Destiny Achievements Guide

[Work-In-Progress]

1. Change of Heart (20G) — Reverse a decision you made in an upgrade grid.

2. Ship Rite (20G) — Rebuild a Jumpship.

Location: Progress through the story in “Mission 1: The Divide”, until after you eliminate the Fallen looting the ship, to get a Jumpship.

As seen at 20 minutes into Doug’s video guide:

3. Bane of the Emperor (20G) — Kill 25 Cabal with precision shots in 1 mission without dying.

4. Decryptologist (20G) — Decrypt 25 Engrams.

5. Use of Weapons (20G) — Dismantle 50 pieces of armor or weapons.

6. The Life Exotic (20G) — Obtain and equip a piece of Exotic gear.

7. A New Steed (20G) — Obtain and equip a new personal vehicle.

8. Suited for War (30G) — Have all armor and weapon slots equipped with Legendary or Exotic gear.

9. Bane of the Kell (20G) — Kill 25 Fallen with precision shots in 1 mission without dying.

Location: In “Story Mission: The Dark Within” in Old Russia, Earth. Upon seeing the satellite dish installation (called Skywatch) in the Anchor of Light area. When you get to the front of that Skywatch building, to the right there’s a guarded cave.

Do yellow-number, critical damage, precision shots (like headshots with a sniper rifle) from a distance on the two Dreg enemies guarding the cave entrance. As long as the final shot before the enemy dies shows a yellow-numbered critical damage shot, you’re good to go. After killing them, they keep respawning when you go inside the cave & return outside, making it easy to get 25 kills in this area.
Play this Level 3 mission at least at Level 4 to be able to kill Fallen more quickly.

10. Lucky 7s (20G) — Attain a Grimoire score of 777.

Tip: Make sure to activate your 17 free Grimoire Cards from the “Destiny Trading Cards Codes List” on your Bungie.net account to increase your Grimoire score.

11. Bane of the Dead (20G) — Kill 25 Hive with precision shots in 1 mission without dying.

Location: In “Story Mission: The Last Array” in Old Russia, Earth.

Can be done in the last part of the mission, during the final stand when lots of grey enemies keep charging at you. They’ll keep respawning and coming for you (so you can kill them with headshots) as long as you don’t kill the two enemies standing still at the bay door.

12. Inspector (20G) — Inspect another player.

How To Inspect Another Player: Go to the Tower. Get near another playing to the point when you see the “Approach” & “Interact” button commands show, instead of those button you must press & hold the right analog stick (R3 button) until a menu shows up on-screen. Next, select the “Inspect Player” menu option.

13. Blink of an Eye (20G) — Kill 5 enemies in 3 seconds.

Location #1: On Earth.
Chances are you will unlock this achievement automatically while playing through the game, but if you want to get it out of the way or have trouble obtaining it, then load up the free roam on earth (Patrol Cosmodrome). A bit north of the starting point is a group of five low-level Vandals. If you are playing as a Titan or Warlock then use your super move against them. This should kill all of them at once. If you are playing as a Hunter then throw a grenade and shoot the enemies quickly (preferably with a rocket launcher).

Location #2: On the Moon.
The easiest way to kill multiple enemies at the same time is as a Titan — while fighting a swarm of Hive for the first time on a Moon area — use the Fists of Havoc move on them.

14. Valorous (30G) — Earn the maximum weekly Vanguard score.

15. Notorious (30G) — Earn the maximum weekly Crucible score.

16. Public Defender (20G) — Earn the highest tier of completion in 10 public events.

17. Finders Keepers (20G) — Assist in capturing 50 capture points in Control.

You can do this in the competitive multiplayer mode called The Crucible. To get there:
1) You must first rank up your character to at least level 5 by playing Story/Explore missions.
2) Go to the Tower Plaza and talk to the Lord Shaxx, the Crucible Handler, who will unlock this mode for you.
3) Get into The Crucible by going to the star map. To the right of Earth you’ll find The Crucible.
4) Select The Crucible’s “Control” play style, and help out other players (not in solo) to gain 50 capture points. Just keep playing this game mode and over time you’ll get to 50.

18. Relic Hunter (20G) — Assist in capturing 20 capture points in Salvage.

19. Hunter Killer (20G) — Kill 100 Hunters in PvP.
