This gaming guide will help you complete 94% of the achievements in Dread Delusion without any spoilers. However, please note that 3 out of the 58 achievements are currently bugged and cannot be obtained.
Preface
3 achievements appear to be bugged and cannot be unlocked. They’re listed at the end of the guide.
Yes. There are two sets of mutually exclusive story achievements, multiple mutually exclusive achievements tied to side quests, and an achievement that requires to reach a certain point of the game without dying.
Two. Or one, if you backup your savefile at the right points (which you should probably do either way, considering the amount of bugs in the game).
I. Just Don’t Die LoL
Iron WillMissable!
This achievement requires to reach a certain part of the game (the second encounter with Vela in the Underlands) without ever dying before. This is easier to achieve than it might sound, as enemies in the game barely deal any damage. If you happen to die it definitely won’t be in combat.
Keep Return Home spell equipped to be able to save yourself from fatal falls, make sure not to stand directly below any descending elevators, and maybe also occasionally backup your savefile – in case floor collision decides to take a break from its job.
II. Story Achievements
