This guide is supposed to help you to get all the achievements in Atonement: Scourge of Time.
As the game is separated in 2 storylines (Nail and Elleria) I splitted this guide too in 2 parts. Each storyline holds 18 achievements. To unlock every achievement in one playthrough you are supposed to beat the game on "Challenging" difficulty setting.
Also make sure to save i a lot of different save slots, because this will help you if you missed something.

Furthermore this is my first guide plus my mother language is german, so grammar and structuring can lack of perfection xD.

First, I'll list the achievements that are not missable. These achievements will unlock automatically once you reach certain points in the game.

Make sure to start the game with Challenging Difficulty!

The Garden of Death
Complete Act 1 with Nail


Capital Punishment
Complete Act 2 with Nail


Divine Guidance
Complete Act 3 with Nail


Path of a Champion
Complete the game with Nail’s team.


Path of a Legend
Complete the game with Nail’s team on Challenging difficulty.



The next achievements can be unlocked while going through the storyline. I listed these in the order you can approach them, so you can easily check if you missed one.

Swift Solution
Defeat the (first fight with) Chimera within 6 turns.
As soon as you leave Denshor Village you have to pass some maps to get to Cresal Village. Right before you enter Cresal Village there is an Orb of Regeneration ( the orange one which heals you fully), save here and grind some EXP (i did this until Level 7). When you are ready enter the village and fight the beast with the best skills you can use.

Bringing Down the Beast
Hunt down the Chimera in the woods.
After defeating the beast in Cresal Village you have to travel north through the woods. Search the woods for the wounded beast and bring it down.

Paranormal Investigator
Find and read all the journals in Fort Caskell.
As soon as you get into Fort Caskell search for books that lie around throughout the fort, i am not sure but as far as i can tell there are 4 of them.

Breaking the Camp
Infiltrate the Promgan slave camp and defeat its leaders.
After getting through the caves Nail recognizes a slave camp and want to kill all the slavers, hard to miss.

Rat Trouble
Sort out the plagued rat problem in the Capital.
When you arrive at the Capital go west until you find a guy named Lerak. He asks you to help him with a rat problem. Go once again west until you find a crack in the wall, upon investigating rats swarm out and engage you in a fight, after the fight Meya seals the crack with a spell.

As soon as you reach Act 4, the Orbs in the cities and villages turn blue and give you a fast travel option. The following achievements can be done in any order, though i suggest to stick to my order since I list them from easiest to hardest.

I Missed You
Have Kanden reunite with his girlfriend.
Simply travel to Cresal Village to unlock this one.

Justice is served
Help Denshor village with the bandit problem.
Fast travel to Denshor and go south. Fight and kill the leader of the bandits.

Freed from torment
Find and lay to rest all the tormented souls in the Capital.
Travel to the Capital and buy the best armor the shop sells (Adept's Helm and Adept's Suit). Then go south and west from the main plaza and fight the Tormented Souls.

The Iron Fist
Liberate town of Vesar from a powerful despot.
Start from Ralpan Village and go north-east. Once you reach Vesar and watch the execution scene go to southern part of the village and head east to some stairs. Fight and kill Rick.

Despot Dethroned
Defeat Rick the Despot on Challenging mode.
Same as above, just beat Rick on Challenging difficulty.

Giant Slayer
Find and defeat the giant on Mt Cereus (as Nail’s team).
Another easy one. As soon as you get to the ascend find a cave where the Giant is hiding.

Only 2 remaining achievements left for Nails storyline. Both of them are unlocked in the final bossfight. Also these 2 achievements are secret. Use the save file the game promts you to create before starting the fight to get both achievements.

Going Backwards
In the final battle as Nail, vanquish the Future avatar first.
Simply focus on the Future avatar.

Ravages of Time
In the final battle as Nail, vanquish the Past avatar first.
Same as above, except focusing on the Past avatar this time.

Again, I'll list the achievements first that are not missable. These achievements will unlock automatically once you reach certain points in the game.

Make sure to start the game with Challenging Difficulty!

The next achievements can be unlocked while going through the storyline. I listed these in the order you can approach them, so you can easily check if you missed one.

WARNING! Missable achievement trigger!
After leaving Denshor village you will soon come across a building. enter it and go upstairs.
Free Sughel and take his ring. We will meet this guy again in Act 4.

Unyielding
Defeat Ronard and his assistants without Elleria or Gashrun getting K.Oed.
As soon as you are done with Sughel head further north to the next building. Make sure you are levelled up before entering. Once you enter you will engage a fight with Ronard. Win the fight and make sure that none of your characters dies. Potions are a must!

The Food Chain
Locate the Man-Eater plant and destroy it.
In the woods, same as with Nail, you have to kill a beast. Look for an item on the floor near a tree. When you want to get to it the floor collapses beneath you and you drop into a cave where you have to fight the Man-Eater plant.

Gliding Through Water
Bring Lasarg his lost bow.
As soon as you get to Palgram go north-east to the docks. There you can find Lasarg, who asks you to find his bow. On the same map behind him you have to float from land to land until you finally reach his bow. Bring it back to Lasarg.

Lost in a Maze
Find the missing man in the Medias tunnels.
At some point in the game you will drop through a hole (again!) and land in a cave. Eventually you will find a camp. On the southernmost part of the human camp is a guy who asks you to find his lost friend. Proceed north to get deeper in the tunnels. Search around until you find the missing man.

WARNING! Missable achievement trigger!
In these caves you can encounter a beast called "The Prowler" (you will see an Orb of Regeneration in front of it). Fight it and afterwards take the tag from it (lying on the floor). We need this tag in Act 4.

As soon as you reach Act 4, the Orbs in the cities and villages turn blue and give you a fast travel option. The following achievements can be done in any order, though i suggest to stick to my order since I list them from easiest to hardest.

Fate's Challenge
Let Gashrun confront the challenges of the Shrine of Phantoms.
As soon as you can use the fast travel option choose to go to the Shrine of Phantoms. Beat the challenges there until you reach the weapon for Gashrun at the end (prepare for a fight before you get the blade).

Brotherly Bond
Convince Ignis to stop killing people.
Fast travel to Sorcerers Stronghold. Fight Ignis with Habachs brother until he yields.

Humiliation
Teach Sugel a lesson.
Travel to the Capital, find Sughel and beat the living crap out of him.

Crafting the Unknown
Acquire the rare Nihil Blade.
Throughout the game, but mostly in Act 4, you will find Nihil Stones. As soon as you can get 3 of them (there have to be at least 5, so no big deal) travel to the Underground Settlement, make sure you have an Occult Blade in your inventory too, and talk to the guy next to the shop to obtain your Nihil Blade.

Hidden Memory
Gain access into the locked room in Lomgorth’s Tower.
To get to Lomgorths Tower travel to Palgram and head to the docks. Talk to the dock master to be shipped to the tower. Climb up until you see a closed door to the east. Unlock it with the Prowler Tag and read the journal.

Driven by Madness
Send Lomgorth’s spirit into the afterlife.
Soon after the locked room you find Lomgorth. You have to fight him until his soul leaves his body. As soon as this happens another fight triggers immediately after the first which is a lot harder. Beat the 4 golems to finish this fight. See below.

Golem Bane
Defeat Lomgorth’s golems on Challenging mode.
Same as above, just win the fight on Challenging mode. This is by far the hardest fight i had in the entire game. Try to use attacks that hit all enemies as often as possible and focus on one golem with those who can only attack one enemy at a time. Keep your health up as much as you can. The more golems fall the easier the fight gets. Bring a lot of items. I was around Level 18 with my chars.

Only 2 remaining achievements left for Ellerias storyline. Both of them are unlocked in the final bossfight. Also these 2 achievements are secret. Use the save file the game promts you to create before starting the fight to get both achievements.

Source of a Problem
In the final battle as Elleria, ignore the other avatars and vanquish the source of the problem.
Simply focus on Adesard and deal as fast damage as possible, since the two summoned avatars can quickly tear you down.

Cursed Bloodline
In the final battle as Elleria, vanquish all avatars one by one.
Fight Adesard until he summons his supporting avatars, then focus them down. Shortly before he is beaten he will resurrect them again, simply deal with them first before you finish Adesard off.

That's it. Hope I could help you to get all the achievements.

ENJOY!
