The achievements are not retroactive. Though the developer claims he is working on it.

You need to play the game online to unlock achievements. Offline mode won't unlock achievements.

Some people have reported achievements not always unlocking on the first try, so it's advisable to make a savegame before attempting an achievement.


Most areas are revisitable until the point of no return, but it's advisable to get any collectibles/achievements when you're going through the main story since I can't guarantee they will all be available after you go thought them in the main story.

You'll have the most freedom and access to areas after you start the "Soylent Blue" main quest and unlock the second class change.

The point of no return is made clear by the game and the players is asked if he wants to move beyond it. You can not buy any more items after you pass the point of no return, so optimize your characters and spend all of your gold before you do.

For the "Silenced Saehral", "Wrath of the Centurion" and "Legendary" achievements it is advisable to complete the arena so you unlock all three class changes; buy two Drakonoid Blood Gems for each character (10 in total) or have a very high speed (25+) for either Sullivan or Chaska; put Puffin Feathers (+1 SPD) in all armor pieces; have a small supply of Branches of Life and Elixers for emergencies; spend your remaining cash on Grapes of Alacrity (Permanently increases Speed by 1); before the point of no return. You can buy these items from the vendors at the arena, but they won't trade with you until you win all of the bronze arena battles (and get the Key to the City).

Finish Alda's Trial of Arms in record time!

⚠ Make sure to save before attempting this achievement since you will not be able to replay the trials in case you fail.

After Alda joins your party in the Nordenwald Grove, you will stop at her camp at some point and she will tell the story of her graduation. At some point in that story you will have to solve a maze as your final test and a 30 minute timer will be displayed. It's not enough to finish before the time runs out, you actually have to hurry and collect all of the shiny spots on the floor (+30 seconds per spot) for additional time. Since the fights will take up too much time on Hard difficulty and you won't get a Boss Trophy for killing the boss at the end, it is strongly recommended you switch to Easy difficulty for this achievement. You need to finish with more time than you start with (more than 30 minutes). The achievement will not unlock when the trial is done though, but when you open the chest in Alda's house. Depending on how well your performed in the trial, you will receive different rewards. If you were fast enough you'll get 10.000 coins and a Spark of Creation, and the achievement will unlock, otherwise you will have to reload a previous savegame and try again.
