Achievements
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.
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
|
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. |
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, 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. |
Donation Level: Kasaphescence
|
Make an offering at the Sacred Well of an artifact worth at least 200 reputation.
Throw an artifact worth 200 reputation or more into the Sacred well. Timecubes and Phase cannons are the only artifacts 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, 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
