The Coin Collector (30)
Earned a total of 10,000,000G
The gold count is cumulative, so you are likely to earn this achievement during your second play-through.

Other items like weapons and armor can also be sold for gold.

Completed the adventure a second time
After finishing your first play-through, select ‘Load Game’ and start New Game+. If you have been successful, the Prologue is skipped at the beginning. You don’t have to do this is NG+, but it is highly recommended as you will find the game to be much easier the second time. You will be able to use all your stats and equipment, the map locations you had discovered before will be there, and you can now purchase port crystals for traveling.

Into the Frontier Caverns (15)
Entered the southwestern caves
You can access the Southwestern caves through a hole in the ground in the Shadow Fort. You will get to this place by speaking to Ser Maximillian during the Wyrm Hunt quests. Choose “Rout a Monster Infestation” and after defeating the 2 Cyclops in this quest, you will see many holes in the ground. Find the largest hole to the right, near the building at the back and enter it. Follow the tunnel until you find the location box at the top. The achievement will unlock at this point.
Into the Manse (20)
Entered the duke's manse
You can only enter the duke’s manse during the “Duchess in Distress” quest. Start by speaking to Mirabelle when you first enter the Duke’s castle in Gran Soren. She will be standing in the gardens or the first room of the castle. She will ask you to do the “Arousing Suspicion” quest. After you are through with that, continue with the main quest line until you have done the “Reward and Responsibility”. After that, you will find Mirabelle outside the castle by the stairs, and she will give you a set of armor to enable you to access the manse. Follow the quest marker to the Blighted manse and put on the armor to enter. The achievement will then unlock.
Into Soulflayer Canyon (15)

Affinity and Beyond (10)

There are several ways through which you can raise the affinity of any person who is a non-pawn. The easiest way is by giving them presents.

Some items raise certain people’s affinity more than others so make sure you check the details of the item to see who it will benefit most.
The Escort (10)
Acted as a reliable travel companion
You can accept escort requests from the notice board in the Gran Soren Inn. These involve providing protection to an NPC as the two of you travel to another location on the map. The Mercedes Marten escort quest is easy because, unlike most other NPCs, she carries a weapon and armor, so she will help you fight off any dangers. It is also advisable to travel during the day and stick to the roads. You can also do this and avoid any harm by using a portal crystal, which you place near the escort’s destination.
The Philanthropist (15)

The Captain (15)
Enlisted a large number of pawns
You can find a pawn walking around, speak to it, and enlist it. Alternatively, you can use one of the Rift Stones located all over Gransys to enter The Rift.
