How to unlock the Agonizing Remorse achievement in Inscryption - Definitive Guide

This is obtained during the second phase of the second boss battle in Act 3


The boss will ask you to choose a file that is nearest to your heart, aka one that is important to you. The boss also specifies the files age. The boss then tells you that whatever file you chose will be permanently deleted from your disk if the card dies.

THIS IS MAINLY A MECHANIC FOR THE PC VERSION! On PC, you need to choose a file from your computer (you can just create a .txt file for this if you want). The older the file, the stronger the card.

Assuming you're playing on console (remember, this game is Play Anywhere enabled), NONE OF THIS MATTERS! You can simply choose any file from Luke's PC. The file will turn into a card (for me I chose the very first file option and it turned into a 4/4 card).

Now you just have to purposefully let the card die. I personally used the hammer (cn_RB shows you more options, one of which is a hammer that can delete any card on your board which can be strategically useful throughout the game) to kill my card and the achievement popped shortly after.


On PC, you may first need to follow the above steps and then go into your folder with the file and manually delete it yourself, and then beat the boss for it to pop.

I believe you mean Act 3? When P03 takes over?

Act 2 is the old-school rpg game.

According to the Fandom (dot-com) Wiki for Inscryption you can achieve this via the following:

If the Captive File dies during the fight with The Archivist, a text file will be created in the same directory as the file, asking the player to delete it themselves to respect the rules of the game. This achievement is earned by deleting the file or by simply moving it to a different location.
Based on this you will have to make sure you destroy one of the Captive File creature cards during that boss fight. Remember that these cards are created using actual files from your computer, so note which file you choose during the prompt. Once the card is defeated go to that file on your actual computer and move it to a different folder, or delete it if you don't care (you can restore it from your recycle bin if you "Don't empty it" as per the description of the achievement.

To add a few points:


*You have to delete or move the file you have chose after the card has perished
*Make sure that when you tab out to delete game does not freeze/pauses, if it does, then change it in the in-game options
*You have to delete the file still during the boss fight
*The achievement will pop after your file card perished > you deleted the file > continued and defeated the boss. At the end P03 will make a smug comment and you will get the achievement.

This can only be done during The Archivist boss battle. If you fail to do it in your initial and successful fight against The Archivist, you will need to revisit Act III in Chapter Select after finishing the game. 

At the beginning of the second round of the fight you will be asked to provide a file that is dear to your heart that shows age. This will be the chance for you to receive a powerful card to use in the second round based on the date of the file you choose. How to determine the sentimental value of the file is arbitrary and the good news is that you won't be using it anyway.

You can pick any file as it won't matter (See Rank and File trophy_bronze.png if you want to play the boss fight again with a more powerful card after you get this trophy) Whatever you choose, The Archivist will give you a card created out of that file. Put that card down onto the board and immediately destroy it with the hammer (square.png) for this trophy.

In the battle with the archivist (act 3), it is necessary to destroy a very important file. As soon as we put it on the table, we take a hammer and break it.
