Missing Uncertain loyalties, have a pale mask as a member of your trek

Pacifism Ain't Easy
I fought the rival in Ch.1, the pirates for discounts and killed Malin at last. I did not get this achievement, even if these guys are not dead after the battles

Hidden achievements:
- A familiar figure: In director mode, choose the inspector from the added difficulty things the clubs present you with at the end of the year. Get into combat, let the inspector die and then run away. He will reappear once you complete the island, triggering the achievement.

- Now I've seen it all: See all campaign mode endings (I think there are 3: kill Malin, save Malin, get help from the natives).

- It's not too late: Return a pale mask trek member to normal. I read in the forum that you need to steal the mask from a Pale Mask village leader to do this, have not tried it myself.

Whenever you have a non-human(salamander/mole/yeti) and they fall in love with another species. (Need 2 different species in your party for this to occur)
vonSchwarze 4 Feb, 2024 @ 6:53am 
For the "Everything is Fine" fill your party with 2 human (or anyone that can get mental ailments) and fill the rest with animal. Just feed your party hallucinogenic toad every time you find one. If the ailment is too hard to contain (like Alcoholic or Acrophobia) cure them one by one by visiting the Royal Avalon Society. Don't cure them with Introspection Mushroom or the Shaman Hut event, since it would wipe them clean.

"A Gentle Beast" event happen when you VISIT a Waterfall or Oasis (not Spring), it doesn't happen when you rest. You can probably go in and out the rest spot to force the event.

For "Now I've Seen it All", one of the final choice that will get you the ending require you to befriend the islander in the last island, probably around 5-6 is enough. Just visit the village and do their quest or give them present while trading before entering the last place

Finally got all the achievement for this game.

For the "It's Complicated", if you got the Robot of Lux DLC while your starter companions counts as new species, your character (Piper Faraday) counts as human, so the achievement won't pop if she hook out with another human/islander.

For the "Abominable Hunger" you need to turn one of your party member into an Abomination, by one of the insanity event that give your companion "Strange Biting Mark", walk around some more until you get a catastrophic event that will turn that companion into an abomination, walk around some more until you get an event that abomination is eating another party member.

The robots from Robot of Lux DLC are considered a different species from human, so you can get the It's Complicated achievement when a human/islander companion and a robot become lovers while resting anywhere.

For the "Now I've seen it all" cheevo, how do you make the native take the staff and the cristal ? There's no option from what I've seen to ask the native about it, nor can I go to the village before going to Malin.
AeonLilith 6 Feb, 2023 @ 11:20am 
Abominations occur when you have a party member receive a "Mysterious Bite" after an insanity event, then don't heal them before a certain amount of time passes . They'll transform into an abomination (can even occur with undead skeletons, at least it did for me) after a while, the abomination will hunger. If you have any food on you, it will eat a unit of food every few days (10 maybe?) and it won't stop. You'll have to let it eat all your food, or just drop all your food, at which point I assume it will still be hungry and try to eat a party member. At which point you'll either have to let it, or fight it. Choose to let it and bob's your uncle. I said assume because I chose to dismiss my abomination before learning there was an achievement for doing this, so now I feel like an idiot. But I'm pretty sure I"m right about that last part.

Just unlocked the "It's complicated" achievement. I unlocked it when my party leader developed a love for a non-human companion (here, a Tanuki).
