This is a complete guide to getting all achievements in the game.

Each achievement has an image of itself as well as its name and the game description of said achievement in a code box beside the image. Below the image and the code box are my notes which clarify the (sometimes) cryptic descriptions. I also add a few tips here and there to help you optimize your time spent hunting the more time-consuming achievements.

Additionally, there are some game terms that I will reference throughout the guide:

• Level: these are marked in underline and are one of the three campaigns that you can play (City of the Undead, Dwarven Mountains, and Enchanted Forest).
  
• Stage: these are marked in italics and are any of the 13 zones which you can visit within a Level (such as Old Town, Mountain Foot, Green Woods, etc.). Each Stage has seven Areas with battles.
  
• Area: these are referenced by their number (third, fourth, etc.) and refer to one of the seven battles within a specific Stage.
  
• Enemies and equipment are marked in bold.

Any achievements that require you to kill certain enemies can be done with multiple classes. For example, you could kill two of each of the Kings with three different classes.

If there are any errors with my information, you can confirm any unconfirmed claims that I've added (unconfirmed claims are in bold), or you have new information to add, then leave a comment with proof of your claim (a screenshot or video) and I will eventually look into it.

Check out this wiki for basic information on where to get every item: https://card-quest.fandom.com/wiki/Card_Quest_Wiki

In the future, I plan on making a comprehensive "Item Guide" which will cover what the items do because the game and the above wiki don't explain things very well or things are bugged and don't work as intended (as far as I can tell).

That being said, the wiki is a great resource for where to find the items but isn't very detailed beyond being a basic list of the items. This led me to playtest the items and noting their stats and properties for myself so I figured that I may as well put pen to paper, so to speak, and share that information with whoever plays this game.

Anyways, hopefully this guide helped you get some of the more mysterious achievements!
