Marvel Rivals has quite a lot of freebies up for grabs, many of which are tied to completing achievements. Most of these tasks can be a bit tricky to figure out, though, as is the case with the Emergence of Greatness achievement.
Generally, getting any one of these quests done is fairly straightforward once you understand what needs to be done and where to go for it. The tricky part is figuring out all the requirements, as these missions tend to only give you a vague hint to work with. If you’re stumped by this one, here’s how to get the Emergence of Greatness achievement in Marvel Rivals.

How to complete Emergence of Greatness in Marvel Rivals

To get the Emergence of Greatness achievement, you need to hear one piece of advice from Shou-Lao while on the K’un-Lun: Shenloong Arena map. There are a few key requirements you must meet to make this happen, which means you may have a bit of a tough time checking this one off. Here’s a full breakdown of how to get it done.
- Load into an 18v18 Bounty Match. The K’un-Lun: Shenloong Arena map is exclusive to this mode, so start by ensuring you select it. You’ll never venture to this location in a regular Quick Match or Competitive, so choosing the right mode is essential if you want to get it done.
- Find Shou-Lao. This massive dragon can be found looming over one half of the map. Head outside and over to the edge area near Capture Point A to find him. Make sure you can see Shou-Lao to have the best chance of triggering some advice from him.
- Wait and listen. The next part of this task is mostly out of your hands. Hang out near Shou-Lao and wait for him to offer wisdom. It might happen right away, or it may instead take a couple of minutes. As soon as you hear any wisdom from him, though, you’re good to go.
Where to find Shou-Lao in Marvel Rivals
Shou-Lao is a massive dragon hovering over half of the K’un-Lun: Shenloong Arena map, specifically near Capture Point A. This dragon is technically outside the explorable bounds of this location, so you can’t actually reach them. Luckily, you don’t have to, as you simply need to hear some words of wisdom from him to get this quest done.

Generally, he’s pretty easy to spot once you know what you’re looking for, as he’s absolutely massive. Depending on which point you’re at, though, you might not be able to see him, so you’ll either need to wait until the match reaches this point or set off on your own to explore and find it.
Heed the ancient wisdom of Shou-Lao in K’un-Lun: Shenloong Arena
To heed the ancient wisdom of Shou-Lao in K’un-Lun: Shenloong Arena, thus finishing the Emergence of Greatness achievement, you need to hear one line of advice from the mighty dragon, such as “All the Capital Cities of Heaven are watching on this day. Fight well!” There’s no way to directly interact with this character to trigger dialogue, so you simply need to get close to Shou-Lao and wait for him to decide to chat with you.
I tested this out with three different characters at three different spots close to the edge of the map where he hangs out. All three times, he decided to talk to them fairly quickly, so as long as you can see him, you should be able to get this quest done swiftly. If you’re having trouble, try moving around to a few different spots near him to help move things along.

Generally, it’s a good idea to head over to an area near him outside of the battle to make sure you can watch, wait, and listen carefully for his wisdom. It can be tricky to catch what he says otherwise, which means you might not be able to tell whether or not you’ve completed the task until after the round ends.
If you’re up for it, there are plenty of other maps that have even more tricky achievements to tackle. Next, you might try working on Alchemax’ll Make Ya, Cute, Smart, Clever, Cellblock Chat, Secret Stash, and Shark to Shark.
