How To Start The “How I Learned To Stop Worrying” Achievement Quest
Players can start the hidden questline by going to Central Starskiff Haven. If they use the northwest Space Anchor, they should face left upon spawning and head down. They must run until they reach the end of the street in front of a circular shopfront.
To start the quest, players must interact with the Courier Package on the left side of the shopfront. Players discover whythe achievement referencesthe movieDr. Strangelove, as they receive the quest item Mini-Neutron Bomb.
There will be no prompts to do so, but players must head for the Alchemy Commission to trigger the next phase of the mini-quest.

Jing Yuan will give his hunch on the origin of the bomb. He will also instruct the Trailblazer to seek Qingzu, a Vidyadhara who works as the Chief Counselor for the Divine Foresight. To find her, Trailblazers should head for the Seat of Divine Foresight.
OPTIONAL: Throw The Bomb Into The Holy Sea
After texting Jing Yuan, players have a choice. They can head for Qingzu, or throw the Neutron Bomb into her people’s sacred waters. If the latter’s a more appealing option, players only have to stand in front of the broken fence to the right of the Navigational Compass.

Players are then informed that the Lunarescent Depths can theoretically disarm the Mini Neutron Bomb. With prompting, they can throw the bomb into the ancient sea at the cost of six, later three,Praise of High Morals. Should they want to back out, Trailblazers only have to answer in the negative for any of the five to six prompts the game gives to back out.
Qingzu will still reward the Trailblazer for destroying the package, although players have a prompt implying this was a trifling issue.
Surrender The Bomb To The Seat Of Divine Foresight
Trailblazers who want to dispose of the bomb via committee shouldhead for Exalting Sanctum. The northernmost Space Anchor is the closest to Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan’s office. At the Synwood Pavillion spawn point, players should walk forward then turn right down the stairs, head straight, and then turn right again until they reach Chiyan the messenger.
Chiyan will lead the players to the Seat of Divine Foresight. Once there, they should go straight until they reach Jing Yuan’s desk. Trailblazers should talk to Qingzu beside the desk to hand the suspicious package over and unlock the last part of the quest line.
Unlock The Hidden Achievement “How I Learned To Stop Worrying”
After the screen blacks out and the package explodes, players will find themselves transported out of the Seat of Divine Foresight. In the cutscene, they come to at the Healer’s Market in the Alchemy Commission. Qingzu appeared to have transferred the Trailblazer to Bailu’s care following the explosion.
Bailu informs the Trailblazer that the bomb was actually a prank scare box. She then gives them a message inside the box where the bomb was contained. The note and the bomb apparently came from Sampo Koski, Belobog’s notorious mercenary and smuggler.
Trailblazers unlock the hidden achievement"How I Learned to Stop Worrying"after chatting with Bailu. However, it’s not made clear if Jing Yuan is in on the joke, or how much Qingzu knew about the prank bomb.
It also raises more questions about the affably evil mercenary. Sampo previously broke the fourth wall at the end of the Belobog storyline. Because he was seen speaking to a screen before turning to the Trailblazer, people suspect he could be theStellaron Hunter Sam. Others think hemight be Dr. Primitivebecause of his snow-walking style, while some theorize Sampo is a member of the Aeon Aha’s Masked Fools.
