Tips for Completionists
- Track via Steam overlay â Shift+Tab shows which achievements you have unlocked and which are hidden
- Hidden achievements show as "???" but SteamDB lists their global unlock percentages, giving you clues about difficulty
- Survival achievements are cumulative â you do not need to do them in one continuous play session
- Portal World achievements require visiting ALL portal worlds â including the optional ones (Night Realm, Voussoir, Canaan)
- Most combat achievements unlock naturally through normal play. You rarely need to grind them specifically
