Non-Hidden Achievements
A Bond Knit with Trust
Become loved by a faction. | |
Through some method, gain a reputation of +700 or more with one of the in-game Factions.
This can generally be achieved most easily by becoming loved by the player's starting village, as the player can water-ritual with the Mayor, the town's Warden, and the town's Questgiver. From there, one must either kill creatures disliked by the village, perform a Water Ritual with creatures liked by the village, or use Schrodinger pages from the Annals of Qud to increase their reputation further. |
Biographer
Cubic and Wisest Human
Activate a time cube. | |
Come into possession of a timecube, and then activate it. A timecube is one of the few Artifacts which can earn the achievement Donation Level: Kasaphescence when cast down into the sacred well.
Thus, if you have it, it is a good idea to use Precognition (or a Sphinx salt injector(favilink error!), if you are True Kin) before activating your timecube, so that you can earn the achievement and still have a timecube to cast into the sacred well. |
Dark Tidings
Forsee your own death. | |
Die while using the Precognition mutation or, if you are a True Kin, die while using a Sphinx salt injector(favilink error!). |
Donation Level: Kasaphescence
Make an offering at the Sacred Well of an artifact worth at least 200 reputation. | |
Main article: Sacred well
Throw an artifact worth 200 reputation or more into the Sacred well. A timecube or phase cannon is the only artifact valuable enough to gain 200 reputation when cast into the well. If you have it, it is a good idea to use Precognition (or a Sphinx salt injector(favilink error!), if you are True Kin) before offering to the well so that you can gain the achievement and still keep your artifact. |
Eat an Entire Bear
Kill a bear and eat it. Just eat an entire bear. | |
Kill a bear and eat its corpse raw by picking up the Bear corpse, waiting until you are famished or hungrier, and choosing to eat it.
Players with the Carnivorous mutation need not wait until they are famished. |
Friend to Fungi
Host 3 different fungal infections at once. | |
This can be easily done by walking near three different color broodpuffs. Make sure that one fungal infection already grows before walking into the next one, as itchy skin does not stack and walking into more spores will not change the infection type. |
Gemini
Wield Caslainard and Polluxus. | |
Kill Svenlainard, Trophy Hunter and wield his two swords. He is not affiliated with the Village of Kyakukya, so you do not need to worry about others joining in the fight unless you have area of effect moves. |

Kill Mamon Souldrinker and equip the amaranthine prism that he drops. |

Jawsnapper
Kill 100 snapjaws. | |
There's so many of the little buggers. Play long enough and you'll get it. |
Knight Conical
Recover Stopsvalinn. | |
The location of Stopsvalinn can be easily gotten from trading secrets from the Barathrumites or Trolls. |
Leap, Frog.
Convince a frog to teach you how to jump. | |
This is a very rare achievement due to based mostly on the random chance that you will come across a legendary frog lair, and have enough reputation for them to teach you Jump. ice frog lairs are generally located in the Jungle biome. |
Love at First Sign
Fall in love with a sign. | |
Mouse control is required for this achievement, as looking through keyboard forces the cursor to center on yourself, making you fall in love with yourself instead. Turn on mouse controls, apply love injector, and right click a sign to look at it. |
