First of all: There seems to be one missable achievement, so just progress through the story as you wish, but do the Baine-Achievement as soon as possible. If you don't won't any spoilers, just click on the right at the guide index at Baine's jokes and only read that part.

There are four Achievements associated with the challenges of the surfer girl Asta.


You will usually find them while travelling from one story region to another.
You can choose to take the challenge right away (which is recommended, as the path of the challenge will usually take you straight to the next story region).

But if you are too invested in the story at the moment, or just not in the mood, feel free to skip them. They are always available, even in the free roam after the story.

The achievements are:

First Asta achievement:

Beach You To It
Beat Asta's first challenge

Second Asta achievement:

Riding The Wave
Beat Asta's second challenge

Third Asta achievement:

Far Out Dude
Beat Asta's third challenge

Fourth Asta achievement:

Fin-Tastic!
Beat Asta's fourth challenge

This is the missable achievement!

The last achievement mentioned in this list can be obtained pretty early in the game, as soon as you rescue Baine from the Gloom. He acts as the game's vendor and will selll you different skins for Sigrid, for which you pay with the cyan-coloured sparks you can find around the map or after defeating an enemy. His wares will evolve as the game progresses.



But before he offers you any of the goods that can only be compared to a Khajiit's finest wares, he will usually tell you a nautical joke.

The achievement is as simple as it gets: You will receive it after you have heard all of Baine's jokes. Talk to him several times, whether you're asking him to do some shopping or just leaving the conversation and starting over. After talking to him a few times in peace, the achievement will pop up.

If you miss it, you won’t lose much time. Just start over and you’ll be fine. But there’s no harm in exhausting his dialogue right away until the achievement pops.

Thanks to daisy, Paul Banks and Nateboy for pointing that out.

Only special achievement:

All Baine, No Pain
Hear all of Baines puns

There are severel types of collectibles and extra work to do that are not tied to achievements, so they just get an honourable mention but I won't go into detail about where to find all of that stuff.

There are:

• Journals, which give Scrapbook entries
  
• Gloomed People which grant people entries and provide side quests
  
• Side quests give little sparks
  
• Skins for Sigrid bought from Mr. Baine
