In this article, you will find mainly the information regarding the precursor weapon. Why? because obtaining precursor weapon “the prototype” will demands you to do numerous thing. At least there are 4 tiers of weapon collection achievements. Each of them have more than enough mission and events you should do. So, without further ado, read more for the complete Prototype guide.

==========================================================================

HOPE I: Research

Welcome to the first tier weapon collection achievement for HOPE. Actually, this is where you are going to start looking for information, ideas, and ways to create the precursor weapon “prototype”

There is a story behind this tier. You will be an apprentice under the froglike Hylek who is the best alchemists and the masters of potion and poison. As an apprentice, you will help discovering the secret of their work to create research, the first step of the Hylek Optimize Projectile Experiment (HOPE) Guild Wars 2.
So, in this part you will have to collect 20 items or achievements. Everything should be done in numeric order, as some of the achievements will correlate to each other. That is why, if you haven’t finish one of the achievements or requirement, you won’t be able to continue the process.
That process somehow defied in this HOPE or the Prototype weapon achievement. Some of the items or collection can only be obtained if you finish different one (not in order). This is just as the pre-caution. You will find more information from the complete guide below.
====================================================

Unlocking HOPE 1: Research

All right, are you ready for the first one? Make sure you got the revered Antiquarian mastery. This is part of the four mastery that can be found on the legendary crafting mastery track. So, here is what you should do.

You can see from the picture, that the mastery is needed to be completed beforehand. This is required so you can buy the item from the Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs. Buying the required item will let you unlock and start the Prototype achievement. As you got the item, you can continue to collect the 20 items for creating the prototype achievement.

1. Hylek Alchemy Apprentice Tome

The first item is very easy; you can buy it from Atlalli that can be found in the Hunting Banks on the Timberline Falls. He is a Master Alchemist, so, it is not that hard to find him. For more precise location, he is located outside the north gate of the Hylek Village on the Eztlitl Grounds Waypoint.

Speak to Atlalli and select the “I wish to learn Hylek alchemy” dialog to get the item.
This item is a trophy item that track your progress in the early stage of creating the legendary weapon HOPE. So, it is better to keep the item inside your inventory. You can buy it for 4,998 karma points. After you buy the item, you can continue to the next achievement.

=================================================

2. Hylek Alchemy Chapter 1: Poisons

The hint will be:
“Speak to Atlalli, the Master Alchemist in the Hunting Banks of Timberline Falls to start the Hylek Poison’s Test once you have crafted the Vial of Potent Hylek Poison”
Before you go far, go back and talk to Atlalli. But before you speak to him, make sure you learn how to Craft Vial of Potent Hylek Poison (the third step of the Protoype achievement). If you haven’t learned about it or have the item in your inventory, you can jump to the next step.

After you craft the item, you can speak to Atlalli while the item is in your inventory. Choose the dialog of “I am ready to test my poisons”. After that, double click the Vial of Potent Hylek poison in your inventory. You will use the item and get the Hylek Poison Coating buff.
As you use the vial, you will trigger combat with Atlalli. Attack and defeat him, upon you beating Atlalli, you will be credited with the item in the collection. With the item obtained, you can continue and jump to the step 7.

==================================================

3. Hylek Alchemy Chapter 1: Vial of Potent Hylek Poison

Apparently, the HOPE achievement is a little bit wonky. This item is needed for the previous step. And it also happens to the next achievement (the order is a bit messed up). With that in mind, you can complete the steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 first, then go back to the second one. This is the third step, which need you to get the Vial of Potent Hylek Poison recipe.
You can get the recipe from the Alchemy Supplies at the end of tears of Itlaocol mini-dungeon. Basically, this vial recipe can only be learned after you complete the mini-dungeon Tears of Itlaocol in Caledon forest. Here is the guide of completing the dungeon:
Go to the Falias Thorp waypoint and walk south toward Dengatl Grounds. At that location, pick up one of the boulders that lying around the area, use the skill to throw it toward the gong. This action will trigger opening the gate.

After the door opened, walk inside and follow the path to the north. Keep walking until you reach a room that blocked with a gate. In this room, on the ground you can find 9 pressure plates in a 3×3 pattern. There are also some scattered glowing spheres called Tear of Itlaocol, which can be picked up and dropped on the pressure plates.
A large rock representing a human face is suspended from the ceiling to the right of the gate. If you see it carefully, it has bright dots on each cheek, representing the positions of the figure’s tears.
The wall has four unlit torches, two on either side of the gate, and two further to the right of the suspended figure’s head. All four torches must be lit for the gate to open. If you found the torch has been lit, highly possible someone may have partially complete the puzzle before you reach the area.
There are two possibilities to fix the condition. If you find there is zero or two lit torch, you can continue lit the rest with left patter. In case there is one or three torches lit, then start with the right one. That is the tricks!
But how to solve the puzzle? You should match the dot patterns on the cheeks by placing the Tear of Itlaocols on the corresponding pressure plates, starting with the left cheek pattern. Upon a successful match, the room will rumble and the torch to the left of the gate will light up.
Repeat for the right cheek pattern to light a torch to the right of the gate. After lighting both torches, the patterns will change. Repeat the process for the next two torches and the gate will open.

As you finish the dungeons, you will find the alchemy supplies located next to the cest (at the end of the dungeons). try to interact with it and select the “Rummage Through the supllies” dialog. This action will give you the recipe. The recipe will automatically be learned on your account.
After you learn how to make it, craft one and put it on your inventory. To help you with that, here is what you need to make Vial of Potent Hylek poison.
