| Practice Makes Perfect | All training fights completed. | Training fights can be played at the camp, and are progressively unlocked with each new special unit (Assassin, Battle Mage, & Black Ogre). Once the first four fights are finished, a fifth 'Carnage' fight is unlocked. It is recommended you equip all party members with healing potions, and make use of ranged magic attacks to avoid enemies ganging up on you |
| Master of Bones | Controlled one of Tykates' Leapers with his melody. | Once Tykates has been defeated, simply play a level with one of his leapers, and play the hell organ once your troops have led the creature into the nearby ritual circle. The creature must survive the battle for this achievement to trigger |
| Master of Sand | Controlled Adamant's sand with a melody. | Once Adamant has been defeated, simply play a level with one of his sand ghosts, and play the hell organ once your troops have led the creature into the nearby ritual circle. The creature must survive the battle for this achievement to trigger |
| Master of Insects | Controlled Shinna's insect with a melody. | During the fight against Shinna, kill all but one or two of the insects and kite them around the arena while one or more party members destroy all breakable crystals (They revive enemies, but only if all insects are dead). Use the pressure plates to disable the force fields in the centre of the arena, and interact with the book to learn the melody. Once this is done, move one party member into the forc field with the hell organ and leave them there. Then simply kite the insects into the ritual circle and play the hell organ. At least one tamed creature must survive the battle for this achievement to trigger |
| Master of the Forest | Controlled the Druid's tree creature with a melody. | Once the Druid has been defeated, simply play a level with one of his tree monsters, and play the hell organ once your troops have led the creature into the nearby ritual circle. The creature must survive the battle for this achievement to trigger |
| Master of Creatures | Controlled at least twenty creatures with a melody. | Exactly what it sounds like. Though, on Xbox at least, the achievement isn't programmed correctly and only requires ten creatures to be tamed. It's recommended you tame as many creatures as you can in a single playthrough, and then replay the attack on Mengbilla to tame either the leaper or the sand ghost over and over until you get the achievement |
| This is Mengbilla! | Kicked at least twenty enemies into an abyss. | Highly recommended you farm this achievement in Hatchery Kokeni near the end of the game, as the enemies respawn infinitely and are easily knocked over the edge of the rickety bridges making up the arena. Give one character the 'Liberating Blow' melee ability and give them a weak weapon that won't kill the enemy in one hit. Then simply open one gate and wait for the endless stream of enemies to come to you so you can use Liberating Blow to knock them over the edge |
| Plundering | Found all treasure chests and opened them. Oh the greed … | This cannot be done without doing the plundering missions with Faramud, so this achievement is mutually exclusive with The Saint. Chests can be highlighted just like all other interactible objects. Using this feature makes it much easier to spot chests in the environment. This achievement has its own page with a more comprehensive guide |
| What did they do to you? | Stopped all couriers. No message goes past you. | Pretty straightforward. Kill every messenger that appears in the mandatory story levels. Focus on killing them as quickly as possible, since they'll often prioritize escaping the level. This achievement has its own page with a more comprehensive guide |
| No Blood! No Blood! | Successfully ended a fight without killing or hurting an enemy. | This is easiest in the third tutorial level of the labyrinth. Use the Lost Man's healing magic to keep him and Cassia alive so that you can pull all the levers and clear the passageways to the exit. The enemies won't block your path, so you'll get this achievement easily so long as you make a beeline for the exit as soon as your path is clear |
| Blunt Force | Killed ten enemies with your bare hands. Vin Diesel would be proud! | This is easiest in the labyrinth tutorial levels. Simply unequip your cudgel before starting the first level, and every enemy you kill will count towards this achievement. The spider enemies are weak enough that you can kill them in one hit, even when barehanded. |
| No Armor | Completed a fight without armor. - Because you can. | This is easiest in the labyrinth tutorial levels. Simply unequip everything Cassia is wearing and go through one of the levels like normal. The spider enemies won't do enough damage to be a serious obstacle, so long as you remember to replenish your HP with the healing water posted throughout the first two levels. You can also learn a healing spell, though it isn't necessary |
| No Weapons | Completed a fight without weapons. - Because you can, show-off! | This is easiest in the labyrinth tutorial levels. Simply unequip your cudgel before starting the first level, and you'll have this achievement once you've reached the end. Killing spiders while your weapon is unequipped will also count towards the Blunt Force achievement |
| Can't Be Stopped in Melee | Unlocked all upgrades for Swordfighters. | Conquer the four map locations that grant swordfighter upgrades: Fort Sirik, Fishermen's Settlement, Hatchery Kokenli, and Acropolis of Tykates. Acropolis of Tykates is the only location necessary for story progression |
| The Impalers | Unlocked all upgrades for Spearfighters. | Conquer the four map locations that grant spearfighter upgrades: Ruins of Barankal, Kyrios Springs, El'Halem, and Colossus of the Kyrios. None of these locations are necessary for story progression |
| Deadly Rain | Unlocked all upgrades for Archers. | Conquer the four map locations that grant archer upgrades: Lorfas, Hunter Camp, Toll Fortress Akisa, and Camp Benivilla. Lorfas is the only necessary location for story progression |
| The Manticore | Unlocked all upgrades for Faramud. | Conquer the four map locations that grant Faramud's upgrades: Old Ore Mine, Heights of the Druid, Cuoris, and Mengbilla. Heights of the Druid and Mengbilla are necessary locations for story progression |
| The Conqueror | All shall be mine! Conquered all points on the world map. | Conquer every location until Marwan's red banner flags are nowhere to be found. This achievement should trigger before attacking Marwan's palace, even though the palace is treated as its own separate location once Mengbilla is conquered. The initial twenty locations you can see on the map from the start of the game are all you need. |
| The Fight | Cassia is a master of melee. | Unlock every special ability in the melee section except Attack of Opportunity. Passive abilities that deal with melee combat like Dual Wielding don't count. |
| The Hunt | Cassia is a master of archery. | Unlock every special ability in the archery section. This can only be done if the bow skill is leveled up to one hundred. |
| The Studies | Cassia is a master of the arcane arts. | Level up six spells to level four. This will take seven thousand adventure points, so expect it to take a while |
| Eternal Gratitude! | We bow before the First Kyria! | This achievement serves as the Platinum Trophy for Blackguards 2. It only unlocks when all other achievements are unlocked. In the xbox version, your progress can be tracked, though the weight of individual achievements is not consistent, nor does it line up with the amount of gamerscore you obtain for any individual achievement. Sometimes an achievement will cause Eternal Gratitude's progress to only go up by one percent, other times your progress will suddenly jump up ten percent. |
| Broodmother | The spider survived the tutorial. - Its eyes see everything. | Keep your spider alive through the final labyrinth tutorial level. This achievement has its own page with a more comprehensive guide |
Bugs[]
A large amount of achievements in Blackguards and Blackguards 2 are bugged. While not impossible to obtain, they will often require multiple attempts. In the case of Blackguards 2, all achievements tied to the end of the game (achievements tied to a 'good' or 'bad' ending for Cassia and her followers, including the achievements for Takate, Naurim, and Zurbaran dying or staying alive until the end) are known to be finicky. It's recommended the player make a save both before the point of no return and after the final boss so that these scenes can be replayed if the desired achievement does not trigger. Even with all this preparation, it may still take several attempts to obtain an achievement, and it's recommended that you make minor changes to how you play the level (choosing a different set of mercenaries, sending a different member of your main team away to take care of the secondary objective before a city seige starts, etc.). If progress is consistently not being counted towards a specific achievement despite multiple reloads, it may be necessary to close and reload the game, or restart your system.
