How to unlock the The Watcher With Eight Friends achievement in Pillars of Eternity - Definitive Guide

Here's the people you need to recruit, in the order I encountered them:

* Aloth - Gilded Vale, outside the tavern
* Eber - Gilded Vale, near the hanging tree, after advancing main questline a little
* Durance - Magran's Crossing, at the crossroads shrine
* Kana - Caed Nua, at zone entrance
* Sagani - Woodend Plains
* Pallegina - Ondra's Gift, outside Vailian Trading Post, available after "At All Costs" quest
* Hiravias - Stonewall Gorge
* Grieving Mother - Dyrford Village

I didn't run into any issues or prerequisites to recruiting them, other than noted above.

I just recruited Pallegina and now have all 8 companions but no achievement, is it supposed to pop right away or do i have to do something more?

I'm having the same problem. I picked up all 8 companions several hours ago. I'm wondering if it's bugged.

So, no answer on this? Is another one that only unlocks at the end of the game?

As Nick S Admin noted, must be done in one sitting.

What do you guys mean 1 sitting? Recruit them all without turning the Xbox off?

Well that sucks... shouldn't take too long to get though. Shame the achievement wasn't worded to reflect that.

It's not the only chievos that's like that, several several of them are tied to "one sitting". Which, imo, is pretty stupid as there are a number of us who can't dedicate 20 hours in one go on a game, I myself actually do have a job to attend to once in a while

You don’t have to play the game non-stop. You do have to leave you Xbox on though. You can even exit the game, just as long as you don’t go offline or lose power. I kept my Xbox on for 8 straight days.

Good thing those Devs didn't have any of their programming on the moon lander huh?

Lol... I’m with ya. I harassed them on their forums, but they don’t care. They’ve already moved on. I nixed my pre order of PoE 2, because of their lack of care about their work.

Was there a work around for this to grab everyone at once later in the game in any way? If you’ve already gotten some. Can you make randoms to swap out and in etc?

Who said again that devs and MS test their game before release? Looks like devs have no f.. clue on how to set up achievements and MS got support just the name! Unbelievable!

Soooo, my mistake in Pillars 2. Obsidian Developed it and another company, NOT Paradox, published it. So I think I'll give it a swing as it's on GamePass now.
As far a Paradox, just look at the travesty that Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 has become. F*** paradox

Paradox only cares for Europa Universalis 4, but in a wrong way. Instead of developing a 5, they always add paid DLC's that most of them are useless. Fans' mods are better than them.

If you can only have 5 followers at once, is there a way to keep followers without dismissing them?

The Xbox Series X/S may makes it a bit easier. The quick resume function that the console offers seems to prevent the achievement tracking to reset. Tested if with a few achievements and it should work with all ''one sitting'' achievements. Keep in mind that an power outage will result in a reset so maybe don't take to long if you're going for it.

Yet another title that devs have tossed in the trash and not been held accountable for. Quit supporting them with purchases of their titles

It's not just the party members chievo that's affected. In essence, every time the console is turned off, the tracker for the X amount of etc. Achievement gets reset to zero. So, you'd have to leave the console powered on for the entirety of the game playthrough to get the X amount Achievements. Meaning no power loss, no console updating, no console freezing, just a perfect little piece of electronics being powered on for near 100 hours or more depending on your play style. FUCK
THAT
