General information

There are 36 achievements in the game and pretty much all of them can be earned during one playthrough. There are only two mutually exclusive achievements:
  • True Hunter - Finish Game on Expert Difficulty
  • I Know, I Know! - Finish the Tutorial
This is because there's no tutorial on Expert difficulty level, but it only takes few minutes and can be easily finished separately.
I would still recommend playing on lower difficulty level initially to familiarize yourself with the game.
Unmissable achievements

These achievements are story related and can't be missed.

The Stolen Stone
An Incarceri Stone was stolen from the Order's Treasury. We followed a lead to the city of Lichtenheim.

City of Monsters
The Koshmaar abducted a city into his realm. We gave pursuit and helped one of the Maskwraiths. After, we encountered Gabriel, and Solomon ran after him. But we were separated.

Watertower Down
Solomon's hurt. I must find a cure for him.


Doctor's Degree
Gabriel double-crossed me, but I know where to find him now.

The Nightmare is Over
We saved the city, and Camilla. The Koshmaar is re-imprisoned. But so is Gabriel. It is a bittersweet victory.


Additional Adventure

(*)The Road Less...
Make a choice whether to fight or to deal with Koshmaar.


(*)Tough Choice
I got to the first Incarceri Stone. Made a choice. Was it enough to get rid of the Koshmaars once and for all?

Missable achievements 2

Reader
Read 30 in-game writings during your journey.

There are various documents in the game (more than 30, so you can miss some) which count towards this achievement. Simply click and read (by clicking on a zoomed-in document when your cursor turnes into question mark) everything you find. While the description mentions "writings", I was able to confirm that paintings count as well.

Below is a list of documents which I believe count towards this achievement. I'm not sure they all count, but during multiple playthrough the achievement unlocked at different moments. Checking them all will definitely grant it. I'm not including screenshots as it would take way too much space.

For No More Minigames And Last Fight You Guys Must Choose The Right Answer No This Ends Here You Are Haunted Our World Long Enough ^_^ :steambored:

Danke :csgoanarchist:

I've finished the game twice on expert and haven't received the achievement, anyone know why that would happen?
Banake 4 Sep, 2022 @ 12:27pm 
Thanks.

For some reason, I got False Positive after making the sharpened negative and looking at it with the camera lens. I did *not* put the image next to the puzzle before solving it, though. (If that was a thing?) Maybe you get it from just not making the mistake of inputting the "negative" solution first?
linusonline 25 Aug, 2022 @ 6:36am 
@Pandorum @catnip Yeah, I also don't get how to get "False Positive". I'm at the step right before applying the photo sharpener to the photographic plate. I tried in previous steps as well. I'm not allowed to interact with the puzzle more than three times.

I couldn't tell based on your description for Last Fight that you have to refuse Koshmaar's offer. I assumed that the fight was inevitable. I ended up replaying the bonus to get No More Minigames and Last Fight.
Double Dark 18 Nov, 2021 @ 6:07pm 
You can get Strike Fast from the bonus section of the game during the smoked glass part. Just click all of the symbols once.
Pandorioum 15 May, 2021 @ 10:59am 
Anyone else having an issue with getting False positive? The game only lets you select 3 of the balls instead of 4.

Thank you! I hate it when I can't just get all of the achievements on 1 go through but this game calls for you to play first with the Tutorial, then second on Expert difficulty. It's a bit much.
