent speed running a single chamber. This appears to reset when the active chambers are reset.)

At any time there are three chambers that are active. After a length of time the chambers will deactivate and 3 random chambers will activate. Below is a location for each chamber. The gold star is the entrance to the chamber while the player location icon is the beginning of the ramp to reach the chamber. Locations without the player location icon are chambers that are on the normal path and don't require extensive travel over walkways.

Tower Treasure Hunter - Open 1/2/5 tri-key chests in the Tower of Nightmares.

At the top of the tower there is a chest that is opened with a tri-key. A tri-key is made with a Mysterious Blue Key, Mysterious Green Key and a Mysterious Pink Key. The keys drop from monsters within the tower and from the chests at the end of chamber instances. Monsters and chambers on the first floor drop blue keys, green keys on the second floor and pink keys on the third floor. The chamber marked 6 in the above image counts as a second floor chamber, so each floor and key has three chambers.

Each of the keys can also be bought daily from Dee in Kessex hills for 15 silver and 10 Pristine Toxic Spore Samples per key. After one of each color is acquired, double-clicking any of the keys will combine all three into a Tricolor Key that is consumed when opening the chest. The chest will give samples, a rare or better and chances for a new minipet and the recipes to create an Infinite Toxic Krait Tonic.

Tower of Nightmares High Diver - Use the diving goggles and jump from the top of the Tower of Nightmares.

The diving goggles are at the top of the tower near the chest and story mission entrance. Simply equip the goggles and jump straight down off the ledge near the goggles.

Tower Antitoxin Injector - Inject 1 dose of antitoxin into the heart of the tower.

Tower Hybrid Master - Defeat the toxic hybrid without any party members dying. (Unlocked by completing Tower Antitoxin Injector.)

Tower Hybrid Slayer - Defeat the toxic hybrid. (1/3 times.) (Unlocked by completing Tower Antitoxin Injector.)

All three of these achievements are for completing the story instance located at the top of the tower. After completing Tower Antitoxin Injector the later two unlock, but it also keeps the NPCs from joining the player in the instance. These can all be completed solo, but Tower Hybrid Master is probably easier to do with a party since players can revive teammates before death.

Tower of Nightmares Diver - Use the diving goggles and jump from the exterior of the Tower of Nightmares.

After finishing the story instance, instead of leaving the instance normally there is a portal at one of the doors (looks like the portals to change zones). Leaving through the portal will place the player on a branch with goggles at the end. Equip the goggles and jump straight down for the achievement.
