All Ears and No Stone Unturned achievements!

[R1CK]

I finish the game in normal, cruel and merciless, right now I'm doing end game maps. I was curious about those achievements, I have in game "All Ears 171 of 190" and "No stone 25 of 49" I'm prety sure I listen to all optional NPC dialogue, and I saw all the environmental lore.

Does anyone have those achievements and know exactly how to get them?

For the No Stone Unturned achiev, I'm positive you need to click some of the lores multiple times (around 17 different lores within the Letters of Exile at the very beginning of Act 1 and then there are various books somewhere in the Act 3 library - didn't get that far yet).

As far as the All Ears achiev goes, it's just -excuse me- pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.
Most of the dialogues disappear if you don't read them at the given moment and I'm not entirely sure if you can get them all in one play-through, unless you precisely know what you are doing, step by step.

I'm not all too happy about it, to be honest, but oh well...

(you can search the official PoE forum for more detailed info )

You have to side with all 3 bandits,.

Dialogue options also get removed while you may not notice it. For example, if you free the girl in the Chambers of Sin and go back without taking the gem, the girl in the encampment will tell you to go back and get it. If you take the gem right away, you never get this speech option. Similarly, there is one that you get when you climb the pyramid, but go back before placing the apex. And you need to side with all bandits and also kill them all, which is four different dialogues). There're more that can be missed.

Also, you have to do the library many times in order to get all the books that can spawn in there. It's different, random ones every time.

Are you sure about this? The achievement requires you to get all the dialogues with ONE character. You can side with one bandit in Normal, with second bandit in Cruel and with the last bandit in Merci... and then? How can you also get the dialogue for killing them all?
Wouldn't you need the fourth play-through for that?

Besides, don't take my word for this, but if I remember it correctly, someone on the offic. forum mentioned that Eramir has no special dialogue for killing all three bandits.

Actually, that's a really good point. No, I'm not sure, because I mentally shelved that achievement until someone makes a step-by-step guides that I can blindly follow without contracting OCD! Hmm. I could have sword that Eramir has a different dialogue if you kill them all, but I wouldn't swear on that. If someone said he doesn't, they probably tried it.

This achievement really needs an in-game list with little checkmarks. It's not something that can be completed "naturally".

You have to side with each one of the bandits. The dialog you get for killing them all is not considered "optional" so isn't included for the achievement. There is a thread about it on PoE's forums where GGG stated that.

I'm also waiting for a step by step guide before doing that.

100% agree.
I guess I'll start spamming the PoE forum and will demand an official statement from GGG haha

I found 183 dialogues, even though I took the extra time and effort to check back frequently, even teleporting into towns multiple times while dealing with Q items... I honestly have no freaking idea where are the 7 dialogues I'm missing.

GGG definitelly NEED to tell us something about this achiev!

Well... there is a list for No stone unturned at http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1ubua7/guide_no_stone_unturned/
Haven't confirmed it myself though.

There is a thread in the official forums with a list of all the dialogue for this achievement:

All Ears Achievement Dialogue List and Lore

The problem with that thread is that, while it provides some lines to follow, it's not complete.

(Current total: 159-182 optional out of 190 required)

Personally, I found 183 of the dialogues and that's it. No sight of the other 7 dialogues
I'd really like to hear some official statement from the Devs, because this particular achievement seems just way too difficult to obtain, despite all the effort one may put into it.

Well as i understand you have to do it with one char.
You need to kill all three bandits and help each of them. (Possible to do i guess, with book of regrets- look vendor recipes)
You also need to speak everytime with Captain (the one who attack you in act1 and he is found also at act3. But be careful there because if you miss any stupid chat option you will be not able to speak with him ever again), the ghost in library before and after quest and with Lady Diala.
