Associates of Riggs spawn locations

As is written in the guide description you need to kill 5 Associates of Riggs for the achievement "Bargain Help" which is an achievement for the Forgotten Gods DLC. Furthermore you need to kill these 5 Associates in one session i.e. without exiting the game or to the main menu






The Associates of Riggs have 22 possible spawn locations throughout the Forgotten Gods DLC. From my own experience while looking for these spawn locations they will spawn in 3-5 places per session, each place with 1-4 Associates (3 seems to be the most common)

I've chosen to list the locations in the order you'd encounter them (more or less) if you where to run from the Conclave of the Three all the way to the Tomb of the Eldritch Sun. Of course you are free to check them in whichever order you desire.

As you'll notice the Associates have quite a long aggro-range and will most likely notice you and start running towards you before you see them.

Riggs is located in the Conclave of the Three, close to the Dreeg faction vendor. Before he will send his "associates" to kill you need to complete at minimum 2 of his 3 quests:

• Now You Owe Me: unlocks after completing Loyalty to the Three story mission. Simply talk to Riggs and recieve an item
  
  
• Deeper in Debt: unlocks after completing The Fallen God which is the final mission of the DLC. Simply talk to Riggs and recieve yet another item

Completing these two will unlock his final mission Paying Debts. Now you have two options in regards to the achievement.

• A: talk to Riggs but refuse to help him. This will cause the Associates to spawn until you have completed the Paying Debts quest which can be accepted by talking to Riggs again
  
  
• B: complete the Paying Debts quest which is to collect the three seals needed to unlock the Tomb of the Heretic dungeon and killing its final boss Morgoneth after which you'll be able to loot an item Riggs wants from a nearby chest. After this you can through talking to Riggs toggle the Associate spawn on and off as you like

As for the Associates they are humans dressed akin to mercenaries/assassins. They are marked as heroic monsters with stars but are significantly tougher than regular heroic monsters.

From the Korvan Plateu rift, the spawn is just before entering into the Temple City of Osyr area

The spawn is roughly half-way between the Korvan Plateau and Temple of Osyr rifts, just a short way from spawn location 1

The spawn is just before the bridge that leads towards the next section of Korvan Plateu

The spawn is just north of the entrance from the Temple City of Osyr

The spawn is shortly after the Korvan Sands rift, north-east of the rift

The spawn is to the north-west from the Cairan docks rift, roughly half-way to the Sandblown Ruins entrance

The spawn is on the second floor of the Sandblown Ruins, shortly after entering from floor 1 close to the shrine

The spawn is to the west of the Cairan docks rift, roughly half-way between the rift and the Sanctuary of Horran entrance

The spawn is located on the first platform after entering from the Sunbane Oasis

Note: there is a chance they'll aggro as soon as you've entered the area so beware...

The spawn is to the north-east from the Sunbane Oasis rift, shortly before the entrance to the Howling Chasm

The spawn is south-east from the Ruins of Abyd rift, just outside the entrance to the Temple of Ateph

The spawn is just after entering from the Ruins of Abyd

The spawn is located a short distance to the north-west from the Ruins of Abyd rift

The spawn is located in the south-west part of the Valley of the Chosen, shortly before entering the Infernal Wastes. Closest rifts are the Infernal Wastes and Korvan City ones, running from Korvan City will take you past spawns 15, 16 & 17 as well.

The spawn is located to the south from the Korvan City rift, just outside the entrance to the Tomb of Nephos. Kaisan also has a chance to spawn in the same area, a short bit further to the south.

The spawn is on the center platform, together with The Dusk Reaper if you've done the quest relating to it.

The spawn is located in the middle of the dungeon, below the seal which is part of the Dreeg Cult side quest The Future is Madness. Kaisan also has a chance to spawn in the same area.

The spawn is located a short distance to the north-east from the Korvan City rift. Again, Kaisan also has a chance of spawning in the same area.

The spawn is located in the northern part of the Remnants of Korvan City, just south of the shrine.

The spawn is just before the place you met Uroboruuk and Dravis as part of the storyline quest, shortly before the entrance to the Tomb of the Eldritch Sun.

The spawn is on the first floor, a short distance to the east from the Tomb of the Eldritch Sun rift

The spawn is located on floor 2, in the same area as the shrine shortly before the entrance to the Father Kymon fight

I've included in the guide the kind of information I was looking for when I set out to do this achievement so hopefully this can be of help to you guys. If you have any comments regarding the content please let me know in the comments.

Please note that the pictures are taken in ultimate difficulty and therefore the location of some shrines might differ if you are playing on normal or elite, the spawn locations should still be the same

Happy hunting!
