How to unlock the Normal Difficulty achievement in The Banner Saga - Definitive Guide

Missable!

  • Do not switch difficulty.
  • As you're going for Quartermaster?, you must make sure you never run out of supplies. Chapter 1, 2, and 3 can be completed no trouble without buying supplies. HOWEVER, you must recruit Onef in Frostvellr and raid the storehouse. Check Quartermaster? for details.
  • Do not buy supplies in Frostvellr in chapter 4, Sigrholm in chapter 6, or Boersgard in chapter 7 as 1:1 rates are terrible.
  • You want to combine Quartermaster? with Forced March?, so never rest nor waste days like some events would have you do. You have some leeway in regards to forced march as I was able to do the 3 days at the bridge, 3 days for the Godscale, and the 1 day in checking out Haukstorp and still made it with more than a week to spare.
  • As you'll be recruiting Onef, who will then allow you recruit Ekkill, you'll have all the classes available to you this playthrough so make sure to get a kill with each.
  • You'll want to get Warmonger? this playthrough so don't skip battles and always do the second phase of the war battles mostly located in Chapter 3. Most recommend you "Charge" and if you can do it then lovely as it will mean more renown for you. However, if you want an easier time you can select "Hold them Off" instead. In my testing I've seen a battle with "Charge" having 9 enemy units, while the same battle on "Hold them Off" had just 5 enemy units.
  • When on the bridge in Chapter 5, make sure you do all 3 battles to be given permission to blow up the bridge. It'll get you Diplomat? and help towards Warmonger?.
  • Make sure not to miss the items listed in Treasure Hunter?.
  • If you go for Master Tactician? in this step, then make use of PS+ Cloud Storage so you can download your save afterwards as it will void Normal Difficulty?.
