How to unlock the Ginger achievement in Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Definitive Guide
Main Quest: Ginger in a Pickle
Missable, but you can load the mission save again once you've completed the quest.
For this achievement, once you find Ginger you must agree to kill the bandits for him. Do not lie about killing them already as it will not unlock the achievement. Note: You can agree to kill the bandits for The Twins with the same outcome, but I lied to them instead. As long as you agree to either Ginger or the Twins you're good.
The bandits are located towards the far end of the forest, it will map out the area for you but just head for the large open area of the forest on your map and you'll find a camp site with two men.
As for killing the bandits I found using a bow to be the easiest method since you can kill them whilst they're chasing you. Obviously this voids the no kill achievement so you can load up the save again once you complete the mission and do it without killing the bandits (by lying, but this does require a few points in speech).
Once that's done head back to Ginger (or the twins) and tell him they're dead, then tell Ginger to return home.
Now head back yourself and talk to Sir Hamush and then Sir Radzig to finish the quest.
You'll then need to speak to Ginger once more, if he hasn't returned home yet just wait/sleep a day and he should turn up. Speak to him and he'll give you a Horse skill and the achievement.
*Credit to user Proud Dad MCAL for a quicker solution:
'I didn't have to reload a save, but after you find Ginger, tell him you'll kill the bandits, but instead of going to kill he bandits, go report back to the Captain, and tell him you need help killing the bandits (it will load up with you and the captain in a fight with bandits and just play defense and let the captain kill them both) that way, you don't need to reload if your going for a no kill run, and you also don't need to search for the bandits in the giant forest section it gives you...'
Story related but can be MISSED.
This takes place during the main quest "Ginger in a Pickle".
In order to obtain this, you must kill some bandits, which will void the trophy Merciful. You can always get this and then reload a previous save if you are going for no kills, as the game always creates a separate save file at the start of each main quest or do a manual save before you talk to the charcoal burners near Talmburg.
When searching for Ginger, you'll eventually arrive at the 3rd charcoal burner camp near Talmburg. They won't tell you where Ginger is hiding until you kill some bandits. Agree to kill the bandits (don't lie and say they're already dead).
Once you've killed them, report back to the charcoal burners and find out where Ginger is. Go to Ginger and select the dialogue option "Just go there and see what happens." when you try to leave. Now go back to Neuhof and talk to Sir Radzig to complete the quest, then wait for 24 hours and Ginger should be back. Talk to him for the trophy.

If we go through without killing, then we find Ryzhik, take the murder quest, go and tell the centurion Bernard. He kills the bandits, then as in the video, we send Ryzhik to the village and wait 24 hours.
NOT VERIFIED because it was received from a video and then downloaded and completed like that.
