The Beginning Achievements

Let's kick things off with some of the early achievements you'll snag. These are usually tied to the core mechanics and story progression, so you'll likely get them naturally as you play.

Deal with the Devil

This is one of those achievements that's super straightforward. You'll unlock it pretty early on, right after you decide to start your own cult for the mysterious figure known as 'The One Who Waits'. It's basically your entry ticket into the main game loop!

Indoctrination

After you meet the wise old Ratau and he starts dropping some serious knowledge about building your cult and the path ahead, you'll soon get the chance to bring your very first follower into your fold. This achievement pops when you successfully indoctrinate that first follower. It's a key moment, marking the true start of your cult's journey!

First Mini-Boss Defeated

You'll get this achievement once you manage to take down your first mini-boss. Honestly, as you push through the game's early dungeons and challenges, it's almost impossible to miss this one. Keep fighting, and you'll get it!

First Doctrine Chosen

This one is as simple as it sounds! You'll earn this achievement as soon as you make your first choice regarding your cult's doctrines. These choices shape how your followers live and worship, so pick wisely!
