Achievements Guide

Achievements: "Frostweaver - Gold" and "Stormcaller - Gold"
Reach the last area of World 1 level 1 when four shrines spawn. Do this under the Insane difficulty setting to increase the spawn rate. This is also made easier with a assistance of a friend playing the Valkyrie. Go with your friend into a corner have have them block enemies while you kill them.

Achievements: "Slayer - Gold" and "Skeleton Slayer - Gold"
Skeletons will die when attacking a Valkyrie's shield. To take advantage of this, select a location with multiple skeleton summoning stones. Back yourself into a corner and use an object to hold the [Shield] key or button. Allow the game to idle in this state as long as desired. Note: Use higher difficulty settings for faster respawns. A good location to find skeletons is World 1 level 2 or level 3. There are areas where two skeleton spawners spawn consecutively in room after room. Remain there and hold your position to kill them.

Achievements: "Cave Crusher - Gold"
Have the Orcs and Grunts masteries to at least silver to make this easier. Start with the Siren's Lute relic to make yourself briefly ignored in order to get past certain parts that may be difficult, as when multiple spawners appear.

Achievements: "Crypt Kicker - Gold"
Have the Mummy and Skeleton masteries to at least silver to make this easier. Start with the Siren's Lute relic to make yourself briefly ignored in order to get past certain parts that may be difficult, as when multiple spawners appear.

Achievements: "Demon Slayer - Gold"
At the start of world 3, level 2 are two demon spawn sites that are separated with a set of doors. Collect the key from the pedestal and unlock those doors. Remain at those two spawn sites and kill as many demons as possible. You can also destroy those two spawn sites and continue by lowering the bridge to find another set of two spawn sites. Remain on the bridge and kill the demons.

Achievements: "Icy Tomb"
Go to a level that features a lich. Get to low health and stand in front of its attack.

Achievements: "Lich Slayer - Gold"
Play "Tombs III" and progress to the last stage, where the short arena fight ends with two liches. Kill them, then remain on the spike trap until you run out of lives. Select "Retry" to resume at the beginning of the arena fight. Repeat the process as many times as desired. You can also destroy the food in this room to progress towards the "Eating off the Floor - Gold" achievement.

Achievements: "Orc Slayer - Gold"
At the start of world 2, level 3 are two spawn sites. Note: Three of them will be here if more than one player is present. Remain on the stairs and kill the orcs. Play under the unfair difficulty setting to avoid long delays between the waves.

Achievements: "Temple Toppler - Gold"
Have the Demons and Cultists masteries to at least silver to make this easier. Start with the Siren's Lute relic to make yourself briefly ignored in order to get past certain parts that may be difficult, as when multiple spawners appear.
