Impossible achivements

At the moment, it is not possible to achive a 100% completion rate in the game. The developers added three achievements that cannot be obtained in the current version of the game, so all we can do is wait for an update that will allow us to obtain them.

The BFA achievement also seems to be impossible to unlock currently because of these achievement or its just bugged in another way.

(I wil try to update this guide if these achievement ever become obtainable, which will probably never happen)

Worth it

The only way you can miss this is by choosing to start with the axt instead of with the sword. During your travels you will find the "Krell Sword" and will be able to take it with you by switching it with your starter sword. (There is also a Krell version for the axt but I heard that you can't get this achivement with it)
Too Clever

While progressing trough the second world you will meet a mysterious flutist NPC that will give you little riddles to solve. If you give a wrong answer you wont be able to get this achivement in your playtrough.

Old enough

Every time you die in this game you will get one year older. And you start with the age of 18. So this achivement baisically means beating the game with 3 or less deaths. This will be really hard in adventure difficulty and almost impossible in Heroic.
A True Adventure & A Heroic Feat
There are 3 different difficulties you can select at the beginning, Casual, Adventure and Heroic. If you want to get all three completion achivements you will need to play on Heroic.


Thanks for checking out my guide, have a great day.

@074 I see, if you tried it yourself we can assume its mostlikely impossible right now as well. I will add a disclaimer in the guide for it as well, thanks.

Well, that depends on how the code is written I guess, but at least for me it did not unlocked when unlocking all the unlockable achievements. There aparently were issues in the past unlocking this achivement, before the devs rolled out a fix, but that was all before the NG+ achivements. So I assume it works correctly now, but it includes all the unobtainable achivements.

@074 good question, I really cant say. I would guess that they didnt change the coding of that achievement in the patch, so you would still get it by doing all the possible achievements. But there there isnt a way too know for sure without trying it out or looking at the code.

Isnt the "BFA" achivement impossible to get also? At least for after patch players that is.

@Scarven 1) Dont worry just keep going, you will come across the Krell sword later in your journey. The Krell axt has nothing to do with this achivement 2) You dont need to use the basic sword to fight, you just need to have it.

Like I wrote. One time in the begining I chose sword. Amd I played with sword all time. Even when I found Krell's Hammer, I played sword. And when I found hiden Krell's weapon it was axe.

@Scarven Not quite. At the very start you can choose between the basic sword and basic axt. And later in the game you are able to find the Krell Sword but you can only take it by giving up your basic sowrd. And if you start with the axt you cant do that (did not test it myself). So as long as you choose the sword as your starter weapon you cant miss this achivement.

Hmmmm.
About Worth it.
When I started play with sword, I get axe
And opposite.

@DARIUS exactly, I guess they had plans to add NG+ but never did
