It should also be clarified that this pair of local legends gives the Swords of the Gorge achievement, not the one shown in the picture, the achievement in the picture is for defeating an almost exact copy of this duo I was really confused trying to figure out which I had already done because of this

Dying to their attacks also gave me an achievement "The white path to the two rivers"
