How to unlock the Jack of All Trades achievement in The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales - Definitive Guide

There are 10 artefacts, and you'll need to play through the level twice for this achievement. There are two types of artefacts: combat, & dialogue ones. You'll want to use artefacts whenever you get the prompt to do so. When you've played through the book you can replay it by restarting the game and continuing.

You'll get a choice between which combat one you want first: the Doll (single-target) or the Book (multi-target).

You'll also get the Wand, Broom, Cloak, & Toxin Capsule to use in dialogue.

The Wand, & Broom removes an enemy, the Toxin removes two, and the Cloak won't do anything. I'd recommend to use the Toxin on the third group of enemies and the Cloak on the second group. Do not use the Toxin on the second group of enemies as that will remove that enemy encounter.

After the first battle you can open Bookwalker Briefacases on the table and swap to either the Bottle of Life (heals you), or the Blaster (single-target 5 damage to an enemy, uses no ink).

After the second battle you can open the Bookwalker Briefacases right to the left of you after the battle and swap to either the Scythe (insta-kill an enemy), or the Shield Generator (5 shields next to your health. Does not stack with your regular shield).

Should be noted that you can not chapter select book 7 (at least I didn't have the option). However after you beat the game you can continue and be at the ending of book 6.

Победили первую группу врагов? Выйдите из игры. Используйте другие артефакты. Вместо книги используйте куклу вуду. Со второй и третьей группой по такому же принципу. Что касается диалоговых артефактов. Используйте сначала плащ чтобы прокрасться, дальше на первой или второй группе метлу или жезл. На третьей токсин

I'll leave the same suggestion I did for Luddite as this one requires being cautious and not finishing Book 7 completely. You will need to exit to main menu and continue before ascending the staircase. See my explanation below:

To get both the Luddite and Jack of All Trades achievements, you need to make multiple (A minimum of 3, I believe) playthroughs of Book 7. However, book 7 cannot be accessed through chapter select after completing it. You have to replay book 6 in its entirety to gain access to book 7 again. I recommend playing through the three combats while using as many of the artifacts first, then exiting and reloading the chapter, use the remaining artifacts, to get Jack of All Trades first. Then exit the chapter again after the third combat, continue again, and do the three combats without artifacts to get Luddite.

Note: When exiting and continuing Book 7, I encountered a glitch where I returned to the interlude between books 6 and 7 but everything was frozen. I had to close the game out entirely and relaunch it in order to continue and replay Book 7 properly.

^The above comment solution did NOT work for me. It seemed like quitting mid-chapter wasn't "saving" my use of the items and every time I restarted it, I think the game was treating it like a fresh start. It only unlocked after I did a full playthrough, finishing the game, with one set of items and then replayed book 7 and used the second set of items.

Also very important to note that you have to close the game after finishing it if you want "continue" to start you at the end of book 6. Otherwise it just spits you back at the credits over and over again.

You can see an autosave symbol in the top right when you change rooms. Go up the stairs after the penultimate battle, to the bosses room. While in transition, it'll save, and then you can quit out to menu and continue (which will take you to the start of chapter 7 again). It did something weird the first time I continued, so if it doesn't load you into where you hop back into book 6 to avoid capture, just dashboard and load the game up again. I have to say, I wasn't very impressed by this guide--there is alot of info missing. I was able to do this in 2 run throughs of Ch.7, making sure to go into the bosses room to get the autosave, like I mentioned

Bajh on's suggestion works, just need to make sure you walk up the stairs into the room after the 3rd fight, so it saves. Then just dashboard and quit the game and restart and you'll be at the end of Book 6 again.

It is possible to get Jack of Trades and Luddite without doing chapter select and replaying all of chapter 6.

The 10 artifacts are:
Wand, broom, cloak, toxin, doll, book, bottle, blaster, shield and scythe

DO JACK OF ALL TRADES BEFORE DOING LUDDITE

The reason I say to do Jack of All Trades before luddite is because (at least for me) the jack of all trades popped before speaking to the boss whereas luddite didnt pop until the epilogue meaning if you do luddite first you might have to chapter select and redo the entire book 6 if it pops late for you.

When you get to the black and white part of book 7 you will be given a choice between the doll or the book. Pick Either. You will also be given the broom, cloak, wand and toxin.

At the first fight use broom, than wand. Fight. Make sure to use whatever item you picked earlier (Book or doll). And pick up either the blaster or bottle.

At the 2nd fight DO NOT USE TOXIN. Use cloak and if you didnt use wand earlier you can also use it now. Beat the enemy using the blaster or bottle. Pick up either shield or scythe.

At the 3rd fight use toxin. Win the fight using the scythe or shield. Go up the stairs into the boss room. DO NOT TALK. As soon as you see the autosave in the top right corner (looks like a little star) quit the game. Main menu sometimes glitches the game so its better to completely quit.

Upon selecting continue you will be at the end of book 6 just before the start of book 7. Now just choose the exact opposite items that you chose previously. Upon using the last item during fight 3 (before stairs) your achievement should pop. If not you must have missed a artifact.

You can now once again quit and continue to be at the end of book 6 and you can now go for the Luddite achievement.
