Curse of the Dead Gods Achievements Guide

 
 

Introduction

 
Curse of the dead gods is a game developed by Passtech Games, an independant video game studio based in Lyon, France. 
My guide is inspired by the one done by the website neoseeker, see link at the end. I do not work with them or for them. I like what they did, I wanted to add upon it from my own experience with the game and since there was no guide on Steam about achievements, I decided to make one. 
 
 

Avidity

Belief

 
 
Unlock a Blessing of the Dead Gods 

---

 
You’ll need to perform at least a single run in which you obtain Crystal Skulls by defeating Enemies, and when you return to the game’s main hub, interact with the circular stone tile that’s in the floor to open the upgrade menu. Once there, just navigate to the ‘Blessings’ tab and you’ll be able to purchase whichever you wish. 
 
 

Clairvoyance

 
 
Complete any exploration with 50 or more Perception 

---

 
You’ll need to collect a certain amount of upgraded Relics, Weapons and go through enough Attribute Rooms so that you get your Perception to reach at least 50 points. Never forget the objective you’ve got and don’t spend on items and upgrades that won’t help you achieve this! 
An easy way to do it is to use the Sich’al’s Treasures blessings 
 
 

Collection

 
 
Unlock 20 Forsaken Weapons 

---

 
This works similarly to the Belief Achievement – though you’ll depend in another sort of currency. This time, you’ll have to collect Jade Rings, which are given after beating Champions or Bosses, and once you’re back in the game’s hub, use them to purchase Forsaken Weapons through the tab of the same name in the ‘upgrades’ menu. 
 
 

Cruelty

 
 
Defeat the Dark Avatar of the Jaguar 

---

 
This achievement requires that you reach the last Level of the Jaguar Temple and beat its Final Boss. 
 
You can click on the following link to be directed to a section containing strategy tips on how to kill him.

Curiosity

 
 
Start a “Special Events” 

---

 
Though we haven’t covered since they don’t have to do with the game’s main story, “Special Events” are funny challenging scenarios with decent rewards the game let’s you take on. You can select them from the very same place in which you access the temple – they’ll be in the very bottom of the map. Good luck! 
 
 

Depravity

 
 
Defeat Ratyapu, the Abomination 

---

 
Ratyapu can be found in the second level of the Serpent Temple onwards. 
 
You can click on the following link to be directed to a section containing strategy tips on how to kill him.

Devotion

 
 
Unlock 20 Blessings of the Dead Gods 

---

 
Pretty self explanatory. 
 
 

Diligence

 
 
Complete 10 different “Special Events” 

---

 
As you go on completing these “Special Events”, new will appear. Your objective, as you know, will be to successfully complete ten different ones. 
You can do Duplicate events, for example I did the Curse archer twice 
 
**Warning if you die or leave the game midway through you will fail the event** 
 
 

Essay

 
 
Write 5 Bestiary entries 

---

 
Entries in the Bestiary are written as you beat certain amounts of the same Enemy. So the best way to complete 5 different Bestiary entries as fast as possible is to keep doing the same level after you’ve reached said thresholds. 
Otherwise, just relax and keep playing the game. This achievement shall come soon enough. 
 
 

Exhumation

 
 
Unlock 5 Forsaken Weapons 

---

 
This works similarly to the Belief Achievement – though you’ll depend in another sort of currency. This time, you’ll have to collect Jade Rings, which are given after beating Champions or Bosses, and once you’re back in the game’s hub, use them to purchase Forsaken Weapons through the tab of the same name in the ‘upgrades’ menu. 
 
 

Greed

 
 
Achieve a x10 “Greed Kill” series 

---

 
This will be achieved best through upgraded Weapons that enable for fast combos. With one of those equipped, you shouldn’t have no issue defeating 10 different enemies before your Greed Counter empties up. 
An easy way to do it is to use the Reptilian Hunger blessing. It will allow your greed kill count to never run out out of combat and does not reset between rooms. 
 
 

Initiation

 
 
Complete the room of Trials 

---

 
Basically, complete the game’s tutorial. All that needs to be done is do what the game tells you to do. That’s it. 
 
 

Insanity

 
 
Make 10 Blood Offerings during a single exploration 

---

 
Every time you encounter a monolyth in which you can purchase Attributes, Upgrades, Weapons or Relics, pay with Corruption – that is what a ‘Blood Offering’ is. In order to get 10 chances at this, you’ll have to attempt this at larger levels, so from level 2 onwards only. 
 
 

Invention

 
 
Defeat Malok paal, the Flesh Monstrosity 

---

 
Malok Paal is an Eagle Temple Champion, found from its second level onwards. You can read strategy tips regarding his battle by clicking here.

Invulnerability

 
 
Complete any exploration with 50 or more Constitution 

---

 
You’ll need to collect a certain amount of upgraded Relics, Weapons and go through enough Attribute Rooms so that you get your Constitution to reach at least 50 points. Never forget the objective you’ve got and don’t spend on items and upgrades that won’t help you achieve this! 
An easy way to do it is to use T’amok’s Bones blessing. In the first room, lower your HP below 50% of is maximum. The more constitution you will get, the higher the 50% threshold will be, making it even easier. 
 
 

Memoirs

 
 
Write all Bestiary entries with their complete sketches 

---

 
Entries in the Bestiary are written as you beat certain amounts of the same Enemy. In addition, sketches are completed by achieving the same but with Elite variants, or other specific requirements you can read in their main pages, in the case of the last level entries. 
 
This is the probably the hardest and the most time consuming achievement of this game. As of today no one has been able to do it, based on the achievement leaderboard on Steam. 
 
 

Nobility

 
 
Defeat K’ax taca, High Lord of the Storm 

---

 
K’ax taca, High Lord of the Storm is the first Champion you encounter in the Eagle Temple. So sooner or later, you’re poised to unlock this achievement.

Omnipotence

 
 
Complete any exploration with 50 or more Dexterity 

---

 
You’ll need to collect a certain amount of upgraded Relics, Weapons and go through enough Attribute Rooms so that you get your Dexterity to reach at least 50 points. Never forget the objective you’ve got and don’t spend on items and upgrades that won’t help you achieve this! 
An easy way to do it is to use the Grace of the tempest blessing. Take your time, hit only when it is safe to do so and make sure to always have 1 point of stamina left over for a quick dodge if needed. 
 
 

Relief

 
 
Lift the Final Curse 

---

 
By “Final Curse”, this description is referring to Xbeltz’aloc’s Truth, which is given to you once you’ve accumulated 500 Corruptions and reached your fifth and final Curse. To be able lift a Corruption, you’ll have to beat a Mid-Stage Champion. So you’ll have to quickly accumulate Curses on purpose before them, then beat them. Sounds easy, except for the fact that this “Final Curse” slowly drains your HP until it’s just a single unit. 
 
 

Restoration

 
 
Unlock all Weapon Altars Upgrades 

---

 
We’ve explained this in our Weapon Unlocking section of our Weapons Guide and List. Basically, one of the upgrades you can perform is enabling ‘Weapon Altars’, which give you different weapons than your basic ones before you go on a run. In addition, these are upgradable, so that they offer different Classes of Weapons at better rarity – what you’ll need to do is unlock all the ‘Altars’ first, then spend several thousands of your Crystal Skulls in upgrading Weapon Rarity chances. 
 
 

Strength

 
 
Defeat Xak’olchir, the Blood Hunter 

---

 
Given that he’s the first Champion that appears in the Jaguar Temple, Xak’olchir is probably the first one you ever even battle!

Deception [Hidden]

 
 
Defeat Clovis Pardieux, Champion of Death 

---

 
Clovis Pardieux is the Final Boss of the Normal Exploration mode. To get to him, not only you have to have completed all previous three temples, but go through a whole new level before even being able to challenge him.

Deliverance [Hidden]

 
 
Become the new Champion of Death 

---

 
To unlock this achievement you need to complete both the Normal and Hard Exploration Modes. 
 
 

Mastery [Hidden]

 
 
Get 3 successful Parries in less than 2 seconds 

---

 
This is best achievable against multi hit Enemy attacks, like spins and the like. And, well, good luck at it, because it’ll solely rely on your correct timing. 
Personally, I did against the cursed Twins, more precisely with Nepac the Dark sister. She have a slash attack that does four consecutive hit. So equip a shield with an automatic parry, do your best to parry her attacks and hope that the shield will trigger if you miss one 
 
 

Power [Hidden]

 
 
Equip a hidden Champion Weapon 

---

 
Champion Weapons have a slight chance to dropped by Champions as long as you beat them while fulfilling different conditions. See table below to know how to get them: 
 

Champion	Weapon	Condition
Xak’olchir	“Bloodstake”, Hunter’s Torment	Kill him only after killing all his Jaguars
Wicked Twins	“Moonblade”, Night’s Sword / “Cataclysm”	Parry 3 of Nepac’s / Litz’s hits.
Kax’taca	”Effulgence”, Harbinger of Yaatz	You need to inflict the fatal blow to K’ax Taca while he is attacking with his laser/lightning beam.
Malok paal	“Sunderer”, Fist of Doom	You need to perform 5 perfect dodges when he dashes.
Xucat	“K’etyaam yaan”, Witch’s Crook	Xucat has to be beaten while on Fire
Ratyapu	“Disembowler”, Dread Claw	Ratyapu has to be beaten while on Weakened

 
 
 

Temptation [Hidden]

 
 
Equip all three Weapons slots with Cursed Weapons 

---

 
The Weapons that we’ve highlighted in our Weapons List are the Cursed Weapons – very special weapons that are pretty rare. Luckily, once you’ve found them at least once, you’ll be able to unlock them through the Forsaken Weaponry shop, which will make it more likely for them to appear. Then, it’s just a matter of being very lucky and finding a Weapon that fits each Weapon Class in the same run, and being able to equip them all too, nonetheless. Good luck!
