• Make sure you interact with the closed door and read the text on it before talking to Gerrvid or he won’t let you read his books.
• Use torch to shoo off the skelks and grubs which are immune to damage. You will need to escort Gerrvid to the second door and then look for 5 door pieces to open the door to the next area. Once that door opens, you can dump Gerrvid as the kite is in that second area.

Kites of Iron – Find the kite in Pig Iron Quarry in Fireheart Rise – 5 achievement points

---

• Find the large kite hidden in Pig Iron Quarry in Fireheart Rise. You will need to complete Pig Iron Quarry jumping puzzle as the kite is at the very end with the jumping puzzle chest.
• It is advised that you jump to the kite right away to get the achievement and then fight the veteran shaman since he has attacks with knockbacks that can push you off and make you redo the puzzle.

Poor Man’s Kite – Find the kite in Begger’s Burrow in Queensdale – 5 achievement points

---

• Find the large kite hidden in Beggar’s Burrow in Queensdale. Fairly easy kite to get. You can either clear out the bandits or just run through them as the kite is not far from the entrance.

Kite Bombing – Find the Kite in Griffonrook Run in Lornar’s Pass – 5 achievement points

---

• Find the large kite hidden in Griffonrook Run in Lornar’s Pass. The kite is about 70% of the way into the puzzle so you do not need to complete the puzzle. Also, don’t grab the bomb offered by the Norn NPC unless you want to do it on hardcore mode.
• The entrance to the Griffonrook Run jumping puzzle is this little hole in the water. Look carefully or you may miss it.

Colossal Kites – 5 achievement points

---

• Find the large kite hidden in the Cliffside Fractal in the Fractal of the Mists. This kite is NOT near the entrance so it would be very hard to solo it. It is best to get a group and then set difficulty to level 1 and keep zoning into the fractal and then exit it until you get Cliffside fractal.
• You will need to defeat the first boss and then grab the hammer he drops. Grab the hammer and head to the first seal. You will need to kill a cultist to activate the #4 skill which allow you to hit the seal.
• Once you get past the seal, run up the windy stair/platforms (use stability if you need it) and then you should see the kite at top of the platform (image submitted by Nijjion on reddit)

World vs. Kite – 5 achievement points

---

• Find the large kite hidden in Obsidian Sanctum (World vs World). Unlike last time, the kite is not at the very end of the puzzle but rather about 90% of the way in (it is on top of the large dome with caged animals below). You will need to complete majority of the Obsidian Sanctum jumping puzzle nonetheless.
• Remember that there are 3 entrances to Obsidian Sanctum, depending on which keep your World control.
