Guide how to unlock both Achievements in one Playthrough
Disclaimer
First i am a native german speaker, so i am sorry for any bad english or misspelling.
Further i had my game in german, so maybe names or quest are named differently, hope you still get the point what i want to say…
Thank You

Further thank you to the following steam users:
Preparations
This helped me with my run:
- Play the full game at least once, so you get into the flow of the game
- This guide was done for a fresh game at Version 1.4 with Espectro DLC and new item pack, later changes may make this guide obsolete, save games from old versions may not work
- Play on EASY since this game will take a while and you don’t want make it any harder as it already is
- Never overwrite a save file, always make a new local save. You will f*ck up, just as i did and want to reload an earlier save
- Play as EMMA, you get the sword in the stone loot quest much easier, so you don’t miss it early in the game
- Never have your full roster of henchmen, always kill with your genius obsolete characters, if they are not needed for quests
- skip the tutorial
Critical Dependencies
Keep Henchmen slots free
- You can miss Henchmen if you all ready have 5 henchmen
- Select your Genius and right click on the henchmen you want to kill
- click “Yes” on the dialog
Clara is the key
- get Clara
- get the terracotta army
- Carl is not needed for the henchmen achievement
Don’t kill Olga too soon
- Olga is needed for the broken time machine so don’t kill her too early
Hubbard slice before Flame of Prometheus
- unlock Flame of Prometheus by setting something on fire (Flame walls count it seems)
- DON’T DO THE QUEST!
- Progess until you get the Hubbard slice Quest
- do the Hubbard slice quest
- do the Flame of Prometheus Quest
Get the Superagents out fast
- Agent X is needed for the early Declaration of independence
- Olga is needed for Sword in the Stone (Not needed if you play Emma)
- Wrecking Bolas Death is needed for King Solomon’s Mines
- Agent X needs to be dead for Ray Gun Dispenser
FAQ
Is Espectro needed for the Henchmen Achievement?
He is not needed. In this guide a new 1.4 game was started with him and the new item pack, but it is not necessary
Is the preorder loot needed?
No, only the regular 32 loot items count
Questlist in the order i progessed and got the achievements
Note: I just realize that i played the german version and don’t have all english names for the quest, so i am sorry, i may add them later by names, but i think you get the idea by these meta names
The Quest order is mostly changeable as long as you don’t progess the main story, but look for certain dependencies, like never do the flame before the ice loot quest

Very interesting. I’ve tried 2 times before and didn’t get all the loot or henchmen. This guide will aid me in my 3rd attempt. I’m using Max now (since I do need a few achievements as well for him). Is there a reason you chose Janet Bombe as your first Henchwoman or can you also pick Jubei? I love Jubei as my go to Henchmen, since he has Windwalk and Flow abilities who are clutch in early game.
