Introduction
NOTE: Guide published 18 August 2024. It is a work-in-progress and will continue to be updated. I will update this section with update notes as I continue to work through writing achievements. Guide currently covers 53/157 of the achievements.
Howdy! Welcome to my first ever Steam guide! This guide focuses on how to “knock out” all 157 achievements in Knock On The Coffin Lid, and includes the easiest and quickest way to achieve it! Please note this guide contains spoilers.
Boss Achievements
Story Achievements can be completed on any character, class, difficulty, and build. Please note that final map bosses in the Frontier, Rotten Bog, Crimson Wastes, and the Northern Gate are randomised each run, so it may take a few runs to successfully find and defeat all of them. There are currently 3 final boss variations for each area.
Section 1: Story Bosses
Story Bosses only need to be encountered and defeated to obtain the achievement. I’ve listed them in order of appearance by map for convenience.
