Kin and Conquest Steam Achievements
Thirty-six achievements and how to approach them
Kin and Conquest launches on Steam with 36 achievements. Exact unlock text lives in the Steam client and can shift with patches, so treat this page as a strategy guide for categories of goals—not a spoiler dump of every secret string. Use it with the Progress Checklist, Challenges & Souls, and Walkthrough pages.
Achievement categories you should expect
While Steam lists the full set in-client, incremental action games from The Fox Knocks typically group unlocks around:
- Onboarding — finish the tutorial, complete a first floor, buy a first upgrade.
- Floor clears — Normal through higher difficulties on successive mountain floors.
- Combat milestones — kill totals, guardian victories, no-death or shield-related clears.
- Progression systems — unlock weapon recipes, invest in Skill Tree branches, collect Blessings.
- Challenge / Soul goals — complete named challenges that also feed meta currency.
- Endgame — confront or defeat the Evil Geomancer and related climax conditions.
Check your Steam overlay after each session; many unlocks fire quietly after hub returns.
Efficient completionist route
- Play the revised tutorial and first Normal floor without rushing Extreme.
- Unlock a stable weapon path and Survival or Cunning starter nodes.
- Clear guardians on each unlocked floor before farming kill challenges.
- Finish Soul-linked challenges while the floor is still quick.
- Raise difficulty once recipes and Blessings stabilize.
- Push walkthrough goals toward the Evil Geomancer for endgame achievements.
This order minimizes backtracking compared with chasing Extreme achievements before recipes exist.
Achievements versus challenges
Achievements are Steam metadata. Challenges are in-game objectives that award Souls. Some overlap thematically (kill X enemies), but completing a challenge does not always equal an achievement and vice versa. Track both: Steam for completionists, in-game challenge UI for power.
Tips that prevent missed unlocks
- Do not skip mining — economy-related unlocks often need upgrades you cannot afford without ore coins.
- Confirm difficulty — some goals specify Normal or higher; hover the run menu breakdown.
- Finish hub purchases — leaving the shop mid-prompt can delay progression flags.
- Replay after patches — 0.5.x balance and 1.0 release may retune thresholds; recheck Steam if an unlock seems stuck.
- Controller users — ensure menu confirm works so shop and skill purchases count.
Soundtrack and extras
Steam also sells a Kin and Conquest Soundtrack DLC. It is unrelated to achievement completion but pairs well if you enjoy the score discussed by the developer community. Purchase links sit on the Steam store page referenced from Official Links.

Spoiler policy
This fan wiki avoids listing every achievement name and hidden condition so you can discover flavor text in Steam. When community guides publish full tables after launch week, we will expand concrete thresholds carefully without inventing unlocks.
