Achievements

From Caves of Qud Wiki
(Redirected from Cubic and Wisest Human)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Spoiler Warning: This article contains information normally only found in the course of advancing the main quest line.

There are a total of 140 Steam achievements awarded for completing certain tasks in Caves of Qud. Of these 140, 53 are hidden; meaning that neither the requirements for completion nor the achievement's icon are displayed until after the player has completed them. These hidden achievements are displayed further down the page in a separate section from the non-hidden achievements.

Note: Many achievements such as Open Your Mind will kill the player (or have other highly undesirable effects). In these cases, using Precognition or a sphynx salt injector for True Kin before dying will still award the achievement. It is also possible to use Domination to obtain some (but not all) of these achievements by killing the player-controlled creature instead of the player character.

These are currently only available for players playing on Steam clients.

Non-Hidden Achievements

A Bond Knit with Trust

A Bond Knit with Trust.png Become loved by a faction.
Have a reputation of +600 or more with one of the in-game Factions.

Reputation can be gained by performing water rituals with legendary creatures liked or loved by a faction and by killing legendary creatures disliked or hated by a faction. Reputation can also be gained by giving secrets in the water ritual with faction members, completing quests for that faction, or by equipping certain gear or having certain mutations.

The Mechanimists in particular are easy to get large amounts of reputation with. Simply toss artifacts in the sacred well at the Six Day Stilt to gain reputation proportional to their commerce value. Artifacts such as the laser rifle are easy to tinker but have a high value.

Absolute Unit

Absolute Unit.png Successfully cook a meal with neutron flux as an ingredient.
Cooking with neutron flux (typically stored within a phial) has a 90% chance to succeed. However, be aware that failure will cause a gravitational collapse (instant death).

Aleph

Nephil12.png Defeat one of the Girsh Nephilim.
Kill one of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.

Arconaut

Arconaut achieve2.png Descend 50 strata deep.
Travel 50 strata deep into the earth, most easily accomplished with use of spiral borers.

Become as Gods.png Bestow life to 20 inanimate objects.
Inanimate objects can be animated through the application of Spray-a-Brain or a nano-neuro animator.

Belong, Friends

Belong, Friends.png Help the slynth find a new home.
Main article: Landing Pads

Biographer

Biographer.png Learn the complete history of a single sultan.
Learn every piece of historical gossip about the life of a single Sultan.

Gossip can be learned through a variety of methods: viewing shrines, asking for secrets during water rituals, rifling through trash with Trash Divining, looking at painted or engraved items, cooking with psychal gland paste and exploring new areas while infected by mumble mouth.

Bet

Nephil22.png Defeat two of the Girsh Nephilim in a single playthrough
Kill two of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.


Byevalve

Byevalve.png Enter 100 giant clams.
Giant clams are commonly found in Lake Hinnom and the Palladium Reef.

Clonal Colony

Clonal Colony.png Share the map with 30 clones of yourself.
Can be achieved with a space inverter fitted with a beamsplitter by shooting at several walls. Ruins usually have a good geometry for this. It is much easier to obtain with a high quickness and pistol skills as the clones disappear after 5 rounds. Alternatively, drink or cook cloning draught, use Temporal Fugue, or combine cloning methods to have several clones of yourself.

Close the Loop

Close the Loop.png Recover Kindrish.
Find and acquire Kindrish, the lost bracelet of the hindren of Bey Lah. Its location can be learned from Trolls by asking them for secrets during a water ritual.

The location will always be the center zone of a random tier 4-6 parasang, between 0-9 strata deep. It will be generated either within a normal colored chest, a creature's inventory, or on the ground.

Cubic and Wisest Human

Cubic and Wisest Human.png Activate a time cube.
Come into possession of a timecube, and then activate it. A time cube is also one of the few artifacts which can earn the achievement Donation Level: Kasaphescence when cast down into the sacred well.

Thus, if you have it, it is a good idea to use Precognition (or a sphynx salt injector, if you are True Kin) before activating your timecube so that you can earn the achievement and still have a timecube to cast into the sacred well.

Dalet

Nephil4.png Defeat four of the Girsh nephilim in a single playthrough.
Kill four of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.

Dark Tidings

Dark Tidings.png Foresee your own death.
Die while in a precognitive vision from using Precognition or a sphynx salt injector for True Kin.

Dawnglider

Auroral.png Become auroral.
Catch fire while you are coated in plasma.

Dayenu

Dayenu.png Give the repulsive device to all four children of the Tomb.
Once inside the Tomb of the Eaters, kill or trade with k-Goninon for the repulsive device. The device can then be given to one of the four children: Nacham, Va'am, Dagasha, and Kah. This is the final objective of the Fraying Favorites quest.

This achievement will typically require multiple playthroughs, as only one repulsive device can be found and it cannot be duplicated with metamorphic polygel. However, Precognition can be used to give the repulsive device to one of the children of the Tomb for achievement progress and then revert back to keep the device.

Donation Level: Kasaphescence

Donation Level Kasaphescence.png Make an offering at the Sacred Well of an artifact worth at least 200 reputation.
Main article: Sacred well

Throw an artifact worth 200 reputation or more into the sacred well.

timecubes, Hand-E-Nukes or phase cannons are the only artifacts valuable enough to give 200 reputation when cast into the well.

Dream within a Dream

Dream in a dream.png Enter a waking dream from within a waking dream.
This will require you to be hit by a Crungling Gaze from a dreamcrungle whilst already within a waking dream.

This achievement is highly chance-based and usually hinges on awakening as a creature in the Moon Stair, as most creatures do not carry any water and thus cannot travel long distances without dehydrating to death.

Eat an Entire Bear

Eat an Entire Bear.png Kill a bear and eat it. Just eat an entire bear.
Kill a bear and eat its corpse raw by picking up the bear corpse, waiting until you are famished or hungrier, and choosing to eat it.

Players with the Carnivorous (D) mutation need not wait until they are famished.

Feast Upon the Goat Hearts! *cheers*

Mamon.png Perform the water ritual with Mamon Souldrinker.
Travel to Kyakukya and begin the Raising Indrix quest to receive directions to Mamon Souldrinker's location.

To perform the water ritual with Mamon, he must be made neutral or friendly by raising the player's Children of Mamon reputation (from the default of -600 to at least -249) or by recruiting him as a follower with Beguiling Proselytize, or a love injector.

Friend to Fungi

Friend to Fungi.png Host 3 different fungal infections at once.
Become the host of 3 different types of fungal infection.

This can be easily achieved by walking near three differently colored broodpuffs. Make sure that one fungal infection has grown before walking near the next broodpuff, as itchy skin does not stack and walking into more spores will not change the infection type. This can also be achieved by water-ritualing legendary fungi and asking them to colonize your body.

Gemini

Gemini.png Wield Caslainard and Polluxus.
Wield Caslainard & Polluxus, Crowsong's two electrified longswords.

Killing Crowsong is, for obvious reasons, an expedient. They are affiliated with the Village of Kyakukya, so you need to worry about others joining in the fight. However, dominating will also suffice. Unequipping and re-eqiupping a sword is required as the achievement is only checked when they are equipped.

Go on. Do it.

Go on. Do it..png Wield the amaranthine prism.
Kill Mamon Souldrinker and equip the amaranthine prism that he drops.

Note that once you equip the amaranthine prism there is no way to remove it, and it will eventually kill your character. Using Precognition or equipping it on another body using Domination is necessary for this to not be fatal.

Goat Simulator

Goat Simulator.png Project your mind into a goat's body.
Dominate a goat.

Get in the Robot

Get in the robot.png Infiltrate a temple mecha.
Infiltrating a temple mecha mk Ia, temple mecha mk II, or temple mecha mk Ib can be done by interacting with it and then selecting the Infiltrate option. This will perform a melee attack which has a 10% chance to infiltrate per penetration.

Gimel

Nephil3.png Defeat three of the Girsh nephilim in a single playthrough.
Kill three of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.

He

Nephil5.png Defeat five of the Girsh nephilim in a single playthrough.
Kill five of the six Girsh Nephilim that can be found in various locations in Qud.

Heat Death

Heat Death.png Get vaporized.
To be vaporized your temperature needs to be above 10,000. This can be accomplished with relative ease via being covered in plasma and then detonating multiple thermal grenade mk IIIs on top of your character in quick succession. Alternatively, Great magma crabs have the same burn point and vaporization point, meaning they will vaporize from overdosing on blaze injectors.

I-

I-.png Wink out of existence.
Die by ceasing to exist in one of several ways; see instant death.

Imagine a Rubber Sheet

Rubber Sheet.png Dash yourself on the crags of spacetime.
Die to damage from failing to contest normality.

Love at First Sign

Love at First Sign.png Fall in love with a sign.
Inject yourself with a love injector and look at a sign.

Mouse control is required for this achievement, as looking through keyboard commands means the cursor will always start to centered on yourself, making you fall in love with yourself before you have a chance to look at a sign. Turn on mouse controls, apply love injector, and right click a sign to look at it.

Love Thyself.png Fall in love with yourself.

Have either yourself or a follower ready an axe and use Dismember on the delicious visitors. Then cook a meal with the limb of a hunter turned prey. Alternatively, they can be recruited and have a limb removed via Amputate Limb or being made to fight a creature with Dismember. Infecting them with Ironshank or a fungal infection is required in order for them to allow the limb to be amputated.

Open Your Mind

Open Your Mind.png Have your head explode.
Die to the burst of damage at the end of Sunder Mind.

Dying to any other damage from Sunder Mind does not count. It may be prudent to bring a supply of healing items in order to make sure that you have enough health to survive the 10 turns of mental attacks but not enough health to survive the cumulative burst at the end.
