A-G
I will be adding more achievements every two days until complete


A Bond Knit with Trust
Become loved by a faction.
Have a reputation of +600 or more with one of the in-game Factions.
Reputation can be gained by performing water rituals with legendary creatures liked or loved by a faction and by killing legendary creatures disliked or hated by a faction. Reputation can also be gained by giving secrets in the water ritual with faction members, completing quests for that faction, or by equipping certain gear or having certain mutations.
The Mechanimists in particular are easy to get large amounts of reputation with. Simply toss artifacts in the sacred well at the Six Day Stilt to gain reputation proportional to their commerce value. Artifacts such as the laser rifle are easy to tinker but have a high value.

Absolute Unit
Successfully cook a meal with neutron flux as an ingredient.
Cooking with neutron flux (typically stored within a phial) has a 90% chance to succeed. However, be aware that failure will cause a gravitational collapse (instant death).

Aleph
Defeat one of the Girsh Nephilim.
Kill one of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.
Arconaut
Arconaut achieve2.png Descend 50 strata deep.
Travel 50 strata deep into the earth, most easily accomplished with use of spiral borers.

Become as Gods
Bestow life to 20 inanimate objects.
Inanimate objects can be animated through the application of Spray-a-Brain or a nano-neuro animator.

Belong, Friends
Help the slynth find a new home.
Main article: Landing Pads

Biographer
Learn the complete history of a single sultan.
Learn every piece of historical gossip about the life of a single Sultan.
Gossip can be learned through a variety of methods: viewing shrines, asking for secrets during water rituals, rifling through trash with Trash Divining, looking at painted or engraved items, cooking with psychal gland paste and exploring new areas while infected by mumble mouth.

Bet
Defeat two of the Girsh Nephilim in a single playthrough
Kill two of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.

Byevalve
Enter 100 giant clams.
Giant clams are commonly found in Lake Hinnom and the Palladium Reef.

Caves of Qud
Beat the Game.
End the game via any of the main endings

Clonal Colony
Share the map with 30 clones of yourself.
Can be achieved with a space inverter fitted with a beamsplitter by shooting at several walls. Ruins usually have a good geometry for this. It is much easier to obtain with a high quickness and pistol skills as the clones disappear after 5 rounds. Alternatively, drink or cook cloning draught, use Temporal Fugue, or combine cloning methods to have several clones of yourself.

Close the Loop
Recover Kindrish.
Find and acquire Kindrish, the lost bracelet of the hindren of Bey Lah. Its location can be learned from Trolls by asking them for secrets during a water ritual.
The location will always be the center zone of a random tier 4-6 parasang, between 0-9 strata deep. It will be generated either within a normal colored chest, a creature's inventory, or on the ground.

Cubic and Wisest Human
Activate a time cube.
Come into possession of a timecube, and then activate it. A time cube is also one of the few artifacts which can earn the achievement Donation Level: Kasaphescence when cast down into the sacred well.
Thus, if you have it, it is a good idea to use Precognition (or a sphynx salt injector, if you are True Kin) before activating your timecube so that you can earn the achievement and still have a timecube to cast into the sacred well.

Dalet
Defeat four of the Girsh nephilim in a single playthrough.
Kill four of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.

Dark Tidings
Foresee your own death.
Die while in a precognitive vision from using Precognition or a sphynx salt injector for True Kin.

Dawnglider
Become auroral.
Catch fire while you are coated in plasma.

Dayenu
Give the repulsive device to all four children of the Tomb.
Once inside the Tomb of the Eaters, kill or trade with k-Goninon for the repulsive device. The device can then be given to one of the four children: Nacham, Va'am, Dagasha, and Kah. This is the final objective of the Fraying Favorites quest.
This achievement will typically require multiple playthroughs, as only one repulsive device can be found and it cannot be duplicated with metamorphic polygel. However, Precognition can be used to give the repulsive device to one of the children of the Tomb for achievement progress and then revert back to keep the device.

Donation Level: Kasaphescence
Make an offering at the Sacred Well of an artifact worth at least 200 reputation.
Main article: Sacred well
Throw an artifact worth 200 reputation or more into the sacred well.
Timecubes, Hand-E-Nukes or phase cannons are the only artifacts valuable enough to give 200 reputation when cast into the well.

Dream within a Dream
Enter a waking dream from within a waking dream.
This will require you to be hit by a Crungling Gaze from a dreamcrungle whilst already within a waking dream.
This achievement is highly chance-based and usually hinges on awakening as a creature in the Moon Stair, as most creatures do not carry any water and thus cannot travel long distances without dehydrating to death.

Eat an Entire Bear
Kill a bear and eat it. Just eat an entire bear.
Kill a bear and eat its corpse raw by picking up the bear corpse, waiting until you are famished or hungrier, and choosing to eat it.
Players with the Carnivorous (D) mutation need not wait until they are famished.

Feast Upon the Goat Hearts! *cheers*
Perform the water ritual with Mamon Souldrinker.
Travel to Kyakukya and begin the Raising Indrix quest to receive directions to Mamon Souldrinker's location.
To perform the water ritual with Mamon, he must be made neutral or friendly by raising the player's Children of Mamon reputation (from the default of -600 to at least -249) or by recruiting him as a follower with Beguiling Proselytize, or a love injector.

Friend to Fungi
Host 3 different fungal infections at once.
Become the host of 3 different types of fungal infection.
This can be easily achieved by walking near three differently colored broodpuffs. Make sure that one fungal infection has grown before walking near the next broodpuff, as itchy skin does not stack and walking into more spores will not change the infection type. This can also be achieved by water-ritualing legendary fungi and asking them to colonize your body.

Gemini
Wield Caslainard and Polluxus.
Wield Caslainard & Polluxus, Crowsong's two electrified longswords.
Killing Crowsong is, for obvious reasons, an expedient. They are affiliated with the Village of Kyakukya, so you need to worry about others joining in the fight. However, dominating will also suffice. Unequipping and re-eqiupping a sword is required as the achievement is only checked when they are equipped.

Go on. Do it.
Wield the amaranthine prism.
Kill Mamon Souldrinker and equip the amaranthine prism that he drops.
Note that once you equip the amaranthine prism there is no way to remove it, and it will eventually kill your character. Using Precognition or equipping it on another body using Domination is necessary for this to not be fatal.

Goat Simulator
Project your mind into a goat's body.
Dominate a goat.
