Welcome to the ultimate guide for mastering all achievements in Steelrising! Before we dive in, there are a few things to know. First, some achievements can be missed if you don’t complete certain tasks before reaching a certain point in the storyline. Also, there are a few achievements that are mutually exclusive, meaning you can’t get them all in one playthrough. To get them all, you’ll need to manually unload your saves. And don’t forget, saving in the game is automatic. Just a heads up, Versailles is the last mission, so make sure you’ve completed all side quests before starting it. Once you finish that mission, you won’t be able to go back and continue the game. But don’t worry, you can always start a new save or continue in NG+ mode. One last thing, there is an assist mode to make the game easier, but it may prevent you from getting some achievements. And don’t stress about using an oil burette for health

Combat
* Grenadier – Defeat 25 enemies with grenades.
Achievement is unattainable in assist mode. Any grenades count.
* Stealth itself – Surprise 20 enemies with stealth attacks.
Sneak up behind the enemy and hit him. Grab the target [MMB], when the target indicator turns red, then hit the target [LMB]. If a health bar appears above the enemy – he saw you, you can’t hit him anymore. This achievement can be obtained using assist mode.
* Eagle-eyed – Hit 20 hidden enemies.
I farmed this achievement in La Cite location Place Saint-Merri area. In the center, at the well there are 2 enemies. They will start attacking if you approach them. Shoot them with your musket and run to the carriage to respawn the enemies. You need to hit the enemy who is hiding from above on tree/buildings, behind a corner, etc. If a health bar appears above the enemy – he saw you, you can’t hit him anymore.
* David vs. Goliath – Kill an enemy with a cobblestone.
Achievement is unattainable in assist mode. The cobblestone only deals 1 damage. The cobble must be used to kill the enemy. Deal maximum damage with your weapon and finish off the enemy with a cobblestone throw.
* Cold-Blooded – Perform 10 Perfect Cooldowns.
You must have a Frost Resistance Vial in your inventory to perform a perfect cooldown. Once your stamina bar is completely empty you will start to recharge it, you must press [E] to use Frost Resistance Vial. Use Frost Resistance Vial 10 times when the bar just starts to fill up after recharging.
* Positively Shocking – Electrocute enemies 100 times.
* Ms Freeze – Freeze enemies 100 times.
* Pyromaniac – Ignite enemies 100 times.
You do elemental damage with weapons, throwing grenades and with special attacks.
* The Aegis – Block 50 attack impacts with a shield special move.
* Musketeer – Kill 20 enemies with a ranged shot.
* Untouchable – Perform 50 counterattacks.
In your inventory, you can view what special attack the weapon has. You need to find a weapon that has Shield, Ranged Attack and Counterattack. The special attack is activated with the [Q] key. One of the weapons required for these 3 achievements you get when picking a class at the start of the game. The other 2 can be found in chests or bought at vestals.
* Finish him – Immobilise 70 enemies
Immobilization takes place when an enemy’s white lock-on icon fills up completely. To fill it up, first to lock on an enemy and then repeatedly attack it with or attacks. When the icon is full, a small light sparkle will surround the enemy indicating that it’s been immobilized.
* AoE specialist – Perform 10 attacks affecting 3 enemies at once.
* Collateral damage – Have an enemy be killed by a direct hit from another enemy 5 times.
Aegis
* Completionist – Finish the game without using the Oil Burette (after the tutorial).
You will not get this achievement if you play in assist mode. Oil Burette restores health instantly. You must complete the story campaign without using oil burette. You can regenerate your health at vestals or with a small oiler. The small oiler restores health gradually over 20 seconds.
You can complete this achievement on a repeat playthrough by simply speedruning the storyline. Unstable automats can be run through, the battle with them is optional. Either by completing only 1 playthrough, after defeating the very first enemy you will be suggested to put an oil burette in the quick access slot – don’t do it.
- Use your musket to freeze the enemy and then attack them;
- Run through all the locations and ignore the enemies. While running, switch weapons to avoid wasting stamina. The weapon switching animation does not waste stamina, but the weapon switching animation is performed at the same time as the running animation;
- Purchase grenades and spam story bosses with grenades;
- Use disassemble token to fast travel last used vestal or carriage.
* Technician – Equip 4 level 3 modules.
You need to install 4 modules of level 3 to get this achievement. But to install modules, you need to upgrade all slots to level 3. The slots are upgraded in vestal using module keys. Keys can be collected from dead cars (the ones that are dead from the start, not the ones you destroy). Open chests and collect loot on the map. There are more keys in the game world than are required for the achievement. You can always buy keys from vestals.
- 1lvl – 1 key
- 2lvl – 3 keys
- 3lvl – 5 keys
A total 36 modular keys will be needed.
Level 3 modules can be bought from vestal or picked up after destroying unstable automatons.
* Blacksmith – Upgrade a weapon from each of the 7 classes to level 5.
Upgrade resources only drop from bosses. Resources are limited, so first upgrade the weapons needed for the achievement. There are 7 weapon classes in total: claws, chains, dual blades, fans, heavy weapons, mallets and muskets. You can know which weapon class it relates to by the way Aegis holds the weapon in the preview in the inventory. If you spent resources on the same weapon, you can get resources to upgrade in NG+ and upgrade the remaining weapons. Weapons are upgraded in vestals.
Collectible:
* Stabiliser – Defeat all unstable Automats.
Unstable automats are mini-bosses that need to be destroyed. If you defeat unstable automats, you will get upgrades for your modules.
