Masters of Albion launched on Steam in Early Access to a mixed reception, but if you're the type who needs to see every achievement pop before putting a game down, there's plenty to keep you busy. With over 50 achievements spread across combat, construction, crafting, alignment, and exploration, a full completion run asks you to engage with nearly every system the game has. Here's everything you need to know to get through all of them.
What achievements are in Masters of Albion?
The full list covers a wide spread of activities. Below is every achievement confirmed in the current Early Access build, organized by category to make planning your run easier.

Combat achievements
These require you to get kills in specific ways, many of which tie directly into how you develop your god powers and hero equipment.
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| He was getting on my nerves | Kill the Lost Boy |
| Take the Low Road | Kill the bandit guard |
| Shock and Awe | Kill 50 enemies with the Lightning power |
| Divine Bowling | Kill 50 enemies with thrown rocks |
| Dead & Buried | Kill 100 undead in one night |
| Fire From Above | Kill 200 enemies with Turrets |
| Judge & Jury | Kill 50 bandits |
| Snack Attack | Kill an enemy with a weapon made entirely out of food |
| Health & Safety | Kill 10 workers |
| Fenced out | Kill 50 enemies with walls |
The Snack Attack achievement is one of the more creative ones. You need to craft a food-based weapon and land a kill with it. Plan this around your smithing progression so you're not wasting materials.
Dead & Buried requires 100 undead kills in a single night, which is a tall order. Stack your turrets and have your Lightning power leveled before attempting this.
God powers and magic achievements
Mastering your divine abilities to maximum level is the focus here.
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Lightshow | Master Lightning Bolts to Level 5 |
| Great Balls of Fire | Master Ball of Fire to Level 5 |
| Firestarter | Master Flame of Fire to Level 5 |
| To the Mana Born | Master Mana increase to Level 10 |
| Knowledge is Power | Purchase 30 Arcadium abilities |
To the Mana Born requires reaching Mana Level 10, the highest grind on this list. Prioritize Arcadium purchases throughout your run rather than saving them for late game so Knowledge is Power progresses naturally alongside it.
Building and construction achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Turret Architect | Build and arm 10 defensive turrets |
| Urban Planner | Combine 3 different building types into one multi-functioning structure |
| Mega-Structure | Combine 5 different building types into one multi-functioning structure |
| Master Decorator | Apply paint or patterns to 25 buildings |
| Century of Service | Reach a population of 100 workers |
| Designer Label | Dress 20 workers in clothes you designed from scratch |
| The A-Team | Have 5 epic workers employed in one building |
Mega-Structure is the harder version of Urban Planner. You need to combine 5 different building types into one structure, so plan your layout with this in mind early. Retrofitting later is possible but costs more resources.

Crafting and equipment achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Ironclad | Craft a suit of Impenetrable quality armour |
| Smithing Legend | Craft a Lethal quality weapon |
| Oldest Swinger in Town | Equip a hero with a Lethal Axe |
| Excellent Caliber | Equip a hero with a Lethal Sword |
| Hammer of the Gods | Equip a hero with a Lethal Hammer |
| Here's Lead in Yer Eye | Equip a hero with a Lethal Mace |
| Hard as a Can | Equip a hero with Impenetrable Armour |
All four weapon-type achievements (Axe, Sword, Hammer, Mace) require crafting Lethal quality versions and equipping them. You can equip and swap between heroes, so you don't need four separate heroes at Lethal tier simultaneously. Craft each weapon type, equip it to any hero, and the achievement pops.
Exploration and collection achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Treasure Hunter | Find and open all chests above ground |
| Dungeon Delver | Find and open all underground chests |
| Groundbreaking | Unearth all dig spots |
| Subterranean Snark | Destroy all underground Grotesques |
| Shut your Face! | Destroy all above-ground Grotesques |
Chests scattered around the map are also a useful emergency resource. Opening chests with your hero earns quick gold when you're short on funds, which matters for the soft lock situations covered below.
Hero and worker achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Through Their Eyes | Spend a total of 1 hour inside a hero |
| Hero's Journey | Apply 25 level upgrades to a hero |
| Tossed Aside | Throw a worker over a distance of 25 metres |
| You Tosser! | Throw 100 workers |
| Identity Crisis | Give a character a new name |
Through Their Eyes accumulates across your entire playthrough, so possession time adds up passively. You Tosser! and Tossed Aside are effectively one grind split across two achievements.
Food, trade, and economy achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Albion's Appetite | Fulfil 25 food orders |
| Armed to the Teeth | Fulfil 25 weapon orders |
| Tastes Like Chicken | Make a rat-based food item |
| Master of Bling | Have 1 million in your account |
| Axe to the Grind | Chop down 100 trees |
| Poultry in Motion | Kick a chicken 50 times |
Master of Bling requires accumulating 1 million gold. This is a long-term goal that happens naturally if you're consistently fulfilling food and weapon orders throughout your run.

Alignment achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Shadow of the God | Max evil alignment |
| Saint of Albion | Max good alignment |
These two are mutually exclusive in a single run. You'll need two separate playthroughs to earn both, or reload a save at a point before your alignment locked in.
Quest and event achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Local Legend | Complete 5 side quests |
| Arena Master | Complete the Grand Royal Tournament |
| Step right this way | Escort 30 worshippers |
How do you avoid soft locks in Masters of Albion?
This is the most common issue hitting players in Early Access, and it's worth knowing before it happens to you.
The main soft lock scenario involves running out of wheat during the early tutorial. The game pauses time during certain quests and blocks the skip-to-night function, which means if your farm has no wheat left to produce food, you can't progress the quest, and you can't advance the day cycle to let the farm recover.
A second soft lock involves ore: if a quest requires a delivery and your mine has been completely exhausted, you're stuck waiting several in-game hours for ore to respawn naturally.
Here's how to avoid both:
- Overproduce food early. Keep more wheat stockpiled than you think you need. The tutorial's early days don't cycle to night naturally (player reports indicate night doesn't occur naturally in the first 8 days), so you can't rely on the day cycle to bail you out.
- Don't exhaust your mine before completing ore delivery quests. Check quest requirements before mining everything out.
- Sell decorative building parts for emergency gold. You can dismantle houses and sell fashionable parts that don't affect their core function, which frees up gold without destroying the building's utility.
- Open chests early. Chests around the map give quick gold and count toward the Treasure Hunter and Dungeon Delver achievements simultaneously.
- Don't place building tabs before quests require them. Placing the Heroes Guild tab before the quest triggers it, for example, can prevent that quest from registering and block further progress.
