How to unlock the My precious… achievement in Styx: Shards of Darkness - Definitive Guide

Obviously this can be obtained over the course of the game by simply playing it, but if you're eager to get it out of the way, this can be obtained at the end of the 2nd Mission, Korrangar.

During this level, you'll be given a side quest to open an Amber storage vault.

Over the course of both sections of the mission, you'll need to find 5 tiles that are hidden in various rooms to be able to open the vault. Look for doors that have a white circular mat in front of them. In Amber Vision these mats display an arrow pointing toward the door. Inside will be 1 of 5 tiles and, obviously, an enemy or two. There are 3 tiles in the first section, and 2 in the second. The second half starts when you reach the balcony, so make sure you have 3 tiles before moving forward because you can't come back.

In the second half (after reaching the balcony), the vault will be to your right, but there are still 2 tiles to collect before going there and they're pretty easy to find on the second floor of the building in front of you, and on the ground floor in the building off to your left from where the game starts you off.

Once you have all 5 pieces, make your way to the vault room where you'll need to place the tiles in the spots the game highlights and read each clue. There are 5 pedestals in the room with a rotating wheel with 4 pictures that are the corresponding answers to the clues. Using Amber Vision you can see the order they go in by the Roman numerals in the white circular mat by each pedestal. This is a very easy puzzle, trust me.

Once all of the pictures on the pedestals are in place the staircase down to the vault is open. Once down in the vault you'll see that there are far more than 25 vials of Amber lining the room. You can stay here and drink them to your heart's content, using Amber powers like Invisibility and Cloning to grind out those other achievements as you like.

To drink a Vial of Amber press and hold then press . You start the game with 3 vials. You should get this without even trying but if you want to unlock it as soon as possible then do it as soon as you start.

Quick Save your game. Press and hold then press to go invisible. This will consume amber as you can only drink a Vial of Amber if your gauge is not full. Once your amber falls drink all 3 vials of amber. Reload your Quick Save and do it again. It took me 4 minutes to do this 25 times. The trophy will unlock immediately after drinking the 25th vial.

Amber potions are bright yellow/orange flasks that can be found around the many zones within each mission. Take note, however, that they are somewhat scarce and they are usually found out of the way from the main objective for each mission. That being said, the first skill in the Alchemy talent tree, Amber Distiller, allows Styx to craft his own vials of amber at crafting stations provided you have the materials necessary to do so.

In order to drink an amber potion, you will need to access the inventory menu by pressing and then tapping to consume the item. Drinking amber potions will help replenish a portion of your amber gauge, which is used for Styx's powers (Cloning, Invisibility, Rebirth, etc.). As a cumulative achievement, this will come naturally as you drink twenty-five amber potions throughout your playthrough.

The trophy is easily obtained without farming, in the process of obtaining other trophies. But if you want to speed up the process, in mission No. 2, there is an additional task - to open the Amber warehouse. To do this, you need to collect 5 signs at the location before.
There are about 30-40 jars of Amber in this warehouse, calmly complete the trophy. Here you can quickly get The Unseen Gob is the Deadliest . Just stand in visa and drink Amber.
