Combat Achievements




All Present and Accounted For

Was that supposed to hurt?
Win a non-Puzzle Battle with less than 10 damage taken in total.
Similar to All Present and Accounted For, there are battles early on with minimal damage, if the AI plays a card with a damage order, try to remove it quickly. Armour is also helpful.





Once more! Again!

Play as many loyal units as possible and use leader when it is off cooldown.





Party's over!
Kill 9 enemies simultaneously.
In the first battle of the Aedirn map "Not a Living Soul" play a pitfall trap melee, then play a pitfall trap ranged. Once the AI has played two Alpha Wolves one will have 9 strength. Use the Rivian Broadsword on the 9 power wolf. When the AI has filled the melee row with 8 Nekkers, it will pass. Each Nekker has 5 power, use the Lyrian Horn and then the Rivian Broadsword to kill them and the 5 strength Alpha Wolf.





In Good Company

I did start an easy difficulty playthrough after bonebreaker just for the achievements I missed. I skipped my way through to Eyck, but after skipping the manticora fight I got "For the Good Book States" but not the "Distillation of Filth" achievements. Is that a bug or I have to actually defeat manticora without skipping?

Another place you can do "Party's Over!" is in Mahakam at the Forktail fight. Think it was called Death from Above or something similar. Harpies will be continuously spawning due to eggs spawning more of them, so just bide your time until 9 harpies are on the field and use the Rivian leader ability to hit all of them at once since they already are 4 hp. You can speed it along by using Strays Slingers to kill eggs.

the canceled transaction its called "dangerous trade", almost fucked up the achievement :steamfacepalm:

Hey, I would like to point out a correction. "Distillation of Filth" can still be done even if you steal from the priestesses, since you can still fight the manticore with him. However, "For the Good Book States" is the one you won't get because Eyck will not join you.

Also, I made a guide mentioning the Combat Achievements, I linked this guide and credited you.
