This article is a guide for achieving various accomplishments in the game ‘Honey, I Joined a Cult’. It provides a list of achievements and step-by-step instructions on how to unlock them.
Part 1
Complete the tutorial.
- Do not turn off the introduction and complete the tutorial.
Complete a mission.
- You will get this achievement naturally at your first hour.
Experience a protest or raid.
- Another easy achievement. Having a high heat will yield result of a protest. Your heat should be 150-200 to be able get this achievement which should not be a problem.
Place 100 total decor items.
- This achievement is cumulative; so, there is no need for you to rush but if you want that, you can save and place decor items. 30k should be enough for getting it.
Reach 750 PR in a single save.
- This one is much easier than it looks. Doing the PR missions daily should be sufficient but you can use the propaganda room for boosting PR. Be careful of succeeding missions, since you can lose PR.
Remove a trait or quirk using the ministry of alteration.
- You can research this room around middle game and after that you can remove a trait that you do not want.
Experience 5 mood breaks.
- It should not be hard, just play the game naturally. If you have any problem with this, you can ignore their needs.
Research 50 unlocks in the research tree.
- Probably you will get this achievement at your first playthrough. You do not have to research all of the technologies to be able to get this achievement.
Recruit a cultist of Good quality or higher.
- You can recruit the special recruits for this achievement by researching from the theme menu or you can recruit someone after increasing your PR. To be able to find the recruits’ quality, research the Pool of Revelation and use it.
Collect a total of 50 decorative objects.
- You can use object missions for this achievement, while some of the other missions also yield decorative objects. Therefore, this achievement will be pretty easy.
Have a room achieve maximum prestige level (20).
- You can use the decorative objects you have found for this achievement. Finale Room will have a lot of high-quality items which means that you can use that room for this achievement. If you do not want to wait, just save the game and use quality decorative items at one of the big rooms.
Dismiss cultists or followers 50 times.
- Self-explanatory. Get rid of the weaker cultist and get better ones or just get rid of the followers whenever you have maximum.
Reach maximum cultist count including special characters.
- Even though it says including special characters, I got this achievement without them and not researching the last upgrade for cultist count. You can increase your maximum cultist count by recruiting special characters from your selected theme (3 maximum), by researching (21 maximum without other characters) or by mission (encountered only 1 cultist which can be recruited from a mission). Maximum cultist count is 25.
Complete a 5 star sermon.
- You can use the easier difficulty for this achievement. To be able to get this achievement, you need to make your leader happy. Decent meal, good prestige levels for rooms that he visits (including outside or corridors; so, make one big building with no corridors.), entertainment options and good hygiene level will be necessary.
Reach maximum follower count.
- Maximum follower count is 44. You need to research upgrades and reach 44 followers to get the achievement.
Collect $1 Million cumulative.
- You will get this achievement at your first playthrough probably. Since finale items are around 200k for each ending, you will get this without even trying.
Part 2
Construction Specialist Build every non-theme room in a single save.
- There are 26 non-theme rooms in game. You will be able to research all of them without a problem.
Generate 100,000 faith cumulative.
- Again, probably you will get this achievement at your first playthrough without a problem. Do not worry about it, since sermons get you a lot of faith.
Place 50 outdoor furnishings.
- Outdoor furnishings are pretty much useless. Save the game when you have 15k and place these. This achievement is cumulative; so, you do not have to rush. Also, there is an event which gives some discount on these items but you will encounter this later while you have plenty money.
Complete 15 leader demand quests.
- Time to time you will get some demands from the leader like placing four statues or placing some decor items. Most of them will be about research and new rooms. Even though, these demands are limited, you should be able to get this achievement at your first playthrough.
Trigger any Finale.
- This achievement is pretty straight forward. Choose one of three themes, go through with the divine research and gather special points (maximum is 2.000 and you should get that much. There is a divine research for an item which gives points for every sermon. This helps a lot for point gathering.) at the same time, lastly gather the items from special missions to be able to build these items to finale room, do not forget to complete theme related specials like complete 20 incense, 12 love room, etc. Then, trigger the finale.
Generate 300 PR via the ministry of propaganda.
- You will be able to research this room later. However, this room works at night. Therefore, give priority to this room and arrange a cultist to work at nights.
Have a cult fail on its journey.
- Allow Heat to increase. Once it is 1000, you will fail.
Complete a total of 100 missions.
- Since you are going to finish the game 3 times, you will be able to do this achievement without even trying.
Have the entire cult at very good quality or higher. Minimum of 5 cultists.
- There are 3 special character that you can unlock. However, you will need the Alteration Room with an upgrade. You can upgrade your cultists’ quality to very good from this room. After having 5 people with very good or higher quality, save the game and get rid of the other people.
Recruit 50 cultists total.
- Pretty easy. If you want this achievement early, get rid of the cultists you have recruited and recruit some more.
Use leader abilities 50 times.
- It is not really hard but you have to remember using leader abilities, since you won’t need these abilities. Use the extra influence time to time.
Trigger a Futurist Finale.
- This is one of the themes. Research the theme room, build it, save the game before choosing your theme, choose this one. After that gain points by missions, researches or with sermon upgrade. You will unlock object acquiring missions after 1000 points; unlock the missions and complete them. Place these expensive items, while doing the required specials. Lastly, trigger the finale.
Trigger a Peace & Love Finale.
- This is one of the themes. Research the theme room, build it, save the game before choosing your theme, choose this one. After that gain points by missions, researches or with sermon upgrade. You will unlock object acquiring missions after 1000 points; unlock the missions and complete them. Place these expensive items, while doing the required specials. Lastly, trigger the finale.
Trigger a Darkness Finale.
- This is one of the themes. Research the theme room, build it, save the game before choosing your theme, choose this one. After that gain points by missions, researches or with sermon upgrade. You will unlock object acquiring missions after 1000 points; unlock the missions and complete them. Place these expensive items, while doing the required specials. Lastly, trigger the finale.
Collect 100,000 Influence cumulative.
- This is the most time-consuming achievement in the game. I was half-way through this achievement, when I got all of the other achievements. So, this achievement will take some time and will be annoying, since the game pauses itself on daily basis at least.
