5.
A Stunning Blow
Deal 1000 damage in a single hit.

This achievement is quite easy to get already in the IV act of the game, when your characters will be leveled up almost to the maximum level. It doesn't matter what character do this damage, the main thing is that the action of one card in total should cause more than 1000 damage to the enemies.

The Swordhand's Tenacity
Take out 3 enemies in a single round with Lucius.

Injure 3 enemies so they can be kill with one attack and then on Lucius turn use 3 single attacks that kill enemies or use splash attack cards.

7.
The Bard's Vivacity
Apply 100 or more Guard in a single turn with Naran.

I advise you to use the Tempo deck for this achievement, because it is full of cards that give armor and also have a Vigil effect that multiplies the amount of armor gained.

Achievement

8.
Adder's Touch
Kill 200 enemies with Poison.

Use cards, weapon, items or anything else with poison effect. The more poison stacks enemy has — the more damage deals. Make sure that amount of poison stacks is higher than enemy HP to kill him.

Achievement
Description
9.
The Druid's Wrath
Have 3 or more summons alive at the same time.

A fairly simple achievement: you need to have 3 cards in your deck to summon a hawk, a wolf and a bear. They can be added when using the Animal Kinship deck, or some legendary items can add these cards to the deck.



However, keep in mind that initially the Druid can only summon 2 creatures at the same time on the battlefield. However, if you have 16 intelligence points and 2 ability slots in the skill tree, you can learn the Legion Commander ability, which will allow you to have a third creature on the battlefield.

Description
10.
The Scoundrel's Tricks
Perform a 10 hit combo using Stab with Alphonse.




This time, the achievement is tied to a Alphonse`s Stub card, which gains an additional attack for every action Alfonso takes this turn. Thus, you need to play 10 cards in any way, and then play a stub on the enemy to make 10 hit combo at once.

The stub card cannot be upgraded or improved, this means you will have to take and improve other cards in your deck that reduce the cost, draw new cards or give movement points for using it.

I recommend use cards from Assasin deck or find an equipment which can help to play as much cards at one turn as you can.

Achievement
Description
14.
A Helping Hand
Use Synergy Stratagems 5 times in a single battle.
15.
Unity In Strength
Use Synergy Stratagems 25 times.

You can check Synergry cards at the inventory menu



But initially these abilities are only for one character. In order to unlock synergy cards, your heroes must fight together and increase the level of synergy. Then you will have to open cards with the image of two heroes, which can be used if both heroes have enough points in the battle.



Unlocking at least one such ability is enough. Use it 5 times per battle and 25 times in total to get both achievements. I believe you can find out more about synergy in this guide

The Ranger's Perfection
Use Arrow of Judgement with 4 or more Arrow buffs active.

Sharpshooter deck is recommended for this one. Get Arrow of Judgement card in your deck and use it before 4 other Arrow buffs — they cost (0), same cards effect stacks and do not disappear at the end of the turn so all you have to use that buffs and then use Arrow of Judgement.

I have listed 6 examples of arrow buffs below, but there are more of them in the game, just make sure that "Arrow" is written under the card image.

The Spellbinder's Power
Gain 9 Channel charges on Pierre.

This one can be complicated. To get this you have to do two things:
  • Raise your max channel level to 9 or higher
  • Gain 9 charges at once
To max your level you can use I, II and III level perks that raise your channel max level like these:



But this may not be enough, so the remaining limit can be increased by cards.
For example, Mana Tempest can raise your max level for several turns. Then use cards that give you additional channel points to have 9 of it. Channel points don`t miss with the end of the turn.

@Lucian : Talismans are not taken into account for 'Magnificent In Orange' achievments.
KophiL 15 Jun, 2024 @ 6:39pm 
@Volkarion : In and Out is feasible -i just completed it-.
Tips :
>Play in easy difficulty (obvious)
>Avoid fight as much as possible (some realms can be done fighting the boss, and nothing else)
>At the merchants, check for portal scrolls, 6-8 void gems, invigorating potions (to remove exhaustion), healing potions. NOTHING else, of you will lose too much time.
>Do not bother with equipment. Rapidly put the +stats stuff on the right character, don't lose time with gems.
>Know exactly what you want for your characters talents/spells, and do it quick.
>To be quick at placing skill points, i put all grids in a line. Doing so, you miss some talents due to sub-par placement, but you gain precious time (organizing skill grids is time-consuming).

Most important advice : YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE OPTIMAL, YOU HAVE TO BE FAST.
In easy mode, the game is forgiving.

Hey Melissa question How I can make a Magnificent In Orange if all talismans are rare?:( Please help.
P2LaK 17 May, 2023 @ 8:25am 
Hi, just adding few tips :
- For the 50 artifacts, the easiest way is to just sell all artifacts and buys 1 new, sell 1 and so on, so it will cost almost nothing
- For the hero succes, do the campaign with 3 heros, and at the end just spec the others for succes that will be already high level
- For Nightmare kingdom : I think that having 1 guy of each characteristic (dext, int, strength) is better and if you can maybe 1 with invocations (Turrets, beasts of the forrest, Golem) makes the succes really easier
Volkarion 23 Mar, 2023 @ 3:13am 
I absolutelly agree with you, 투신. It is a total nonsense that achievement! In a strategic game (which requires thinking and pianification of every single action) rush achievements shouldn't exist! An awful idea, and the time given is absolutelly inadequate. (Should be at least 10 hours, considering that a Realm Mode run includes 5 Realms to complete.
HansO 2 Aug, 2022 @ 10:56am 
Very decent guide, with both appropriate information here the Author has something to say, and great layout.
