Upon entering the instance, you'll find yourself cruising along in Sayida's airship towards the Xunlai Jade Junkyard. After some dialogue, one group of Aetherblades will appear on the deck. Kill them. A short time later, a second group of Aetherblades with an Elite Aetherblade Taskmaster will also appear. This time Ayumi's scouts eliminate all except the elite. After killing the elite, the airship arrives at the edge of the junkyard. Jump out (gliding is now enabled). Proceed to Ankka's airship. Optionally take a detour to gain some high ground, then glide down onto Ankka's airship deck for the hidden achievement Boarding Party. Do note however that this achievement can result in the possible death of the character due to fall damage as Ankka shoots you out of the sky, which will disqualify you from earning [[#Unruffled|Unruffled]]. When you reach Ankka, she will turn aggressive and the fight begins. Her skills are listed below. "Enbalming Barrage" - looks like grenades, inflicts "Enbalming Shot" "Hallucinating Shot" "Death's Hand" - inflicts Occasionally summons a Hallucination which uses "Terrifying Apparition" & "Wall of Fear" In terms of skills to avoid, Hallucinations will quickly overwhelm the player if allowed to get too close. You will be constantly poisoned during the fight due to Enbalming Barrage. Ranged condition damage builds seem to work well versus Ankka. Ankka will retreat at 75% and 40%. At 0% the fight phase will complete. Activating the Aurene Empowerment buff will disqualify you from earning the following achievements. Completing the fight without being downed will award the achievement Unruffled. Completing the fight in less than 7 minutes will award the achievement Quiet Death. As directed by Marjory, follow Ankka down into the tunnel on the north side of the arena. Listen to the dialogue and then check in with Gorrik. The Extractor unfortunately explodes during the ensuing dialogue. Interacting with the Audio Log in the furthest northwest corner will award the achievement Things Were Different Back Then. Interacting with the extractor part east of your allies will trigger the final dialogue and complete the story. Completing for the first time awards the achievement Empty.
