How to unlock the Hero Of Ostia achievement in Dauntless - Definitive Guide

Heroic Escalation changes every week, so you can't just choose which element you're best at. You also need to reach Level 20 in the respective talent tree before it is available to play. Really though, you want to take that talent tree all the way to Level 25 for the boost in attack and defense, as well as the upgrades you get for it.

You will also want to Power Surge all of your gear to get the most out of it you can. I had no luck finding a party to play with (that was, erm, any good...) so I made this build and ran it solo. Took me 42 mins to complete the Escalation, this is by far not the most optimal way to do it, but it worked for me.

On the off chance the link no longer works, the build is primarily:

The Weeping Hours (Chronovore Chainblades) - to get these you will need to farm the Chronovore for quite some time, focusing on breaking those fins. I chose the Valomyr bond for a little extra damage. Hurricane Blades Mod and Reaper's Dance.
Cells: Pulse +3, Aegis +3, Aetherhunter +3

While this is better for an Umbral Escalation (which was the one I completed it on), I believe this would be ideal for any Escalation simply due to the Legendary effect of the Chronovore allowing you to self-revive without using a syringe. Any Chronovore weapon has the same effect so don't feel you have to use Chainblades if you're not used to them.

Lantern: Skarn's Defiance, for the shield mostly.
Cell: Cascade +3 for the extra health and damage.

Helm: Agaric Canopy. You'll have to farm Terra 10-50 Escalations a bit for this but its worth it, and the final boss is pretty easy.
Cells: Parasite +3, Parasite +3. More health regeneration.

Body: Gnasher Cloak. Nice and easy to get.
Cells: Tough +3, Tough +3. More health, more healing received.

Gauntlets: Chronogrips. These are a lot easier to get from Chronovore than the weapon.
Cells: Pulse +3, Aegis +3. The shield bonus and minor invulnerability from Aegis is a godsend.

Boots: Volcanic Treads (Charrogg). Another easy one to get.
Cells: Tenacious +3, Tenacious +3. With all the health regen and shields your health should often be close to maximum giving the maximum damage boost with Tough.

Tonics: Bulwark, Blitz and Frenzy. I used these mostly on the final boss.

There will certainly be an element of luck involved as some behemoths are harder than others, especially when you have pairs.

Fun fact, even if you don't hit the final behemoth (round 5) due to taking too long and escalation level not being high enough, the achievement will pop after round 4 anyway since it's technically a completion. This also makes it possible to simply cheese out of the final behemoth by not being fast.

I was worried after only hitting Esc level 79 after round 4, but the cheevo popped anyways. However you will not receive the in-game rewards.

You must be at least level 18 with at least level 20 in the given Escalation. The Heroic Escalation rotates through the elements so having all Escalations at 20 (higher is better for the perks) is recommended to ensure you can do the element of the week.

Heroic Escalation goes from 50-90 and I suggest being prepared for some mean Behemoths.

Heroic Escalations are available to anyone who has reached Level 20 in an escalation playlist. Unfortunately, these are on a rotation, so if you have focused on Shock or Blaze and leveled those up, but the currently available Heroic is Frost, you won't be able to attempt this achievement for that week and will need to either work on leveling up that escalation or wait for one of the ones you are 20+ in to come back around. Once you are able to participate, aside from the increased difficulty, the method to completing these escalations remains the same. However, the difficulty increase in fairly intense. Most attacks will one-shot you unless you have the best possible gear, so you should really work on knowing when to dodge through attacks or move away from the enemies. Hopefully you'll get lucky and either matchmake with someone who has reforged their weapons many times, or use the Dauntless Discord to try and find a group to carry you.

Quite a tedious trophy. A team of skilled players is needed.
So, Heroic Ascension changes every week for different elements. To participate in it you need level 20 of the same ascension , lvl 18 of weapons .
There is one nuance that makes life easier - the main thing is to defeat 4 waves with monsters, you don’t need to kill the final boss of the location!
