A launch-week list without invented unlocks or fake percentages.

Achievements

Steam shipped Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns with forty-seven achievements and Steam Cloud. Xbox Series listings also advertise Xbox achievements and cloud saves. This page is a reference, not a datamine. It will print the ten icons Steam highlights on the store, the total count, and the modes those names obviously sit next to. It will not invent hidden triggers, percentages, or a full 47-row table the public API does not give this wiki.

The ten Steam-highlighted names

As of the 15 August 2026 store payload, Steam’s highlighted achievements are:

  • Night predator
  • True knight
  • Wall sniper
  • Hail the king
  • Just lucky
  • Braveheart
  • Ladies’ man
  • Reliable comrade
  • The devil made me do it
  • Genghis Khan

Those titles are flavour. They are also a map of the package. Night predator sits next to the nights in How to Duel and Raid. True knight sits next to tournaments and the joust. Wall sniper sits next to catapults and How to Siege. Hail the king is the crown, which means a finished campaign or a finished Kingdom loop depending on the disc you inserted. Ladies’ man is the Saxon ladies track. Just lucky and Braveheart smell like Kingdom dice and hearts. Reliable comrade smells like Robin’s three pledges. Genghis Khan smells like a map painted your colour. The devil made me do it is a joke title until you earn it; this wiki will not guess the sin.

If a guide online lists gold amounts or “win 50 jousts” next to these names without a screenshot from the in-game achievement pane, treat it as fan fiction. Launch week is full of that.

How to hunt without ruining a first campaign

Play the game first. The six official tips are a better first hour than an achievement spreadsheet. Start as Wilfred. Learn army and income so Wall sniper is not a suicide run at a full garrison. Learn field battles so True knight is not you Ferocious Attacking 13 into 39. Kingdom hunters should live in the Kingdom Mode guide because hearts, Precious Dice, and timed tiles are the language of Just lucky and Braveheart — not Classic’s three piles.

Retro will hide why a duel ended. If you are achievement-hunting minigames, Classic’s meters are the kinder teacher. The mode advisor exists so you do not grind Retro for a name that Kingdom would have paid you while you were already dying usefully.

Xbox achievements are a separate list on that store. Names may match, or they may not. Capture your own pane. This page stays with Steam’s public highlighted set plus the number 47.

What this wiki will update later

When Nordcurrent posts a patch, Updates will move. If that patch adds achievements, this page will reprint the new total. Until then, 47 is the launch number. Family Sharing is listed on Steam; it does not copy another account’s unlocked icons onto yours. Cloud saves mean a Deck session can continue on a PC. They do not mean a console save walks onto Steam.

A practical hunt still looks like a campaign. Night predator wants you to finish nights, so drill How to Duel and Raid until Classic’s meters mean something. Wall sniper wants catapults on a wall, so finish army and income before you farm a keep. Hail the king wants a realm, so the campaign walkthrough and the Kingdom Mode guide are the two finish lines — pick one disc and complete it instead of hopping every time a popup fails to fire. Ladies’ man wants the Saxon ladies track; do not skip captives because the fog looked expensive.

Use Links for the store buttons. Use Getting Started if you opened this tab before you owned a catapult. Achievements are a trophy shelf. England is still a board that charges you a month per verb.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers drawn from official notes and launch play.

How many Steam achievements are there?

Forty-seven in the launch PC build, plus Steam Cloud. This page lists the ten names Steam highlights on the store.

Do you have unlock conditions for all 47?

No. We will not invent triggers. Play the nights, sieges, and campaigns; read the in-game pane for the rest.

Are Xbox achievements the same?

Xbox Series listings advertise achievements and cloud saves. Treat that as a separate pane until you compare names yourself.

Should I hunt achievements in Retro?

Only if you want 1986 opacity. Classic and Kingdom explain more. Use the mode advisor first.
