Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan has a total of 29 Steam achievements, of these 14 are story related and the remaining 15 achievements are missable, as for completion time, this is in the region of 3-4 hours.

MAIN GAME.

• There is an achievement for completing the main game on expert difficulty, the bonus chapter you are free to play on whichever difficulty you wish.

• There is an achievement for playing the game without using the tutorial, if playing on expert difficulty (which you will need to do if you wish to 100% the game) the tutorial is disabled by default.

• There is one achievement relating to watching the first 10 cut scenes (Movie Buff) of the main game, once the achievement pops you are free to skip them if you wish to do so.

• Do not skip ANY of the mini-game puzzles during the main game (you are free to skip them in the bonus chapter if you wish to do so). There is an achievement for completing 4 in a row without skipping, another for completing all without skipping and another for completing one puzzle in less than 60 seconds. My video walkthrough at the end of this guide has time stamps for all puzzles with solutions should you require assistance with any.

• Make sure to grab all 31 collectable sigils and 6 butterflies during the main game, a full list of locations of the sigils can be found in the Healer's Sigil Collectables chapter and the Butterflies Collectables chapter lists locations of the butterflies, my video walkthrough also shows all collectable locations. There are a total of 4 achievements relating to these collectables.

• Do not use the hint button during any of the hidden object scenes, there is an achievement for completing 6 and another for completing them all without using hints and there are additional achievements for completing one scene in less than 30 seconds, another for completing a scene with less than 4 misclicks and another for locating 3 items in 3 seconds during one of the scenes.

• During the main game ensure to interact (zoom in on and click on to get a narrative text at the top of the screen) any notes, letters, diaries, scrolls etc to earn the Scholar achievement, for me this popped around halfway through the main game.

Know the Ropes.
Play without tutorial.

***MISSABLE***
The "Master Healer" achievement requires you to play the entire main game on expert difficulty and when you start the game on expert difficulty the tutorial is unavailable/disabled and so the "Know the Ropes" achievement pops after the first cut scene when starting a new game (on expert difficulty).

Health Inspector.
Find a Healer's Sigil.

***MISSABLE***
There are 31 Healer's Sigils to collect in the Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan main game (there are none in the bonus chapter) and this achievement pops after finding your first, additional achievements "Apprentice" unlocks after finding 16 sigils and "True Herbalist" unlocks after finding all 31.

For further information regarding this achievement and the locations of the sigils, please refer to the "True Herbalist" achievement guide chapter.

One Per Second.
Find 3 hidden objects within 3 seconds.

***MISSABLE***
When playing a hidden object scene you must click on three of the items listed at the bottom of the scene within 3 seconds to earn this achievement.

This is a standard hidden object game achievement which is usually earned just pausing at the start of a scene and memorising the locations of three items before clicking on them all in quick succession. In Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan several of the scenes is so simple they can be completed in mere seconds making this achievement attainable without conscious effort.

Keep Calm.
Prepare the Calming Brew.

This is a story related achievement that is earned as part of your natural progression during the main game.

Little Birdie.
Get help from a Swallow.

This is a story related achievement that is earned as part of your natural progression during the main game.

That Was Quick.
Finish minigame in less than 1 minute.

***MISSABLE***
When playing one of the mini-game puzzles in Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan, you need to complete the puzzle in less than 60 seconds to earn this achievement.

There are 23 mini-games in the main game and a further 9 in the bonus chapter, of these there are 3 or 4 puzzles (if not more) that can easily be completed very quickly. If you want to get this achievement out of the way early or are at risk of missing the achievement I have added time stamps for my video walkthrough below for all puzzles where you can seek the solution in advance, to my knowledge the puzzles solutions in Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan are not random.

I assume that it should be possible to attain this achievement in the bonus chapter as well as the main game.

True Player.
Finish 4 minigames in a row without skipping.

***MISSABLE***
To earn this achievement you must complete 4 mini-game puzzles, in a row, without skipping. If you are trying to 100% Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan you will need to complete all 23 mini-game puzzles during the main game without skipping. During the bonus chapter, you are free to skip if you wish to do so.

If you need help with any of the mini-game puzzle solutions I have added time stamps for all puzzles in my video walkthrough at the end of this guide.

Fresh Air.
Enter the Garden.

This is a story related achievement that is earned as part of your natural progression during the main game.

Entomophobia.
Scare 6 butterflies.

***MISSABLE***
As well as Healer's Sigil collectables there are also butterflies that you are supposed to "scare" that are also technically collectables. When you click on the butterflies, they fly off, but after a short time they fly back on screen, don't worry if they reappear on screen, as long as you click on them it counts towards your achievement total, although clicking on the same butterfly only counts as one towards your total.

I only found 12 butterflies during my playthrough, but I recall during editing my video walkthrough that I overlooked at least one butterfly, and you only need to click on 6 of these to earn the achievement.

I have added screen shots of the butterfly locations in the "Butterflies Collectables" chapter of this guide and in my video walkthrough at the end of this guide I have added time stamps for the locations of all collectables.

Like a wind.
Finish HO in less than 30 seconds.

***MISSABLE***
There are 18 hidden object scenes in in the main game and a further 8 in the bonus chapter, during one of those scenes you must locate all the items listed at the bottom of the scene and complete the scene within 30 seconds.

I earned this achievement playing the 2nd hidden object scene without conscious effort, if you do miss this during the main game fear not, there are a couple of scenes in the bonus chapter that are among the easiest scenes I've ever seen in a hidden object game that take less than 10 seconds to complete.

Surgical Aim.
Finish HO with less than 4 mistaps.

***MISSABLE***
There are just 18 hidden object scenes in the main game and a further 8 in the bonus chapter, during one of those scenes you must locate all the items listed at the bottom of the screen with no more than 4 mistaps/misclicks (a misclick is clicking on anything in the scene that isn't in the list of items to locate).

Should you find that you are approaching the end of the game and have not unlocked this achievement, my video walkthrough at the end of this guide has time stamps for all hidden object scenes where you can prime yourself in advance of item locations to ensure you do not miss this achievement.

Row Your Boat.
Prepare the swan boat for the journey.

This is a story related achievement that is earned as part of your natural progression during the main game.

Discover 20 clues (diaries, letters, etc.).

***MISSABLE***
This achievement unlocks after locating/reading 20 "clues" which take the form of scraps of paper, notes, diaries, scrolls, letters etc, etc, etc during the main game.

For me this achievement popped about half way through the main game, as a precaution ensure to click on the "clue", not just zoom in on it so that a narrative on the item appears at the top of the screen.

Eagle Eye.
Finish 6 HO in a row without hints.

***MISSABLE***
If you are trying to 100% Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan, do not use the hint button during any of the hidden object scenes in the main game (you are free to use hints in the scenes in the bonus chapter) and after the 6th scene in the main game this achievement will pop.
