A Waddle to Remember achievement guide

GW2 A Waddle to Remember achievement guide with detailed walkthrough. A Waddle to Remember is an explorer achievement introduced with the Halloween patch. Like the other skritt transformation related achievements, this one has a number of possible locations. At the moment this achievements seems to be obtained from chests located in Mount Maelstrom, Brisban Wildlands, Caledon Forest, and Metrica Pronvince (i.e. Maguuma Jungle area)..

Tips

Press ctrl down while looking for these chests as it will highlight their names.
Best to do this with a friend so you can find the skritt burgler faster and reduce the waypoint costs
Do not use any pets/clones if possible as the skritt may transform your pet instead. This is especially a concern for rangers.
Focus on low damage attacks so you don’t kill the skritt burgler too quickly

Judging from the pictures you might have mixed up Mount Maelstrom and Fireheart Rise? Great stuff anyway thank you!

i really have some trouble with this achievement (and other similar ones…) i mean, the skrit does not transform me… i killed him several times, and nothing happened except the drop. i also let him run away, following him closely and doing ome damage, but when he reached the destination, he didn’t transform me either. so, what should i do? 😀
- Dulfy
  
  not sure at this point sorry. Make sure you are not using clones/pets. I always get transformed everytime I did it but I know lots of other people with the same issue as you 🙁

Regarding location 3: Two pictures showing the location of the chest and the path the skritt takes.

What I found during some trys on the chests introduced with the halloween patch:\ 1. I found that the skritt drops a total 5 small bags of loot (purple colored bags on the ground) at set amounts of hp left (they can contain rare items)

2. He will drop a bag of loot if you down him, containing 3 items of varying quality (never got more than masterwork quality here

3 He will at least try to transform you twice on his way and these transforms can miss – so do not blind him

I’ve tried all four locations multiple times now, always in a sequence and I tried it at least five times. Nothing. It seems like there are many other locations for the chest, or a location is so hidden that it is hardly ever found. I hope people will report additional locations!

i noticed that when i open the thing that the skritt drops, he doesn’t transform me. so better not open those things and just try to kill him quickly to get the achievement
Frahnhus (Darkhaven)

Aly Lee

Possible Location #9 – Caledon Forest found the chest in -guest- server and when the skritt appeared I followed by doing normal attack and being in front of his path and at 50% health he transformed me (hope this helps for those who cant get the chest and get transformed)
Jesse

I just found it at location 9, and I was able to kill the Skrit.. But I didn’t get any achievement? How come?
- Jesse
  
  Ah I see, you need to get transformed for it..
- Dulfy
  
  You have to get transformed to get the achievement.
  - Jesse
    
    I did all the locations again now, but haven’t found the chest anymore.. Is it becouse I just finished it or becouse there are some locations missing?
    - Dulfy
      
      I think there are some missing locations
Zunte

Found the chest twice in #10. The first one couldn’t get the achivement. On the second finally got transformed

A note of warning to rangers. He’ll transform your pet and you will miss it. =/
koyomi

this skritt is broken or something? five times I’ve done it and he doesn’t transform me. all the others went fine.
- Dreadmaus
  
  same thing happened to me
- narg
  
  when skritt run away, he throw something like darts around him, and this dart must hit you, then you will be transformed
