Sacred Almanac Traces of Greed, 100% Achievement Guide and Full Video Walkthrough.

Sacred Almanac Traces of Greed, 100% achievement guide and complete video walkthrough earning all achievements and showing all mini-game puzzle solutions.

Notes.

Sacred Almanac Traces of Greed has a total of 30 Steam achievements, 26 of which are story related being earned as part of your natural progression, the remaining 4 are missable. All achievements can be earned with a single playthrough of the main game (there is no bonus chapter) taking around 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

A quick primer, before you get started...
1. There are no achievements relating to difficulty, select whichever you are comfortable with.
2. There are no achievements earned for watching any of the cut scenes, achievement hunters feel free to skip them if you wish.
3. Do not use the HINT button at any point during the game as there is an achievement for not doing so.
4. Feel free to use the reset button during any of the mini-game puzzles.
5. Do not SKIP the following mini-game puzzles (as noted in this guide) #1, #4 and #17 as there are achievements relating to completing these puzzles without skipping. NOTE: - There is no specific achievement earned for completing all mini-game puzzles without skipping... that said for safety's sake, I completed all without skipping... and I would advise you do the same. The solutions to them all can be found below if you want to speed things up.
