Updated the Leap, Frog achievement to be accurate to the expanded requirements that were added in 204.83. Also cut the reference to the frog faction, since svardym are filed under beasts. Added mention of the utility of completing Landing Pads to Peekaboo. Fixed some capitalization issues.

In ''Caves of Qud'', there are a total of 100 Steam achievements awarded for completing certain tasks. Of these 100, 35 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:''' Many achievements, such as [[Achievements#On The Rocks|On The Rocks]], will kill the player (or have other highly undesirable effects). In these cases, using {{favilink|Precognition}} or, if you are [[True Kin]], a {{Favilink|sphynx salt injector}} before dying will still award the achievement. It is also possible to use {{favilink|Domination}} to obtain some (but not all) of these achievements by killing the player-controlled creature instead of the player character.

Killing Svenlainard is, for obvious reasons, an expedient. He is not affiliated with the Village of {{favilink|Kyakukya}}, so you do not need to worry about others joining in the fight unless you have area of effect moves. However, {{favilink|Domination|dominating}} him and forcing him to drop his swords also works.

| notes = Perform the water ritual with a [[Frogs|frog]] or [[svardym]] and have them teach you [[Jump]].


As of game version 2.0.203.31, no creatures other than an ice frog or a bloated pearlfrog will count for this achievement. Finding one can be tricky; your best bet is likely to be looking for the lair of an ice frog in the {{Favilink | jungle}} or a bloated pearlfrog in the {{Favilink | deep jungle}}.
