So, when I was online last night I happened to get a few of these achievements done. The spider queen was up, a group ran up and I joined in the killing. And then a little while after that the Worm Queen was up and I joined to kill that too. When I got there people were asking people to quit trying to kill it so fast as they were trying to get an achievement done. I wasn't sure what the achievement was, so I wasn't entirely sure how to participate. It just looked like a bunch of people jumping up and down next to the worm.
From what I saw last night, and what I've been reading about online… there tend to be groups running a train around these events. Watch the map chat, and join the chain to help knock out these achievements. It'll make it a lot easier.
So, I did a little research and here's the deal with those achievements.
This map shows the spawn locations for the Spider Queen and the Worm Queen
Aftermath Arachnicide/Aftermath Cobweb Cleaner
You have to kill the Spider Queen once to unlock the achievement Aftermath Cobweb Cleaner. You have to kill 5 cocoons. Players will randomly get turned into cocoons during the fight but each cocoon has very little health so they will get destroyed quickly and you may not get the kill credit.
Slow DPS on the Spider Queen, the faster you kill her, the less cocoon she will throw out and the less chance for you to get the achievement.
Once you have done sufficient damage to her to get the kill credit, stop attacking her and just look for cocoons. (See below)
Aftermath Vermicide/Aftermath Shock Wave Jumper
You will need to kill the Toxic Wurm Queen once to unlock the Aftermath Shockwave Jumper achievement. You need to jump over 5 shockwaves, which is harder than it sounds since the shockwaves are very narrow cones. The best way to get this is to have everyone stack on top of the Wurm Queen and jump whenever you see she putting her head down to do a shockwave. This increases your chance of getting hit by the shockwave since it is a more of a cone.
Which is why, if you're paying attention to map chat… they'll be asking people to stack. So that the shockwaves are all coming in the same place and you have the best chance to get the achievement for the most people.
Aftermath Toxic Counteragent/Aftermath Detoxifier
You will need to kill the Toxic Alchemist once to unlock the Aftermath Detoxifier achievement, which requires you to kill 5 Toxifiers. Toxic Alchemist has the longest spawn time and is located on top of the hill marked on the map. He has two forms – a veteran form and a champion form. During his veteran form he will become immune to damage and spawn 2-3 Toxifiers near him. This is your chance to get the achievement for Aftermath Detoxifier. If you manage to get lucky on the kill credit, you should only need to kill the Alchemist twice to complete these achievements.
Aftermath Treasure Hunter
You have to open the Tricolor chest 5 times. If you have any Tricolor keys saved up, this is a good time to use them. Otherwise you can buy one them Majory’s Helper Dee for 30 Pristine Toxic Spore samples and 45 silver once per day.
Aftermath Viathan Cleaner
Complete 10 events in and around Viathan Lake in Kessex Hills – you should get this automatically when you do the Spider Queen/Wurn Queen/Alchemist events.
Important to note for the events with the Spider Queen, Worm Queen and Alchemist… you need to kill them each once before their secondary achievements will be available to get. Otherwise, for example, you'll just look silly jumping around by the worm for no reason (as I may or may not have been doing last night before I knew what was going on).
