A guide to locating all 19 chests for the Thorough Sampling Achievement.
Achievement
You get 7 AP and 3x Frozen Exotic Weapon Fragments for completing this achievement.
Cold Resistance
You will need Cold Resistance buff for chest #15 to #19. Incase you forgot how to get that buff, you will need 10 Winterberries, 8 Frostbitten Suet, 3 Eggshells, and 1 Grawl Firestone. Grawl Firestone can be purchased from the grawl heart vendor after completing the heart. Once you have all the items, combine them in that hot spring location. This buff will last until the daily reset.
