Champion of the Gods 100% Achievement Guide

Simple, spoiler-free, easy-to-follow, playthrough guide. Contains three full playthroughs of the story which together award all achievements. Useful for achievement seekers and people who'd like to read the game as a book, as this guide provides cohesive and well-rounded stories.

Introduction

This is a simple, easy-to-follow, spoiler-free guide, designed to give you solid playthroughs that will award all achievements. Additionally if you'd prefer to just read the game like a book, this guide should help you to have a fun playthrough with a cohesive character and story.

Please note that the choices must, almost without exception, be taken as they're listed here - deviating from the path I've provided will usually mess something up further down the line as there's plenty of hidden stat gains / minuses / checks. I've done my best to note where you can [Choose Any] option, though, so you have a bit of flexibility.

The first playthrough, Champion, is the 'best'. Our hero is brave noble and works tirelessly in the service of others. Note that two runs of this playthrough are required to receive all achievements - Ultimate Refusal / Divine Intervention and Resurrect the Dead cannot be received in the same playthrough. Achievements included in this run are:

• Defeat Boar
  
• Defend your Village
  
• War Patronage
  
• Defeat the Dweller
  
• Victory in Kaval Canyon
  
• Defeat the Keeper
  
• Refused All Gifts
  
• Escape from the Tide Caves
  
• Defeat the Priests
  
• Daggoras Destroyed
  
• Destiny Saved
  
• Survive Underworld
  
• Ultimate Refusal
  
• Resurrect the Dead
  
• Reject Love
  
• Divine Intervention
  
• Champion of the Gods

The second playthrough, Deceiver, is rather the opposite - we will mislead and trick the gods at every opportunity. It includes the achievements:

• Defeat Boar
  
• Love Patronage
  
• Defy Love
  
• Defeat the Dweller
  
• Victory in Kaval Canyon
  
• Defeat the Keeper
  
• Escape from the Tide Caves
  
• Defeat the Priests
  
• Merciful Victory
  
• Destiny Collapses
  
• Survive Underworld
  
• Most Romantic Partners
  
• Deceiver of the Gods

The third and final playthrough, Scourge, bears similarity to the second run but our character is wholly driven by their desire to destroy destiny, in open rebellion to the gods. Its achievements are:

• Defeat Boar
  
• Defend your Village
  
• War Patronage
  
• Defeat the Dweller
  
• Victory in Kaval Canyon
  
• Defeat the Keeper
  
• Receive the Silken Cord
  
• Escape from the Tide Caves
  
• Defeat the Priests
  
• Destiny Destroyed
  
• Join Forces with Daggoras
  
• Survive Underworld
  
• Scourge of the Gods

Perhaps my father is embarrassed that a child like me has done what he could not?

I am more difficult to hurt than most.

I seek neither ardor nor companionship.

Hethika should stop horsing around and focus on [gender] work.

Set our visitor at ease by showing deference to him.

Thank you very much indeed for using this guide - I hope it was useful. Champion of the Gods is a great tale and well worth taking time to explore; hopefully this guide has served to increase your enjoyment of the stories enclosed within the book.

[VenetianFalchion]

@bb would you please do the sequel of this, I would really appreciate it and could you also do lords of infinity. I like following your guides because I have a hard time deciding what choices to make. And again, I'd be very grateful! Thanks in advance!

[DeathHero®]

THX

[Raye Skylark]

Thank you for the help. ^^

[bb]

Hey! I haven't read the sequel so don't know much about it. I looked around and this thread is probably your best bet:

https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/exile-of-the-gods-wield-the-chains-of-destiny-or-shatter-them/59713

There's a few bits of discussion on how best to progress past certain points, plus obviously the opportunity for further discussion. Hope you find what you seek!

[Raye Skylark]

Hello. I was wondering if there is a guide to the sequel, Exile of the Gods. I thought there was, but I can't find it.

[Wolfe]

thanks for the guide, though in part one and two, you pick resistance, but never use it, why not pick what you do use, to be less... sucky, and lose some things just to get points in it?
For instance, in deceiver, you pick resistance, but never pick a single option that uses resistance, instead you do strength and speed options, why not just pick speed and then strength?

On the other side, using your guide I finally got the last five achievements, so thanks.

[bb]

There's a combination of factors involved - just follow the Deceiver path along.

[Snowskeeper]

How'd you get strength that high, out of curiosity?

[bb]

I just ran through the Deceiver path and it works perfectly. Attributes:

Resilience: 60%
Strength: 77%
Speed: 89%

[Snowskeeper]

All I can say for certain is that on the Deceiver path, I didn't have enough strength to chuck the god of chaos into the weave at the end. I think I made some minor changes along the way, though, so I might just not have grown enough to make that work.
