Achievements
100% achievement guide for all 46 War in the North Steam achievements — missable conversations, Lidless Eye scrolls and co-op trophies.
Introduction
War in the North ships with 46 Steam achievements, and earning them all is a serious undertaking that mixes story progress, combat feats, co-op play, collectible hunting and missable conversations. Several achievements require specific choices or discoveries that a normal playthrough will easily miss — a handful of conversations in Bree and Rivendell are tied to achievements and can be permanently lost, and the Cult of the Lidless Eye scrolls demand thorough exploration of every level. This section is your 100% achievement guide: it breaks the achievement list into categories, explains the conditions for the trickiest trophies, and gives you a checklist-based strategy for collecting everything in one or two runs.
Achievement Categories
| Category | Focus | Example Achievement | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Story Progress | Chapter completion and campaign milestones | Chapter completion trophies | Easy |
| Combat Feats | Kill streaks and Hero Mode usage | Keen-eyed Marksman, Troll's Bane | Medium |
| Co-op Trophies | Party play and co-op actions | Strength of Our Alliance | Medium |
| Collectible Milestones | Lidless Eye scrolls and secrets | Scroll collector trophies | Hard |
| Conversation Trophies | Missable dialogue choices | Bree and Rivendell talks | Hard |

Core Mechanics
Achievements in War in the North cover every pillar of the game. Story progress trophies unlock naturally as you complete chapters and hit campaign milestones. Combat feats reward specific actions — landing a high kill streak, using Hero Mode a set number of times or defeating enemies in particular ways — and some can be farmed in co-op with a friend. Co-op trophies explicitly require multiplayer, like forming the alliance that gives the Strength of Our Alliance achievement its name. Collectible milestones hinge on finding every scroll of the Cult of the Lidless Eye and other hidden secrets, which demands near-complete exploration. Finally, the conversation trophies are the easiest to miss: they require exhausting specific dialogue options in Bree and Rivendell before advancing the story.
Advantages
The achievement list is well designed for replay value. Because the missable content is concentrated in a few specific spots, a guided run can collect nearly everything in a single playthrough, and the New Game Plus and difficulty achievements give veterans a reason to play again. The co-op trophies are quick to earn with a friend and make the multiplayer mode feel rewarding rather than tacked-on. The scroll collectibles reward thorough exploration, and the combination of missable conversations and collectibles means the 100% chase actually tests your attention to detail rather than pure grinding. The 46 trophies are also generously distributed across the game's systems, so most players earn a solid batch just by finishing the campaign. This makes the list feel achievable rather than hopeless, and it gives the completion chase a clear, structured path that respects both casual players and dedicated trophy hunters.
Challenges
The missable achievements are the main trap. A handful of conversations in Bree and Rivendell are tied to trophies and are permanently lost once you leave or advance the main story, so a blind playthrough will almost certainly miss some. The co-op trophies are impossible to earn solo, which locks completionists without friends into recruiting help. The scroll hunting is tedious on a large map, and a few achievements have conditions that are not fully documented — community guides are still testing exactly what triggers some of the more obscure trophies. Finally, difficulty-based achievements require completing the game on Legendary, which is a major time investment.

Quick Tips
Create a checklist before you start your completion run. The 46 achievements span five categories, and a written list keeps you from missing a scroll or a conversation. Track the story progress, combat, co-op, collectible and conversation trophies separately so nothing slips through. Keep a chapter-by-chapter checklist of every scroll and conversation you need, and tick items off as you collect them. Tracking your progress live prevents the frustration of finishing the game only to discover you missed a single missable trophy on an early map.
Exhaust every dialogue option in Bree and Rivendell before advancing the story. The conversation trophies are the single easiest category to miss, and once the story moves on those dialogues are gone forever. Check back with the same NPCs after each major chapter in case new topics unlock. The conversation trophies vanish the moment you advance the story past a town, so treat dialogue hunting as a mandatory stop before every main quest. Exhaust every named NPC's options in Bree and Rivendell on your first visit and check back after each chapter for newly unlocked topics.
Collect the Lidless Eye scrolls as you go rather than backtracking. Every level hides several scrolls, and hunting them after the fact is tedious. With Eradan in the party, run each area thoroughly the first time and grab everything before you move on. Set aside one focused co-op session to knock out the multiplayer trophies, because they cannot be earned in solo play at all. Invite a friend, agree on which achievements you are going for, and knock them out in sequence so neither of you wastes a run.
Plan one co-op session specifically for the multiplayer achievements. The co-op trophies are quick with a friend, so set aside an hour to knock them all out rather than relying on random sessions. Coordinate the required actions in advance to make it painless. Collect the Lidless Eye scrolls during your first pass through each level rather than backtracking later. Use Eradan's tracking ability and explore every alcove and off-path ledge, because hunting a single missed scroll across the whole campaign is far more tedious than grabbing everything as you go.
