Introduction
NOTE: Guide updated 14 September 2024. It is a work-in-progress and will continue to be updated. I will update this section with update notes as I continue to work through writing achievements. Guide currently covers 94/157 of the achievements. Additionally, please note that some achievements are currently broken and not obtainable.

Howdy! Welcome to my first ever Steam guide! This guide focuses on how to “knock out” all 157 achievements in Knock On The Coffin Lid, and includes the easiest and quickest way to achieve it! Please note this guide contains spoilers.
Boss Achievements
Story Achievements can be completed on any character, class, difficulty, and build. Please note that final map bosses in the Frontier, Rotten Bog, Crimson Wastes, and the Northern Gate are randomised each run, so it may take a few runs to successfully find and defeat all of them. There are currently 3 final boss variations for each area.

Story Bosses
Story Bosses only need to be encountered and defeated to obtain the achievement. I've listed them in order of appearance by map for convenience.

just got the excalibur achievement for pulling the sword out of the anthill in the frontier, this one is not very obvious but the anthill can be found in the bear event in the far right path of the first map.

I chose to let the pet lead me instead of fighting the bear and I stumbled upon the anthill, I had the fox pet not sure if the pet type matters and it might be RNG where you end up.

Obviously have to play as Vanadis since it is an achievement specifically for her.

Blood sport achievement - go to the dishonor event and approach the demon and ask for advice. You may need to visit several times as he gives different advice each time, On the next run stop by the orc who hunts the big worm in crimson stepps and tell him about the the fat demon. Go to the far demon at the dishonor event and you'll be able to place a bet.

I think the my precious is you need to get the whistle fromthe tumbleweed in the crimson waste (to identify its a whistle go to a shop in crimson waste and ask about it) and then hit up the hungry deamon? or it may be the honey comb from the frontier or a boars leg i can't remember
Uncle_Tom 19 Sep, 2024 @ 7:24pm 
anyone have luck with the "you disappoint me mr perseval" achievement, I have probably tried the dishonor event, bowed down and not attacked like 50 times

"My precious - Give the Hungry Demon in the "Hungry Demon" event in the Northern Gate an item.

Where can I get this?"

It's the "thing" you get from the puddle event as Persival
Uncle_Tom 16 Sep, 2024 @ 3:57am 
It's a whistle- catch the shiny object in the tumbleweed in crimson waste(achievable in one go but make sure you bring health potions as each unsuccessful attempt/die roll lowers health). Then go to a shop in crimson waste and ask the shop keep what it is - poped for me

My precious - Give the Hungry Demon in the "Hungry Demon" event in the Northern Gate an item.

Where can I get this?

Tips for "If he dies, he dies": Do not let the Ritualist reborn as a zombie. You have to go to the Church in the swamp to attempt this achieve. This is trick because he has 125 armour when he dies the first time. Attacks that pierce armour can be used here. Additionally, the Frostbite effect deals damage to HP and ignores block. A non-RNG based strategy for this achievement is: go to the church and get to 10 connection, when you kill the Ritualist, summon Hoogin who will deal 10 Frostbite and deal 20 straight to HP.
