Siege Turtle: two seats and a pair of cannons

The End of Dragons turtle carries a passenger and shoots. The hard part is the egg: either beat the toughest meta in the game, or pay 200 Writs of Dragon's End and skip it.

The Siege Turtle sits apart from the rest of the roster. It is slow, ungainly and not about travel at all. Its point is two things: a second seat and cannons.

The passenger rides behind and fires while the driver steers. In the open world that is mostly entertainment, but in some End of Dragons content the turtle becomes a tool.

What you need

The End of Dragons expansion, with the story played to roughly chapter ten.

The hard part is the egg

Nothing starts without a Turtle Egg, and there are two ways to one. They are not equally pleasant.

Route one: the meta “The Battle for the Jade Sea” on Dragon’s End. This is the hardest open-world meta in the game. Success depends less on you than on whether the map has an organised squad, whether people know the mechanics and whether the damage is there. A failure costs you an hour.

Route two: buy it. The Peddler sells the egg for 200 Writs of Dragon’s End. Writs come from activities on the same map and accumulate quietly, with no dependence on anyone else’s organisation.

Advice: do not chase a successful meta if that format is not your thing. 200 Writs pile up in the background over a few visits, and your evening survives. The meta is worth doing for its own sake, but as a mandatory step towards a mount it has been grinding people down for years.

Then the collections

With the egg in hand, go to Arborstone and find an NPC called Rota. That opens Stomping Around and three collections in sequence:

  1. Turtle Unlock: Starting Small
  2. Turtle Unlock: Getting Stronger
  3. Turtle Unlock: Suiting Up

Item trading runs through Fidget, also in Arborstone.

The collections come down to gathering materials and completing tasks on the expansion maps. No time gates, so the only limit is your own schedule.

Who wants one

If you play with someone this is the whole argument. One drives, one shoots, and no other mount does that.

If you run End of Dragons content it belongs there.

If you want to get around look elsewhere. The turtle is slow and climbs badly. Roads belong to the Roller Beetle; height belongs to the Springer and the Skyscale.

So it is not a “move faster” mount but a separate toy for particular situations. Worth collecting once the useful ones are already parked.

The full roster is in the mount table.
