GW2 Associate of Baubles achievement guide for Super Adventure Box. For this achievement, you must collect all the baubles inside Zone 1 (Sunny Glade).
Contents
General Info & Video
Tips:
- For a painless collection of baubles, use Infantile mode, which works but you need to buy keys from shops since mobs do not drop them. Make sure you have at least 50 baubles to start for 2 keys just in case.
- Only baubles in the “open” world and in chests count – those dropped by enemies or found by smash things in shop/dug up do not.
- You cannot exit to SAB hub while doing this, doing so will reset your progress. You can die or go to Moto’s Hell (i.e. where you need to buy more continue coins).
- If you DC/crash etc then you will need to start over.
Video guide
Entrance to checkpoint 1
1. Bauble on top of tree (+1)
2 Bauble inside the chest near waterfall (+1)\ 3. Bauble inside the first hidden room behind the waterfall (+5)
4. Bauble inside the second hidden room to the left of checkpoint 1 (+5)
Checkpoint 1 to 2
5. Four baubles on the left atop the trees filled with monkeys (+4)
6. One +20 bauble inside the chest (key obtained by killing monkeys or brought from store) and a +5 bauble just on the ledge below.
7. Twenty baubles inside the hidden room 4 right before the checkpoint.
Checkpoint 2 to 3
8. Six baubles inside hidden room 5 between checkpoint 2 and 3. You can get this area by jumping on the rocks to the right of checkpoint 3.
Checkpoint 3 to 4
9. Three blue bauble (+1) and one green bauble (+5) inside the maze with the Queen Beedogs.The maze is hidden in side the first corner after you cross checkpoint 3. It may help to run to the end of the maze and then jump on top of it to look down on the baubles. Remember that there are four baubles inside the maze.
10. Behind the maze is an open area with Queen Bee Dog. Defeating her will give you access to her honeycomb, which can be destroyed for baubles. These baubles are not required for the achievement but if you feel like having some extra baubles, they are there.
11. There is a green bauble just before checkpoint 4.
Checkpoint 4 to 5
12. Past checkpoint 4 is a series of 3 baubles that you will get when you jump over the gap.
13. Don’t forget secret room 6 which is also in the area right by a corner. Inside is a bauble that give you +10 baubles.
That is all the baubles in this zone. Once you defeat the cage guarding the chest, you will get the Associate of Baubles achievement.

About the bee, I just did it without doing the bee and still got the achievement. I figured they only count the baubles that won’t disappear. Baubles from the bees will disappear in about 1 minute.
Slur
I skipped the queen bee as well and received the achievement.
Sing
I tested it, the big bee with her honeycomb does NOT count!

Can’t wait for the guide for Zone 2 & 3. I hope they come asap.

Hmm i have a question does me dying a few times make me unable to get achiev? I’ve done zone 2 shortcut and i think i’ve got pretty much all baubles but i didn’t get neither achievements because i died 3 times at the last hidden door before boss checkpoint.

Does anyone know if you can collect the Baubles in Infantile mode and still unlock the achievement? Or are all achievements save for “Baby Steps” locked unless you’re doing it in normal mode?
Dulfy
You can do it in infantile mode yup
Ares Zax
Sweet! I tried collecting all the Baubles normally but as Risingashes mentions above, Infantile mode can make reaching some areas much easier.
kintai
i just completed the achieve without killing the queen bee and beating up that thing
Risingashes
This should be number 6 within Checkpoint 1 to 2. It’s a +5 on the hill just below the current number 6.
Risingashes
Might want to suggest doing this in infantile mode, as it makes the 2 to 3 checkpoint not rely on making the checkpoint jump as a rainbow spawns very close to the cliffs.
kiwipearls
Do you have to collect them all in one go…or does it remember what you have already accumulated each time you re-enter the SAB?
Dulfy
Not sure, I collected everything in one go.
Naviso
I think you missed one bauble on a little hill between the maze and the queen be dog.
Valor
if you die, does it count ? because i try 2 time (and die once both time)and no achivement for now 😡
Dulfy
if you die and run out of continue coins I think it resets the counter. Not sure
KINGRPG
Why sometime, when i stand near enemies then I hit miss
Nick Serrano
alright ive done this like at least 7 different times and still no achievement, there has to be a missing bauble in this guide
Torpedo
same here D: the baubles listed above are easy to get… but still no achievement
Torpedo
Hey, I finally got the achievement just now. I thought i got all the baubles listed in the guide… but i was actually missing the THIRD blue bauble in the maze part aside the green bauble! And i also got the green bauble on the hill mentioned by Risingashes in the comments.
Dulfy
I am going to bold those parts since people seem to miss on those baubles. Good to know though 🙂
Dulfy
That is all the baubles there is. Did you use whip to open the chest? Heard it give you credit if you do
Nick Serrano
no i followed your guide to a T, and used a key not a whip…idk…weird
Nick Serrano
also just tried with the whip this time just to see if maybe it would work and nothing still
TopoRUS
Just for note: for me it’s not work in infantile mode, tried it about 7-8 times. After did it in normal mode and get the achievement.
Dulfy
Strange, I did it in infantile mode and it worked.
TopoRUS
May be it’s my special bug or may be they fix something in last patch.
TruthBtold
make sure u grabbed all in maze, honey comb not needed bu maze is.
Raziel Cruentus
It seems trying it on an alt fixes this issue. Worked for me and 3 guildmates. We all tried getting the baubles achievement several times, and never got it even though we used this guide. As soon as all 4 of us tried it on our alts, we got the achievement.
May want to add this to your guide =)
