Caution: There are reports the achievement glitching. The game permits a large number of manual saves. It is wise to maintain insurance saves in addition to the game’s auto saves. As stated in a comment, a glitch was remedied by reverting to an insurance save before completing the Gravehal Tower quest. It is wise to have a backup manual save made at a point before you embark on The Legend of Dead Kell in case of a catastrophic glitch.

**Restoring Gravehal
**Gravehal Armory
**Gravehal Tunnels
**Gravehal Library
**Gravehal Gallery
**Gravehal Tower

This achievement glitched on me. When returning to Paddy for the final time I skipped through the conversations (not sure it matters) and the achievement didn't unlock. I thought it might require also at least starting some of the post-build quests but it never did. The quest completed and the post-build quests were available. Restarted and everything and nothing resolved it.
I ended up having to revert to an earlier save before I completed the tower and ran through it again. Then it unlocked.

Thanks for the info. I added a note recommending the use of insurance saves as you have done. I’m sure it was annoying; however, the precautions you took appear to have mitigated some of the aggravation.

Be sure to speak to Padrig and accept the "Gravehal Keep" quest early on when arriving at Cape Solace to begin this process. As you work on the main quest of this DLC, keep an eye out for loot labeled "bundle of X" as these will be the materials used to upgrade the keep. Each time you get enough materials to upgrade, it takes about 20 minutes of real world time for it to complete. If you need more materials, making the "Restoring Gravehal" quest active will lead you to the materials on your map. Once you finish the DLC questline, you will have access to the final upgrade of the keep to complete this achievement.
