Tainted Grail Achievements: All 65 Unlocks Explained

Updated 2026-10-05: Steam still lists 65 achievements and 22 public conditions after patch 1.30; Bear Handed is quoted using the current Steam wording without assuming whether the new Fistfighting Weapons count.

TL;DR: 65 total achievements, 22 with publicly confirmed unlock conditions and 43 hidden. Leveling runs from level 5 (The Journey Begins) to level 50 (A Legend in the Making). Crafting, cooking, brewing, and lockpicking each have their own collection achievement. At least 4 hidden achievements confirm Sanctuary of Sarras story content by name. The rest stay a mystery until you reach them.

How many achievements does Tainted Grail have? (quick answer)

65, confirmed directly on Steam's own achievement stats page for the game (appid 1466060). 22 of them list a real, specific unlock condition. The remaining 43 show only a name and icon until unlocked, Steam's standard treatment for spoiler-sensitive achievements in narrative games.

Key takeaways

• 65 total achievements, verified via Steam's live stats page.
• 22 confirmed conditions, covering leveling, crafting, exploration, and combat.
• 43 hidden achievements, whose unlock conditions Steam does not publish.
• Leveling chain: level 5, 20, 35, and 50, each with its own achievement.
• At least 4 achievements confirm Sanctuary of Sarras content by name, even though their exact triggers aren't public.
• No datamined list exists yet as of this writing. Treat any third-party "full achievement guide" claiming to know all 43 hidden conditions with suspicion until it cites Steam or an official source.

The 22 achievements with confirmed unlock conditions

Progression and leveling

Four achievements track your character level directly, spaced out across the full leveling curve:

• The Journey Begins: reach level 5.
• Marked by Avalon: reach level 20.
• Forged in the Wyrdness: reach level 35.
• A Legend in the Making: reach level 50, the highest confirmed level-based achievement in the game.

Combat and skills

• Master of One: max out a single Skill Proficiency.
• Soft Underbelly: hit an enemy's weak spot 100 times, cumulative across the whole game, not one fight.
• Bear Handed: Steam says to kill a bear using fists. The achievement page does not clarify whether the new Fistfighting Weapons category qualifies.
• Unleash the Legend: kill 5 enemies with a single use of Arthur's Power.
• My Wolves Are Better Than Yours: defeat 10 wolves using summoned wolves of your own.
• Prey of the Wyrdness: get ambushed during Wyrdnight, the nighttime window when the Wyrdstalker boss can find you outside protected areas.

Combat achievements like Soft Underbelly and Unleash the Legend accumulate across every fight you have, named enemies included, not just dedicated boss encounters.

Crafting, cooking, and economy

• Hands of Creation: craft 10 items.
• Brew It Yourself: brew 25 potions.
• Master Chef: cook 50 dishes.
• It's Alive!: cultivate a plant.
• The One Percent: amass a wealth of 10,000.
• Home Sweet Home: buy a property.

Crafting and equipment achievements track cumulative actions, not one specific item, so casual play across a full run clears most of them naturally.

Exploration and collection

• Pages of Experience: unlock 25 journal entries.
• Keyless Entry Specialist: lockpick 50 locks.
• Strider: visit all the main regions of Avalon.
• Pilgrim of the Wilds: visit every sacred site where the Stagfather's presence lingers.
• For Academic Purposes: find all books about Liliana.
• The Fisher-King's Successor: catch all fish species in Avalon, the game's full fishing collection achievement.

The 43 hidden achievements: what we know and what we don't

Steam hides the unlock condition for 43 of Tainted Grail's 65 achievements, showing only the name until you earn it. That's a deliberate spoiler-prevention choice for a narrative RPG, not a documentation gap on our end, and it means this section names every hidden achievement honestly without guessing at what triggers it.

Four confirm Sanctuary of Sarras content by name, which is about as safe an inference as a hidden achievement allows, since the DLC itself is real and already covered on this site: The Sanctuary of Sarras, The Awakening of Sarras, The Melody of Sarras, and The Fate of Sarras. Beyond confirming that the DLC has its own achievement track, we don't know what any of the four specifically require.

The other 39 hidden achievements, listed here by name as Steam shows them, with zero invented explanations attached:

The Once and Future King, The Hollow Blade, The Fate of the Horns, New Friend, Shackles of Faith, The Audience, Shouldn't Have Done That, Forged in Loss, Chains or Freedom, The Shield of Avalon, Last One of the Season, Ailei's Healthcare System, The Sporeborn King, Shadow of the Giants, King of Avalon, Crown of Ashes, Blooming Friendship, The Keeper of the South, Justice Delivered, Yours Forever, Fate of the Crows, Bleeding Heart of the Plague, The Cost of Curiosity, No Chains, No Destiny, The Spark of Creation, And My Axe!, The Stonewarden, By My Own Hand, Trinity, Beyond the Veil, Ironic, Gates Are Unnecessary, Pen Mightier Than Sword, Honor Over Life, Double Identity, WAAAOOOAAGGHH!!!, The Oracle's Cluck, The Deadliest Catch, and The Gilded Miracle.

A few of these read like plausible story or region beats based on their names alone (Avalon's kingship, faction politics, companion relationships), but reading a plausible theme into a name isn't the same as confirming it, and this guide isn't going to fabricate specific trigger conditions to sound more complete than it actually is. If a future patch or an official source documents any of these, we'll update this guide.

Tips for achievement hunting in Tainted Grail

Play a full, unrushed campaign rather than farming specific triggers

Most of the 22 confirmed achievements (crafting 10 items, cooking 50 dishes, brewing 25 potions) unlock naturally across a normal playthrough that engages with the game's systems instead of rushing the main story. If you're aiming for full completion, slow down and actually use the systems Questline built.

Save Bear Handed for when you've got a build that can survive fist combat

Fighting a bear with fists is deliberately risky. Do it early with a fragile build and it's a real death risk; do it later once you have decent Endurance and healing options, and it's a manageable stunt. Steam does not document whether the new Fistfighting Weapons count for this achievement.

Don't trust a "full hidden achievement list" that doesn't cite Steam or an official source

As of this writing, no datamine or official document explains what the 43 hidden achievements require. Any guide claiming otherwise should be treated skeptically until it links a verifiable source.

Step-by-Step: getting the leveling achievement chain

1. The Journey Begins: reach character level 5. This happens naturally within your first few hours regardless of build.

2. Marked by Avalon: reach level 20. Around this point you'll have entered Cuanacht, the game's second region, which has noticeably harder enemies than Avalon.

3. Forged in the Wyrdness: reach level 35. This lines up roughly with taking on Cuanacht's tougher named bosses and the Wyrdstalker at a comfortable level.

4. A Legend in the Making: reach level 50, the highest level-based achievement Steam confirms for the game.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many achievements does Tainted Grail have? 65 total, confirmed directly on Steam's achievement stats page. 22 have public unlock conditions; the other 43 are hidden on Steam, which does not publish their triggers.

What is the highest level achievement in Tainted Grail? A Legend in the Making, unlocked at character level 50. The full leveling chain runs The Journey Begins (level 5), Marked by Avalon (level 20), Forged in the Wyrdness (level 35), then A Legend in the Making (level 50).

Are there achievements for the Sanctuary of Sarras DLC in Tainted Grail? Yes, at least 4 by name: The Sanctuary of Sarras, The Awakening of Sarras, The Melody of Sarras, and The Fate of Sarras. All 4 are hidden achievements with no public unlock condition, likely tied to specific story beats in the DLC.

What does Bear Handed require in Tainted Grail? Steam says to kill a bear using fists. Because the new Fists of Fury patch adds Fistfighting Weapons, check the current achievement behavior in-game rather than assuming that category qualifies.

How do you get The Fisher-King's Successor achievement? Catch every fish species in Avalon. It's a full collection achievement, so expect to fish across every region and body of water the game offers, not just the ones near your starting area.

Does Tainted Grail have a wealth or economy achievement? Yes, The One Percent, which requires amassing 10,000 in currency. Combined with Home Sweet Home (buy a property), it's the closest thing to an economy-focused achievement track in the game.
