Tips
  • This was the method that personally worked best for me. Overall this game is random and luck based. I'm not really sure this matters, but I played on the game's overall difficultly of easy.
  • When getting rolls try not to put ones and sixes in the same column. You want to be able to have open spaces for another six to be in the same column. (My preferred numbers to group were threes and up. I tried to place ones and twos together in the same column and occasionally threes too)
  • If the option comes up, sometimes it's not always best to remove an opponents dice. If the opponent's column is full and they can't add anymore dice to that column, then you know whatever dice you put there are protected, and you can safely put your high value dice there without having to worry if they will be removed.
  • Always try to get doubles and triples of dice in a column.
  • If the situation comes up, were you have to decide if you stack a high value dice or remove an opponents high value dice, calculate it out and se if your stacking would be better or removing would be better. (Typically, for me, I noticed that stacking 2 sixes was better than removing 1 six from an opponent. But removing 2 or more sixes from an opponent was better than stacking them.)
  • Keep trying! sometimes it just isn't in the dice to win a round. There is no penalty to losing a game, unless you are betting money. But the very first time you play against these opponents, there is no betting.

*MISSABLE*

Warning: This achievement is missable, despite no other sites giving any indication of it. While obtaining all of the Fleeces for Transmute (30G), the final thing Death asks you to do for a Talisman shard is to sacrifice Rattau. You need to do so for that achievement, but it will remove Rattau from the game, and you'll be unable to play him in Knucklebones, thus making this achievement impossible to unlock on that save file. So make sure you play (and beat) Rattau in Knucklebones immediately upon meeting him, so you don't have to worry about missing it later.

Knucklebones first becomes available in the Lonely Shack area after meeting Rattau. There are a total of four opponents you need to defeat in Knucklebones. You'll meet Rattau in Darkwood, and then the other three opponents are unmissable (meeting them, that is) in each of the other three areas you'll be doing Crusades in to fight mini bosses and Bishops. Each NPC you talk to will then go to Lonely Shack where they then become available as an opponent. No money or anything is required to play and beat them for the first time.

While Knucklebones is a dice game and therefore technically luck based, there are some pretty basic strategies you can use to make it pretty likely you'll win each game.
 
  • Always prioritize putting a matching number in the same column as your opponent. For example, if your opponent has a 6 in the first column and then you roll one, put it in the first column too, with one exception:
  • If you have the option to double up your sixes or eliminate one of your opponent's, take the double points for you rather than eliminating six for your opponent.
  • If you have the option to either eliminate your opponent's double or double your own, eliminate your opponent's double
  • Keep each of your columns open with one square at all times. This is probably most important. Never fill up one of your columns unless you're either a) getting a double, or b) eliminating an opponent die with that final one. In general, that's what you're saving one open spot in each column for: either to double up (or triple up) one of the numbers you already have there, or to be able to eliminate a double your opponent has in that column.
That's really all the strategy I used, and I won every match first try. There is still obviously some luck involved, as you could end up getting lots of ones, twos, and threes, and just never be able to build up a higher score than your opponent. Thankfully there's no real penalty to losing, so you can simply try again until you win.

You can miss the trophy!
During the completion of the Full Flock / Multifaceted Community and Transmute / Transmutation trophies, you will need to find and talk to the wolf 4 times. At the 4th meeting, a prerequisite for completing the quest will be the sacrifice of Kryssau. If you haven’t managed to win it in dice before, this opportunity will be blocked
