Intro
Achievements will be presented in the order I unlocked them. Some are unlocked by progressing the story and some are missable and depend on side quests.
Achievements
The Fallen Hero

Wake up......

Story achievement. You will get this as soon as the game starts.
Nocturnal hunter

You went hunting in the forest at night!

You can miss this one. After eating at Leon's hut, Leon will go outside after telling you to use his bed to rest. Instead of sleeping, follow him. He will tell you about a rare monster hiding in the forest at night. Follow the path to the west, after leaving the hut area. You will find a path that moves in a spiral, follow it and you will come across a monster. Make sure you have a few potions with you. After you beat it and pick up the loot, you get the achievement.
Welcome to North Willow!

Let's get out of this rain!

Story achievement. You will unlock this one when you arrive at North Willow.
A spot of fishing

You relaxed and did a spot of fishing in North Willow

You can miss this one. There are at least two fishing spots around North Willow. They look like the achievement icon so they are easy to spot and they are all available after you spend the night at the town. One is located in the little lake close to the fountain. Another is located outside North Willow (close to where you left your boat the previous night). I used the one at the lake and the achievement unlocked, but I assume you can use any to do it.
The Doughnut Thief!

You solved the case of The Doughnut Thief!

You can miss this one, as it's a side quest. After finishing with the barracks meeting (WARNING : You should do this after the barracks meeting, which is after recruiting Grom and not later on in the game as it will not let you pick up the quest) , head to the bakery and talk to Kev (it's the building next to the fountain). He will ask you if you are looking for work. Say "Yes" and he will ask you to find the thief who keeps stealing his doughnuts. Go outside and you'll find some crumbs on the fountain. Talk to the blonde girl to the left of the fountain, then to the woman to her left. Go to the tavern and you'll find more crumbs. Return to the bakery to see the conclusion and unlock this achievement.
Gear Upgrade!

Grenn Upgraded some of your gear at The Black Anvil!

You can miss this one. Go to Grenn (he is located in the first building you come across when you enter North Willow) and ask him to upgrade your equipment. The option isn't available at first but it becomes available later after Brom joins your party.


New Achievements (Patch 1.2.4)
Warning : If this is not the first time you are playing the game, remember that you probably need to start a new game to get these new achievements, as mentioned in the patch notes. Using an older save seems to cause crashes whenever you try to start a battle.

You musht Diesh!

I've got a feeling we haven't seen the last of that guy.....

I assume since you need to pass through that place, this is a story achievement and it cannot be missed. In the ruins area, after spending the night at Leon's hut and going for the boat in the morning, you will find the Scaava shown in the achievement icon somewhere in the ruins (the one that wears armor and a cape). Defeat him to receive this achievement.

Fratus The Fantastic!

Look at that stunning painting, Fratus Gabriele is the most famous artist in all of Terra!

This can be missed. Go into the house in the lake in the middle of North Willow. Talk to the man in the house and you will get the achievement.
Toil and Trouble

You recruited Frann!

Story achievement. After recruiting Tybalt, head over to the house at the southwest of town and talk to the girl inside to recruit her!
Nice guy Tybalt...

He's not so bad......for a Bandit!

You can miss this achievement. Talk to the kid near the entrance to the mayor's house. He is somewhere between the fountain and the tree.
Tybalt the Barrel Boy

This is thirty work, let's grab a beer!

This can be missed. After recruiting at least Tybalt (Frann is not required according to carlonimus), talk to the Willow guard inside the barracks (the one located at the left of the table). He will ask you to move a barrel that is right outside the barracks to the Tavern. Go outside, pick up the barrel to the right of the entrance and take it to the Willow Tavern.
Ding dong the witch is dead...

Crazy old hag! What has she gone and done!?

You can miss this one, since it's a side quest. After you pick up Frann, head to the house between the Barracks and the mayor's house entrance. You will find the housing officer there. After he leaves, pick up the key in the house and head over to your own house to unlock the hatch on the floor. Navigate through the underground passages until you find the witch. Kill her and you will get the achievement.

Thank you, Back To Basics Gaming for the correction on this one!

Newer Achievements (Patch 1.2.4)
A couple more achievements seem to have been added yesterday and they are related to gold owned.

Saving up for something?

If you go up level +12 with all characters before looking for the dragon (farming a bit at the wilderness takes 3-4 hours or so) and keep spamming
Brom:Spark Dive
Alexis: Comet
Leon: Boulder
Frann: Boom potion

And the Skull Head Dragon is dead, no member died, no need for recovery (only some cake to recover mana for Brom), I just killed it right now, first fight, ez no prob.

Over all, best guide ever, thank you! :fhappy:

It's been some years since I last checked the game so I can't be exact but I recall having to heal quite often in between the damage to keep everyone alive. It takes quite a while, from what I recall, but by doing some persistent damage, dragon should die after a while. Just keep healing, too.

If you are still having trouble, I can search tomorrow if I have any left over saves to try and reach it again so I can remember. Sorry that I can't recall much right now!

The password used to be GroupeeSlug at some point but it was removed. I don't know if it will return or if it changed after that unfortunately.
