Brother of the Orks
Get Thorwal run down by the Orks. This should be your last achievement to obtain, after you do everything including DLCs you still should have plenty of time left, to faster kill time, travel between locations, sleep in tavern or travel by sea if you have a lot of money, i traveled by sea as it felt fastest way. When game time will hit 27th of Peraine, 1010. There will be cutscene and you will get this one.

Give 25 ducats to the needy. When in cities there is chance of getting random encounter in which beggar as you for 1 ducat, give him it ( 3rd choice), this achievement will be quite hard to get as encounter chance isn't all that high. Try to get it by walking around towns time from time.

DLC one's aren't required for achievement as far as i remember.
You can try ro reaload older save and clear dungeon again, maybe that will trigger it, other then that i don't have a clue as this is 1st time i have heard of such issue.

Are you aware of any additional trigger for the Cave Explorer achievement. I have checked my save file and the dungeon files for the game and according to them it seems that I have visited all 15 main game dungeons (+2 DLC dungeons). But not so far the achievement has not triggered. I did it all in one game so that shouldn't be the issue.

Also all other achievements so far have worked like intended. It would be strange if only this single one should be bugged.
