The Technomancer 100% achievements guide

This guide helps you with missable achievements.

Overview and playthrough tips

The game has 40 achievements. 5 Achievements are story related but you would get much more just for finishing the game regularly without caring much about achievements.

Required playthrough: 1, but as the game is very hard dont think anyone could be ok on extreme difficulty without spending talent points so make it 1,5.

Make everyone happy: Make sure to make everyone happy. Avoid quest endings which hit any faction reputations hardly and balance out your quests so at the end of the game will be all friendly at least.

DONT kill anyone: While there is an achievement for having very bad karma it may affect companion quests, faction quests and might lock you out from earning some achievements. Some quests require you to kill the target, but try to minimalize the kills.

Dont waste 3 talent points for the same talent: You have 6 talents, like lockpicking, crafting etc. Dont max them out to level 3!, only once for the achievement, but save before and reload. Companions and few items increase these talents so getting any of it to lvl 3 is a waste.

Care about your companions: Companion achievements are easily missed, you need to finish all of their quests, build up reputation with them for 3 romance achievements. Also, dont forget to keep upgrading your companions with items, game is very hard, you need them!

It's for the hard difficulty.


Extreme survivor:

Nearly unmissable and combat, 11 achievements

Loot chests, pick locks, skin monsters (exploration lvl 1 skill required, but if you equip starter head item then you get it for level 1 as its the bonus of that head item).


Monster Hunter
Kill 60 monsters, unlikely you will get far in the game before earning this


Lightweight, Middleweight, Heavyweight
Knock out 50/100/200 humanoids. Unmissable, you should have all 3 before end of chapter 1 or early in chapter 2.

Raider
Ransack 40 chests. Should be earned in chapter 1 already when you exploring and loot the chests!

Burglar
Pick 50 locks. Takes a bit longer but should be earned already during chapter 2.


Trapper
Skin 100 creatures. You can skin only monsters and you need to have lvl 1 exploration for it. You should have this achievement during chapter 2 if playing regularly.

Like lightning
Electrocute enemies 200 times. Just use your technomancer lightning regularly in combat and dont forget to add lightning effect to your weapon. (actually you select it for your character in prologue then it last for all combat types, for all weapons). You should get it already in chapter 1, perhaps chapter 2.

Ace of staves
Hit enemies 200 times using a staff. Select stave combat style then fight with it, could be earned very fast.

Sharpshooter
Hit enemies 200 times using a pistol. Select rogue combat style and use your pistol (left-ctrl). You can use it 4 times then its need cool down, still. Also hard to miss and easy to get.

Without fail. Parry 200 attacks with the shield. Select guardian combat style and keep blocking with left-ctrl. When fighting easier enemy groups just take a position and keep left-ctrl pushed, not takes much time.

Crafting, talents, 7 achievements

well, well. combat talents. If you playing on extreme you cant really afford to not spend your talent points. This is why i mentioned that 1.5 playthroughs required if you go to completion. After extreme difficulty just rush to lvl 25 wihtout spending talent points on easy difficulty.

If you think the 2 hardest difficulty way too hard for you (like for me) and you ok with only 38/40 then you can go on normal, spend first 12 to be ok on battles, then save the next 24. If you finish sitequests, explore you will be likely to get to lvl 37 for that 36 talent points.

And why 24? Each tree requires 24 skill points to max out. The solution is to save every point until you have 24 skill points then save your game, max out one tree and then reload.

Guardian
Unlock the entire guardian skill tree. 24 talent points required.

Rogue
Unlock the entire rogue skill tree. 24 talent points required.

Technomancer
Unlock the entire technomancer skill tree. 24 talent points required.

Warrior
Unlock the entire warrior skill tree. 24 talent points required.

You have to start somewhere
Upgrade a skill. This will be the first achievement you earn in the game.


Expert
Unlock the 3 levels of a talent. Its the lockpicking, science etc, talent trees. Unlock one to max lvl, which is 3. Save before and then reload as pointless to have one on lvl 3 as you get bonuses from items and active followers.

DIY Freak
Make 100 equipment upgrades. At crafting station upgrade 100 items. Its actually missable, but if you playing on hard+ difficulties you need upgrade a lot, also follower items to make you and them stronger. you can also recycle items to get materials and you can just do lvl 1 upgrades on items.

Factions, quests, karma, 7 achievements

At chapter 3 you will have a mission to get the support of 3 factions against Victor. The mutants will be one automatically, you need to talk with the leaders of other factions to get their support. If you finished quests in a mixed way, so one for X faction, one for Y faction and not favoured always the same ones and avoided quest endings where you had huge reputation hits then you should have all on friendly at least.

Save before talking to a leader and reload after, so you can go to all factions and get all these achievements in a single playthrough. Technomancer support doesnt give any achievements, also some support lock out other one so cant be paired, like only Vory will join if you asked the support of the Army, Technomancers wont join if you asked the support of the rebels. If you have friendly reputation to all just go to them with only the automatic mutant support so they will join and you will get that achievement.

Noctis merchants
Ally with the Noctis merchants. Leader is Dandoloo in Noctis, inside the palace.



Opponents of the regime
Ally with the opposition in Ophir. I think you need be careful in chapter 1 to not arrest/kill Bulgakov, the leader of the opposition during the quest which is about to protect the train from a bombing attempt. Bulgakov will be later and during the alliance quest in the Curiousity bar, in zone Slums.

The Godfather
Ally with the Vory. There are lot of possible reputation loss with Vory, so be careful. Vory boss located in the slums.

With my captain
Ally with the Ophir army.


Champion!
Complete the arena championship at the Curiosity's. Visit the arena in each of the first 3 chapters and clear out. Achievement earned after you clear it out completly for the third time in chapter 3.

Obliging
Finish 20 secondary quests. Just finish sidequests.


Bad Karma
Having bad Karma. I suggest to go for it after mid chapter 3 once done with all companion quests and romance options. You can get to enough bad karma pretty fast. Once you hit the required karma for the achievements your companions will comment about it, your actual lover will abandon relationship and you will have reputation loss with all your companion.

Endings, 3 achievements

Save before using console (contacting Earth) in chapter 4, after Leviathan boss fight. Go for one ending, then reload and select the other one and repeat.

Martian forever...
Decide to join Mutant Valley. One of the ending......

Grand Master of the secret
Decide to return to Abundance. One of the ending......

Goodbye paradise
Decide to join Noctis. One of the ending......

Companion quests+romances=the very missables. 4 achievements

These achievements are probably the easiest to miss, ill start with the all companion quest achievement as those required for the romance options anyway.

Best friend
Finish all of the companion quests.

You have 5+1 follower in the game, one available only in chapter 1. All companions have 1 specific companion related quests in each of the first 3 chapters. You need the companions to be in your party and then talk to get the quests unless in chapter 1 (with the exception of Jeffrey and Scott whose need to be in party for quest even in chapter 1). You also cant start another companion quest when you is on one.

Jeffrey is available only in chapter 1, and you actually will fight him at the end of the chapter. This one is very easy to miss. After completing both "The Deserters" & "Break the Opposition" (you will stop a train from being blown up) just talk to Jeffrey. He mentions the feeling of being spied on and will ask you to go along with his plan. DO SO. Before leaving the barracks to lure the spy, save the game because you can fail this quest.

So i havent played the game since it came out and decided to continue my adventure and get all of the achievements but i think i screwed something up in the original playthrough cause all of my minions were in negative... i think i must have killing people or something... still managed to get andrew and amelia at high enough relationship to get the romance achievement but not niesha... google said that you can put them into your squad and just go around fighting... but i have been going around ophir for like 3-4 hours and nothing... i just want to know if this is possible...in the end it doesnt really matter cause i need at least to more play throughs one on extreme and my bad karma run... any help would be appreciated

[Blaydenn]

Thx for the guide. It helped me to complete the game and don't miss anything. Took 50 hours.

[Krodh]

Nice guide! Managed it in a single playthrough! One thing I'll add is that a certain choice in the 3rd chapter will have one of the companions leave for good. So the opportunity to do their companion quest is lost in this case. In other words, they won't give you the quest as a static NPC.

[Заебал]

I have trouble with getting jeffrey quest (chapter 1). When does it trigger? Because i waited on different scenarios when:
1. Completed only killing rebels
2. Completed only regime oppsotion
3. Completed both of those quests
And still he does not mention anything about followed and etc. Are there any other requuirments to trigger that quest, like specific location or should i have fought alan mencer in prolouge cutscene??

[Gladius]

Thank you for this very complete guide, it helped me to not miss some success or confirm which ones I was going to unlock by progressing in the game. By information, it tooks me 38 hours to beat the game in extreme difficulty (it was feeling a quite long arriving at the end :)), and there are five success that I am missing : the karma one, and four about the talents because I used points in all of them, which is quite necessary in extreme difficulty. I am thinking about playing again the game in easy only to have a bad karma and keep 24 points in order to unlock all the four talents success by saving just before, as you explain it in your guide.

[What Is Love?]

Hello, the guide is really helpful. I experienced two situations which are not mentioned in this guide:
1. Even if you have bad reputation with Vory, you can still ally with them, paying 500 serum to their boss.
2. Last companion quest for Phobos becomes unavailable, when you decide to vote him for the mutants leader. This happens because he leaves your team.

[Csontzuzo]

wanted to answer long time ago but i totally forgot about your post, sorry. Yes, it took some time to create but i really loved the game so i thought i create one based on my experiences, notices and informations i collected through the game. Iam happy it helped you:-)

[aubri]

Not sure if you took the time to write out and organize all of this yourself but if so, brilliant work! I'm surprised there aren't more comments, clearly a lot of effort and dedication was put into this guide and it's going to help me (and has) without a doubt so thank you very much!
