It’s the mandatory Achievement Hunter guide for those who want to get those achievements. Is it a good guide? Nope.Is it helpful? It sure could be!I hope you enjoy!
Killing things

Play the game and defeat the stage bosses in the different stages below. Each gives their own achivement.
Forest
Flesh Golem
Warden Grainloch
Sporelord Rotwood
Bloodsap
Depths
Chancellor Autlaic
Bilee
Velya
Castle
Midnight Gatekeeper
Soulus
Ebon King
End of time
Wulfgar and Osmer
Dancing Dragon

Keeper of Souls
Defeat Enemies
Defeat the listed enemies below, most of these are found in several levels. But all of them are in Linden Forest at least I think.
1000 skeletons
1000 flies
500 zombies
Kill mimics: 5, 50
Mimics are the chests that grow leg and hunt you down, they are common on most maps but even more common on stages when you kindle the bonfire. Maybe the stump mimics in Linden forest counts?
Fly Swatter
In Linden Forest. Every once in a while a swarm of fly typ enemies will travel swiftly across the screen instead of using their normal “slowly approach” behaviour. Use a good AoE and defeat all of them for this achievement.
Defeat Nibbler
Nibbler is the huge rat in the Usvit Depths. By defeating enough rats Nibbler will spawn. I usually get around 3 spawns during a Depths run. Here’s the thing though, once it shows up it will chase you. But once it attacks you the first time it will run away and pick up speed the longer it goes. I’ve only managed to defeat it by using a bit of an exploit mentioned in a thread here on Steam. You kite it. You don’t let Nibbler close enough to attack you. If it doesn’t attack – it won’t run away.
Nibbler’s Cheese
Like the one above about Nibbler, but instead let it reach you and take a bite. It’ll drop the cheese and then flee. Then simply walk on that cheese.
Achievements Defeat Invaders
The invaders are the pure red humanoid enemies. A nod towards the Soulsborne series. I’m not entirely sure what triggers the spawns of these invaders. But I think it’s releated to souls collected or something else. When I’m doing badly (such as trying a new class for the first time), they don’t seem to spawn. But when I’m doing my best to complete a stage they always show up. So it could be related to souls and gold collected? Damage taken? If you purchase a Perk from the blue perk wizard at the start?
Forest: Lord Cerveris (does not have an achievement)
Depths: ???
Castle: Lady Nox
End of Time: Dancing Dragon
Defeat the Ebon King without evading
Another tricky one. The Ebon King of Usvit Castle can dish out a lot of damage. So either get a lot of survivability through heals and defense such as the Blood Maiden or the Bogatyr. The other option is to get a lot of mobility through movement speed etc. so you don’t need to use the dodge roll and simply walk away from the boss. And don’t use the Shadow Monk.
Character Things
Max all talents for X
Kinda obvious, play a character enough to put points into all talents. You will need a total of 4250 exp to fully upgrade a character’s talents. There is an achievement for each class.
Hit 1000 enemies with the flail
As the Necromancer. Doesn’t seem to be in a single run, but place points into things that improve the flail, grab the power up that increases size of it and get the cooldown reduction on level up.
Pick up 100 flesh piles
As the Necromancer. This needs to be done in a single run, but shouldn’t be a problem since you want to walk on them to restore health after all. The flesh piles are the meaty bone things that occasionally drop from defeated enemies when playing this class.
Kill 1000 enemies with fire
Not sure what counts as fire as I got this while playing the Necromancer. But the most obvious candidate is the Pyrmancer who has plenty of fire to go around.
Collections
Collect souls: 1000. 10,000. 100,000. 1,000,000
Play the game, honestly this is the way. There is a cool event in the Castle with a tombstone that drops a lot of souls when hit, maybe that could be an effective strategy? Or to have a maxed Necromancer standing around Linden Forest since the skeletons can collect souls for you. Let the game run and grab yourself a sandwich and see how it goes.
The Pyromancer has a talent that gives an enemy a chance to drop a black soul which gives 3x the amount of exp of a normal blue soul but unsure if it still counts as one soul.
There is a counter for this in the top left of the title screen.
Collect 500 gold in a single run
You need to hold 500 gold, not just in total. So just put off buying items until you get this. This is kinda easy if you kindle the bonfire since that increases gold drop. There is also a passive ability on level up which increases gold drop, and a power up that makes enemies killed generate gold.
Discover 15 tomes of knowledge
Not really a collection but you know, I didn’t really know where to put this one.
What are tomes of knowledge? Check out this other guide I made:
Stages and Runs
Use 3 sacrifice altars
The sacrifical altars usually don’t show up as a notification on the map, but you can find them near the other events. They are large white/golden altars with a chalice. Interact with it and sacrifice half of your hp to gain a random active ability upgrade.
Use 3 cursed altars
The cursed altars show up as notifications and message. They look like a statue of a hooded figure. Interact with it to get a temporary curse and a artifact as a reward if you survive long enough.
Survive curses: 5, 10
After defeating the end boss of a stage you can start a cursed run before ending the run. Survive long enough to have 10 different curses active at the same time. You get a new curse every X minutes while doing this.
Kindle the Flame and Defeat the End Boss of X
When you play a stage for the second time you will see a new NPC at the spawning area. It’s the same NPC who shows up after defeating the final boss to initiate curses. But here at the start of the stage you can instead “Kindle” the flame which will activate a Hard Mode of some kind. Enemies move faster, there is greater enemy density, new elite enemies show up etc. There is an achievement for each stage.
Break 10 Gargoyle Statues
In Usvit Castle. These are the large statues that take around 4 hits to destroy that can be found in the middle layer mostly up towards the wall with the staircases. Destroy enough of them to unlock the achievement.
Take no damage for: 5, 10 min
These two are tricky, not only do you need to stay alert, you probably will need to defeat the first boss of the stage as well.
I’d suggest the depths. The elites that spawn there aren’t too annoying and you can usually navigate around the shieldwalls and mouse rushes unlike other stages.
