In case of a successful coup, save either San-Matheus (Thélème) or Hikmet (Alliance).

In search of perfection
Unlock the 5 levels of an attribute

Unlocking all skills of a class isn't hard. You will reach at least level 30 before the end of the game, granting you ~30/29 points. Furthermore, there are several hidden shrines scattered throughout the world, each increasing your total points by one unit.

Just save your game, use a memory crystal and reset all points. Fill any class tree, load your save and proceed with another one. Using the same way, you can fill any attribute and talent branch as soon as you reach five or three points respectively.





Artisan
Craft 10 equipment improvements


Alchemist
Craft 10 alchemical elements



The craftmanship and science talents can be used at workbenches which can be found at campfires, cities and your residences. Modify 10 weapons or clothes and brew 10 potions.





Another sip?
Use 50 potions



Consume 50 potions. You can save your game, brew 50 potions and drink them all at once.



Cat burglar
Pick 20 locks



Use your lockpicking talent to open locked chests and doors. Finding 20 locks requires some exploration and you should avoid using keys, if possible. You can already find many chests in Sérène - especially in the Naut's territory - at the beginning of your journey.

Several achievements are tied to your relationship with your companions and their respective factions. To be able to achieve all of them during one playthrough make sure to prevent the coup!

Regarding your talents it's recommended to focus on charisma and intuition to avoid bloody confrontations. Note, that enforcing your will with money won't hurt anyone in GreedFall.





Friendship above all
Finish all companion quests


Love and the sea
Be in a relationship with Vasco


Guardian of love
Be in a relationship with Kurt


Minundhanem
Be in a relationship with Siora


Love and botany
Be in a relationship with Aphra



You have five companions: Vasco, Kurt, Síora, Aphra and Petrus. How to increase their levels:

Firstly, you should focus on completing companion quests: follow them as soon as they appear and ignore the main story line. Secondly, you should speak with your companion during or after completing one of their quests - you can pick certain questions/answers and some of them will increase the level even more. To guarantee success it's highly recommended to regularly save.

Sometimes, quests have optional subquests which could have impact on the companion as well. If you miss one and get a negative score, load a previous save and replay the quest. Moreover, you should pay attention on your second companion - he or she might not like your actions. Reload and pick another teammate if you notice a decreasing relationship.

Full list of companion quests:

• Vasco - A Name for a Family
  
• Vasco - Family Reunion
  
• Vasco - Forever a Naut
  
  
• Kurt - Missing in Action
  
• Kurt - Amongst the Ghosts
  
• Kurt - Settling Scores
  
  
• Síora - Find Queen Bládnid
  
• Síora - Promises Set in Stone
  
• Síora - The Queen's Farewell
  
  
• Aphra - Islander Knowledge
  
• Aphra - The Cave of Knowledge
  
• Aphra - The Linking Ritual
  
  
• Petrus - The Vices of the Mother Cardinal
  
• Petrus - Dangerous Bets
  
• Petrus - The Sins of Father Petrus

After reaching a slightly advanced friendly status with a companion he or she will ask for a date:

• Vasco: bisexual
  
• Kurt: heterosexual
  
• Síora: bisexual
  
• Aphra: heterosexual
  
• Petrus: not dateable

Agree, find him or her in the bedroom of one of your residences and confess your love.

You can only confess your love to one of your companions! The others won't date you if your level with another character is already set on "Loving". Therefore, you should load your previous save after unlocking the related achievement and proceed with another companion.



Carants
Have a good reputation with the natives


Thélème's chosen
Have a good reputation with Thélème


Favoured with the Bridge Alliance
Have a good reputation with the Bridge Alliance


All for one, one for all!
You managed to unite all factions against Constantin



All faction reputations can be increased like the character relationships.

Finish all secondary quests and pay attention to your decisions and their impacts. Load a previous save if you have noticed a negative score, even if it's just a tiny decrement. Sometimes, it's inevitable to increase the level of a faction without losing sympathies with another.

Most quests will appear naturally, but some must be started manually by talking to certain people. Hence, you should visit important characters regularly and always exhaust all of their dialogues - especially Admiral Cabral in the Port Quarter and the quartermasters in the Coin Guard Barracks. Note, that some faction-related quests (Natives) will already appear after playing for a few hours whilst others (Bridge Alliance) will come to the fore during late-game.

Having good reputations with all factions allows you to pick all of them as allies during the final chapter. Convince all of them to help you during the main quest "Together for Teer Fradee".

There are 44 campfires on the Island of Teer Fradee:

Arena Excellence
Succeed in all the challenges of the arena



You can reach the arena through the basements of the Coin Taverns. Win all five challenges.

A passion for extreme
Complete the game in extreme mode




Surviving on extreme isn't hard. In fact you can even defeat the final boss in approximately two minutes without taking any damage if you follow these simple steps:

• Choose the Technical profile.
  
• Unlock the Firearms, Set Trap, Phial Throw and Bomb skills as well as their sub-skills.
  
• Unock the Roll skill.
  
• Level up Accuracy and Endurance.
  
• Learn all Science and Craftmanship talents.
  
  
• Bind Firearms.
  
• Loot/buy ammo, crude iron ore and hoof fungus from crates/resources and merchants.
  
• Craft ammo and brew major health potions as well as greater resuscitation powder.
  
• Upgrade your weapons and clothes with mods.
  
  
• Pick Aphra as a permanent companion.
  
• Complete only a few secondary quests.
  
• Save and load to regain health outside of battles.
  
• Avoid unnecessary fights.
  
• Use the Bomb spell during challenging enemy encounters.

Based on my experiences shooting enemies is the best way to win against them. Bullets deal a lot of damage and due to the distance to your opponent you can easily dodge heavy attacks.

At the beginning, it will probably take a bit time to aquire a decent amount of ammo. But as soon as you have unlocked some of the above mentioned skills, attributes and talents you will never run out of ammo again.
