A categorized list of all base game and DLC achievements with requirements. Refine strategy, embrace the challenge, and may fortune favor the bold as you venture ever deeper into the dark. Story Progression AchievementRequirementA Place to Lay Your HeadReach the first InnUnshackledComplete Denial (Act 1)Hot AirComplete Resentment (Act 2)Eyes UpComplete Obsession (Act 3)HandledComplete Ambition (Act 4)Body of WorkComplete Cowardice (Act 5)Grand SlamDefeat all 5 Confessions with same heroes, no deathsHard ModeDefeat final boss with Stygian Blaze equipped Grand Slam (Complete all 5 Confessions with the same team, no deaths) Use a team capable of healing, stress management, and dealing damage to every rank: common choices are Man-at-Arms (tank), Plague Doctor (healing), Highwayman or Jester (damage), and Occultist or Flagellant (flex support). Do the acts in this recommended order: 3-5-4-2-1. Act 3 is generally the hardest, so finish it early to avoid losing progress on easier acts. Leave the simplest for last. Avoid unnecessary risks: skip lairs unless needed, take safe roads, and focus on resource and team health. Remember that hero deaths or replacements invalidate the achievement run. Max out hero skills and assign memories for extra stats. Avoid negative quirks and stress spikes by using the Field Hospital and controlling relationships. Hard Mode (Defeat final boss with Stygian Blaze equipped) The Stygian Blaze (Infernal Flame) increases difficulty by removing the flame – this means no positive stagecoach effects and more frequent, harder cultist fights. Build a survivable, high-damage party and prioritize stress healing, as breakdowns are deadlier with this mode active. Pick routes that grant field hospitals for recovery and avoid excessive battles unless strictly necessary. Save your best trinkets (including indelible, Hoarder-bought ones) for this final push.

Plan your expedition so you can route through three different lairs, and time resource use accordingly. Use a team with reach (able to hit back-row enemies), self-sustain, and disease/blight resist, since some lair bosses specialize in negative effects. Don't underestimate combat items: use stuns, blinds, and healing drafts to outlast each boss.

Regularly spend on inn items and combat items that raise or lower affinity as needed.

The pet reduces regular location scouting, making ambushes more likely. To force a Shambler encounter, let the wagon's flame drop below 30 or find a Shambler Altar at an Academic Study. Be prepared: the Shambler is highly dangerous. Pack AoE healing, stress recovery, and damage mitigation skills before triggering the fight.

Path carefully: prioritize Field Hospitals, Oasis, and safe nodes for risk mitigation. Know the boss mechanics of each Act; bring region-appropriate resist items and trinkets for defensive edge. Always monitor and adjust team composition based on upcoming threats: swap abilities whenever possible, not just for lair bosses but also to handle region challenges and road ambushes. Be ready to abandon a run rather than risk breaking a no-death, no-swap streak for big achievements.
