Some guides for some achievements in Void Shadows.

[ArrangedKarma]

Hi.
As you might guess from the title of the post, since Void Shadows is still relatively new at the time of posting, there are not many achievement guides out there for the new achievements, so I figured I would post about the ones I've personally unlocked when playing through this dlc. This will contain spoilers, so consider yourself warned.
In no particular order;

Death Waltz ; This achievement is fairly easy, requiring you to kill 3 enemies with the Death Waltz heroic act/desperate measure in one turn. You'll likely get this one when first meeting Kibellah, as she has some random goons to kill to show off her abilities. If not, just bring her along, weaken some enemies and use the ability near them. This goes for a Rogue Trader MC with the Bladedancer archetype.

Mysteries of the Ecclesiarchy ; to get this one, you need to head to your ships chapel with atleast 5 other companions, either by getting them from Rykad or making some custom mercs. Either way once there, there are pressure plates on the floor that you have to step on in order to spell out the word that is in capitals on the glass case. Might take a few attempts but once its done you get "Unquenchable Fury", a rather meh power maul, and this achievement. Im cant remember if you have to do the side quests from the acolytes in the corners of the room, but if you unlock the maul and dont get it, you might have to do some side quests.

At Home Among The Poor ; During you first visit to the Freight Line, you'll have quite a few opportunities to hang out with the local populace and interact with them. Im not sure if you have to ALL of them, but the one that made the achievement pop with me is speaking to the Foreman next to the massive green vat, and accepting his offer to taste the food. Im not sure if passing or failing affects it, but I passed and said the food was good. So I would advise talking to as many npc's as you can in the Freight Line and for sure talking to the Foreman.

Mind Your Head ; On your first visit to the Freight Line, around halfway through the area near the pipe river that leads to the Foremans area, you'll come across some switches that move a crane arm. Moving the crane arm to move the big silver crate opens a new area with some minor loot. But once the crane is holding the crate, move it back to the right over the crouching Guardsman. Lower it onto him for the achievement. You monster.

Slumdog Overlord ; This is unmissable I think, once your business on your first visit to the Freight Line is concluded, you'll speak to the Enforcer in charge. You'll have the 3 usual options, Dogmatic Heretical and Iconoclast, and picking any one of these will give your ship a unique talent and this achievement. (Iconoclast 4 lyfe)

Best Pilots in the Sector ; Fairly self explanatory, at some point you'll have the option of installing fighter squadrons in place of your torpedoes. You can get them from trading with the Imperial navy. Deploy them in space combat and use them to finish off low health enemy ships and hey presto, achievement is yours.

Getting into spoilers now, so if you dont want spoilers for some upcoming moments in the dlc, turn away now

You Were Warned ; At some point during act 2, you'll have to speak your head astropath to perform a ritual to find where the infiltrators are. To do this ritual you'll need a psyker, just give the job to Idira. This will make the fight somewhat harder since you'll have to fight more enemies with 1 less party member but it can be done.
Another achievement "Stay away from my psykers" can also be gotten here, but I think you need to use someone other than Idira for the ritual, since I tried to get both at once but no luck.

Malum Se Ipsum Devorat ; Translated from latin, this means "evil devours itself", which is fitting for this achievement. During the bossfight in the dynastic crypts, you fight a boss named Magnus with a shield who drops a high damage aoe on your party every turn. in order to get this achievement, you need to make sure he targets it near himself and kills himself in order to end the fight. Sounds easy on paper, but the fight can be tough as there are alot of enemies between him and you, along with 3-4 bunkers that can only be killed with said aoe. My advice is to rush past those bunkers as best you can and rush straight to the boss, killing all the other enemies to make it easier. I would recommend hitting the boss a few times to make sure his health is low enough to actually kill him. Then just grab all your party members and stand next to him, since he targets them at random.

This Task Is For The Lord Captain Only ; After fighting the 3 armed Genestealer, this achievement should unlock (I think?), but only if you personally investigate everything involving your bloodbath. Basically, during act 2 when you're dealing with the investigation, always pick the option that says something like "I will get personally involved" and dont pick anything that lets you skip anything by allowing subordinates to handle something. This doesnt apply to the Kibellah section, so dont worry.

Thats all the ones I've personally unlocked at time of writing, but here are some quickfire ones that I've missed that I think I know how to get.

It Itches! ; During your first visit to the Freight Line, you will eventually pick up a rash and should get a quest to deal with it. Just dont. But if you want to, talk to your doctor guy on the bridge and he'll cure it right away.

This is Fine ; During the fight with the confessor, just dont take any damage with your Rogue Trader MC. This can be quite tough, since all the enemies in this fight tend to use aoe weapons, flamers and flame grenades. This will most likely take a few attempts. but just keep your trader in the back and try and use someone like Heinrix or Abelard and their taunts to keep their focus on them, not you.

Well Deserved Rest ; Not sure what all available companions exactly means, but im gonna assume it means Yrilet, Marazhai and the fellow Rogue Trader you recruit in act 4. To bathe, just go your quarters and interact with the bath.

Fool me once ; After googling, it seems to get this one, during act 4 on the final fight on the bridge, pick the options to join the genestealer cult. This can only go well, right?

And thats it, hopefully this guide helps you get some achievements you might've missed. If you have some tips to add, post em below.

I'm pretty sure you have to talk to the Foreman before the fight to try the food

For the "Well Deserved Rest" you don't need any of the secret companions imo. I got it after act 3 after asking for Mara and Ulfar for the first time as soon as I was back in ship.
