At A Glance

The Relic: First Guardian ships 37 Steam achievements, all tied to the base game — there is no public evidence the paid The Night of the Unextinguished Flame DLC adds its own achievement list. This trophy guide groups what the set generally rewards honestly, without inventing exact names or global unlock percentages Steam has not published yet. Track your own progress on Steam.

The Relic: First Guardian cinematic story encounter — completion and trophy hunting

Fact	Detail
Total achievements	37
Platform	Steam Achievements
DLC achievements	No public list confirmed — treat DLC content as gear/lore, not a trophy source
Boss-tied achievements	Likely — most boss-heavy action RPGs tie a chunk of the list to named boss kills

What do the achievements track?

Without a confirmed public list of names or Steam global unlock rates yet, the 37-achievement set most likely sorts into the categories common to boss-heavy, gear-driven action RPGs like this one — this page groups by category rather than guessing individual titles.

Likely category	What it covers
Story progress	Reaching key story beats across Arsilthus
Boss defeats	Named Brutal boss kills, likely including a handful of specific named bosses plus a broader milestone
Collection	Relic, weapon, or Relic Energy milestones — over 70 Relics and 5 weapon types give plenty of collection surface area
Exploration	Sealing Stones cleared or regions fully explored
Challenge runs	Combat-skill or restriction-based unlocks, such as a no-hit boss clear

Names and unlock rates will be added once public

Exact achievement names and Steam global unlock percentages will be added once pulled directly from Steam's public community stats page. This page intentionally avoids inventing specific names or fake percentages ahead of that confirmation — a guessed achievement title is worse than no title at all.

Up to 80 bosses makes a "beat them all" goal a real time sink

The Relic: First Guardian features up to 80 Brutal bosses, most of them optional, each framed as its own standalone tragic folk tale. If the achievement list includes any goal tied to defeating a set number of bosses — common in this genre — expect it to demand deliberately hunting down optional fights rather than something a single story-focused run would clear by accident. That is the single biggest reason to treat completion as a two-pass job: story first, boss cleanup second.

How should I plan a completion run?

A single linear playthrough clears most of the story-tied achievements naturally. Everything else — collection, exploration, and challenge goals — is a second pass you do deliberately once you understand the systems.

Stage	Focus
First playthrough	Follow the main story route and beat the bosses blocking it — story achievements unlock as you go
Post-story cleanup	Return to optional Brutal bosses you skipped, using stronger Relics and a finished skill tree
Collection pass	Track down unclaimed Relics and unique weapons using Relics and Weapons
Exploration pass	Clear remaining Sealing Stones and Field Events across regions — see the map guide
Challenge pass	Attempt any no-hit or restriction-based fights last, once your build is fully unlocked

Tips for chasing full completion

Achievement hunting in The Relic: First Guardian mostly means playing through the story once, then returning for optional Brutal bosses and leftover collectibles.

Do01Clear the walkthrough story path first — most story-tied achievements unlock naturally
Do02Return to optional bosses on the bosses hub for any "defeat every Brutal" style goals
Do03Track Relic collection on Relics if a completion achievement exists for it
Do04Clear Sealing Stones you skipped while rushing the story — exploration achievements are easy to leave behind by accident
Do05Don’t expect DLC content to add a separate achievement track — treat The Night of the Unextinguished Flame rewards as bonus gear, not trophy progress

Keep a personal tracker until Steam names are public

Until Steam publishes the full achievement list with global unlock rates, maintain a simple private checklist: story beats cleared, named Brutals defeated, Sealing Stones done, unique weapons found, Relic slots filled. That personal log is more useful than waiting for a community spreadsheet — and it maps cleanly onto the map guide and weapons pages on this site.

Challenge achievements belong at the end of the plan

If the set includes no-hit clears, timed kills, or restriction runs, attempt them only after your skill tree and Relic loadout are finished. Early challenge attempts burn materials and patience without teaching the fight as well as a normal clear does first.

DLC is gear, not a second trophy track

The The Night of the Unextinguished Flame package is documented around a dungeon, a Sealstone Relic, and exclusive armor/weapon pieces. Use those items to make base-game achievements easier if you own the DLC — do not stall your 37-achievement plan waiting for a separate DLC trophy list that has not been confirmed publicly.

Does the review reception affect completion time?

The Relic: First Guardian launched to a Mixed (Steam launch window) Steam reception, with critics generally praising the combat feel and boss variety while flagging camera and polish issues. None of that changes how the achievement list works, but it does mean patches are still landing — worth checking the Steam news page if an achievement seems to not be tracking correctly, since post-launch fixes are common for a game this fresh.

Track01Keep the game updated — achievement-tracking bugs are more likely to be patched than permanent
Track02Don’t assume a missed pop is your fault before checking recent patch notes
Track03Screenshot or note unusual boss-kill order if you’re speedrunning completion, in case a specific sequence matters
