Achievements in Spellforce 2 Demons of the Past

[Pan Maruda]

Dear community I have a few questions about achievements in Spellforce 2DotP.
1. Is "The Mace of the Guardians" Niethalfs Hammer or an another item?
2. What are the two secrets achievements?
3. Which Lich I suppose to kill to get the achievement?
4. Can side quests block the ending(to get achievement "Plains of Argan")?

1. The mace you need for that achievement is not Niethalfs hammer. You can buy the actual mace from the shady person on the map where you have to complete the trials of the gods. Its the guy in the city you have to sneak through that offers you to set the exploding barrel on fire. When you talk to him you have to offer him 100 gold to get it.
2. No idea how to get them myself.
3. The lich you are supposed to kill without him respawning is the lich on the first map. To do that you have to ignore him at first and destroy his base. Once all buildings are gone you are free to kill the lich.
4. The achievement for finishing the last map i didnt get either and i tried all i could to possibly unlock it. So unless someone corrects me on that, its buggy and broken and wont unlock unless you get really lucky.

Same Question 2: What are the two secrets achievements?

[artydent]

As for the last mission achievements, the simply weren't scripted, so I made a guide how modify the scripts accordingly. (Same for the 'Thou Shalt Not Pass' achievement, it's also in the guide.)

As for the two secret achievements, they are also not in any of the game's script files, but I refrained from scripting them in because I have no clue what their original intent might have been.

Seems like nothing has changed and even with Spellforce 3 you have buggy and broken ones.

Great that someone finally found a way to unlock the broken achievements in this mess.

Hey nice work and answer, could you post a link to your guide or say where to search for it?

Added a link to the guide to the post above.

Oh ♥♥♥♥.
I didn't know the "complete the game on difficulty X" achievements were bugged.
So now I finished the final map, didn't get ♥♥♥♥, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Darn.
I wanted to leave a positive review but now I'm too salty to do it.

I was able to get all of the achievements finally this year but I had to follow the guide exactly and not every time was a success. The "complete game on difficulty" didn't take me long to correctly trigger them but I had to load a mission before the final map, change difficulty, and then proceed to the final map. If I didn't follow the guide exactly, about half the time I'd receive an "Access Violation" error and have to go back and figure out what I didn't patch correctly. A couple of times I had to go and verify my spellforce installation and it would restore the files that I had properly messed up.
