Icons

When R2 entity icons upload successfully they appear beside names; otherwise the table stays text-only — never hotlink Steam CDN long-term.

Hidden rows

Hidden = Steam marks them hidden. Descriptions stay outcome-focused without full ending spoilers.

Shards & consequences

Which achievements tie to Laws?

Several unlocks share Law names. Treat them as confirmation you restored that shard on a valid path.

Achievement	Tied system	Guide
Law of Identity	Village exit Law	Laws
Law of Hunger	Hunger / Satiety line	Sphinx · Wine King
Law of Light	Light shard restore	Laws

Order of operations

Identity is early and mandatory for the Village Gate. Hunger/Light land later — do not expect them in Shrike’s Lair.

Which unlocks look story-gated?

Names from the highlight set that read like campaign milestones.

Achievement	Likely trigger family
Daring Escape	Early lair escape / scripted bird beat
New Beginning	Campaign chapter transition
New Cycle	Loop / cycle story beat
Whole Again	Major restore / finale-adjacent
Break the Curse	Curse / Wereshrike-style resolution
Riddles in the Sand	Breathless Sands / Sphinx line
Brain Damage	Brain / Margrave-style item use (hidden)

Confirm in overlay

Steam may reveal precise text after unlock. Use Discord if a name pops without a clear journal beat.

What might be missable?

Until a full datamine exists, treat branchy content as potentially missable.

Do01Herbalist vs miller fork — may affect card-related flags
Do02Wereshrike kill vs Disenchantment ×3 — friendship / curse paths
Do03Ethereal Power frequency on ending-conscious runs
Do04Optional Law restores skipped forever
Do05Salesman / Hermit quest failures

Safe approach

Finish a story clear, dump Steam’s unlocked list, then plan a NG notes pass for leftovers. Ask Discord which of the 17 are currently missable on the live patch.

How should I plan a completion pass?

Practical order for hunters.

Pass	Focus
Blind story	Spine bosses + mandatory Laws
Puzzle mop	Sphinx, statues, herbalist recipes
Branch mop	Opposite fork / curse resolution
Hidden mop	Compare overlay vs this list
Verify	Steam refresh + Discord confirm

How do achievements map to guide pages?

Use this crosswalk so hunting stays attached to real routes instead of a blank checklist.

Achievement cluster	Play this content	Guide
Daring Escape	Shrike’s Lair escape spine	Walkthrough
Riddles in the Sand	Sphinx + desert riddles	Sphinx answers
Law of Identity	Morgain → Village Gate	Laws
Law of Hunger	Wine King / Hunger line	Walkthrough
Law of Light	Late Light restore	Laws
Break the Curse	Wereshrike / curse resolution	Herbalist house
Brain Damage	Brain item interactions	Walkthrough

Overlay discipline

After each hub boss, open Steam overlay → Achievements and screenshot new unlocks. That log beats memory when TBA rows remain. Name files by region so you can match Whole Again versus Break the Curse without replaying the whole campaign.

Icon column

If entity icons upload to R2, names gain thumbnails. Until then, text rows are intentional — no Steam hotlinks. Re-run the guide image uploader when credentials are available and wire entityCell keys to the highlight set.

FAQ

How many achievements are there?

Steam lists 17 for Shards of Order.

Why are some how-tos TBA?

The store highlight feed does not always ship full unlock strings. We refuse to invent triggers — TBA stays until verified.

Do I need multiplayer?

No. The game is single-player; all unlocks are solo campaign flags.

Should I save-scum forks?

If you care about 17/17, keep a cloud save before herbalist/miller and Wereshrike decisions, or plan a second pass. One careful notes run is usually faster than three blind clears.
