This achievement involves quite a bit of RNG and gave me a bit of trouble as I didn't understand the description.
When you sometimes open a chest or read a book they can be cursed and can give you various different negative effects to your character, two of which being forgetfulness or blindness. These negative effects will appear in one of the "seal" slots on the right hand side of the screen (inventory) and when you receive a curse from a book/chest all you need to do is press B to use a flare which you can find on tiles or in chests.
The problem I had was that on multiple runs I picked up "seals" which are the items that you collect to increase your stats however some (maybe all) can also protect you from curses meaning if you pick up a seal there is a high likelihood you need to start another run as if you come across a book or chest with a curse a message will appear saying you were protected by your "seal" which means you can't get blindness or forgetfulness which means on that run you can't get the achievement.
So the requirements are:
-DO NOT PICK UP ANY SEAL ITEMS
-Pick up at least 1 flare
-Keep interacting with chests or books until you get blindness or forgetfulness (you will know as one of your "seal" slots will look different - I personally got cursed by a chest and a red outline of a human with a question mark symbol replaces the outline of a "seal" item in the top middle section of the inventory)
-Press B to use a flare when you have blindness or forgetfulness
After this the achievement should unlock.

During gameplay you can find books and chests which your character can use. Some of them have negative effects (curses) like blindness and forgetfulness. You will also need to find flares for this achievement.
Press
when your character is forgetful or blind and you have a flare in your inventory. Unfortunately finding a cursed item is luck-based and can require several tries.
Also watch out for the emeralds (green gem stone). If you pick one up it will block off curses (such as blindness and forgetfulness) and you will not be able to unlock the achievement.
If you have enough flares you can use them to scout the area. Just try to keep one in your inventory for the achievement.

As you are moving around the floor, you will reveal books and ancient chests. Some are harmless or beneficial while others can be cursed and hurt you. For this achievement, you need to become cursed with forgetfulness or blindness then use a flare.
As you are moving around the floor, if you are not carrying a flare, do not open either. Once you have obtained a flare, you can begin to open books and chests you have previously found. What you find is completely random so this may take a while or be quick. Just keep opening both until you’ve been cursed with one or the other then press
to use a flare to unlock the achievement.
When you become blind, at the top right of the screen, the top left space is filled in with a red eye. If you pick up an Opal, this negates the curse. On the other hand, if you previously picked up an Opal, you cannot be cursed with blindness.
When you become forgetful, at the top right of the screen, the top middle space is filled in with a red head with a question mark. If you pick up a Pearl, this negates the curse; however, if you previously picked up a Pearl, you cannot be cursed with forgetfulness.
You do not want to pick up either of these gems. The only way to avoid this is by continually using flares to reveal the spaces surrounding you or by obtaining a lantern, which is rare.
