Easy "Cheating AI" Achievement

Start a new game and choose a Sorcerer or Sorceress. They have the lowest health and can be defeated easier than the other classes. Make sure they are at level 1 with no items equipped. Do not start a new quest; instead choose a quick battle and fight a swarm of rats. The rats will have the first move. With luck, they can do enough damage to kill you in the first turn. Quick battles feature a random grid. You will need to keep cycling through them until you get one that has some +5 Skulls ready to be matched near the bottom. If the CPU matches them, you will lose a large portion or possible all of your health. If the enemy does not attack or you do not die on the first turn, exit and retry.

Easy "We Didn't Even Test This!!!" Achievement

In order to farm some kills, select Endurance mode because it is only comprised of battles that feature enemies which do not scale to your character level. They will die quickly against a higher level character. Also have a bow that has been upgraded to the highest tier to get action points at the start of the battle. This allows you to kill a few monsters with one or two shots. Respec your character at the church in Verloren and place points into weapon and skull damage and weapon critical chance. The goal is to do as much damage as quickly as possible, as you will not actually by completing Endurance mode. A critical hit with a fully upgraded bow can do at least 30 damage, allowing you to eliminate some enemies in two or three turns without any gem matching. When Endurance mode begins, the first monster is always a swarm of rats. You should be able to kill them in a single turn because they have 10 HP. Progress through the easy battles that you can complete in less than five moves (for example, the first row of fights), then cancel out of Endurance mode. Avoid longer fights to save time. Repeat the process as many times as needed.

Easy "You Only Live Thrice" Achievement

You actually need to kill an undead creature four times. Regeneration only happens about 50% of the time. The third area of story mode has a lot of undead creatures that can regenerate, such as Ghouls, Skeleton Warriors and Giant Skeletons.

Easy "You're Doing It Wrong" Achievement

There are two battles where you must use an item, and those occasions will not end in being disqualified: the Hammer of Righteousness in the "Catacombs" and Molten Metal in "Black Iron Furnace". However, do not use items in any other battle. This will not prove difficult if you have a decent character and use abilities for most of your healing and damage. Use the Assassin instead of the Paladin because of the "strike" abilities. Also, select the easy difficulty setting. The most difficult battle will be shortly after the start, against a troll that is attacking Verloren. You cannot use the torch to stop it from regenerating.

Easy chest items

When doing the puzzles for treasure chests, go to "Options" and choose "Exit Game" before completing the mini-game. You can do the puzzle again as many times as desired until you get the item you want.
