In Caves of Qud, there are a total of 52 achievements awarded for completing certain tasks. Of these 52, 20 are hidden, meaning that neither the requirements for completion nor the achievement's icon are displayed until after the player has completed them. These hidden achievements are displayed further down, in a separate section from the non-hidden achievements.
These are currently only available for players playing on Steam clients.
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
Learn the complete history of a single sultan.
Learn every piece of historical gossip about the life of a single Sultan.
Gossip can be learned through a combination of viewing statues, gossiping, and looking at painted or engraved items.
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.

Gemini
Wield Caslainard and Polluxus.

Jawsnapper
Kill 100 snapjaws.
There's so many of the little buggers. Play long enough and you'll get it.
