Optional Achievements[]

Act I[]

Icon Name Description Requirements
Squirrel Wrangler Win a battle with damage from Squirrels. This can be done by applying a damaging sigil to the Squirrel Totem, by buffing a Squirrel using the Leader Sigil , or by using Amalgam, who counts as all creatures.
Role Reversal Steal back one of your creatures from The Angler. The Angler must be defeated on a previous run to unlock the Fish Hook. Use the Fish Hook on a card after The Angler steals it. This can also be done after Leshy uses the Hook in his battle.
Gruesome Encore Allow The Mycologists to experiment on a creature that is already itself an experiment. The Mycologists must be visited twice in one run, and three copies of the same card need to be in your deck. The Pack Rat is a good choice, as it can be consistently found from the Gain Consumables event if you hold three items and occasionally found after a Boss.


Act II[]

Icon Name Description Requirements
Collective Effort Collect every card in the Original Inscryption. Defeat all the enemies without progressing to Act III to receive Card Packs, and use Foils to buy the cards you are missing. Note that some cards are not found in Packs, such as the Drowned Soul, Bone Lord's Horn and Great Kraken. The compendium in the shop of the Temple of Magicks can show what types of cards you are missing.
Devil's Play Attack for over 666 damage in the Original Inscryption (Note: The amount of damage does not have to be over 666. Exactly 666 damage will also work.)

(Note: Although the description says otherwise, this can be obtained in Act 1, although it is far more tedious and there are fewer ways to do so.)

This achievement is tedious to obtain. Use the Energy Conduit and another Conduit to generate unlimited Energy, and use an Emerald Mox to play the Stim Mage, which can now be buffed an unlimited number of times. Either Bone Heap or Gourmage combined with Bone Lord's Horn can replace the Stim Mage, but this is even more tiresome, since it requires repeatedly clicking on both cards. Because the number of times you can activate a card ability is restricted by a one-second long animation between button presses, 666 activations translates to 11 minutes and 6 seconds of clicking at minimum. An autoclicker is highly recommended, though obviously not required.

Another (even more tedious) option is to use the Ouroboros by buffing it during Act 1. It can then be bought from the Temple of Beasts Trader in Act 2 with the stats it had before.

Receiving this achievement will naturally give you an absurd amount of Foils, making it easier to get Collective Effort in the same run.

This achievement is still obtainable in Kaycee's Mod, although this is not intended behavior and might be patched in future releases.

Dark Offering Make an offering to The Bonelord. The Bonelord is found in the basement of the Temple of the Dead. He will only accept the Ancient Obol, which is obtained by playing both Broken Obol cards next to each other.


Act III[]

Icon Name Description Requirements
Forgotten Lore Receive all 5 cards from The Trader in P03's factory. The five Tarot cards are received by giving the Trader Holo Pelts. Four of the five Holo Pelts are found by trapping rabbits throughout Botopia, and one is bought in the shop in the center of the map. The door to the left of the table will open near the end of the game and lead to The Trader.
Grim Bounty Destroy a Level 3 Bounty Hunter card. Completing enough fights without dying will spawn Bounty Hunters and increase the amount of stars above the player's head. When they have three stars, Level 3 Bounty Hunters can attack them. The easiest way to do this is to kill all the bots in an area and leave without progressing to the next checkpoint to make them respawn. The achievement is received by killing the Bounty Hunter, not by winning the fight.
Agonizing Remorse Don't empty the Recycling Bin.
  • PC Version: If the Captive File dies during the fight with The Archivist, a text file will be created in the same directory as the file, asking the player to delete it themselves to respect the rules of the game. This achievement is earned by deleting the file or by simply moving it to a different location and winning the fight. After the fight, the achievement will be earned.
  • Console Versions: To unlock this achievement in Console Versions, the player must play the Captive File, then kill it using the Hammer

Rookie Mistake Make 10 misplays in a single Kaycee's Mod run.
Bad Moon Defeat Leshy in Kaycee's Mod without destroying The Moon. Make The Moon lose all its sigils with Magickal Bleach and kill Leshy with a card with Airborne sigil or Harpie's Birdleg Fan.
Skull Storm Complete a run with every Challenge active in Kaycee's Mod.
Pulling Teeth Pull out 32 teeth in Kaycee's Mod. This can be done over multiple runs.
Master Trinketeer Unlock all 3 items from the oil painting.
Start // Finish Complete a run with every Starter Deck in Kaycee's Mod. The wording is a bit confusing for this one, because you can't have multiple starter decks at once. You just have to win with each one, unlike skull storm. (Note: the challenge rating CAN be set to zero when completing a run for a starter deck to count for this achievement)
