To unlock all achievements in Baldur's Gate 3, including hidden achievements, one playthrough will not be enough. To unlock most of them, it is recommended to know in advance the order of actions and the possible consequences of the choice, when decisions made in the first act affect the third.
During the game, you will encounter enemies that must be defeated in a special way, decisions that require choosing the right path, as well as hidden locations where you can find legendary items and fight bosses. In the guide we will tell you how to get all the achievements in BG3, at what stages you will be able to do this, and also give some tips on unlocking particularly difficult achievements.
How many achievements in BG3
There are a total of 54 trophies in the game: some of them are unlocked after completing story missions, and some are unlocked by killing enemies in a special way, or by performing unusual actions. You won't be able to get all the Steam achievements in Baldur's Gate 3 in one playthrough, as some are mutually exclusive, but some of these achievements are earned by simply rebooting from the last checkpoint.
