🏆 100% Completion Checklist - All 38 Achievements

The 38 achievements split cleanly: 20 are story achievements tied to named quests (do the quests, get the achievements — and the ending wants all 41 main plus 51 character quests anyway), and 18 are counting milestones you accumulate by playing everything: 100 trees, 50 burials, 50 resurrections, 150 inspirations and friends. The efficient plan is to let the counters ride along while you quest, then sweep the stragglers after the story. Nothing here needs a second playthrough — one thorough run plus a cleanup phase covers all 38.

These unlock in quest order as you work the main and character chains. The route through them is simply the walkthrough: escape and set up (A New Beginning, Two Faces), meet the cast (A Man of Many Talents, A Little Magic), fight your first battle (First Blood at First... Sludge?), and ride the chain to The End of the Journey at The Last Battle. Two worth flagging: Back to Life needs one of the two cheapest houses restored (the 4/3/1 or 6/4/2 kit builds), and The Ancient One hinges on the Friend or Foe choice with the Red Eye.

• Follow the main chain — most story achievements cannot be missed by a completing run.
• Back to Life: restore one of the two cheapest houses (4 Building Kit I + 3 Wooden Kit I + 1 Iron Kit I, or the 6/4/2 house).
• The Ancient One: complete Friend or Foe (Red Eye decision).
• The End of the Journey: finish The Last Battle.

These are pure counters, and every one of them moves whenever you play the relevant system. The big ones to watch early: Stroke of Genius wants 150 inspirations, Alcohol Baron wants 100 brewed drinks across beer, Soldier's ale, mead, cider and wine, and Necromancer wants 50 resurrections — Reanimation Liquid supply is the real bottleneck there, so keep Gunter and the Alchemist on your route. Urban Planner (15 of 16 houses repaired) and Patron of Merchants (11 Tier I shops) piggyback on restoration naturally.

Play the story first and let counters accumulate — questing alone clears most of the 20 story flags and chips every counter. From mid-game, start closing deliberate gaps: the resource counters (100 bronze ingots, 100 iron ingots) finish themselves if you keep smithing for orders; the social ones (50 sermons, 25 town orders) just need calendar discipline; and the slowest grinds — 50 resurrections and 150 inspirations — deserve a standing weekly slot rather than an endgame marathon. Land The Last Battle with a handful of counters left, sweep them in the endgame Town, and the 38/38 screenshot is yours.
