Nehrim: At Fate's Edge - 100% Achievement Guide

Achievement guide for Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Info

• Nehrim is a free mod but you need to own and install The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to play it.
  
• Save often, the game likes to crash a lot.
  
• There is an in-game achievement system, but those achievements are mostly different from the Steam achievements. Some have different requirements and others may unlock much later in Steam than in the game.
  
• Mods or console commands can be used, they don’t disable achievements.

Let's just start already!
You took your time fiddleing around with the sliders.


During character creation, play with the sliders for a minute or so, then wait some time (maybe 10-15 minutes) until the achievement unlocks.

Character level achievements

Magic ranks unlock automatically every 7 levels, last one at level 42. You don't need to learn or use any magic.

Missable warning: These achievements unlock when you exit the journal after leveling up. It’s possible to miss an achievement if you level up twice or more in a row without exiting the journal so that you “skip” over a level. This can happen easily if you forget to level up or when you get lots of xp from quests or collecting the last few magic symbols. So remember to level up as soon as you can and always exit the journal if you’re about to level up several times in a row.

Collectibles

You can use either the magic symbol guide, the wiki or the collectibles quest mod.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790610628
Collectibles quest mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/nehrim/mods/47
Wiki (symbols): https://en.wiki.sureai.net/Nehrim:Magic_Symbols
Wiki (plants): https://en.wiki.sureai.net/Nehrim:Unique_plants

There is also an even easier way if you are ok with using console commands. Find a collectible that you haven’t picked up yet, select it in console by clicking on it, pick it up and then type “enable” to make it reappear. Repeat until you get the achievement.

You found your first magic symbol of Nehrim.

Botanist
You collected over 200 rare plants (Vyn Roots, Ice Claws, Fire Caps).


For this one you have to collect 200 rare plant collectibles combined. Very time consuming normally but easy with the console command trick.

Near Death Experience

Use a soul trap spell or scroll on an enemy and kill them before the spell ends to trap them, as long as you have a big enough soul gem. Trap 15 souls this way.

You have to read 100 books but you can open and close the same book 100 times.

The best way to get infected is to find a Diseased Deer in the forests in the middle of the map and let it attack you a few times. Use a Cure Disease potion or Mandrake Root to cure yourself, then repeat.



Inflation
You kept over 130.000 gold at the bank in Erothin.


Deposit 130k gold in your account in Money And Greed Bank in Erothin. If you don't loot and sell almost everything you find, you'll probably find it pretty hard to get enough money. Some good ways are alchemy and the arena fights in Ostian.

Explorer
You've visited 100 places.


Travel Guide
You explored over 200 places on Nehrim.


Discover 200 places on the map. There are more than 200 locations in the game so you don't have to find them all, but still about 80-90 %. Look for icons on your compass or use this map[sureai.net].

Some Time
Some time has passed.


Play 30 hours in a single playthrough. The game should easily take more than 30 hours so you don’t need to idle for this. You can see your play time in the save/load menu.

Water Rat
Swim some distance.


The in-game achievement with the same name unlocks much earlier. I got it near the beginning of the game but the Steam achievement unlocked almost at the end of my playthrough. If you don’t have it at the end, you can swim in circles for some time.

Executor
You killed over 250 foes.


I had killed over 1 000 enemies when I unlocked this achievement. Most likely only human enemies count and any animals or other creatures don’t.

Spoiled Achiever
You achieved a lot by now.


Another slightly buggy achievement. It should unlock at 75 Steam achievements, but for me it unlocked at 78 (possibly because I loaded a previous save game after unlocking some achievements).

Probably unlocks after certain number of in-game achievements (75?) with one character.

[Tir Toran]

Hey I just wanted to drop a thank-you comment for this guide. 👍

I play on Deck and as of yet have not been able to get the Steam version to work (will eventually come back to that particular project). However, the GOG version works great and I went through this guide to figure out WHEN to manually trigger achievements using Samira as I play through.

[salomeya]

Got Spoiled Achiever as 76th achievement. 75th was Castle Darlan, and Spoiled Achiever popped up after returning to Cahbaet and speaking with Narathzul at the gates.

[-=Zik-Komi=-]

finally got that achievement, by changing game language to english

[-=Zik-Komi=-]

how to unlock Federal Bureau for Fortune Restriction? i agreed to pay but they won't take the money

[pepick]

Yes, i think it is connected to the in-game achievements, i should got it in other way. Thank you for quick response, have a great day

[hannez]

It might be related to in-game achievements and not Steam achievements? If that's the case you probably need to do it with the one character.

[pepick]

How Spoiled Achiever would work, if i got 70+ achieves couple of years ago on a different character, and now turned back to complete 100%? Should i get another 50+ on this (new) character? Seems like it is, because right now i have 90 achievments and still don't get it :(

[Enlightened]

Funny but I got spoiled achiever before I got 75 achievments. I got it with 72 achievments. Thanks for the guide though. I got almost all of them but I'm closing ones that I haven't done yet.

[kobae]

great guide thank you!

[hannez]

Fixed, thanks!
