Updated two achievement descriptions to the current wording on the store list

Re-checked and re-dated the visible and hidden achievement counts and the console list status to October 13, 2026
11The Blood of Dawnwalker shipped with a full achievement list on day one rather than adding it after release. The developers published the visible portion of that list ahead of launch, and because each entry names a specific system, ability, or place, the list doubles as one of the clearest confirmations of what the finished game contains.22Overview44There are 46 achievements on PC, all available since launch day, September 3, 2026. The developers' pre-launch breakdown was 25 visible and 21 hidden. The Steam achievement page, as captured on September 23, 2026, shows descriptions for 23 of them and hides the other 23, and one entry that was published with its condition before launch, Better Safe than Sorry, now appears there without it.5+There are 46 achievements on PC, all available since launch day, September 3, 2026.

All 46 names now appear on the Steam achievement page, along with global unlock rates. On PlayStation 5 the list is reported as 47 trophies: the same 46 plus a platinum, Every Last Drop, for collecting all the others. One guide gives the split as 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver and 38 bronze, with none tied to online play. The Xbox Series X|S list has not been captured as of September 23, 2026.99Achievement Categories1111The developers group the achievements around seven kinds of activity, which between them touch most of the game's core systems.1313Combat masteryVampiric progressionWitchcraft abilitiesExploration and discoveryStory progressionCharacter developmentInventory1515Design Approach1717The list is described as designed to complement the narrative sandbox experience, encouraging exploration and experimentation without requiring players to follow an exhaustive checklist. That framing matters in a game built on a hard time limit: the achievements are meant to reward the routes a player was already taking rather than pull them into a completion grind that fights the 30-Day Cycle.1919The developers have also stated plainly that one single run will not make it possible for a full unlock. Because The Blood of Dawnwalker is built around choices and consequences, some conditions are mutually exclusive within a playthrough, so a complete list requires more than one run. A developer interview has separately indicated that some achievements are tied to how the story ends, and the hidden list bears that out: six of them are named after endings.2121Visible Achievements2323The visible achievements and their unlock conditions are listed below. The first 21 were published before launch and are grouped the same way the developers grouped them; the last three were added from the Steam achievement page and were never grouped. Better Safe than Sorry keeps its pre-launch condition here, although the Steam page now hides it.2525AchievementCategoryUnlock ConditionThe Blood of DawnwalkerGeneralFinish the story.Throne of ThornsGeneralReach peak Infamy in Vale Sangora.Better Safe than SorryCombatBehead an enemy with Artery Strike while they are also hexed with Burning Blood.Make It RainCombatCause an enemy to explode using an Active Ability.Absolutely InsatiableCombatHave 3 Passive Abilities equipped at the same time.UntouchableCombatPerform 5 Perfect Blocks in a row.Capture the FlagExplorationTear down all of Brencis's flags.Bird's-Eye ViewExplorationClimb all the towers and scout the surrounding areas.Big-City LivingExplorationVisit the City of Svartrau.Tour Guide TrainingExplorationVisit all of Vale Sangora's villages.Delivery DelayExplorationDestroy 8 vrakhiri transports.Glass CeilingCharacter DevelopmentReach Level 50.MasteryCharacter DevelopmentLevel up one Swordmastery, Witchcraft, or Vampiric Ability to its full potential.Master of ArmsCharacter DevelopmentUnlock an Ultimate Perk in the Swordmastery tree.Arch WarlockCharacter DevelopmentUnlock an Ultimate Perk in the Witchcraft tree.Creature of the NightCharacter DevelopmentUnlock an Ultimate Perk in the Vampirism tree.Dead Man Talkin'AbilitiesSpeak with a dead person using the Compel Soul Witchcraft ability.Shadow RoamerAbilitiesTravel 1000 metres using Vampiric Abilities.Balanced DietAbilitiesQuench your thirst by drinking 10 animals, humans, or monsters.SmugglerInventoryEarn 1000 denarii selling silver.MiserInventoryAccumulate 5000 denarii.Arbiter's BladeNot groupedRestore St Mihai's sword to its former glory.Arbiter's RegaliaNot groupedGather all the parts of the Arbiter's set of armour and unlock their full potential.Uphill BattleNot groupedComplete the entire game by saving people of Laslea on Duelist Difficulty preset.2727Hidden Achievements2828The other 23 achievements are hidden on the Steam page, which shows their names and unlock rates but not their conditions. The conditions below are the hidden descriptions as reported in a published trophy list, paraphrased rather than quoted, and should be read as reported. Six are named after the game's endings. Better Safe than Sorry, the 23rd, is listed above with its pre-launch condition.3030AchievementReported ConditionA Dawnwalker is BornComplete the prologue and head out into the open world.Antique AficionadoDiscover ancient ruins.RealmwalkerVisit Anachora for the first time.Feral HungerLose control and drain someone outside combat.SelfishSell fish to a fishmonger.Gear of the GodsFill every equipment slot with legendary items.The Right Fist of the KnyazKill Ambrus in the duel.The Mad KhanKill Bakir during the games.The Dark MistressNeutralise the threat posed by Xanthe.Sins of the PastAccompany Anca on her adventure to the Font of Life.Misery Loves CompanyFollow Lacra and find the mandrake.The ManumitLearn all of Crake's secrets.The Unquenchable ThirstFind out the truth about Vicho.The OutcastHelp Ocha find her new destiny.The Tsarina's Favourite HumanComplete every task given by the sanzhani.In the Nick of TimeRescue the family before time runs out.The TurncoatBetray Coen's allies to strike a deal with Brencis and get the family back.The Folk HeroDefeat Brencis alone.The PatricideDefeat Brencis together with Lacra.The KnyazmakerDefeat Brencis together with Crake.A Hero They DeserveEscape Vale Sangora, and responsibility with it.Together ForeverStay with the family, forever.3232The global unlock rates on the Steam page give a rough sense of how players have moved through the game. Three weeks after launch, A Dawnwalker is Born, for leaving the prologue, stood above 80 percent, while Together Forever and Uphill Battle, the Duelist-difficulty completion, sat at about 3 and 2 percent, among the rarest on the list.3333What the Achievement List Confirms3535Several of the unlock conditions name mechanics, places, and values that had not been spelled out elsewhere in official material. The table below reads the list as a source of confirmed detail.3737Achievement TextWhat It ConfirmsReach Level 50Level 50 is the cap. Walkthroughs of the shipped game report it as the maximum level, and the game's own experience table stops there.Earn 1000 denarii selling silver; Accumulate 5000 denariiThe valley's currency is the denarius, and the silver that the mines produce can be sold for it.Behead an enemy with Artery Strike while they are also hexed with Burning BloodArtery Strike is a beheading finisher, Burning Blood is a hex, and hexes and finishers can be combined in the same kill. See Hex Magic and Combat.Cause an enemy to explode using an Active AbilityActive Abilities exist as a distinct category and at least one produces a lethal burst effect.Have 3 Passive Abilities equipped at the same timePassive Abilities are equipped rather than permanently owned, and at least three can be slotted simultaneously.Perform 5 Perfect Blocks in a rowPerfect Block is a discrete timed defensive input that the game tracks in sequence, consistent with the tactical branch of Directional Combat.Unlock an Ultimate Perk in the Swordmastery, Witchcraft, and Vampirism treesThe three Skill Trees are officially named Swordmastery, Witchcraft, and Vampirism, and each one ends in an Ultimate Perk.Speak with a dead person using the Compel Soul Witchcraft AbilityCompel Soul is a Witchcraft ability whose function is conversation with the dead, confirming magic has investigative uses alongside combat ones.Travel 1000 metres using Vampiric AbilitiesNight traversal is measured as distance covered by ability rather than by a single movement mode, matching the night toolkit.Quench your thirst by drinking 10 animals, humans, or monstersMonsters are a valid feeding target alongside animals and humans, which widens the options for managing Blood Craving.Reach peak Infamy in Vale SangoraInfamy has a defined peak state rather than an open-ended counter. See the Notoriety System.Destroy 8 vrakhiri transportsVrakhiri transports are destructible world objects that appear in sufficient number to allow at least eight kills.Tear down all of Brencis's flagsBrencis's flags are a finite, fully clearable collectible set placed around the valley.Climb all the towers and scout the surrounding areasTowers are a finite set, and climbing one scouts its surroundings. Tower climbing is night-gated because it needs the vampiric wall-walk.Visit the City of Svartrau; Visit all of Vale Sangora's villagesSvartrau is treated as a city distinct from the valley's villages, and there are multiple villages to find, so Exploration covers more than the capital.Restore St Mihai's sword to its former glory; Gather all the parts of the Arbiter's set of armourThe sword of Saint Mihai and the Arbiter armour are both tracked quest chains, and the achievement names tie the two together under the Arbiter. See Equipment and Crafting.Complete the entire game by saving people of Laslea on Duelist Difficulty presetDuelist is a named difficulty preset, and the hardest completion also requires an ending that saves Laslea. See Difficulty Settings.3939Notes4040The first-party list is the PC one on Steam.
