River of Souls

According to the myths of Amphoreus, a certain hero of Castrum Kremnos was dipped upside down into the River of Souls at birth by his mother, believing its waters would grant him invulnerability.

However, because the mother held him by his ankle, that spot remained untouched by the river, leaving a single weak point.

Is this river truly as miraculous as the legends say? There's only one way to find out — experimentation. After all, truth is tested through practice, and here, no miracle of Oronyx will protect you. You decide to —

Wait a second... who says the experiment has to be on yourself?

Scoop up a whole bucket and bring it back to the baths for everyone to try!

Unfortunately, the River of Souls isn't actual water. It's a phenomenon, something you cannot take with you.

But you could try rallying your bath-loving friends to come here and test it out with you.

See how I shove Black Tide Creatures into the River of Souls.

Those monsters are seriously unlucky — scaring themselves all day long, only to end up getting scared by you instead.

Plop —

"Tell me, did you drop this golden monster, or this silver one?"

I didn't drop any monsters.

"Oh, my apologies. Seems I came at the wrong time."

I dropped the golden monster.

"Dishonest child. If only I could punish you..."

I dropped a regular monster.

"What an honest child. If I had a monster to give, I would offer it to you."

I didn't see anything. You're just making this up, aren't you?

Wow, way to kill the immersion.

Anyways, the River of Souls doesn't really do much to those monsters. And let's be real — this water runs deep.

Might as well poke it with the bat and see what happens?

Congrats! You've obtained the Undying Bat! Its weak point is wherever you're holding it.

Welp, that about covers all the experiments.

Or... I could try it myself.

For the sake of keeping most of your body intact and avoiding "a whoops," full submersion situation — you decide to start with just your feet.

People always said I had no knees and can't jump. Now, worst case? I have no ankles. Physically speaking, of course.

Dip, then immediate retreat!

It's just like sending a message — if you don't leave it in too long, you can still unsend it.

Shove your limb in! No hesitation!

If there were fish in this river, this might actually count as fishing.

Someone or something must be looking out for you. You emerge completely unharmed.

Maybe... just maybe... you now have an invincible ankle. The legendary (Trailblazer)'s Heel!

Next time you're in battle, make sure to tell your enemies to aim for the ankles.

This is definitely not the place to linger. Look around — there aren't even any Holy City Guards nearby. If you fall in, who's pulling you out?

Perhaps time to get out of here.

Trivia

This achievement references the Greek mythological hero Achilles, who was often portrayed as invulnerable except for one heel. The name references the tendon named after him.
