All hidden Deeds in AtS 2025
By LY
Some time after the release of the Bat DLC, after successfully completing the settlement, the game announced that I'd completed a new Deed. But by this point, I'd already completed all the Steam achievements and, what's more, all the Deeds.

This Deed was called "Salty Player," which doesn't require much—accumulating 999 units of salt in your warehouse. It's perhaps the easiest Deed to obtain of all currently available.

This is how I learned about a special category of Deeds in the game—"Hidden"—the existence of which can only be discovered by accidentally completing one of these Deeds, or by stumbling upon posts from other players on the developers' Discord server, Reddit, or other forums.

Since I'd completed the story campaign (including "Queen's Hand Trial"), I've taken on a new challenge, adding another 70 hours of gameplay and a desire to compile the guide here.

Basics
To avoid spoiling the fun of finding solutions to Deeds on your own, I'll be classifying some of the information as spoilers. These will include hints or the solutions I used to obtain them.

The rewards for completing Deeds will be shown in screenshots; I don't consider them spoilers.

General tips
Anything that doesn't require Prestige 20 difficulty is best done on the easiest difficulty, or, to win early, on Prestige 1. It grants access to the Forgotten Altar, which can boost the economy and make Deeds easier to complete. Completing the mission also requires 18 reputation points.

Also, if possible, it's best to complete edicts close to the City (meaning on the global map) to maximize the caravan gathering bonus. This is especially true for Deeds, which require Prestige 20.

Finally, some Deeds require even more initial points to gather caravans. In these cases, completing a settlement with a negative modifier and then gaining additional caravan gathering points (+4, or even +8 if there were two modifiers at the same time) is a good solution. For a couple of Deeds, I had to prepare caravans with two supply bonuses.

1. Salty Player
Awarded for winning a game with 999 Salt in the Main Warehouse.

2. Chants from the Deep
Awarded for losing 10 villagers in a single game to the Forbidden Ritual effect (This is an effect when performing some dangerous glade events).

3. Arckmage's Challange (P20)
Awarded for completing a settlement on Prestige 20 difficulty without cutting down a single tree. This deed cannot be done in Rocky Ravine.



I completed it in the relatively new "Bamboo Grove" biome, as without fertile soil, all resources would be depleted early. However, you can roll fertile soil in the starting glade in other biomes.
4. Crimson Farmer
Awarded for completing a settlement after removing 20 Blood Flowers (clones are counted).

5. Speedrun (P20)
Awarded for completing a settlement in 3 years (or less), on Prestige 20 difficulty.

6. The Fool
Awarded for attacking Sir Renwald Redmane, a royal guard trader with a beak (and without a red mane).



How to do it: The Rebellious Spirit cornerstone has an undocumented behavior where it lets you attack Renwald

Spoiler number two for the walkthrough: Only stormforged cornerstone appropriate!
7. Cat-Egorical Imperative
Pet Elder's Cat 50 times in a game (Elder's cat is one of the rewards for "First Elder" world event, crossover with Dotage. To "pet" the cat you need to click the cat model strolling around your settlement, when done correctly, it will do a little jump).

8. Red Chase (P20)
Awarded for completing any Archaeological Discovery in the Scarlet Orchard in less than 25 minutes on Prestige 20 difficulty.



Given the length of seasons on this difficulty, this should happen no later than the first minute of Dripping in Year 3.

Hints that are easier to figure out yourself:

- Take Foxes into the caravan;
- Try to obtain the "Prayer Book" cornerstone one or more times (through the merchant or glade events);
- Open a glade with excavations as quickly as possible;
- Know in advance what you'll need for each excavation level (you can look it up in the encyclopedia). With this in mind, you can assemble your starting caravan.
9. The Rebel
Awarded for completing 6 Forbidden Events in a single game. Dangerous glades do not count.

10. Jinxed
Awarded for stumbling upon 2 Forbidden Glades in a row at the beginning of a game in the Cursed Royal Woodlands.



I really struggled with this while searching for ways to complete it without savescum. I still haven't found it, so I had to go to the developers and community on Discord to find out why something that should work isn't working. Ask if u need.
11. The Appetizer
Awarded for "naturally" depleting a Dead Leviathan resource node. Marshlands Biome, Forbidden Glades.



Screenshot under the spoiler:

12. Not On My Watch (P20)
Awarded for completing the Storm Ant Column world event on Prestige 20 difficulty without any villagers suffering the hunger effect.

13. Feeling extremely lucky
Awarded for obtaining the "Homestead" and "Rainpunk Foundry" blueprints from expeditions in the Coastal Grove (in one game).



I can say many "kind" words about completing this Deed and write a whole treatise on what kind of endstones are needed, which merchants, etc.

They even added the nicest reward here—a stylish building in the "aesthetics" category.

It took me 66 in-game years and 230 merchant visits to complete it.

Well, yes, only in such a race can you see how the residents were filled with cooking 500 servings of porridge from four sheaves of grain and 8 liters of water:

Good luck, Viceroys.
