None of the achievements are related to the difficulty selected, so feel free to choose whatever you're comfortable with. Personally, I found 'experienced' to be easy at times.

All achievements can be earned in one playthrough if you make sure to pick the right dialogue options during some key conversations. Check the Optional Achievements section for more details.

Note that all achievements (except for Clash on Graveyard veteran) can be earned in co-op (thanks to BadBoyUK for confirming).

Tips for new players looking to 100% the game:

• Upgrading your equipment is generally unadvisable and you'll likely find better items as you progress through the quests.
  
• Money doesn't really matter as there's not much to spend it on.
  
• Feel free to waste food items as much as you want as they'll be useless late game. Try to avoid using health potions until Act 3 when they'll have the biggest impact.
  
• I'd recommend investing heavily in Health and Shield as they both drastically increase survivability. Attack is also useful, especially early game, to make sure you can one-shot enemies.
  
• Freeze is a must-have spell. Get it as soon as possible and upgrade it whenever you can. Speed can also be really useful as the base movement speed is incredibly slow. Late game, Ghost Defender is quite strong if upgraded to level 6 and beyond.

These are necessary to progress the story.

This should unlock once you leave the 'Crash Site'.

The Old Miser in 'Camp' will give you his location.

The Old Miser in 'Camp' will give you his location.

Complete the blacksmith's quest in the 'Blacksmith's House'.

Who wouldn't run to save a princess?

Location: 'Goblins Camp'
Spelly goblins. Not annoying at all. At. All.

Location: 'Goblins Camp'
Save the girl. But she's like 12 so don't do anything else.

Speak to Fasthands the carpenter in 'Camp'.

Kill all the bandits in the Camp.

Go to the Reds' camp.

Location: 'Camp'
Speak to the Undertaker in the East.

Get to the Graveyard. It's in the West of the map.

These quests are all part of the undertaker storyline which will need to be completed for a story quest item.

Location: 'Someone's House'
What you're looking for is a photo on the shelf.

Location: 'Camp Near the Swamp'
You'll need to gather a bunch of items from different people. Each one will ask you to do something else before they give what you want....because the game isn't long enough otherwise.

Go through the castle and speak to the Lord of the Marshlands.

Go through the Northern cemetery and finish the location.

The Big Bad = bad. Go boom boom on the bad.

In the final dialogue of the game, elect to protect the princess rather than yourself. Apparently, some 0.2% of players actually miss it.

Sun get.

Some of these achievements are missable, so you might want to be careful not to choose the wrong dialogue option. They are not necessary to progress the story.

Generally, you want to be nice/reasonable in all dialogue. Being rash/aggressive can cause you to skip over certain quests and achievements.

Location: 'Camp' (Act 1)
Always pay the beggars 10 coins for the best info. The achievement apparently only triggers if you pay the beggar 10 coins the first time you meet him.

Location: 'Camp' (Act 1)
Quest Giver: Iron Forehead (NW)
Quest Goal Location: Inside the dungeon next to Iron Forehead.
Go through the dungeon and find the lost brother. Go back to Iron Forehead to finish the quest and trigger the achievement.

Quest Location: 'Mysterious Well'.
Quest Giver: The well in the North-West.
Quest Goal Location: A chest to the east of the well, behind the wall.

Easy to miss. Don't fight the Reds and join them instead. Check Stapper's guide for a step by step walkthrough.

Once you've joined the Reds and done some things for them, they'll send you to strongarm the butcher. It follows on from the 'On the enemy's side' achievement. Check Stapper's guide for a step by step walkthrough.

I don't think it's mandatory to kill the boss of the Reds, but doing the Chef quest will make him attack you anyway.

Location: 'Bald Skull Inn'
Quest Giver: Soldier of the King inside the Bald Skull Inn
Solve a murder case. The quest itself is quite straightforward. Be nice and reasonable in dialogue options and use evidence when possible.

Location: 'Bald Skull Inn'
Get into the secret society by finding a White Top Hat (there's multiple to be found in the area).

Location: 'Pumpkin Farm'
Quest Giver: Pumpkin Seller in Tavern Yard (Bald Skull Inn)

Location: 'Northern Woods'
Quest Giver: Herald in Tavern Yard (Bald Skull Inn)

I think this unlocks after you complete the Graveyard.

Pretty self-explanatory. Do the Ancient Maze dungeon.

Location: 'Guard'
Quest Giver: Royal Blacksmith in 'Camp near the Swamp'
Tell one of the guards that you found a ring and that the body it was taken from is gone.

These achievements generally have to do with killing X monsters or doing X things.

These can be done at any time so I suggest ignoring them until after you complete the story. Many of them will be completely or at least partly done by then.

Just go full Minecraft and punch some trees.

Break stones. Secrets can be hidden behind stones so might as well.

Will definitely unlock as you play.

Will definitely unlock as you play.

Will unlock as you progress through the story. Either use Freeze and smack them or kite them around using PowerStrike/Fireball.

Will unlock as you progress through the story.

Buried chests, secret areas, and items hidden behind the environment all count.

Hey, I was thirsty.

Fall into the abyss

Bombs are quite useful and you get a lot of them.

You will most likely complete these as you progress the story. The Shovel icon in the top right will light up if you're standing over buried treasure.

These are very useful early game so I expect this to be unlocked very quickly.

You'd have to try not to get this one.

You'll definitely unlock these while playing.

Use your shield or the Freeze spell to make fighting these easier.

You'll probably get this while doing the main story. Remember to freeze the slugs so you don't have to fight their offspring.

If you stay in the swamp too long, you'll sink and drown.

Go to 'Lost Caravan' and take a right - there are 3 wood goblins close to each other. Freeze them and use Ghost Defender while bopping them on the head to kill them quickly. Get out, reset, and keep going until the achievement pops.

Go to 'Lost Caravan' and follow the road North. There's 5 moose that you can keep killing. Reset and go again until the achievement pops.

Can be done very quickly by resetting 'Dungeon' and completing it while sprinting. A better idea, though, is to pick this up while going for the 'Goblin's Fighter' achievement.

Keep resetting 'Goblin Cave', run to the end to kill the Goblin Shaman, and reset. I recommend doing this while you're also going for 'The Threat of the Dungeons' achievement, as the end of the Goblin Cave dungeon is generally just after the Shaman.

I left these to last as they're quite boring. I died around 10 times over the course of the campaign. I amassed something like 60 poisons, found a torch, and just started chugging. Another option is to go to 'Dungeon', find a torch near a ledge, and just take continuous dives. Remember to yell 'GERONIMO'.

In this mode enemies come in waves and you have to kill them all (without dying obviously). At the end of each wave, you get 1 chest with loot and 1 level up. There's also a bunch of hidden chests you can dig up for extra loot.

I recommend levelling Health and Shield to keep yourself alive, and just run around spamming Fireball until everything is dead.

This section details the four new achievements to come with the Strangewood DLC. None of the achievements are missable - just follow the quests.


Location: Strangewood Village
Quest Giver: Peasant Woman in Strangewood Village
Defend the village from 3 waves of enemies. The gates you can buy are very weak so double/triple up on each doorway. Purchase some 5/6 cannons per doorway and spam them all next to each other. As the waves come in, use Speed and Ghost defender to dispose of the yellow skeletons - cannons can take care of the rest.


Location: (Strangewood) Mountain Pass
Kill the stone giant. It's a bit of a puzzle but if you want some hints:
Hint 1: Those furnaces at the top might be useful.
Hint 2: There's a lever in the middle - what does it do?
Solution: Use the furnaces to retract the panels. The platforms to the furnaces work as a counterbalance, so leaving an ore on the left one (in the middle) seems to help. Once both panels are retracted, lure the boss between them (optionally use Freeze to keep him in place) and use the lever to damage him. Doing this twice seems to be enough.


Location: (Strangewood) Narrow Path
Cure A Sad Stranger from the Animalizing curse.
Note that the achievement seems two have two requirements:
- Find the cure and bring it to the Duke. (thanks to WilliamYu92)
- Cure the girl in Narrow Path.



Location: (Strangewood) Strange Ship
Complete Marilyn's quests. Note that the special item she asks for can be found by going to the east of the village.
It seems that to complete this you may need to achieve 'Village defender' first (thanks to WilliamYu92).

Thanks to InsanityPixelated for making the guide's thumbnail - I'm worthless in Photoshop.

Easy Target kindly gave me consent to adapt parts of his Russian achievement guide.

Stapper for his guide giving step-by-step instructions for the 'On the enemy's side' and 'Chef' quests.
