Achievement Guide

A guide to all achievements in Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood with hints and tips.

“Collecting time” achievements

Dracula: “You know, I don't ask for much, Renfield. Just the blood of a few dozen innocent people.”


Antiquarian (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Collect 75, 200 and 500 artifacts
Artifacts are shining objects that drop from red mini bosses. This achievement will probably unlock during the first playthrough.

Money Magnet (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Collect 200, 500 and 1000 Moneybags
Moneybags are gold shining bags that are dropped from random enemies. You will probably unlock this achievement through the first playthrough.

Bug Collector (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Collect a total of 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000 Big Bugs.
First two achievements you can probably unlock through the first playthrough, for third you will need to grind. Big Bugs are dropped from enemies, latter levels have them more frequently (Dracula’s castle is a good option for grinding).

Tormented Genius (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Consume 5, 7 and 10 Egg Heads within a single run
Eggheads are powerups that drop randomly from enemies. Collect all powerups you encounter to ensure you consume the required number of Egg Heads.. You can check powerups description and pictures in Compendium.

“Killing time” achievements

Dracula: “I will unleash an army of death!”


Experimental (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Kill a total of 500, 1000 and 1500 enemies using Special Attacks
Yellow bar beneath the health bar is a Special attack bar. When it’s full it will glow blue and input required for the special attack will be displayed.

Bringing Monsters to the Monster (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Kill a total of 75,000, 150,000 and 300,000 enemies.
First two achievements you can probably unlock during the first playthrough, for third you will need to grind.

Howling in the Dark (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Defeat Bella Lobo using Teddy Lobo once, thrice and 5 times.
Bella Lobo is located in Lobo Stronghold. Defeat her 5 times to unlock all achievements. Defeating her in Endless mode counts toward achievement too.

Ora et Labora (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Defeat 1, 3 and 5 Bosses using Sister Charlotte.
Playing as Sister Charlotte, defeat 5 bosses. Easiest and fastest way is to play Endless mode since there are all bosses from all levels. Game doesn’t explicitly say if you need to defeat different bosses or if you can defeat one same boss five times. I recommend going for different bosses (hence Endless mode) to be sure.

A New Lease on Life (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Defeat Dracula using Robert once, 3 times and 5 times.
Dracula is in the level Murder room. Defeating him in Endless mode counts toward achievement too.

How to Defend Yourself Against a Narcissist (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish a Boss fight within the 150, 100 and 50 seconds.
Easiest boss is from the first level, Saint Louis Cemetery. You will probably unlock this achievement in the first playthrough.

Lord of the Night (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Do the Kill Route using Dracula 3, 6 and 9 times.
You don’t have to finish the level, just choose the Kill route (teeth icon) when you get to the room with the victim and enter the next room. Easiest way is to grind the first level.

"Immortal" Vampire (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Die one, five and ten times.
You will die. A lot.

“Special time” achievements

Rebecca: Did you cut that guy's hands off with a serving platter?


A Special Occasion (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Use the special attacks of at least 5, 10 and 15 different characters at least once.
To get all achievements you need to unlock all characters then play any level till you can use a special attack. Check ingame shop for requirements to unlock characters.

Weapon Maniac (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Deal 200,000, 500,000 and 1,000,000 total damage using weapons
You will probably unlock this achievement through the first playthrough.

Challenge Accepted (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Complete 3, 5 and 10 challenge rooms.
Requirements for unlocking Challenge rooms are available in Shop, Achievements and/or Compendium. Finish 10 of them to unlock this achievement. You will probably unlock this achievement through the first playthrough.

I Deserve Happiness (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Use 300, 600 and 1,000 powerups
Powerups are dropped randomly from enemies. They are different colored bugs that mostly go away from you (in contrast to normal xp bugs that are gravitating to you). Talent Entomophilia increases powerup spawn chances. You will probably unlock this achievement in the first playthrough.

Power Junkie (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Use 1, 3 and 6 unique powerup
Pick up every powerup you see. There are 7 unique powerups: Black butterfly, Egghead, Firefly, Grasshopper, Kissing bug, Ladybug and Rare bug.

I Have Enough (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish 1, 4 and 7 levels without picking up a powerup.
Easiest way is with Nightmare condition Exterminated which disables powerups spawning. Without Nightmare condition, unlocking this achievement is harder because you can always accidentally pick up powerup.

Ice Cold Killa! (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish 3, 7 and 12 consecutive rooms without being damaged
Easiest level for this achievement (for me) was Murder room with Robert. Enemies in this level are slower and there are much less enemies that shoot projectiles. His base attack is Positive thoughts which constantly circles around you. There are 13 -14 rooms in each level, and you will probably unlock this achievement before fighting the main Boss. Just be careful of small black bats on the first few levels and Swat police because they can rush you. I recommend taking Moonlight step Talent, because it gives you a few seconds of invisibility at the start of the room, and Swat police have a tendency to rush you at the very start of a room. Stupefy is another great talent to use here because it slows down enemies. I recommend avoiding Hazard rooms if you can (rooms with radioactive icon) because their effect will make unlocking this achievement harder.

Pet Shop (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Summon a Familiar for the first time (and then 5 and 10 times)
Finish the room with a paw icon in given time to get Familiar. They are random creatures that can help in the level.

Exceptional Servant (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish 3, 5 and 10 rooms with less than 20HP
It needs to be finished in a single run. Robert and Mark are good options for this achievement because of their attacks. Immediately when you start level, rush to enemies to lose health. You can check in the pause menu how much health you have. When you drop beneath 20 HP, check sporadically in the menu and maintain it till you get all achievements.

Bad Dream (Bronze)
Complete one level in Nightmare mode.
Select one Nightmare condition and finish a level for achievement to unlock. Check ingame achievements or shop for requirements to unlock Nightmare mode.

Bad Dream (Silver, Gold)
Complete three/ five levels with at least 3 different Nightmare Conditions.
It must be three/ five different levels with different Nightmare Conditions.

Sweet Talker (Bronze)
Retrieve Cheerleader
You retrieve her with Renfield in first level.

Sweet Talker (Silver)
Retrieve Escapee
You retrieve him with Renfield in Abandoned hospital.

Sweet Talker (Gold)
Retrieve Dollymop
You retrieve her with Renfield on the last level, Whitechapel.

Finish Dracula's Castle with 4, 8 and 12 different characters.


*Once and For All (Bronze, Silver, Gold)

Reach Wave 70 in Endless Mode with 3, 6 and 9 different characters.


*Game doesn’t keep track of which characters have finished which level so you should keep notes. Steam notes are great for this. There are 15 characters.


It Burns!!! (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish a stage with Sun-Kissed Dracula using Sunlight 3, 6 and 10 times.
The most efficient way to earn this achievement is to play the first level repeatedly. Just don’t forget to pick Sunlight from weapons. You don’t have to play different levels to unlock this.

School Spirit (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish Livespring High using Cheerleader once, thrice and five times.
To unlock this achievement, you must complete the Livespring High level with the Cheerleader. You'll unlock all achievements after completing it once, three times, and then five times.

**Explosive Positivity (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish 1 stage, 3 stages and 5 stages with Mark.


**To Protect and Serve (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Finish 1, 3 and 5 stages with Rebecca Quincy.


**Achievements sometimes use term level and sometimes term stage. Based on the achievement requirements and personal experiences it appears that when an achievement asks you to complete a certain number of levels (like achievement “Bad Dream”), it likely requires you to finish that many different named locations. When an achievement asks you to finish a certain number of stages (like “To Protect and Serve”), it might allow you to repeat the same location.

To ensure you unlock these achievements without unnecessary repetition, I recommend playing through different levels until you unlock these achievements.
