Anytime / Non-missable Achievements
Welcome to Drova

You'll get this achievement when you die the first time. It's pretty difficult to not get this achievement.

Out Of Sight But Not Out of Mind - Complete the relic for the Ruin Raiders.

You will need to complete the "Missing" Quest, find all of the signet stones, and bring them back to Ede in the Ruin Raiders' hideout. There's a good guide for that here (make sure to give them a like and favorite): https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3352373764

The Legacy of the Bygones

You can get this achievement once you get your first legendary weapon. It doesn't have to be the Ruin Raider weapons, but you can buy the Ruin Raider weapons from Ede after completing the relic from the signet stones and Missing quest.

Nothing Can Harm You! - Receive a suit of armor of the Bygones.

You can get this achievement by finding 3 of the bygone armor pieces and bringing them to your faction's master blacksmith. They'll give you a really good piece of armor and you'll get the achievement.

Animal Whisperer

Here is a good guide for this achievement: https://gamersocialclub.ca/2024/10/24/become-the-animal-whisperer-in-drova-forsaken-kin/
Although I'm not sure if you need all of these or if you only need one of each of the cats/dogs. Either way, you should be able to easily complete this if you interact/pet every animal when you find them the first time. Ideally, you should be able to complete almost all of this achievement during chapter 1, then finish it during chapter 2 when you can pet the baby boars in the forest.
Just to clarify, you do NOT need any of the geckos or chickens, or anything else not mentioned in this guide.

Waste Not, Want Not
You just need to use all the impairing food items at least once each:
1. Beer (If you get drunk with Eugen in chapter 1, that will also count for this)
2. Honeymead / Wine
3. Rustmoss (sharing Rustmoss with Wind during the Missing quest does not count toward this)

It all began when... - Receive a unique gift from Pwyll.

I'm not sure how much / if this achievement is missable or not. When you meet Pwyll in Chapter 1, in the hunter camp southwest of the Remnant camp, make sure to tell him all about your story and what you've experienced. Then later in Chapter 4, tell him all about what happened with the forest and the druids and everything. Once you've told him a bunch of stuff, he'll give you a helmet that can be different based on what you told him. (note: helmets are cosmetic only, so there are no stat differences or anything like that. only the appearance can be different afaik).

Am I Not Entertaining You? - Win your first battle in the arena.

In chapters 2, 3, or 4, fight in the Remnant arena and win at least one battle. This should be relatively easy.
Woodcutter Camp - Ch1 Missable Achievements
Woodcutters
A Nice Beginning
Complete all the quests for the woodcutters during the beginning of Chapter 1. Should be relatively easy, but you can miss this quest if you don't do these quests before joining a faction and starting chapter 2.

The Right Hand of Cengiz - Kill the leader of the Ripper pack near the Woodcutter Camp in Act 1.
Near the beginning of the game, the woodcutters will tell you about a Ripper pack south of the woodcutter camp. This is a pretty tough fight at this point in the game, so I recommend going elsewhere after you finish the other Woodcutter quests, and just make sure to come back during chapter 1 (before you join a faction). Clear out the Rippers and the Silver wolf, then tell Cengiz, and you'll get the achievement.
Factions - Ch1 Missable Achievements
Factions
Part of the Family - Join Nemeton.
Joining the Remnants - Join the Remnants.

For these two achievements, you can only get one per playthrough. I recommend making multiple saves before you decide to join a faction, then you can get both.

Note that joining a faction will end Chapter 1 and start Chapter 2, so be sure to finish any other missable quests/achievements before joining a faction.
Remnant Camp - Ch1 Missable Achievements
The Pit
Samaritan - Help the bandit's sick sister
[Missable Part] On the way to the Pit with Mottek, make sure not to antagonize the bandits. Make sure they let you pass peacefully. (This is the missable part. If you fight/kill them, you won’t be able to help them later).
[Non-missable part]:Investigate the area to the right to find some footprints. Follow them to the bandit's camp to find the sick sister. Loot the area to find a letter with a recipe using a bear heart. Go back and talk to the bandits and convince them you have a bear heart that can help their sister. Once they make the recipe, you’ll get the achievement. If you go talk to the Pit guard afterwards, he’ll give you a bit of gold for getting rid of the bandit problem.

That Silver Is Mine!
This other guide has a good step-by-step process for the Pit: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3388407384

In order to get enough silver, you need to get at least 100 silver while you're in the pit (any pre-pit silver doesn't count) and get Katsa to let you pass for free, or you can get at least 200 silver and pay the toll (of at least 100 silver).
1. Make sure to go with Mattek while you have at least 50 gold.
2. Complete all the side quests that give you silver from NPCs.
3. Try to get Prospecting up to at least level 4 before mining everything.
4. Make sure to complete all the Pit quests in one trip, since you'll only get one free pass from Katsa.

Down Below
While you're in the Pit, go to the deep mine (you can either pay lots of gold or convince someone else to give up his spot) and then go through the deep mine section. You’ll also need to do this anyway if you want the other achievement for 100 silver.

I Am The Law
You need to make the two guards in the Pit stop bullying the miners. You can stop one of them by helping Shona and getting some meat for her to cook, then telling the guard about it, then ask him to leave the other guy alone. You can stop the guard near the beds by TBD (beating him up, maybe?) and then talking to him again to get him to promise to stop taking bribes. You should be able to get the achievement as soon as you deal with both of them, so make sure you get this before leaving the Pit.
For this achievement, you don't need to stop, fight, or do quests for any of the other guards aside from these two.

Remnant
For the Underdog - You helped Gra to win the battle. Ester is happy.
Must be completed during chapter 1, and you need access to the upper quarter. You need to complete the "Wanna Bet?" Quest so that Gra will win against Bady. This quest guide has a good guide for how to do so: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3367216233
Be sure to give them a like and favorite as well.

Hunter Camp (just south of Remnant)
It all began when... - Receive a unique gift from Pwyll.
- Part 1 of 2
I'm not sure how much / if this achievement is missable or not.
When you meet Pwyll in Chapter 1, in the hunter camp southwest of the Remnant camp, make sure to tell him all about your story and what you've experienced.
Then later in Chapter 4, tell him all about what happened with the forest and the druids and everything. Once you've told him a bunch of stuff, he'll give you a helmet that can be different based on what you told him. (note: helmets are cosmetic only, so there are no stat differences or anything like that. only the appearance can be different afaik).
Tavern / World - Ch1 Missable Achievements
One Less Critter - Take care of Olaf's Ripper problem.
During chapter 1, Olaf will tell you about some Rippers to the north. Go up north to find Faol, and then follow him around and help him kill all the Rippers and the silver wolf. Then return to the tavern and tell Olaf to get the achievement.

Utter Trust - Trust Gawan and his Business Sense
- Part 1 of 3
1. In chapter 1, after obtaining the strange yellow stone, you need to be willing to give it to Gawan when he approaches you in the tavern.
2. Later in Chapter 1, Gawan will be just southeast of the entrance to Nemeton with some sheep, and he'll ask for another 500 gold (give it to him).

3. In chapter TBD (2 or 3?), he'll be located TBD (in Georgefarm, I think?) and ask for 1000 gold (give it to him).
4. In chapter 4, he'll be located in Georgefarm (northwest side) and give you 3000 gold and you'll get the achievement.

If you don't find him and give him gold for every investment, you won't be able to get the achievement. For example, If you give him the 500 gold but don't give him the 1000, then later you'll get 1500 gold but won't get the achievement.

Freedom! - Free the prisoners in the Pit
(This is actually referring to the Missing quest, not The Pit)
For this achievement, you'll need to complete the "Missing" quest during chapter 1. You can either (A) get kidnapped and unravel the story and everything that's going on, or (B) charge into the cave and just kill all the enemies.
Make your choice depending on how confident you are in combat, and how much you want to experience the story.

Bear Scare - Defeat a Bear in Act 1
There are a few bears accessible during chapter 1. One of them is just east of the road about halfway between Babsi (the hunter south of Remnant camp) and the tavern. This is a pretty tough fight if you aren't well prepared, so you might want to bring some traps along if you don't have good enough armor/weapons.
Georgefarm - Ch1 Missable Achievements
Of Fights and Foxes - Help every person at Georgefarm.
Complete all the quests in the Georgefarm area during Chapter 1.

Part of the Deal - Enter into the Rustmoss Trade.
TBD (Not sure if this is missable or not)
After completing the other quests in Georgefarm, talk to Nemali (cooking in the main building) and talk to her about rustmoss.
Nemeton - Ch1 Missable Achievements
I'll Find a Way! - Find a way into Nemeton.
To get into Nemeton in Chapter 1, you'll need to either (A) complete the "Lobo's lost bag" quest or (B) complete enough quests in Georgefarm so that George will vouch for you.

Mikesch The Devourer - Feed 10 fish to Mikesch.
Note: you might want to clear out the enemies in this quest area first. You'll need 10 bass total for this achievement, as well as some decent combat skills/stats.
Outside of Nemeton in Chapter 1, find Mikesch near Jesko the merchant. Give him a bass and he'll run off to the south. Follow him and kill all the monsters that appear so that he doesn't die. When he gets to a corpse, he'll stop and you'll need to interact with him again to give him the other 9 fish.

Scavenger Hunt - Create your own talisman.
You need to complete most of this achievement during chapter one, especially if you plan to join the Remnants. Follow the questline witih the children and druid in Nemeton, and you'll make your talisman. There's a detailed guide for this quest here (make sure to give them a like and favorite too): https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3352373764
Chapter 2-3 Missable Achievements
Remnants
Last One Standing
REMNANTS-ONLY
Make sure to NOT get the spark in the forest during chapter 1. If you do, you will skip to chapter 3 and miss this achievement. This achievement MUST be completed in Chapter 2. You can only get this achievement if you join the Remnants and join Eugen's squad. After you join them at the very beginning of Chapter 2, the squad will all go together just outside of the Remnant camp and then start fighting each other. Just stay off to the side and let them beat each other up, then finish off the last person or two. Make sure you're the last one standing, and you'll get the achievement.

Nemeton
For the Community - Complete all tasks from the bulletin board.
NEMETON-ONLY
This achievement can only be obtained if you join Nemeton in Chapter 2. There will be a bulletin board that will have some side-quests on it. If you complete all the tasks / side-quests on the bulletin board, you'll get the achievement.

Georgefarm
Utter Trust - Trust Gawan and his Business Sense
Part 2 of 3
1. In chapter 1, after obtaining the strange yellow stone, you need to be willing to give it to Gawan when he approaches you in the tavern.
2. Later in Chapter 1, Gawan will be just southeast of the entrance to Nemeton with some sheep, and he'll ask for another 500 gold (give it to him).

4. In chapter 4, he'll be located in Georgefarm (northwest side) and give you 3000 gold and you'll get the achievement.

If you don't find him and give him gold for every investment, you won't be able to get the achievement. For example, If you give him the 500 gold but don't give him the 1000, then later you'll get 1500 gold but won't get the achievement.

The Tavern
Beware of the Old Blood - A hunter must hunt.
Find the first fossil and talk to Lorthiz during chapter 1, 2, or 3, and follow his questline around the world chasing dreams. Lorthiz is in/near the tavern in chapters 1 and 3, and in the mid-eastern part of the forest during chapter 2.

Primeval Forest
One with the Forest Primeval - Embark on the journey to the roots of the Mother.
This achievement must be completed during Chapter 1 or 2 (preferably Chapter 2). Before returning to your faction and starting chapter 3, and after you get the spark in Chapter 2, make sure to complete the optional quest to visit all of the mother roots with your spark.
Chapter 4
I think all the other achievements that weren't covered elsewhere can all be done in Chapter 4. Just make sure to go back and complete anything else you need to do before completing the game.

Gladiator - Advance to the top during the arena battles in the Remnants' camp.
Beat all of the arena battles in the Remnant Camp, including everyone up to Ada

An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth - Help Bertine exact her final vengeance.
In Chapter 4, use follow Tristan's map back into the Primeval Forest. You'll find Bertine hunting the spider boss that escaped in Chapter 2. Work with her to take it down to get the achievement.

It all began when... - Receive a unique gift from Pwyll.
Part 2 of 2
I'm not sure how much / if this achievement is missable or not.
When you meet Pwyll in Chapter 1, in the hunter camp southwest of the Remnant camp, make sure to tell him all about your story and what you've experienced.
Then later in Chapter 4, tell him all about what happened with the forest and the druids and everything. Once you've told him a bunch of stuff, he'll give you a helmet that can be different based on what you told him. (note: helmets are cosmetic only, so there are no stat differences or anything like that. only the appearance can be different afaik).

I Had No Choice - Face Diemo's revenge.
Go southwest of the tavern into the forest, and you'll find Diemo. He'll fight you. You just need to beat him to get this achievement.

A Piglet Named Cay - Give up part of yourself to save Cay.
Need to complete Diemo's Revenge first.
Next to the tavern, Cay is struggling and needs your Spark. Give Cay your Spark
TBD - The patch notes said there's a way to save Cay without giving up your spark? If anyone knows about this method, let me know

Conquered the Arena - Defeat Bady in a fair fight.

The Last Sovereign of the Bygones - Defeat Drivanius.
You have to complete the signet stone relic, then find and activate all of the shrines. You won't be able to get the last shrine until later in Chapter 4 after you've found the first divine crystal. Check out this guide for how to get the signet stones and activate the shrines (make sure to give them a like and favorite too): https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3352373764
After that, head to Drivanius - follow the path east of Remnant camp, then north, then follow the left-most path until you get to a large statue with a few harpies hanging around. If you've done all the prerequisite signets/shrines/quests, you should be able to hit a switch to open a passage into a bygone area. Make your way through the area and beat up all the enemies.

@Jaspurr if you keep your spark orange by avoiding killing boars and protecting the forest from piglet roasters you keep your spark. Taron says you have a strong bond and that you can keep it.
MrMenty 21 Apr @ 11:29pm 
I really appreciate the guide! I think you're missing the new achievement "Free the Divinity in the Knawd Moor", but other than that its excellent.
Jaspurr  [author] 12 Feb @ 7:07am 
I'll update my description for it to clarify
Jaspurr  [author] 12 Feb @ 7:06am 
@SeeHahn yes you can get the Drovatastic achievement without completing the difficulty/game mode achievements (insane, hardcore, iron, etc.)
SeeHahn 12 Feb @ 6:22am 
Hey thanks you very much, the guide helped out a lot!
I guess the Drovastic achievement got updated since you dont need to complete the game on insane difficulty and hardcore mode to unlock it.

But if i get this correct, i could play on easy difficulty and hardcore mode to get this achievement easier right? Would be kinda a easy way to do it, because most people i read from doing it in combination with insane difficulty.

I just added a link to a good video guide for beware of the old blood. the part I think you're looking for is around timestamp 6:50.

Beware of the Old Blood - A hunter must hunt.
Where is the cave from the third dream Lorthiz?
