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 On the Rocks, will kill the player (or have other highly undesirable effects). In these cases, using
Precognition or, if you are True Kin, a
sphynx salt injector before dying will still award the achievement. It is also possible to use
Domination to obtain some (but not all) of these achievements by killing the player-controlled creature instead of the player character.
These are currently only available for players playing on Steam clients.
