[color=#a94847]BEWARE! ACHIEVEMENTS ARE TEND TO GLITCH OUT! I didn’t find out the reason nor the solution for the problem. If you know how to solve it, feel free to share the information in the comments.[/color]
Its not a hard task to get every achievement in this game. Still I tought there should be a guide for it becaouse at first it looks kind of confusing. I divided the guide in more sections so you can easily see what you have to look out for.
Some basic controls and tips that may help you:
You can bring up the item menu by holding R and then you can select a weapon with either E, F or SPACE.
The magic menu works just the same by holding CTRL.
You can always find the information you need on the map screen (M) you can even skip the dialogs if you don’t care about the story and want to rush through the game. The locations which are red still have a quest to be done.
The game consists of 3 different sections, with each section ending in a great battle between the vikings and the Legion. You can get dragon runes for killing Champions, Giants and Shamans in these battles, then use them to easily get rid of the remaining shamans.
Here’s a tip for the last map. There are a few groups of warriors you have to save before the last battle. These aren’t designated on the map.and people often have a hard time finding them.
A quick tip for the last fight in the tower. Fire is your best friend. When you have the chance just knock the enemies into the fire, it helps a lot.

Killing section
These are pretty straightforward achievements. Legions are the most common enemy type in the game, easy to find easy to kill. Don’t have to worry about getting these achievements. Although you may have to run around and kill a bunch more to get the last achievement. The best place for farming is in the great battles, infinite enemies, infinite tries. (As far as I know)
Kill 50 legion soldiers.
Kill 100 Legion soldiers
Kill 200 Legion soldiers
Kill 500 Legion soldiers
You will have plenty of chances to perform fatality moves. Just press E near an enemy when the button is flashing above its head
Finish off 25 Legion with fatality moves
Finish off 100 Legion with fatality moves
Finish off 150 Legion with fatality moves
Execute 100 sneaky kills
Same as the with the fatalities. You just have to get behind the enemies unnoticed. Then press E.
You don’t have to look hard for champions to kill, you will find enough by the time you get to the end of the game.
Find and defeat a Legion Champion
Kill 10 Champions
Kill a Legion Champion without being hit
You should get this achievement before the last section of the game. The champions there are much tougher. As long as you use the dodge move properly you should easily kill any champion, however having throwing weapons such as the axes or flame pots makes it a breeze.
Note:
According to EightDeerOcelotClaw it doesn’t matter if you get hit by other minions you can still get the achievement until the champion doesn’t hurt you. Also use ice magic it makes dodging his attacks a lot easier.
Kill 50 Legion without using a health potion
Just as the description says don’t use heal. Won’t be hard to get this one either.
Find and slaughter a Legion Giant
You will find your first giant at the end of the second section.
Kill 5 Giants
Locate and kill a Legion Assassin
Kill 5 Legion just using Throwing axes
Buy flamepots and incinerate 10 Legion soldiers with them
Use your defensive bash to knock your Legion foes to their doom!
Actually you have to kill 20 enemies with your shield bash. (Push the attack button while defending)
Skills
It will take a lot of money to get all the skills and max out your runes. Picking up the loot from the ground is the only way to get gold in the game, except some chests. Buying all the treasure maps in the shop makes it much easier to round up all the goods.
Master the first new move at the Battle Arena
Learn a total of 4 new moves
Master a total of 8 new moves
Master a total of 12 new moves
Learn all the moves in the game
However these achievements are for killing the enemies I decided to put them in this section because the leadup takes much more time for these then the actual killing. You have to use your ultimate fire, ice and thunder attacks on an enemy, which means, you have to max out your elemental powers and just hit enemies with each of them.
Use the ultimate fire attack to kill a Legion
Send a Legion back to the underworld in the most lightning-tastic way imaginable
Glacially wipe out a Legion using the ultimate ice attack
Miscellaneous
Power-up over 500 Vikings in your armies with runic magic
When you do a war segment get in a big crowd of your soldiers and use one of your runes. It gives the power-up to all nearby allies. Do it with 500 different soldiers and it’s done, really easy to get.
Now you have to watch out for these ones. On every map before the final battle you have to sneak into the enemy’s base. You have to look for the skull then, because after the battle you get telkeported to the next map and you can’t go back. There’s a pretty good guide on Steam which shows you the locaion of the skulls, or you can watch a video guide on YT.
Collect the 6 skulls in Darkwater
Collect the 6 skulls in Holdenfort and the 6 skulls in Caldberg
Collect all the 4 skulls in Thornvik
