General Information
- Read the "How to Play" section!! This one seems like a no-brainer, but the final page actually contains essential info about your allies, what they do, and how to summon them. You will need them if you want to make it very far in this game.

- Choose the paladin for the more challenging achievements. He's the easiest class to play, by far. You're welcome to try the other classes, but unless otherwise specified, I would recommend the paladin. Note that this class is also highly recommended for the Social Justice Champion achievements, since you can just block enemies' attacks while gaining patience, and immediately become a Champion.

- Your resources are more expendable than you think. Enemies usualy don't do too much damage, and you only really need to start worrying after the meter goes below the final letter of the word. Besides, unless you're playing the paladin, you'll just be fighting a losing battle, since enemies can out-damage your healing powers. You must rely on your allies for resources.
Easy/Unmissable Achievements

Winsome Idol - "Survive the Popular Troll"

This achievement is fairly straightforward. All you have to do is win by defeating the troll. You should get this naturally during your first playthrough. Since the popular troll has an almost maxed-out reputation meter, you're better off trying to bring down his patience.


There's Always Another Way - "Make the choice"

The requirements for this achievement are very simple. All you have to do is go to the main menu, select the "Don't Battle for Social Justice" option, and quit the game. Sounds super easy, right? Well....unfortunately, at the time of writing this guide, the achievement is bugged. If you're unable to earn it, you might be out of luck until this game gets an update. I've been told that the devs are working on this, so hopefully there will be a fix for it soon. Just keep trying and pray that you get it sooner or later.


The Wit Is Sharper - "Successfully wield all 6 Paladin attacks"


The Faith Is Stronger - "Successfully wield all 6 Cleric attacks"


The Pen Is Mightier - "Successfully wield all 6 Mage attacks"


The Shadows Are Deeper - "Successfully wield all 6 Rogue attacks"


The Road Is Higher - "Successfully wield all 6 Champion attacks"

All of the above achievements basically require the same thing - for you to use all 6 of each characters' abilities. The first 4 abilities you recieve immediately at the start of the game, when you choose a character. Those are your 4 attack choices. The other two attacks can be unlocked randomly during gameplay, through achieving a high enough patience/reputation, or some game event. You'll know when you have these attacks, because they're outlined in a bold blue or yellow text and have an alternate attack description. Just experiement with the different characters and you'll get them in no time.


It's Dangerous to Go Online - "Wield the Social Justice Sorcerer's Gift"

Eventually you'll come across the Social Justice Sorcerer during gameplay. He's one of the aforementioned allies that you need to survive in the game. Most of the time he gives you a slight buff to reputation or patience, but sometimes he'll grant you a weapon or item that helps you in a fight. Keep playing and you'll get one of his items sooner or later.


I Hate Pop Quizzes - "Answer all of the Social Justie Druid's riddles"

Periodically, the Social Justice Druid will appear and ask you a question. You need to go through each one of the questions in random order to get this. Just survive long enough and he'll keep showing up. I've documented each of his responses if you need help with the questions. It's also worth mentioning that if you answer all of the questions and start a new round without quitting the game, the Bard will never reappear. So you will need to turn the game on and off again if you mess this one up.
Moderately Hard Achievements

Polished Spear - "Survive the Intellectual Troll"



Gnashing Teeth - "Survive the Monstrous Troll"

These two are the same as the Popular troll, except I put them here because their attacks do more damage and they hit more often. The Monstrous troll can be especially hard to deal with. You're also much less likely to encounter these on your first playthrough since you're still learning the mechanics. Just use your wits and survive like last time.


Endless Horde - "Survive the Troll Warlord"

Again, same as above, but with a catch. This time, the troll warlord will always spawn at level 10. I believe he also spawns at every 10 level increment in the game. Unlike the other trolls, his two bars will be almost maxed out, so you'll have to play smart to beat him. Once you get a hang of the game mechanics, though, he's not too tough to deal with.


Die a Hero... - "Be remembered as a hero"

This achievement requires you to become a Social Justice Champion, and die with that title still intact. This one can be a little tricky to get, since trolls will sometimes knock you down to a regular class. I believe that using your own abilities to deplete your health to nothing is a definite way to get it.


...Or Live Long Enough to Become a Villain - "Achieve great heights, then lose it all"

This one is just the opposite of the previous achievement. You'll probably get this one just by playing, if you managed to become a Champion. So, as mentioned before, just let an enemy whittle down your health and you'll get this.


Living Legend - "Secure the ultimare favor of the Social Justice Bard"


Hat Trick - "Secure the ultimare favor of the Social Justice Ranger"


Illuminated - "Secure the ultimare favor of the Social Justice Sorcerer"

Throughout a specific round, your allies will appear between rounds to boost your stats and give you some compliments. After around 3 or 4 times of this occuring, you'll gain the ultimate favor with that ally. The Bard and Ranger gain favor by staying alive, and the Sorcerer gains favor by showing prowess in combat. Just live long enough to grab the favor of everybody and you'll earn these achievements, no problem.
Very Hard Achievements

Poisoned Dagger - "Survive the Troll Assassin"

This troll is hard enough to reach, let alone defeat. He only spawns at some point after you beat the Troll Warlord, and his attacks are much more deadly than regular trolls. You'll probably have a hard time dealing with him, but with some persistence he's straightforward enough to win against.


An Army of Skeletons - "Secure the ultimate favor of the Social Justice Necromancer"

For whatever reason, this achievement is much more elusive than the other 3 in the same category. I believe the requirements for earning the Necromancer's favor is by using abilities that sacrifice your own health. Even then, it still feels entirely random. I recommend playing the Cleric or Mage for this achievement, since the Necromancer seems to favor those attacks the most.


Who Has Two Thumbs - "...And Can Dual Wield?"

This achievement sounds simple, but it can be tricky to get. Essentially, it's the same as the achievement It's Dangerous to Go Online, except this time you need two of the Sorcerer's weapons. I heavily emphasize that it MUST be two weapons - the items that the Sorcerer gives you like the amulet or shield don't count. It's mostly based on RNG, keep attacking the enemy head-on and you'll gain favor with the Sorcerer, making him more likely to give you an item. Also, it's very important to mention that you keep your items in-between rounds, as long as you don't close the game. I don't know if this will work for the achievement, but try leaving your game on until you get this one and maybe you'll be lucky enough to get it.


Code of Ethics - "Survive 9 trolls without sacrificing your values"

It's as simple as it appears, you need to go 9 turns without using any of your reputation or patience to attack the enemy. This means that the Cleric, Mage, and Rouge won't really be viable for this one, so I would go with the paladin. Use your block attack when needed and keep using your first ability to attack enemies. Other than that, lean on your allies' support and good luck.


Mutually Assured Destruction - "Everyone loses"

Another achievement that relies heavily on RNG. The fastest way to achieve this is to use the Rogue, since your attacks do damage to yourself and the enemy. The strategy I would use for this is to restart your game, pick the Rogue, get the enemy's health as low as you can without killing him and wait for the Druid to show up. If you're lucky enough to get a question that kills you both, you can end the match there.


Empathy - It's only impossible until it happens

I can't exactly take credit for this one. In fact, I only achieved this through sheer luck. Big thanks to Elmo3000 for taking it upon himself to contact the developers directly to ask about this achievement. According to them:
"Each Champion attack increases empathy counter on the troll so the longer you keep battling one, the better chances. Esp. rabid"
Essentially, you have to become a Champion and keep battling a single troll until you get the counter high enough. I believe the required number is somewhere around 15 turns. You'll have to be really lucky for this one. I recommend playing the Paladin, start the match by getting the enemy as low as possible, and blocking until you max out your patience. Hopefully the ranger will jump in and help, giving you an extra turn to attack.
==Social Justice Druid -- Questions and Answers==
For the sake of everyone, I've documented each of the Druid's questions and the effects that they have on the player. Some of the effects I'm not entirely sure about, some of them may be different depending on whether you're a Social Justice Champion, and some effects seem to be completely pointless. You'll need to do some experimenting yourself - just keep in mind that the answer might not be exactly what it appears to be.

I found that 'ignorant person - ENEMY LOSES 9 PATIENCE' answer restored a lot of patience and reputation for the opponent when I selected it.
