Introduction
Hi guys, I really enjoyed the game but to be honest you can feel a bit overcome for the great amount of missable achievements, some of those require that you beat several missions in a particular order. I created this guide for those achievements because it's not cool when you realise you have to repeat the whole run just because you missed a single action. I couldn’t find clear information about that, mainly because at the beginning you don't know anything about the game and the vast amount of info available can get you confused, resulting in me playing more than 7 runs, which is fine, but also time consuming.

Here I bring you a simplified guide where you can check which missions are required to obtain the 3 achievements related to the different endings. I won’t explain each mission in detail since there are other guides that do so, however, feel free to ask any question you have in the comments and I will try to help.

Additionally, you can probably get the rest of the achievements during these 3 runs, remember that for those achievements which are mutually exclusive you can undo the last mission you beat (after your first run), so do not fear to experiment as much as you want.

Another tip is to create a backup of your save files, you can even create a backup once you reach the last region of a particular mission saving time if the mutually exclusive achievements are obtained at the end of a mission. Save files are located in:
Windows (C:) > Programme Files > Steam > userdata > 411371641 > 1170080

I wanted to make clear that English is not my first language, I will appreciate any correction to improve the guide!
General tips
These are some recommendations that I learned by playing, hopefully they will make your experience a bit easier:
  • Yes, this guide will have spoilers, use it at your own risk.
  • You only can complete up to 10 missions in a run before the Maelstrom destroys the world.
  • I recommend you play most of the time with Volpain, Noctomoth and Isabeau, I will tell you why in the next paragraph.
  • You should learn to deal with enemies in a pacific way as soon as possible, try not to kill enemies until you recruit Sylvia, otherwise she will refuse to join your team (corrupted beasts don’t give you bad reputation, killing them won’t prevent you from getting Sylvia on board, it’s fine). You should grab as many resources (money and fame) as possible before any combat and try to keep in hand some of these abilities/items: Noctomoth (Mesmerism), Isabeau (Seeds of discord), Pattenbois (Sea Shanty) or the item “Nasty Little Secret”. Also, there are certain items that will make the enemies flee: Bottle o’rum (on pirates) and Arrest warrant (on bandits).
  • After the first run (bad ending), Noctomoth will be your great ally to save time. Use “Quatum Tunnel” ability to find the right card from the exploration deck and “A Gift From The Void” to get crucial items for that particular mission, try to use this last ability in every region to collect at least one item of each type.
  • Before moving to the next region (once every target is complete and the hand icon is available), try to rest and recover as many cards as possible, especially if the penalties only add bad events to the exploration deck, such as “Mutiny”, “Dangerous Rift” or “Cultist ambush” (because you are not going to drag any new card).
  • Make as many backups as you want to save time in case you miss something, especially if you want to play spoiler-free but do not want to repeat everything from scratch.
  • I recommend to invest a bit of time getting some special rewards like new abilities for each character and special golden cards: “Life Tonics”, “Objection!”, “Pattenbois's peg leg”, etc. If you get the second Forger Recommendation Letter, I suggest you duplicate a Life Tonic.
THE BAD PLACE
  1. The Relic – This mission acts like a tutorial of the game, you will get the lyre. You only need to beat it in your first run.
  2. The Negotiator – Give the original Lyre to Lady Katell and recruit Isabeau.
  3. The Initiation – Recover the Morin Khuur and give it to Rainier.
  4. The Defector – Recruit Pattenbois.
  5. The Ritual – Recover the Lute and give it to Tao-Tao. The Cultist will perform the ritual and the bad ending will take place.
THE MEDIUM PLACE
  1. The Strike Leader – Get the address of the Forger and recruit Karst.
  2. The Negotiator – Make a copy of the Lyre, give the fake lyre to Lady Katell, recruit Isabeau.
  3. The Rescue – Save the father of Volpain, do not recover the Morin Khuur (do not bring Noctomoth to this mission, otherwise he will force you to take the artefact).
  4. The Escape – Just complete the mission. I suggest you take the river path.
  5. The Advocate – Recruit Pattenbois.
  6. The Herbalist – Recruit Sylvia (for this you will need to reach her with a minimum number of killed enemies and capturing Hector alive will ensure you that she cooperates).
  7. The Forbidden Library – Recover the recipe for the cure.
  8. The Blockade – Beat Ink Blood to prevent Isabeau’s assassination.
  9. The Liberator – Save Leo and Aube, give the medicine to Volpain (mix Blue algae + Spores in a cauldron)
  10. The Sacred Temple – Recover the Lute and kill Lady Katell. The fact that we only have only two relics will trigger the medium ending.
THE GOOD PLACE
  1. The Strike Leader – Get the address of the Forger and recruit Karst.
  2. The Negotiator – Make a copy of the Lyre, give the fake lyre to Lady Katell, recruit Isabeau.
  3. The Rescue – Save the father of Volpain, recover the Morin Khuur.
  4. The Escape – Just complete the mission. I suggest you take the river path.
  5. The Advocate – Recruit Pattenbois.
  6. The Herbalist – Recruit Sylvia (for this you will need to reach her with a minimum number of killed enemies and capturing Hector alive will ensure you that she cooperates).
  7. The Blockade – Beat Ink Blood to prevent Isabeau’s assassination.
  8. The Liberator – Save Leo and Aube, give the medicine to Volpain (mix Blue algae + Spores in a cauldron).
  9. The Sacred Temple – Recover the Lute and kill Lady Katell once for all.
  10. The Weaver – Place all the characters and watch the video, congratulations, you got the good ending!
Conclusion
I hope this simple guide can be useful to someone, specially if you are missing any of these 3 achievements. This was my first guide, I will accept any suggestion and correction in order to improve.

As I said, I could add some more tips to earn any other achivement during the 3 runs, it was not the original purpose of this guide but if I see support from the community and people demmand it I could do it without problem. I could also translate the guide to Spanish if you find it useful.

Enjoy!
