@E.M.J. ㋛ If I remember correctly it's actually the bookshop.

Noticeboard in the library, where is this library? I thought it was in the newspaper place, but it was not. I don't see a notice board in Silas private library that I have access to. Which one does it refer to?

@Monstertruck, There are no mutually exclusive ending achievements, so yeah, just make sure you make regular saves throughout the game, there are some that are missable due to story progression, and at least one is, if not bugged, at least glitched. Be especially prepared for "Make a wish". When you leave London, make a save. This achievement is extremely unclear in how it unlocks, each guide and post in the forums seams to have got it slightly differently, as mentioned below, I had to replay the segment three times to get it to trigger when I revisited each area when I was about to go back to London. Others got it after waiting for 1+ hour at one screen.

@Monstertruck, Yes, it can be done in one playthrough. I managed 23/27 achievements. But you will have to be very careful as the achievements aren't listed chronologically and some can be missable as you progress through the story and locations disappear from your map. So, I would try to make a mental note of the locations each achievement unlocks at and try to do them as you can.

Can it be done in one playthrough?

@Frostnatt I agree on it feeling very random - I’m glad you finally got it though! ☺️
Frostnatt Mar 22 @ 3:37pm 
Got it now, I revisited all the different areas after returning from the forrest and it triggered when entering the cave. It feels very random where and when it actually trigger.

@Frostnatt should be popping on the screen where there’s this shiny thing in the distant mountains - try doing that repeatedly, not just once per screen - try doing it once you’re back from the cave or the lighthouse

"Make a wish" never popped, just looking at the sky doensn't work. I assume it has something to do with a shooting star with that name, but coun't get it to pop. Anyone got any luck?

@Shepard thanks ! No, the order is following Steam's achievements list default ordering when I copied it to start writing the guide. Probably it was ordered by rarity (people who had the achievement) when I made it, since the last one in the list was I think the latest I earned, and probably the reason why I created the guide (couldn’t find anywhere how to get that one, took me a while to figure it out and wanted to share bc it was a bit too much time consuming)
