Overview
A complete guide to gaining every achievement in Heroes Rise: The Prodigy.
Introduction
This guide will list achievements in two parts: first, a general hint; and second, a listing of the choices needed to reach the achievement. It does not list every route to the achievement, since some have many possible routes, but instead lists choices that will affect the stats needed to reach the achievement in a fast and easy manner. I’ve left non-vital choices blank so that people can roleplay it as they like, though obviously if a particular stat is mentioned, avoid choices that will affect it negatively.
