Step by step
This achievement is to be done at Chapter 4, at Nemzya while trying to figure out the Leshy who is pretending as one of the villager.
By following below sequence, you should be able to get the achievement.

Take note that the locations can be visited multiple times, do not call for village gathering before you get this achievement. Also, keep in mind that do not accuse anyone before you get all the clues. I recommend to save before starting it, just in case you missed something and need to load game.

**Thanks Drake Ravenwolf for the extra information provided for this guide.

First, go to Hunter's house and enter the izba, ask About villagers and choose Marfa. Go back and choose [!]Facts. Choose offering to leshy.

Leave the location and go to Herbalist's house and ask about villagers, Anisia. Then [!]Facts Neighbour.

Go to Bails of Hay, choose [!]Facts Marfa at night and Leshy.

Go to Abandoned Huts, choose to talk, [!]Facts Marfa at night and Anisia. Dont worry about the song, we will get it later.

Go to Galina's izba and Search the yard.

Go to Forest Outskirt and choose Heavy tracks then Inspect outskirts of the forest.

Go back to Galina's izba, ask her about At leshy's follow by all the [!]Facts. The new fact Husband will appear once you asked about Daughter-in-law. Total will get 3 facts there.

Go back to Herbalist and ask about Piece of cloth

Go to Marfa's house and ask about villager Filimon the Shepherd and [!]Night walks then confront on the cloth piece. You can choose to accept the money or refuse it, it does not affect on getting this achievement.

Go to Hunter's house and confront about the Tracks in forest and ask about Galina and Anisia.

Go back to Abandoned huts and ask about Girls and hunter.

Go to Anisia's mansion. Ask about Shepherd. Choose [!]Facts and ask about Gift to shepherd first before asking on Daughter-in-law. **do not choose accuse

Now go back to Abandoned Huts again and get the song.

Go to Anisia's mansion and Find the susedko. You can choose either fight or flee, it doesn't matter.

Go to bails of Hay and choose Look closer at shepherd, then ask about Recently in Nemzya. (Do not accuse shepherd yet)

Lastly go back to Anisia's mansion and select accuse.


You should get the achievement by now and you may proceed to call for village gathering and accuse shepherd(800 experience)

"Go back to Abandoned huts and ask about Girls and hunter. Choose [!]Facts and ask about Gift to shepherd first before asking on Daughter-in-law. **do not choose accuse"

This should be "Go to Anisa's Mansion"

I totally forgot about the experience. Thanks for the info. So you did actually replay that part to see what happened I assume.

and 800 experience! (for the gathering)

I think I missed out on the accusing Anisia part, updated guide. I written this after I got the achievement, was trying to trace back the sequence on how I did that. Thanks for the feedback.
By the way, the village gathering part doesnt have much different from accusing him on the spot, just some extra dialogue there.

I did everything up to accusing anyone, then the achievement popped as soon as I accused Anisia.
In retrospec I wish I hadn't accused the shepherd, so I could have called him out publicly at the gathering and seen how that route played out instead.
