Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones Achievement Hints & Secrets Compilation

Unlock Game Over Screen: Greed Summons Doom

In the last room in werehouse, you can go left and get transmitter you need for a quest. To the right you can see single Pickman’s Ghoul. If you attack it, suddenly a lot more show up. If you defeat them, next group appears. I couldn’t defeat next group so after I died I got this achievement unlocked.

Unlock Game Over Screen: Lobotomized

When you get to the Asylum and give Marino what he asks, refuse his drink and let the good Doctor help you with your.. *condition*.

Lockpick 20 locked containers

The counter is kept between characters, so you can build up to this during multiple runs, you can also save, lockpick, and reload until you get it. There aren’t enough locked containers in a single run, so you will need multiple runs or do the reloading trick to get this. Needless to say, you need at least 1 point in subterfuge to unlock the first few containers and more of the skill to unlock the rest. Companions do not share their subterfuge skill with you.

After getting the quest to enter the Arkham Theater, you will need a mark of cleansing. Going back to Riverside, you can talk to a former cultist to get one and there are dialogue options to pick one out of six:

Delivered from Friendship
Acquire Mark of Cleansing: Friendship (I think, this one makes you resistant to sanity effects if an ally is killed but it makes it harder to bond with them)

Delivered from Compassion
Acquire Mark of Cleansing: Compassion (-1 Supernatural defense, +1 Physical defense)

Delivered from Love Acquire
Acquire Mark of Cleansing: Love (Fewer bonuses from drugs but harder to get addicted to them)

Delivered from Longing
Acquire Mark of Cleansing: Longing (I think this one reduces damage and healing to your sanity)

Delivered from Curiosity
Acquire Mark of Cleansing: Curiosity (less XP gained but also less Angst)

Delivered from Self-respect
Acquire Mark of Cleansing: Self-respect (+5% Crit Failure, +1 Mental Resistance)

To get all these achievements quickly, save before deciding, get one, get that achievement, reload, get another, etc.

After getting to Pilgrim’s Parish and approaching the cult’s tents, you will hear a conversation about the Essex Hotel. Return there to the 3rd floor and the staircase up will now be cleared out and accessible, use it to go to the roof. Talk to the man there to witness His majesty.

Exterminate all Abenaki in Arkham

You need to get into a fight and kill all the Abenaki that fight you at Dead Willows.
*No retreat* Then.. also exterminate the two last survivors. *You are a monster*
