Endings
If you want to get all achievements without completing game second time, you should do them as they're presented here. Also, I recommend to copy save-file somewhere when Seneschal offer you to live with illusions in Cassardis or to fight once more time. You can find save-files here: Steam\userdata\...\367500\remote

When Grigori asks you if you want fight back or go, just go. He asks you once more, answer "Yes" and go. After cutscene achievement will pop and you can try to choose the right decision again.

The Escort
You need to complete any escort quest without NPC you need to protect getting hurt. It's easy to achieve when you travel to Gran Soren with Mercedes.



The Patron
Help Madeleine open her shop. After escorting the pawn, Rook, to the Encampment go back to Cassardis and find Madeleine in Pablos' Inn. Escort her to the Encampment in "Guard Duty" quest and after going inside the Encampment talk to her, give her the 1,000 G she asks for.

The Knave
This achievement can be obtained by commissioning Montebank, the scrivener of the Black Cat in Gran Soren, to create a forgery. You need to forge items like wakestones, idols or portcrystals to gain achievement.
If achievemnt doesn't pop after you get a forgery, then try this method.

DLC: Bitterblack Isle
These achivements can be obtained only on Bitterblack Isle, which is available in the beginning of the game. However I recommend to go there on second walkthrough.

The Inquisitor
Defeat Dark Bishop on Isle. It's second boss you'll meet.
Conqueror
Defeat Daimon on Isle. It's final boss on Isle.
True Conqueror
Defeat Daimon in his true form. After you killed him once you need to proceed through Isle once again and defeat Daimon to unlock his true form.

Defeat Death on Isle. There was a good guide how to kill this boss, but sadly the author deleted it.
So, I hope these #1[gamefaqs.gamespot.com] and #2[gamefaqs.gamespot.com] threads will help you as well.

If i'm not mistaken for Escort quests you can actually teleport to the quest location and it counts

its possible to get the escort by simply healing the escorted person to max health before you reach your destination

@Officer Hotpants, thanks! I will add this detail to guide

It's probably already been said but the reason that the forgery achievement doesn't pop for some people is because of what they're forging. Most of the items you can have Mountebank make a "forgery" of just result in you getting an actual second copy of that item. Special items like wakestones, idols and portcrystals are what you need to forge. These, when forged, return a nonfunctional copy that's marked as a forgery in its information panel. The wakestone fragment you find in the video is a forgery. That's why it pops the achievement.

@Badovski, I believe you can't complete her quest for achievement if you didn't complete escort quest first
Fly 26 Oct, 2018 @ 9:23am

@Biglevan, yes, sure.

Does sold equipment count for "Well Equipped" achievement?
Heather🌺  [author] 25 Jan, 2018 @ 6:48am 
@falloutdude83, thanks, glad you like it!
I did 3 playthroughts to get 100%. At first I get all achievements I can like plot achs, for monsters-bosses, for endings, for exploring, for doing stuff like crafting/enlishing pawns/doing quests and so on. At second I've beaten game on "Hard" + tried a dlc, it was hard enough, lol, and at third I played it in "Speedrun mode".
TBH, I also went to fouth playthrought cause I needed 200lvl and I forgot about achievement "Well Equipped", so I did it too on fouth playthrought :]
