Note: The list of badges here is not complete. Keep your eye out for others. Before opening the very last chest, scroll down to read up on the diving achievement. If you return with the dowsing rod you will lose all your progress stacks and will have to redo the entire puzzle to get to the goggles again, unless you have mounts unlocked.
- First milestone
Starting from Drydock Grotto Waypoint, walk across the rope bridge and wooden ramps to get on top of SS Topsy-Turvy. Follow the keel left (toward the ship's stern), then jump to the cliffside and follow it right and up. A skrit kit will point out the first milestone to you.
Badge: There is a Golden Lost Badge on the left wall on a small ledge right before the first milestone. If you have gliding, you can climb up a large boulder between the 1st and 2nd milestone to glide back towards the start of the puzzle, sticking to the wall on your right and you can reach it quite easily.
- Second milestone
Run up the stone on the right and left across the wooden beam, turning right to go between the rocks. Keep going forward and curve right through a brief tunnel, then go straight ahead to the Velocity Elixir. There, turn left, rounding the sloped rock that splits the path, and after emerging between two other rocks, get on the ledge that starts low on the left wall. Take the ledge nearly to its end, then face right and jump across to a large rock near the right-hand wall. You'll see the flag for the second milestone above you.
Badge: There is a Golden Lost Badge on the ledge angled up the left side of the cavern before the jump.
- Third milestone
From the second milestone, jump down and curve left, along the right-hand wall. Run across the rock bridge and jump to the ledge by the left wall once again. Hop down to the Velocity Elixir. (If you fall on the wrong side before getting to the Elixir, backtrack and climb the ledge mentioned under the second milestone.) From the Elixir, go forward up some rocky steps into a large cavern and head for the next Elixir before you along the left wall. Standing there, ahead and to your right you'll see a rocky ledge sloping up. Run and jump up the rocks, but before you quite get to the top (or from the top), take the switchback on your right. Then switch again left, up along another spike of rock. At the top of that, you'll need to jump to and over the rocks on your left and jump again to the ledge on the wall. Face left and follow the ledge until you get to the surface, which overlooks Red Rock Bastion to the west. (In following the ledge, you'll need to curve sharply left, jump up some piled rocks, and go up another slope on your right.) At the top, run east, then cross the wooden bridge that takes you roughly north. The third milestone flag will appear ahead and to the right after the end of the bridge.
Badge: There is a Golden Lost Badge that you can get before heading up the ramp. It is on a short column left of the 'doorway' in the large cavern ruins on the opposite side of the cavern to the Elixir. There is another Golden Lost Badge on a ledge near the third milestone. Cut back right after the bridge and find the badge hidden below the path on your right hand side. You can get it and head back around to the start of the bridge before carrying on.
- Fourth milestone
From the third milestone, go left, hopping down a short way to a level area. You can ignore the Elixir you see off to your right. Continue west along the level area, and turn right at the rock wall in front of you. Looking over the drop-off, you'll see a spike of rock a bit to your right, and by the left wall, a wide ledge with a Chest. Drop down and open the Chest. Then drop down to the bottom and get the Elixir (its swiftness helps here) before jumping across the stone archways--and the rock on the right wall along the way--passing the next Elixir on your left. If you fall, just head back to the Elixir at the start of the archways and try again. On the last archway, turn left and jump to the ledge, then jump to the Elixir on solid ground. The fourth milestone is above your head.
- Fifth milestone
Run across the cavern, up the slope. At the wall, take a right, and still curving right, follow the ledge on your left to the surface. From the Elixir on top, head southwest, and jump down and across the chasm toward the next Elixir. Go left around that Elixir, and curving to the right, jump down to the lower area, and down again into the hole to the right (north). Follow the right wall. Ahead of you, above a lower ledge, you'll see the fifth milestone flag.
Badge: There is a Golden Lost Badge going up--right around step 5e. There is another Golden Lost Badge before jumping into the hole, further in on the platform.
- Sixth milestone
Drop down near the flag and follow the right-hand wall to get down to the Elixir. Turn 180 degrees, walk under the rock you jumped from, and continue along the ledge with the wall on your left. Where the ledge ends, stand in the divot on your right near the edge and look down at the niche in the wall; jump carefully down there to the Grand Chest. Drop down from the niche to the wooden platform. Facing out from the wall, jump to the ledge to the right, then jump the other direction down to the Elixir on the ledge directly below the wooden platform. Keep the wall on your right as you follow the ledge and more wooden platforms until you drop down to another Elixir (drop--don't jump lest you fall past it). Put your back to the drop-off, and you'll see the sixth milestone under the wall, which is now your ceiling; the flag pops up as you run under it.
Badge: Just after the 5th milestone, on the rock before you drop to the first elixer. Follow the wall NE. Go as far as you can and then glide to the wooden platform NE.
Badge: To get a Golden Lost Badge, fall from the initial wooden platform under the chest, past the Elixir to the ground. After a kit revives you, go right, and you'll find the badge near the right-hand wall on a little ledge just before a long drop-off. From there, you can either drop down to the Sand Dune Cavers for the PoI or go back along the ledge until you can jump up and get to the skritt's tunnel and back to the puzzle.
Sand Dune Caverns: To get to this PoI, drop past the sixth milestone. A kit will pop up out of the ground to revive you if you die. When you're done, find and use the skritt tunnel to get back on track.
- Seventh milestone
Past the sixth milestone, there's a rock in the way. Carefully walk to the right around it, continue forward keeping to the left, and as you pass the other big rock, curve right. Follow the rocky bridge, jump (with Swiftness, ideally) across the gap to the Elixir. The seventh milestone pops up above you.
- Eighth milestone
Jump on the rocks at the left side of the Elixir and take that higher ledge to the right (hugging the wall on your left) to get to the Splendid Chest at the end of the ledge. Go down the "steps" to your right, and jump down near the wall. At the bottom, you'll see the eighth milestone pop up above you.
- Getting to Quarrel Gully
Put your back to the eighth milestone, and you'll see an Elixir below. Use swiftness to jump to it, or follow the wall and jump down. Continue forward (a higher ledge and the wall on your right). Where the flat ledge narrows and meets a sloped ledge, carefully jump to it, or use a leap skill to get across. Use the small rocks to get to the higher level, and follow the wall past the falling sand to the next Elixir. Walk forward and follow yet another narrow ledge (wall still on your right). Where the ledge ends, drop down, hugging the wall, to another ledge, making sure not to drop to the dunes next to you. Continue the same direction along the sandy ledges until you see more falling sand. Go through it and jump onto the pinnacle of rock with an unmarked skritt tunnel. (Be sure to not use the skritt tunnel by Kit.)
- Ninth milestone (Quarrel Gully)
In Quarrel Gully, your task is to navigate a maze of skritt tunnels to get to the very top. When you enter a wrong tunnel, you'll appear on top of a cauldron and you'll have to start over. (The starting skritt tunnel is one drop away from the cauldron.).This entire section can be skipped with the Springer mount by jumping up the ledges to the highest point. The chest is on the south end of Quarrel Gulley, almost into the Tangled Labyrinth map area. Be warned if you use the Springer mount you may have to backtrack a little to activate the ninth milestone, to get the achievement, and the chest.
- After entering the first tunnel, jump across the wooden platforms, jump to a rock ledge, then drop down. Go through the narrow passage NNE, and before the drop-off, turn left and enter the tunnel there.
- Run left up the wood, around the decorative rotating device, and hop across the platforms, passing the tunnel along the way. The platforms give way to a ledge. Drop down at the end of it and enter the tunnel there.
- Follow the ledge and platforms, entering the first tunnel just before the beams coming from the wall.
- Run up the ledge in the wall and up two planks. The path then has a switchback, so turn around and continue up wall. The ledge widens; enter the tunnel in the corner at the end.
- Go across the wooden stairs, jump with swiftness to the platform, jump again to the rocky corner, and enter the tunnel there.
- Follow the ledge (with the wall on your left) up the plank and continue until it ends. Below you, you'll see a tunnel on a wider ledge. Jump down there, but don't use it. Drop down to the next ledge instead and enter the tunnel in the dark corner.
- Go along the rock ledge, and use the tunnel at the end of the wooden platform.
- You'll appear in a dark cave. From this point on, using incorrect tunnels won't move you to the very beginning of the area but to a Magnificent Chest above the entrance to the previous section, which you may want to open. The correct tunnel is just to the left of you, but to the right of that tunnel and slightly lower is one that will get you to the chest. (From the chest, go to the side of the area away from the chest, drop down to the wooden platform, and continue from 7).
- Go along the ledges, passing all tunnels. Walk up until you get to a tunnel at a dead end, but don't use it. Carefully drop down to a ledge with a cluster of three tunnels instead. Choose the rightmost one.
- With your back to the wall, turn right, pass the tunnel and enter the one below the wooden platform next to it.
- You'll reappear under a velocity elixir. With your back to the wall, follow the ledge to the left. Hop up on the stone to get on the perpendicular ledge that has little chunks of stairs thrown in, continue on another perpendicular ledge till it ends midway, and drop down a bit. Continue in the same direction, and you'll reach the ninth milestone. The flag sticks out of the wall on your left.
Badge: Just before you drop down to the ledge in the first step there is a Golden Lost Badge on the edge of a ledge. With swiftness you can make the jump across. If you miss this jump you can land on the ledge to proceed or drop all the way down and use a skritt tunnel to attempt it again.
Badge: On step 5 after following the stairs and just before jumping to the platform there is a Golden Lost Badge in a little cutout in the wall at the end of the stairs.
Badge: On the last leg after you drop down there is a set of windows with angled window sills. On the second sill is a Golden Lost Badge. To get this badge you must carry on past it and come back along the upper ledge. There is another Golden Lost Badge up the slope before the upper ledge.
- Claiming the final reward
Reaching this point will award you with the Retrospective Runaround achievement. Gather 3 key fragments from the nearby rubble piles to open the Magnificent chest, which will start the Defeat the legendary skritt burglar to claim your reward (80) event (the skritt is just a normal or veteran rank, not a legendary as the name would suggest).
After completing the event, it turns out the burglar was Kri'chta all long, with a plan to keep working on SS Topsy-Turvy forever. At this point, you can open the final chest, from which you'll get the Dowsing Rod you can bring to Kri'chta back on the ship to watch her inevitably fail with her ritual. Entering the skritt tunnel in the room will get you back to the waypoint.
