Successfully bring Antea back to life
Successfully give Antea her ascent
To successfully give Antea her ascent, promise Antea to let her ascend, and ascend or banish the ghosts.
Note: I’m currently trying some strategies to get both of them efficiently.
Combat
Teamwork
Defeat at 4+ enemies with Red and 4+ enemies with Antea in a single encounter
Self-explanatory. This achievement can be easily done during nest fights. The first nest can be found in the valley after crossing the bridge in the chronicle ‘The Dark Woods.
Float like a Butterfly
Defeat 8 enemies in a single encounter without being hit
Self-explanatory. This achievement can be easily done during nest fights. The first nest can be found in the valley after crossing the bridge in the chronicle ‘The Dark Woods.
Counterattack
Defeat 3 enemies with a post parry attack in a single encounter
This achievement requires perfect parries as Red. A perfect parry triggers an animation and stuns the enemy. The post parry attack (light attacks are recommended) must kill the enemy. Defeating three enemies with such attacks can be easily done in encounters with normal specters.
Right on Target
Defeat 5 enemies with a weakspot hit (Rifle) in a single encounter
This achievement can be obtained after retrieving your first rifle from Kate Newsmith in the Hunters’ Camp. It’s highly recommended to do this achievement at nest fights with possessed wolves, e.g., at the ritual site south-west of the Broken Bridge shelter in The Mire Marshes. As Red, kill five wolves with headshots (weakspot) to unlock the achievement.
Outburst
Defeat 3 enemies with a single Outburst
Antea’s Outburst skill will be available upon resting at the Mossy Watchtower shelter (story event). Kill three enemies (can be spheres) at once to unlock the achievement.
Right on Target
Defeat 5 enemies with a weakspot hit (Rifle) in a single encounter
This achievement can be obtained after retrieving your first rifle from Kate Newsmith in the Hunter’s Camp. It’s highly recommended to do this achievement at nest fights with possessed wolves, e.g., at the ritual site south-west of the Broken Bridge shelter in The Mire Marshes. As Red, kill five wolves with headshots (weakspot) to unlock the achievement.
Until a cure is found
Freeze 5 enemies in a single encounter
Antea’s Ensnare skill will be available upon resting at a shelter after completing the main quest The Inkwell. Use the skill on five enemies in one encounter to unlock the achievement.
Soulmates
Defeat 50 enemies while Fusion is active
Antea’s Fusion skill will be available upon resting at a shelter after completing the main quest A Flame In The Dark. As Antea, damage enemies to charge the Fusion gauge (blue bar).
Miscellaneous
Destroy 300 destructibles
Round Figure
Collect 10 000 Pieces of Eight
Attain 10,000 Pieces of Eight (currency in New Eden) at once in your inventory. You can simply make a save towards the end of the game, then approach any merchant, and sell all your loot.
The Good Hunter
Find 50 Soul Grabbers in New Eden
Shoot the Soul Grabbers with your rifle (available after retrieving your first rifle from Kate Newsmith in the Hunters’ Camp). There are 128 Soul Grabbers scattered throughout New Eden:
Upgrade an item
Equip 8 items at rank 7 (Relic) at the same momentInventory items can be upgraded at shelters:Second Death
Defeat the Specter of a banished ghost in the VoidThis achievement can be missed if you never banish a ghost in the haunting cases. If you banish a ghost, they can appear as a miniboss in the Void breaches (available after completing the main quest The Swamp Witch). Void breaches are marked on the map and can be replayed.
A Farmer’s Life
Complete the same Ritual site 10 times (intensity level 10)
Reach intensity level 11 at any replayable endless ritual site, e.g., at the ritual site south-west of Fort Jericho on Mount Pleasant (can be a nest, an elite, or a scourge):
Full Potency
