The Story of the Explorer

Guide to unlocking all achievements in Curse of the Dead Gods, including boss fights, blessings, weapons, and Perception.

Hey there! So you're diving into Curse of the Dead Gods and want to get a handle on things? This guide is inspired by some great resources out there, but I'm adding my own spin and experience to help you snag all those achievements. Think of this as a friendly chat about how to tackle each one.

Let's break down what you'll need to do to become a true explorer of this cursed temple!

Achievements Breakdown

Avidity: Defeat the Dark Avatar of the Serpent

This one means you've gotta make it all the way to the end of the Serpent Temple and take down its ultimate boss. It's a tough fight, but there are strategies out there to help you out. Check out the linked guide for some pointers on how to handle the Dark Avatar of the Serpent.

Awareness: Defeat Xucat', the Witch

Xucat' is your first major hurdle in the Serpent Temple, a Champion boss. Don't underestimate her! The linked guide has some good tips on how to approach this fight and come out on top.

Belief: Unlock a Blessing of the Dead Gods

To get this, you'll need to go on a run, collect Crystal Skulls from fallen enemies, and then head back to the main hub. Once you're there, find that circular stone tile on the floor – that's your upgrade station. Pop into the 'Blessings' tab and buy yourself one. Easy peasy!

Clairvoyance: Complete any exploration with 50 or more Perception

This achievement is all about boosting your Perception stat. You'll need to collect a good number of upgraded Relics and Weapons, and make sure you're grabbing Attribute Rooms along the way. Keep your eye on the prize and don't waste resources on upgrades that won't help you hit that 50 Perception mark. Pro-tip: The Sich'al's Treasures blessings can really help you out here.

Collection: Unlock 20 Forsaken Weapons

Similar to unlocking Blessings, but this time you're hunting for Jade Rings. You get these by beating Champions and Bosses. Back in the hub, use those rings in the 'upgrades' menu under the Forsaken Weapons tab to unlock them. Get collecting!

Cruelty: Defeat the Dark Avatar of the Jaguar

This is your ticket to conquering the Jaguar Temple. You need to reach its final level and defeat the big bad boss there. Like the Serpent Avatar, there are strategies available if you get stuck. The linked guide has some solid advice for this fight.
