''Play a full round lasting at least five minutes as a Gestir''
Play a full round lasting at least five minutes as a Gestir.


'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy


'''How to:''' Self-explanatory. Join a game and play as the Gestir. Remember that it must be a FULL round that lasts at least 5 minutes, and you cannot change class in the middle of the game even if you have played for 5 minutes already.
'''How to:''' Grab the Gestir and go get gory and glory for five minutes straight.

''Kill 15 enemy parrots with the spear''
The pointy end goes into the other man. (Amass 1,000,000 points of damage against your enemies using the spear.) Kill 7 enemies with your spear in a single life.


'''Difficulty:''' Easy
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy, Very Hard


'''How to:''' Self-explanatory. Just attack the pirates actively and make them release their parrots at you. Kills made with javelins do not count.
'''How to:''' Get really good at parrying. You can block uncharged strikes from Heavy Knights and counter with quick jabs before they can recover, or move away. You should still start fights with javelins whenever possible; staying alive lets you poke more people than being defeated, and only poking your vanquisher once for the trouble.

''Impale the bodies of 5 enemies to a wall using your javelins''
Capture 100 chests as a Gestir.


'''Difficulty:''' Intermediate
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy
 
'''How to:''' Easiest way to get this achievement is, of course, to aim for the people close to walls. You would also want to fully charge
your javelins, so they're more likely to kill your target. However, this achievement may take some time as opportunities are rare.


'''How to:''' The other Vikings are better suited to seizing enemy chests for one reason or another (not you Bondi) while you're better at launching javelins to charge a special, picking the chest up when your teammate drops it to fight pursuers, and running the Niflheim away. On the other Booty maps, capturing neutral chests is more your style.

''Kill an enemy with the javelin from 80ft''
Kill an enemy with the javelin from 80ft.


'''Difficulty:''' Intermediate
'''Difficulty:''' Intermediate


'''How to:''' Since the javelin does impressive damage, it usually kills any target that is hurt from 80 ft. In bt_island, 80 ft is about from the Pirate booty area to the entrance of the cave where vikings come in. Of course, while in combat you can't measure it very accurately, so my suggestion is that if you see a crowded battle, take some steps back until you think it is like 90 ft away, start to charge the javelin by walking forward, and throw it at the battle when it's fully charged (remember the arc of the javelin).
'''How to:''' These things deal insane damage, you'd be crazy not to at least try to start (almost) every fight with one, which naturally inclines one towards throwing them absurd distances anyway. The only caveat for this achievement is that you would want to arrive late to a fight to throw a javelin at somebody who could probably be finished off by your other, less ammo-limited weapons.
Another good map is pvk_300_BoT_beta3. Charge up your javelin while running and then throw it into the knight's territory. With a little luck you'll get a kill.
 
You might try Cara, as people tend to forget their surroundings when contesting the territories, which can sometimes be seen from a considerable distance. The Last Team Standing maps are large enough, if you can survive long enough to be one of the few players left, and happen to be on the other side of the map to everybody else, and still have a spare javelin.
Pinegrove's a good choice, too. Stick to the back of the map (with the high bridge) where there's fewer trees.

Other tactic : Find an AFK person in an open area where you can get more than 80 ft away from him, make him bleeding profusely or about to be pushing daisies, and go finish him with the javelin. Of course this is for the unskilled people.
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy


'''How to:''' The seax deals pretty decent damage, if you combine it with absorbing an enemy attack on the shield. An uncharged bash may not stun, but it ''will'' re-engage the shield's defensive potential, allowing you to tank the incoming hit and counter while they recover. Mind you keep the shield's durability up.

''Kill 3 enemies with a single spear dash special''
Kill 3 enemies with a single spear dash special.


'''Difficulty:''' Very Hard
'''Difficulty:''' Very Hard


'''How to:''' This is the rarest special-related achievement there is. When you have your special meter filled, look for a crowded battle. Observe the battle, and launch your special near them. Aim for the people with low HP, archers and skirmishers work the best. It needs skill to manuever through the enemies, since it is hard to turn around if you missed one; it's easier when they are in line. Also, don't start your special too early and watch out for walls (Hitting a wall stops the special right away).
'''How to:''' The simple fact that this achievement requires three kills makes it an order of magnitude less likely that you will unlock this achievement at any given time. Your best bet is charging into a fight that another Viking already charged into, but didn't kill anybody in. At least enemies are less likely to be knocked clear of the spear as it skewers them, compared to the Huscarl's special.
A good map for this is bt_massacre_v4. Get your special, wait for the mob of knights to come and then charge into their midst. If your team has already weakened the knights then you're almost sure to get the achievement.

''The pointy end goes into the other man''
As a Gestir, kill a single enemy by using all of your weapons on them.


'''Difficulty:''' Very Hard
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy
 
'''How to:''' After "Ranged Whore", this is the rarest achievement in game. It doesn't say so directly on the description, but you'll get it by amassing one million (1,000,000) damage
against your enemies with the spear (javelin damage doesn't count.) It is the rarest of all 1M damage achievements probably because the Spear is the weakest weapon you'll
have to do 1M dmg with.


This achievement isn't that hard, since it just comes with time. The only real strategy to get it is to play a lot with the Gestir and use his spear a lot.
'''How to:''' Using a javelin on an opponent is just playing Gestir normally. Switch from your preferred melee weapon to your less-preferred melee weapon to deal the killing blow.
To make this achievement more interesting, try killing an enemy with a shield bash, after previously bashing them at least nine times.
