Cinders 100% Achievement Guide

This is an achievement guide for Cinders. It is not a walkthrough and it will not help you obtain all variations.

Nevertheless, I hope that it helps you in some way.

Save here for an easy load leading to multiple endings (and their achievements).

Red Rose

Red Rose
Make your first meaningful choice


This achievement is obtained through natural progression.



A red flower will show up on the top right corner of your screen after making a meaningful choice.

Ball Gown

Ball Gown
Look killer on the Grand Ball


After accepting help from The Fairy, you'll be given a dress so you can attend the Ball. The achievement is obtained soon after attending.


** As IllusionedEyes pointed out, it doesn't matter who you go to for help (witch/fairy), you'll still get the achievement.

Grim Skulls

Grim Skulls
Die a miserable death


This is the path I followed to get the achievement. This is basically the result of failing to poison Carmosa.

Just remember that this is simply one variation in the story so there are a few other paths you can take to obtain this achievement.

The choices:

• Should get what they deserve!
  
• Lie to her
  
• Read the book
  
• No, did you?
  
• Are you not tired of this?
  
• What if I refuse?
  
• Go to the Lake
  
• No, that would be silly
  
• Ask him
  
• Carmosa is not worth it
  
• Let him have the full price
  
• Talk back to her
  
• Stay in the room
  
• Why were you so cruel to Gloria?
  
• Tell her

• Sneak out
  
• Go to the lake
  
• Forget about it
  
• How do you know?
  
• Beg to differ
  
• They are the worst!
  
• I have my ways...
  
• Go to the Inn

• Reason with her
  
• Tavern
  
• Tell me about the Prince
  
• Understandable
  
• Be friendly
  
• Go back home
  
• I could use some help
  
• The Fairy
  
• Just go

• Yes

Glass Slipper

Glass Slipper
Leave everything behind


This achievement is obtained by escaping town when given the choice (by the fairies in my case - see Grim Skull if you want to take the same path to get to that decision point). You still get to attend the palace event except you end up leaving everything behind as the achievement description suggests.

Royal Tiara

Royal Tiara
Become the queen


This achievement is obtained by going for the prince when given the choice (by the fairies in my case - see Grim Skull if you want to take the same path to get to that decision point).

Candle of Wisdom + Phial of Venom + Family Necklace

Candle Of Wisdom
Discover Carmosa's secret


You get this achievement shortly after meeting the Shady Character in town. I marked it down on the choices below to show when it's achieved.



Phial of Venom
Do something really bad


You get this at the end of the choices below. To successfully poison Carmosa, you need to be on good terms with her.

Family Necklace
Gain control of your inheritance


This achievement is obtained for getting the Independent Woman ending. One of the variations for this ending ends with poisoning Carmosa. If you follow this guide, you can get all 3 achievements in this section in one playthrough.

Thank you for this guide

[Tziva]

What alexrdavies said, but do note that if you have wooed the Captain, he will save you if you fail to poison the stepmother, so in addition to making sure you're hated by Carmosa and don't know of the family's financial situation that you also have not gotten too close to him.

When you are trying to become the queen, you need to be careful of your decisions. They will determine alternate queen endings (one where you are loved and one where you are hated).

Thanks matey, got to 100% in just about 4h thanks to this guide. Just a few variations that I'm missing, but not enough interest to play once more!
