If you have found any secrets that I've missed - please let me know in the comments so I could update the guide :3

Also, it took a lot of effort to do this guide so if it would be useful, pls like it :3 And if you want to make me especially happy, pls drop a like on my inscryption gameplay, I'd be extremely grateful!



Last but not least, obvious SPOILER ALERT (though I'll try to be as spoiler free as possible)

These achievements are story related, so you can skip this section. However, if you are stuck at any part of the story, I'll describe the solutions anyway so SPOILER ALERT! (I'll try to be as spoiler free as possible!)

Blood Artist
You just have to die. Even though there is a way to beat the "unbeatable" sections (btw you can see that in my vid), you will still be unable to proceed without dying a certain amount of times.


Innocuous Insect
You'll get the achievement as soon as you open the safe in the cabin. The code to the safe is somewhere in the rulebook.



Miner's Bane
Defeat the first boss of act 1.



Grizzled Angler
Defeat the second boss of act 1.



Face to Face
Defeat the third boss of act 1.



Enduring Victory
Defeat the 4th boss of act 1.



Uncage the Menagerie
Free the Caged Wolf. There's a Caged Wolf card in the bottom left drawer of the cabinet. You'll need to use it in battle and let it get destroyed to free the wolf. You'll be able to get the wolf statue on the shelf behind near the cabinet after that happens.



Ancestral Vision
Use the dagger. After freeing the wolf, you can place the wolf figuring near the squirrel that holds the dagger to get it. Then use it as an item in battle.

Also, you must lose at least once to get the access to the Magical Eye. Otherwise it doesn't spawn. Thanks to Get Tokt for pointing that out!


Reborn Hope
Get the film roll. If you have won at least 1 time then after using the dagger you'll be able to choose a magical eye that will help you solve the cuckoo clock puzzle..

Gruesome Encore
Let The Mycologists experiment twice on the same creature (one creature must be already an experiment).













Role Reversal
Steal back one of our creatures from the Angler. You will get the angler's hook after beating the game once. When you get to the Angler, wait until he steals your creature and then use the hook on the creature during your turn. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE DURING THE FIRST STAGE OF THE BATTLE!

Also, you have to encounter the Angler and then win the run or lose it. The next game the Angler will provide you with the hook at the very beginning.












Squirrel Wrangler
Win a battle with damage from Squirrels. There are 2 easy ways to do that.
1. First way is to get the Amalgama creature (rare one) as a reward after boss fights or for golden pelts. This creature represents all of the factions at once including the squirrel one. So it IS the squirrel technically. That's how I got the achievement (the screenshot from the moment the achievement popped up is down below)
2. You can actually pretty easily get the squirrel achievement in act 2! Simply go to the dummy with buff conduits and at least one squirrel, and then just place a squirrel between two buff conduits.
Thanks to Doca 4 for this method!
3. Another reliable way is to create a totem that gives squirrels a sigil to grow in power after 1 turn.
4. You can also do some genius plays with cards that increase power of adjacent cards. But I'd strongly recommend you to use the 1st method.

*If you solve the painting 3 times and replace squirrels with bees then bees act like insects and thus I'm not sure that the achievement is getable...

1. Campfire Murder
At some point in the game you'll be able to use the campfire more than once per visit at the risk of losing the creature. If you feed the people the worm or any poisonous creature (like Adder), they will all die and you'll be able to use campfires freely 5 times per visit buffing your deck enormously.











2. The secret of the painting
You can open the painting 3 times (in different runs after dying or winning) and get permanenet bonuses like: when choosing a card to add to your deck, you can reshuffle the options once per event; having an additional candle (additional life and smoke); having bees instead of squirrels.


















3. The ring
You can get the ring from the cuckoo clock if you notice that on the table there's a carving depicting 11 o'clock.









4. Glitched card
If you get lucky, you can draw the glitched card that's going to turn into a random card upon drawing it from the deck during the battle.

The binary above the static card translates to its name: Deep Beneath. (Thanks to Drake Ravenwolf )




5. Greater Smoke
If you put off the candle near the cabinet 3 times (1 time at a run, so 3 runs required), you can get a Greater Smoke Card (that replaces Smoke card and can actually attack on its own).





6. Free bone boon
You can click the goat skull on the wall a couple of times to get temporary free bone boom (you start the battle with 1 bone). The effect is exactly the same as after the sacrifice only temporary.



7. Free Amalgam
If you happen to visit the Wood Carver 7 times then on the 8th instead of creating a part of the totem, they will grant you Amalgam.


8. Free teeth
The skull can be looted for teeth. They respawn more often than once a trial. After defeating a boss there are always teeth.


9. Goat Crush
Another secret is instead of getting normal eye replacement. Get the goat/double iris eye and Black Goat cards will crush/lust blush with Heart sigil forehead and nightwear
Thank to St.Akardi for this secret and screenshot!


10. Extremely good bone boon
If you sacrifice the Black Goat on the altar then it will say that the Bone Lord is extremely pleased with your sacrifice and you will receive an extremely good bone boon that gives you 8 bones at the start of each battle till the end of act 1.
Thanks to Xeg0on for discovering this secret!


Thanks to 李性叫兽 and paladinossauro for the screenshots!


11. The drone
When you turn away from the table to face the safe, the screen might glitch and you might see the drone from act 3. I'm not sure what triggers it yet. It disappears after you move or turn away.
Thanks to bigbloon for discovering this secret!

If any of you would be so kind to take a screenshot, I'd be grateful!


12. Missing eye
If you use the knife in the act 1 and lose your last candle or beat Leshy without the film roll, your portrait will be missing an eye.
Thanks to GoldenQuazar for this secret!


13. Secret card
There's a secret card underneath the safe, but we are unsure what's the trigger. Potentially the trigger is the amount of times you die. We have no more theories yet...
Thanks to Drewdler for this secret!

Any more info about the secret (and screenshots) are appreciated!

Renewal
Start Act 2.



Doomed Necromancer
Complete the Temple of the Dead.



Avenging Druid
Complete the Temple of Beasts.



Wizard Mentor
Complete the Temple of Magicks.


Hints for the temple (not a solution):
1. After equipping the monocle look through the pages of the note again on the 1st floor of the tower.
2. You have to deal damage to the Practice Mages 1 at a time (it's the fight with the dummy on the 2d floor)
3. The ESC - CONFIG button have some magic paint... When u go to set the volume you will see the last sigil. Thanks to Devotion and Seraph27 for the tip!



Accomplished Automaton
Complete the Temple of Technology.


Pls write me in the comment section if any of these parts cased problems and I should add hints or solutions to puzzles!

Dark Offering
You will need to obtain 2 parts of Broken Obols (that's cards from the Temple of the Dead deck) and put them together in a fight so they can form an obol. The easiest fight for this is the fight against a dummy on the 2d floor of the Temple of Magicks. The pieces will form an obol that you can offer to a tomb in the Temple of the Dead (downstairs).
You will have to talk to this weird demon TWICE!!






Devil's Play
You have to deal more than 666 damage. Yes, it's possible. Yes, it's EXTREMELY annoying!
You will have to have these 4 cards that are on the board in your deck:

Then you click on the horn in total 445 times then you click on the Bone Heap 667 times (technically 666 but imagine if it has to be more than and not equal after all this trouble). So in total 1112 clicks. Yes, I did it. For you. SO GO LIKE MY VID! (jk, obviously)


You can also use Stim Mage instead! Then it's only 667 clicks as Dave Mongoose pointed out in the comment section!

Thanks to FerociousMustache for the screenshot!

Another less annoying option was suggested by JDD in the comment section: "If you would prefer to not grind in order to get ["Devil's Play" and "Collective Effort"], you can edit your save file to get Ouroborus to 999 attack power. For this, simply open your SaveFile.gwsave , scroll down all the way to the bottom and change the variable "ouroborosDeaths" to 998. Attacking the dummy once should net you enough to get both achievements". WARNING! (Though I am NOT 100% sure!!) If you do the 999 Ouroborus before getting the Grim Pantry achievement the Ouroboros stats will affects the Rank 3 Bounty Hunter somehow so their stat numbers will be so high it makes it very difficult to defeat them XD ( Thanks to RoboLois for noticing that)

Another option was suggested by Ronslaught: "The Oroboros card can be taken through each act, and it's power grows every time it dies. if you combine the necromancer card (if a card dies the card is reborn before it dies again) and the bone robber? (1 bone= 1 skeleton) so now each time oro dies, it counts as 2 death, giving it 2 power and health each round, and with access to infinite bones you can keep casting skeletons and making sacrifices that count as 2 deaths for oro"

Another option was suggested by Ebowl247: "I found quite an easy way to get the devil's play achievement. Literally all you need is a pharoh's pet and a ouroboros and then hammer ouroboros and use pets to summon it 667 times. IMO wayyyy easier to get only these two cards, as it took me quite a while to get the horn and the advanced circuit thingy."

Another option was suggested by ☢ Nato Potato ☢and Flqme: "Easiest way to get 666 damage is to use oroboros with 2 necromancers and a pharos pet, dunno if its fastest but it's pretty simple to pull off and saves you having to make a single card do 666+ damage. Play necros and pet first, sacrifice pet to summon oroboros, it'll create more copies of oroboros in your hand, sacrifice the oroboros on the board and then the pet to summon a new one, each time you do both of the necros will revive and kill the oroboros so it'll increase its stats by 3, if you keep doing this until it gets to at least 222 power then you can hammer the necros and put 2 more oroboros out and you'll get to keep the 200+ power oroboros for other fights".

Collective Effort
You will have to collect all of the cards. There are 96 cards. Honestly, I collected 95 and got the achievement (RoboLois pointed out that there's the rabit card that's not listed in the wizard's catalog but counts towards the progression, so you need to collect 96/97 but 95/96 out of the catalog)
Special cards:
1. Drowned Soul (look in the "secrets in act 2" section down below for description)
2. Great Kraken (look in the "secrets in act 2" section down below for description)

All the other cards you will get by exploring, opening chests and defeating enemies. Now you will probably NOT get all of them immediately. So, go to the dummy in Magick's tower and smash him for money to buy more packs. Yes, this achievement IS pretty annoying too.

If you got the previous achievement then this one will be a walk in the park, just spend all the money on packs. You'll def get them all!

Here's all my pages so you can compare and see what you are looking for (as I mentioned, I got it having 95/96):

1. Keys for act 3
There are 2 keys to be find that you'll need to use in the next act to unlock more secrets!
1] The Mycologists will need 4 pairs of cards to combine into a new set. If you collect all of them, you'll get the key.

You can find all these cards in the bottom left option in the faction's shops. If it's not there, scroll through (There are 3 options to scroll through and then they repeat). It's muck easier then getting the cards from the packs. They are in the bottom left corner among the sole cards you can buy for every faction.

After that, you get the key:

2] The second key might be obtained after you get the Dark Offering achievement. You'll get to go further down after bringing the obol and after talking to the bone god TWICE, you'll get the key.


Both keys unlock secrets in the Act 3.

2. Secret image 1
You can go up in a certain place (you can see it on the screenshot) where you baited the shark to see the secret image 1.

Thanks to nhmetalhead for the screenshot!


3. The Wood Carver
You can go up in a certain place (you can see it on the screenshot) where you trapped the rabbit to find the Wood Carver and to talk to them. They have some interesting things to say.



4. Secret image 2
You can go up in a certain place (you can see it on the screenshot) on the 1st floor of the Magicks tower to see the secret image 2.



5. Drowned Soul
If you interact with the well for the 2d time (the 1st time is story related) then you'll get a Drowned Soul card.



6. Great Kraken
On the 3d floor of the Magicks tower, you can see a tentacle in the bathtub if you look in the mirror there. You can click on it. There's also another tentacle in the docks which you can access by going straight left right before entering Leshy's Temple. If you click both tentacles, you'll get the card. (It's possible that you might only get the card from the docks, not from the bathtub, the tentacle should reappear there after both clicks, holding the card).




7. Clover
You can get the clover also in the docks. It lets you reshuffle your hand once at the beginning of the match.



8. The cat can die from you sacrificing it
Now I don't have a screenshot of that, unfortunately. But the cat that has a sigil of unlimited sacrifices actually can only be sacrificed 9 times. On the last life it's eyes start to bleed and it's leg becomes a bone. I wish I would have a screenshot for you. If any of you can screenshot it, I would appreciate!

The screenshot was made by Djesus Uncrossed. Thank you so much!

WARNING: Agonizing Remorse achievement is HIGHLY missable, please read the requirements to get it before proceeding through the chapter (in the "missable achievements" section)

Painer's Servant
Defeat the Unfinished Boss.



Natural Connection
Defeat G0lly.



Balance of Power
Allow P03 to gain control of Inscryption



Murder

Pls write me in the comment section if any of these parts cased problems and I should add hints or solutions to puzzles!

Agonizing Remorse
To get this achievement you have to delete the file after letting it die in a fight against the Archivist. That file that they specifically warned that we have to keep alive.
Thanks to KingusGornLordChefPenglaFengars for the hint!

It's safer to delete the file before beating the boss, but it worked after beating the boss and before picking up the upgrade too.
Big thanks to RoboLois who noted that: "For the Agonizing Remorse achievement, I was able to get it /after/ beating the boss, but before picking up the Empty Vessel upgrade. I beat the boss, deleted the file, and then picked up the upgrade. After making my upgrade selection, P03 commented on the file being gone and I got the achievement. This would need to be tested more but I'm guessing that the game looks for the file any time after the file gets defeated in battle and any time P03 talks from then on."

Thanks to DragonHunter54 for this addition: "For anyone worried about deleting something important while attempting Agonizing remorse here's a neat little tip/easter egg. Create a jpg (image file) and move it to your C: drive prior to the fight (ideally with an acutal image in it). When you get to phase 2 the file will be easy to find as it will be the only one ending in .jpg. Additionally she will call you out on having a file like that in your C drive and her face will be replaced with the image contained in the file for the remainder of the fight. Once the file is dead tab out and delete the file, you will get the dialogue and achievement pop as soon as the fight ends."

Also, if anybody has good screenshots to attach here about this achievement, I would be grateful to get one!

Forgotten Lore
OK, so here's the map with minimum spoilers (you are welcome) but with all pelt locations! Hope you'll like it!

(Thanks to 4x4cheesecake for discovering the diagonal path!)

The pelt that's located straight under the start you should buy and I think it might not be there since the very beginning.


Grim Pantry
You have to get to bounty rank 3 (by not dying) and then you have to destroy a card of a bounty hunter in a match. Only then you will be granted this achievement.

If you need an infinite fight to get the bounty up, then keep going to an area and back to the initial location to trigger fights.

1. The locked crypt
So if you got the key in Act 2 from offering the obol, now you may enter the crypt and have a rather peculiar and funny interaction. I think you'll enjoy it!


2. Ourobot
Do you want your OP Ouroboros back? Well, if you go to the Temple of Magicks where the trader used to be, you'll be able to buy something very expensive to reveal a hint on how to get your Ourobot back.


3. Archivist's face
GoldenQuazar found out that if you select an image file during stage 1 or start of stage 2 of the boss fight then this picture will be displayed as the Archivist's face till the end of the fight!



Thanks to Aniyha for the screenshot! and Thanks to TohoTaku for the screenshot! (second phase)


4. Secret Passages.
They are everywhere and you've probably already seen the map. But I spend lots of time making it so behold it again!


5. Goo Pillar
To solve the pillar puzzle you must do the following:

1. Set the clock at 11 o'clock. (It's the same time that was needed for the ring in Act 1 and the same time that was depicted on the table in Act 1)
2. Turn the camera drone and flash it when it's facing the opposite side (while it's moving) and look at the thombstone.
3. Solve the card printer puzzle by creating the exact same card as depicted behind on the left of P03.


6. Woodcarver's face
In Act 3, every now and then you can see the face of the Woodcarver floating in dark corners of the roamable building.
Thanks to KingCorporeal for this secret!

It appears that it's only triggered after you meet with the other 3 scrybes (you might also have to interact with hidden green data chunks as Willem mentioned) and in very specific locations:
1. The one in the screen shot is to the right of the trader. It appears after talking to the trader.
2. The other spot is behind the terminal found to the player's immediate left after walking into the inspection room. Interacting with it and then turning around triggers it but I'm not 100% certain.
3. The third spot is on the bridge leading to where you see the 3 scrybes. Facing the scribe, standing on the bridge, then look left. Thanks to MessiahofMelons for the information about the third location! (I would appreciate the screenshot if any of you would be so kind to make one))

Thanks to NAP | aeroshire for the screenshot and info about [1] and [2] locations!


7. Secret logs and photos.
When the Great Transcendence is ready, a bunch of secret logs and photos will appear in the secret passages (look at the map I did). Check the secret locations to find them.
Thanks to Gaphodil for this secret.


8. Rulebook jokes
During the ending sequence, you can flip through the rulebook for some funny jokes.
Thanks to Gaphodil for this secret.

I would appreciate the screenshots of your favorite jokes to add to this guide if you'd be so kind to make them :3

I think the guide is done. Thank you for reading, supporting and adding to it! I would appreciate if you'd drop a like if it was useful to you.
I spend lots of time making it so it would be convenient for you and easy to navigate so if you wanna do something nice for me too, you can check out my vid I made about the Act 1 of the game :3


Thank you!
