Go back to Otto. He will make you travel in time to retrieve the antidote and take it back to the present time.

She will ask for a favor : you'll have to go to the Wardenhaft Academy's library, from which Bjalla has been prohibited. Inaccessible to the public, you'll have two ways to get in there. The first one : use shadows to sneak up to the bookcase at the bottom right, there is a novice in front of it (if you're quick enough you'll have no issue taking the book). The second way is to gain access legally to the library. To do so, go to the upper floor to talk to Mendelroth. He will accept to take you in, only if you get rid of the rats in the cellar. Go down, take the stairs Ward of Forbidden Arts, and you'll find yourself in front of three rats. You can talk with them, convince them to go with Bargain and Persuasion, or kill them.

Sea Hag is in the center of the Valley of the Singing Trees.
It is with this quest that you will be able to enlist Sea Hag. It triggers when you talk to her. She wants to make an offering to Tilindia, but doesn't know what kind of offering she should do.

His quest triggers at Espen Estate (chapter 2), when he'll see Lady Espen's intact portrait on the wall. He needs this painting to have a place in the thieves guild. You'll have to accept that he takes it. Going back to Isilbright, Hamlin will go alone to the thieves guild. You'll have to meet him in Greybark Square later. He will confess he's been attacked on the way and has lost the painting. He goes back to your side.
At the beginning of chapter 4, the king orders you to search the Duke Kjarvalr's manor. In the main room, Hamlin will see the painting he was robbed from. He will ask to interrogate everyone in this manor to have some informations about the thieves. Talk to the cook, he will tell you it was the work of two men and a woman who also tried to negociate the painting's price. This means they are not from the thieves guild. Hamlin doesn't know what to do : inform the thieves guild, but that would mean admitting his weakness, or giving up about that painting. You can let him choose alone or influence him, either way he will think about it for some time (but still be with your group).
He'll think about it until the middle of chapter 5 (when the king invites you to the palace). He will talk to you directly, you don't have to trigger the dialogue. He will tell you his choice, and you'll have to help him. Go to the Market Street, to the Thieves Guild (in the General Store, take the stairs, the guards will let you pass).

She will tell you she has a diadem glued to her forehead, sucking her energy little by little. She obviously wants to get rid of this curse. If you're a priest, you can try to Abolish Curse. I don't know if it can actually work, but if it didn't, go to the Temple of Alnarius in Market Street. Talk to Acolyte Brebius or Priestess Genevieve about this curse. They will tell you to talk to High Priest of Alnarius (he's right next to them). He will abolish the curse in exchange of 5000 golds.

You'll have to fight to go to the north-east, where you will fight against a revenant and learn about the wolf's origin. The quest is over, and the achievement is yours.

Be warned that if you have Bjalla in your group, whether you did her quest in parallel or not, you'll have to make a choice, because both need the enlightenment of this undead. You choose one, you lose the other.

His quest will be triggered when you will have unlocked Garden of Delights (chapter 3).

Next step : talk to Zanahib. He's in Alumu's tent in The Great Pavilion, still in Garden of Delights. You must have already talked to Alumu to trigger his dialogue. He will unlock you three places, but we only need one : the Broken Monastery. Now unlocked, go there, explore until you're in the Inner Chapel, destroy the demon, and then talk to Arvex. It was fake news, there's nothing here that could help him.
At this point, you need to have Siracca in your party for the following (thanks to Noodles for this information). Siracca is in Market Street, to the east of Alnarius Church.
Go get some sleep. In the morning (or whatever), Arvex will want to talk. He had a vision during the night. The djinn told him he will grant him an eternal sleep and the resurrection of his wife and daughter, but in exchange he wants Arvex to bring Siracca to the Moonstone Clearing, to "forgive" her of her sins. Siracca will obviously tell you she's not really reassured. Say you will consider it, but whatever she said you don't care and go to Moonstone Clearing.
In Moonstone Clearing, go in the center of the map, to the Moonstone. You must have Arvex and Siracca with you (you can have more companions it doesn't matter). Arvex will kindly ask you to help him slay Siracca and you will kindly accept. The achievement is yours once she's "forgiven".


Develop a romantic relationship.

Just be yourself.
I won't give you a full guide on each relationship, you just have to do their personal quest line and choose every answer that implies more than friendship.
Romance options are : Arvex, Bjalla, Hamlin and Jade. Isla can be a one night stand, as she is a temporary companion, but it might work too for the achievement. You can also romance Alenar in the Wardenhaft Academy after finishing his quests (thanks to jcorax for this info).

Quick and easy, especially with a fighter (yourself or even Helgenhar, the first guy you cross path with). Max level is 15.

Forge Alakai, the Edge of Dusk.

This sword is related to the quest The Edge of Dusk.
Go to Fasitgrove, in Cyclop's lair in the south-east of the map. Open the chest to find a Mysterious Item. Identify it, it is Alakai's blade. Go to Market Street to talk to Tolbard, the blacksmith (west of the map). He knows this blade and offers to reforged it for you, in exchange of 5000 golds, but he also needs a Rilvite Slab and the other part of the blade.
You'll get three choices for the Rilvite Slab. The first one, you'll have to simply buy it from Crower, the merchant at the entrance of Deron-Guld Center (the price changes depending on the level of world greed). The second one, you'll have to go to Solomon's Armory (in Deron-Guld Center too) and steal from Solomon's pockets, since he doesn't sell it. The last choice you have is to go in the storage house, in a locked chest can be found a Rilvite Slab.
For the other part of the blade, you'll have to go to Crimson Crossing, in The Den of Merchants. To the north-west, in a locker, you can find the hilt. Be careful not to cross anyone.
Go back to Market Street to get the blade restaured by Tolbard.

Craft the Vine-Grown bow.

The Vine-Grown bow is the reward for the side quest The Master's Vintner's Away. For this quest, you'll have to get a grapevine from Dalkivar's fields and give it to Vincent in Vintner's Grove.
Then you will have to take the bow to Iwor, in the north-east of Deron-Guld Gates, and ask him to tear apart the vines that imprison the bow. He will agree if you bring him some meat, he doesn't care what kind of meat, he just wants some. You can have it in your inventory before talking to him and give it right after his request, or you'll have to hunt or buy some and go back to him.
He will be able to tear off most of the vines, but he cannot free it completely because he has really big hands. He suggests that you go to someone who knows plants, and who has more little hands than him. Someone in this area is the perfect match : the herborist, in the north-west of Deron-Guld Gates. Give 3000 golds and the bow will be yours (it's cursed).

Gerdra will come to talk to you, and will offer you a greedy task. Accept, it will make your party greed go up by 50 points and will give you the Messenger of greed achievement.
She will give you the Covetous Pendant. With this necklace, you'll have to kill Lord Amanuel (in Amanuel's Hoard) and king Velianrick (you'll have to wait until you have the achievement Friending the Usurper, where you side with Aldnar, you'll have to fight the king at one point in the future after that (thanks to Noodles for the feedback)). Both dead while you had the necklace, you'll get the achievement.

Visit all towns and city disctrics in Isilmerald.

Most of them are discovered through the main quest, some with Zanahib (in Garden of Delights), and others are found by going to the cardinal points of maps to unlock the surroundings. Here it is specified towns and city districts, so forests and moutains doesn't count but it shouldn't stop you from exploring them.

You can get the covetous pendant for even faster greed points (check The Ultimate Misers achievement description for the pendant, thanks to Noodles for the advice !), as it makes greed points increase every time you loot equipments.

Reach a party greed rating of Extremely Generous.

Do a lot of side quests, refuse every rewards, give from your own purse if you can, make donations to the Church and don't steal (furnitures are indicated « unhautorized » when you're about to steal).
The generosity level can be checked in Party Sheet, tab Greed. Careful, the indicator of greed gives you the level of greed your party has, therefore the more generous you are, the more this level will be negative. Don't be surprised if you see a negative number while you're being generous.

If you have any questions, I will help the best I can. I hope this guide helped you and that you'll love this game as much as I did.

Again, and it seems I will say it in every languages I can (well at least in two languages), thanks to the devs, thank you for making such games, I will never get tired of them, and also thank you for being so reagent and patient with people like us who only wants more game like Black Geyser.
