Secret Achievements [Heavy Spoilers]
By Vaweila
Hello everyone,
this is a list/guide of all the 15 secret achievements currently in the game. Just before I get started I want to state something. These secret achievements are not hard to get as they are meant to be funny easter eggs. So, knowing how to get them probably takes out the fun for some people. You've been warned!

Here we go..

Secret Achievements
Liberty or Death
Short Description: Decline a peace offer while fighting for your last province.
How to get: You need the enemy to offer peace to you while you simultaneously are in a battle for your last province. You then have to decline that peace offer.

Columbus
Short Description: Have an army at the left border of the map.
How to get: Just send an army to the left border of the map.

He Made It Out
Short Description: Your marshal was was killed by the arrows of a city or keep.
How to get: Send a knight without any units near an enemy city or keep. The city/keep will start shooting arrows on the army and since no units are in the army, the knight will either die or be imprisoned. Try it until the knight dies.

Forth Eorlingas
Short Description: Break a siege with your king.
How to get: Wait until an enemy sieges one of your provinces. Then send your king in an army to break the siege.

In Our Darkest Hour
Short Description: Become a vassal.
How to get: Just offer vassalage to anybody until somebody accepts.

Freeeedom
Short Description: As Scotland, claim independence.
How to get: Since Scotland doesn't start as a vassal, you first have to become a vassal and then claim independence afterwards.

Crom I Have Never Prayed
Short Description: As a pagan adopt the believes 'Heroes' and 'Battles'.
How to get: Start as a pagan realm. Adopt both pagan believes 'Heroes' and 'Battles'.

Ragnarok
Short Description: As a pagan adopt the believes 'Ocean' and 'Raids'.
How to get: Start as a pagan realm. Adopt both pagan believes 'Ocean' and 'Raids'.

A Leinster Always Pays
Short Description: While playing as Leinster, offer and give someone gold.
How to get: Start the game as Leinster. Collect gold until you can 'Offer Gold' to another realm.

You Dare Challenge
Short Description: Declare war against 'Salamanca'.
How to get: This one is tricky, as there is no 'Salamanca' in any game start. You have to use your spies until you are able to bribe the governor of the province 'Salamanca'. If the governor is bribed, after some time a spy action will become available to 'Back Independency'. If this spy action goes through, the governor will form a new independent realm called 'Salamanca'. Then you only have to declare war against them.

What Weve Got
Short Description: Start a war because your inheritance claim was declined.
How to get: Marry your king or prince to a princess. If the father of the princess dies before her spouse dies or becomes irrelevant (brother of king), you'll get a message to claim lands. The other realm has to decline your claim, which results into a war.

Tis But A Scratch
Short Description: Have one of your level 15 character killed.
How to get: Earn enough books to make one of your characters level 15. Then get them killed. Easiest with marshal as you just have to run into an unwinable battle without units.

Vlad The Impaler
Short Description: Execute 10 prisoners in a single game.
How to get: Pretty easy as you get tons of prisoners from rebellions, wars and witch hunts. Just execute every prisoner you have.

Do You Read?
Short Description: Have 3 rebellions in your realm at the same time.
How to get: Just play bad and don't do anyhting against instability. But have enough (will)power to stay in the game and fight rebellions. Also, play at least on normal difficulty as otherwise 3 rebellions can't even spawn at the same time.

I Started A Joke
Short Description: Fail an emperor of the world vote you started yourself.
How to get: Gain 5000 fame. You should be able to Claim Emperor of the world if you have 5000 fame and are a great power. Fail that vote by not being liked by the other great powers.

Tried to do Liberty or Dead on hard with one province, been in war with neighburs, they siege me, but no peace offer.

Made it! This time it remade as province of Salamanca, thank youuu!

Thats strange, it worked for me that way. Are you sure that you bribed the govenor of that specific province?

There is another way, if you have a friend to play multiplayer with. There is a starting option, where everyone starts with one province only. Let your friend pick Salamanca as his/her one province and declare war on him/her.

I was doing everything you wrote for Salamanca one, but I've got a new country named Leon, not Salamanca :(

Liberty or Death seems hard to get, how often will enemy offer peace while they're sieging your last town?

For declaring war on Salamanca, you can start a game as a province creating it, and just start a new game from that save (the save symbol next to starting year) as a different state and declare war on them.

The fact there is no achievement for taking every single province on the map is deeply disappointing.

I actually got the Flesh Wound Achievement when my king critically flubbed his Witch Hunt Check. Guess he was so paranoid that he ended up killing himself

Thank you @teofilp, I've tested it myself and you are correct. Even though the game files do say that the player kingdom has to change their religion it doesn't seem to be true in the end. I'll change the mistakes.
