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.
Note that many achievements, such as On The Rocks, will kill the player. In these cases, using Precognition or, if you are True Kin, a Sphinx Salt injector(favilink error!) before dying will still award the achievement.
These are currently only available for players playing on Steam clients.
