Here you will find all the achievements from the game and how to get them, both the visible and hidden ones. It is possible to get them in one playthrough if you make saves when the time is right.

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE GUIDE. Do not read this guide if you do not want any spoiler. I have tried to keep spoilers to a minimum throughout this guide by using the tags but the achievements' descriptions and quest names themselves may contain some minor ones.

General Achievements
For starters, here are the general ones. This means that you will earn them easily while progressing through the game. No special action on your part. By the end of the game, these should naturally be unlocked.

An exception is the True Detective mode achievement. You need to make sure that you select the mode when starting a New Game. FYI, this mode and achievement was introduced when the Gamedec - Definitive Edition was released.

How To Get It
Never Gonna Give You Up
Complete all the fetchquests from Troll King.
After you choose the Trolls, go to the Unicorn and get the Ace of Spades from it. With that you will be able to summon the king. After summoning the Troll King (Herman Tik), he will sit next to Nena Sytnaya. Talk to him and agree to complete his quests in order to get the key to the theater. All of them involve the red car next to Umbra and are super simple to complete.
I Have the High Ground
Surprise Jester in the theater.
While the Troll King gives you the front door key, he advices not to enter from there when you talk with him. He is kinda right, so go to the back alley to the right of the theater. There is a ladder there. Use it to enter the theater and you find yourself on a catwalk above the Jester. You will need to drop down on the Jester when he is under the ropes. Save the game here in order to reload if you time it wrong.
You can load the save here if you want to also try following the Clan Deduction. I prefered it only because I found the Troll King annoying.

I was considering trying to unlock the favor of the clan Masters (Knight's Code), and then getting 3 Reprimands for fun and for the info, but I am afraid that might block the "Well-Deserved Reunion" achievement later (also helps the "Power of three" achievement).

Otherwise said, do I lose Umbra's favor (once obtained) if I get kicked out of the clan?
