Achievements Guide
Swag and Sorcery has exactly 50 Steam achievements. Most of them unlock naturally through progression, but a handful require dedicated grinding, extreme RNG luck, or knowledge of hidden triggers. Two achievements are permanently broken on the current patch.
This guide lists every achievement sorted by category.
The Bribe and Speech Master achievements are unobtainable on the current version of the game. Patch 1.50 removed the item-gifting interface that these achievements required. The only way to unlock them is to downgrade your game to a pre-1.50 build via Steam depots or use third-party achievement tools. Do not waste time trying to trigger them normally.

Zone Progression and Boss Order
The six combat zones must be cleared in order. Each zone is gated by a boss fight:
| Zone | Boss | Zone After |
|---|---|---|
| Magical Forest | Owl Guard | Battlefield |
| Battlefield | Big Boy | Dark Ruins |
| Dark Ruins | Skull of Knowledge | Hot Springs |
| Hot Springs | Okiki | Swamp |
| Swamp | Rainbow Snake | Underground City |
| Underground City | The Nameless | Endless Adventure (post-game) |
The Endless Adventure
After defeating The Nameless, you unlock the Endless Adventure, an infinitely scaling combat zone. Patch 1.028 added over 70 unique high-tier crafting recipes to the Endless Adventure's loot tables. These recipes do not drop anywhere else in the game.
The probability of finding these recipes increases as you level up the Endless Adventure. Pushing to level 50 is the true endgame grind and unlocks the hidden "Amateur something" achievement.
Hardest Achievements
If you are going for 100% completion, expect to spend the most time on these:
- Swag in the blood (10.3% unlock rate): Getting a full set of Legendary gear requires max crafting efficiency and a lot of luck. Push your crafter to 250 in their primary stat and craft in bulk.
- Revealed potential (11.1% unlock rate): Every hero needs to reach level 25. Keep multiple parties running simultaneously to level everyone.
- Oligarch (14.4% unlock rate): Buying every Fashion House recipe is expensive. Focus on winning Fashion House contests by matching judge preferences and event colors.
- Amateur something (hidden): Pushing the Endless Adventure to level 50 requires optimized Tier 4 gear and deep knowledge of team composition.
