Champion of the Gold Road Achievement requires you to complete the Gold Road Main Story in ESO.

If you’ve forgotten what point of the quest you were and where to pick it up, you can use the Zone Guide to ping the location.

This is the first time in ESO that you have to complete another chapter story to be able to complete the following years chapter story to gain the “Champion of X” Achievement. You will not be able to start the “Relic Restorer” quest in ESO as Scruut will not spawn until you have completed the Necrom main story and gained the “Champion of Apocrypha” Achievement. You can check which character has completed the Achievement by hovering over it in the journal in case you’ve forgotten.

Important: You must complete the West Weald main story with the same character you completed the Necrom main story with.

Outfit Style: Nantharion’s Royal Cuirass

You will need to kill six World Bosses in West Weald to gain the Defender of the Gold Road Achievement. ESO World Bosses in West Weald hit hard and most of them have an immune phase, meaning you can not damage them and need to wait or kill smaller adds to make the boss take damage again. The World Bosses are quite hard to solo, so it’s best you bring some other players or ask in zone for help.

Defender of the Gold Road

Defeat all six group bosses in West Weald.

Defeat Spinner Urthrendir (Fall’s Glade)
Defeat Stri the Fate-Eater (Broken Path Cave)
Defeat Talon and Fang (Centurion’s Rise)
Defeat Hessedaz the Baleful (Fortune’s Bluff)
Defeat Recollection Leaders (Frontier’s Cradle)
Defeat Oakenclaw (Lake Olo)

Brazen Victory and Mirror Smasher Achievements

For this part of the meta-Achievement you will need to kill both of the Group Event Bosses in the Public Dungeons. You will find Viikor Brazen Hoof in Silorn and Yrrkkyyn in Leftwheal. These Group Events are quite a bit harder than previous zones, dealing more damage as an example. Be sure to slot some heals!

Defeat Viikor Brazen Hoof in Silorn.

Mirror Smasher

Defeat Yrrkkyyn in Leftwheal.
