Songs Of Silencetells the story of two fantasy worlds struggling against a common all-consuming threat. Whether you command the shining knights of the Thousand Kingdoms, the mysterious mages of the Old Race, or the nihilistic fanatics of the Crusade, the game offers plenty of challenges to overcome.
In addition to the Quests that unlock new content, Songs Of Silence includes the usual array of Achievements and Trophies that you can proudly display on your account to show your strategic prowess. Many of them are hidden, but never fear - we’ve got the details on how to unlock all of them below.
Songs Of Silence is currently in Early Access. We expect that more accolades will be added to the game in the run-up to launch, so this guide is subject to change.
General Achievements / Trophies
These can be earned through the course of normal play, without seeking out any special objectives.
Complete Campaign Scenario 4, “Dark Tidings”
Peerless Strategist
Win a Skrimish or Multiplayer game against at least 2 opponents without losing a single battle.
For Peerless Strategist, it’s better to leave settlements undefended rather than set up a weak garrison; you’ll lose the location if it’s attacked, but you won’t have to fight and lose a battle to do so.
Achievements / Trophies For Campaign 1, “The Siege Of Elbin”
Royal Audience
After relieving the siege of Dohran Citadel, King Atran will encamp with a small armyjust west of your capital at Silberstein, at the southern edge of the map.Have either of your heroes interact with himto trigger this accolade.
The Adventure Begins
Once your position at Dohran Citadel is secure,seize Borin Fieldsjust to the southwest. Not only will this give you an extra Hamlet to provide income once you rebuild it, but it also opens up an optional path to the west. Follow it andspeak to Pip, Knight Errant.
Pip wants to look for Shining Stones in nearby Grunau Forest. Go there andcomplete the Adventure by using the Explore actionto unlock the Achievement / Trophy. You’ll also get theLance Of Thannus, an Artifact that buffs Knights and Cavalry!
Keep ‘Em Safe
This requires that youfinish the scenario with all three units of Ehrengard Refugees alive.They start in the Reserve column of Lorelai’s army. The safest way to keep them alive is toleave them in your capital, which should be safe from enemy attack as long as you keep the bridge well-fortified.
The Refugees provide a discount on Building Material costs in their current location, so it can be beneficial to move them around in safe territory.
Once you defeat Raduin, the Refugees willautomatically return to Lorelai’s army.Just keep them in the Reserves while you take Rotgard Fortress, and you should have little trouble finishing the scenario without losing any.
Of Petals And Prayers
The requirements say to “find Hauser’s secret meditation spot.” We assume that it’s in Elbin, since that’s Hauser’s homeland, but we haven’t been able to find it, and based on the current unlock rate, not many other players have either.
Achievements / Trophies For Campaign 2, “Into The Silence”
A Ray Of Hope
Lorelai’s army isn’t strong enough to defeat the Gestalts guarding the bridge at the river. Instead, you’ll have to take the long way around. When you do, you’ll reach an area where you have tomove stealthily through the treesto avoid combat.Look for a golden areajust northeast of the bridge. Approaching it will reveal the Statue of St. Idha and trigger the Achievement / Trophy.
Visiting the statue earns you some extra Divine Favor to fuel abilities, but leaves you vulnerable to attack. It’s best towait until Hauser rejoins you, then send him to the statue while Lorelai stays hidden in the woods.
Time Is Running
Once Hauser joins you,find a place in the forestfor Lorelai to hideand send Hauser to thesouthwest corner of the map.Balmung Forest is hidden there.Explore itto complete a hidden adventure and earn this accolade.
You’ll also recruit a powerful unit ofKnights Luminarkthat will make a critical addition to either army. Don’t forget to move them from the forest’s garrison into your main army or Reserves before leaving!
Achievements / Trophies For Campaign 3, “Songs Of The Blue Vale”
Settlers Of The Vale
Ifall three units of Ehrengard Refugees survivedboth the previous scenarios and the initial battles in Blue Vale, you’ll earn this Achievement / Trophy upon founding New Ehrengard. As before, justkeep them in the Reservesand out of danger and you should be fine.
Blitzkrieg
This is awarded for completingSongs Of The Blue Vale in 22 turns or less.Sendboth armies to the Firstborn capital to the Eastand take it as quickly as possible to eliminate the Red faction. This will give you plenty of leeway to work your way southeast to the Konkorda capital.
You’ll probably need toignore the side-quests in the southwest, including rescuing Freymund. For this reason, you should attempt Blitzkrieg on a separate run from the other Achievements / Trophies on this map.
Prison Break
After taking the bridge south of New Ehrengard, follow the path to the southwest. When youliberate Uotar’s Prison, a new Hero named Freymund will join you and you’ll receive this accolade.
You’ll need to level him up significantly to pull this off, but if you defeat Uotar with Freymund’s army, he’ll become playable in Skirmish Mode!
Achievements / Trophies For Campaign 4, “Dark Tidings”
Unlikely Allies
A Forlorn settlement called Meron’s Pride islocated in the northwest corner of the map.Visit it with Akard to secure an alliance with the Forlorn and unlock this Achievement / Trophy.
A Deadly Lesson
Once you’ve defended Aranburg for the required fifteen turns, Arbiter Garin will arrive with his army. You’re supposed to flee to Sonnen with Akard’s army to win the scenario, but there’s a hidden reward for taking the more foolish path.Attacking Garin with Akard’s armymeans losing the campaign, since you’re able to’t possibly win, but you’ll get this Achivement / Trophy for your collection.
This goes without saying, but save as soon as Garin shows up, then load your file after he kills you.
