Celestial Investigator achievement - Craglorn
This achievement is given to players who complete Lower Craglorn's main story line.
Fulfilling this achievement can be frustrating because of the strict restrictions Zenimax has imposed in order to do the last part of Lower Craglorn's main story, "Thwart the Serpent's Plan to Undo the Star-Gazers." I am making this thread in an effort to help group together people like me who have tried to find groups but have them fall apart because people do not meet the requirements.
The final part of the achievement is tied with the "Missing Guardian" quest. The quest CANNOT be shared. The ONLY way a player is eligible to receive this quest is that they must have completed the first four questlines of the "Celestial Investigator" achievement (you can look in your journal to see what you have done - look under "quests" and then "Craglorn.") Also, you are not automatically given the quest. Once you have done the first four questlines, you need to visit the Observatory in Belkarth and talk to a female orc on the first floor. She will direct you to speak with Hara on the second floor and from there you eventually get the quest.
But to even begin to actually do the quest, you must find four players who are on THE EXACT SAME POINT AS YOU. This means friends and well-intentioned people cannot help you if: 1) they have not completed the first four parts of Celestial Investigator or 2) they have already completed the quest. These are by far the main sticking points which frustrate people who like questing, are completionists, or just don't like having unfinished stuff in their journals. I am glad Zenimax is beginning to remove these unnecessary restrictions and obstacles to Craglorn questing, but the fact remains as of right now, this is the only way to complete this quest and finish the Lower Craglorn main story.
I hope this thread will help eliminate much of the confusion to people, like I was just a few weeks ago, who were unaware of these obstacles to Craglorn questing. More than that, I would like this thread to serve as a place for would-be "Missing Guardian" questers to find each other until Zenimax provides the in-game tools to do so. I did get lucky and finish this quest on an alt. I can say that unlike the previous 4 parts of the story, this quest is short - it's a single delve with a relatively easy boss and you are done. So although the quest can be frustrating to begin, it is actually easy to finish.
The character I need to finish this quest is on the Ebonheart Pact alliance. If you are on the same stage as me and also want to finish this quest, look for a "LFG missing guardian - last part of Celestial Investigator achievement" 8:00 PM EST on Wednesday, October 15. I'll also try on 8:00 PM EST on Thursday, October 16.
If you play for a different alliance or just want to coordinate other times, by all means use this thread to do so. I made this thread to help folks who are in the same position as myself.
