How to unlock the Heroic Hoarder achievement in EARTHLOCK - Definitive Guide
Update: As it has been confirmed by several people in the comments, you can make this run with Gnart with the help of speed flower/seeds. I just found PAT to be the easiest method of completing this.
After reaching Plumpet Island for the first time, you'll be given four side-quests by Frogboy. You'll need to find and defeat four specific enemies throughout the game and return them to the island. Their locations are marked on the maps below:
- Shockle - Northwest (NW of Zabirum Temple)
- Burnacle - Desert (S of Solar Array)
- Galeacle - Plains (E of Suvia)
- Icicle - Nadir (W of Anvirum Cavern)
The fights tend to be tough, so try to wait until 2-3 levels above when you first arrive in these locations before taking them on, and be sure to equip talents that will guard against their specific element, as well as elemental protection in general, as they all do AOE spells. You can even just wait until you're Level 20 with everyone and then crush them that way if you'd like.
On top of those four quests, two new barnacles have been added to this version of the game. The Toxicle you get from a scrap pile near the Tremel Tree, while the second will be given from a side-quest at the Forest Glade. Herb will ask you to deliver fishing bait to a man in Suvia. However, the bait will spoil if you take too long. From the glade, run back to the Scrollroads and use the teleport to Plumpet, then teleport to Suvia, and finally run to the docks all the way to the right. He will give you the Nauticle barnacle as a reward.
Once the last barnacle is let loose on the beach at Plumpet, the achievement will unlock.
