How to unlock the Adventurer achievement in The Vale: Shadow of the Crown - Definitive Guide

Below is my guide to this achievement as well as completing the game in one playthrough. Please note that in all locations quest givers will tell you they no longer have quests available when you’ve done everything for them. Be sure to check in and verify you’ve done everything! Your point of no return for each location is deliberately opening your map and proceeding to go to the next zone. Simply put, don’t open the map until you’re ready to go!

Choices during missions do not matter in the grand scheme of things, you’ll just have negative or positive experiences like extra gold or a miscellaneous character dying or hating you.

I have omitted the main game information like ‘Go do the main quest by the boat” etc. As these are things you are forced to do to progress and are thrown into your face to complete. Even if you forget, you will undoubtedly stumble into them.
I also don’t mention buying gear from the blacksmith, just make sure you do that. I personally did light armor and fast weapons with high damage. DPS for the win?

A rough completion roadmap for the game:

1) Initial encounters/tutorial stuff -> Blooded Achievement.

2) Braga: 3x side quests in the Inn, 1x from Medicine Seller.
-> Well Traveled Achievement (Unmissable)
Buy armor and equipment.
-> Battle Ready Achievement (Unmissable)
Proceed to Rivertown.

3) Rivertown: 3x side quests in the Inn. 1x side quest at Blacksmith. 3x hunting quests.
Proceed to Mara/Crow.
-> Trained Achievement (Unmissable)
-> Hardened Achievement (Unmissable)

4) Crow
3x side quests at the crowd of monks
Proceed to Greeley.

5) Greeley
3x fights at the Greeley Street Fight arena
-> Champion of Greeley achievement (Missable)
6x Hunting Quests (One is a rift quest, 3rd mission given. Counts as a side quest rather than a hunting quest. After the third quest it is no longer raining and the dog will spawn for ‘Befriended.’)
-> Hunter Achievement (Missable)
Feed Dog
-> Befriended Achievement (Missable)
3x Side quest at Inn
1x Side quest from man outside
1x Side quest from Ainsley
Proceed to Summershire.

People are saying there’s a quest between Greeley and Summershire with the dog, I don’t remember that so it may be choice dependent.

6) Summershire:
Mill: 1x Side quest
-> Adventurer achievement (Missable)
Proceed to the next zone.

7) Take the crown.
-> Crowning Achievement. (Unmissable)

That’s it! If you have any questions drop a note below and I will endeavor to assist. Cheers.

That's odd, because i did absolutely everything that was stated in this guide and it was fine.

Achievement unlocked for me without any issue.

I'd have to say that you probably missed one somewhere.
Likely the Healer, Blacksmith or even one at Greeley.

It could've unfortunately bugged out on you, though, i doubt that's the case.

I am so sick of playing through an entire game, completing every task, and still not getting a glitchy achievement. Good guide, but even with everything done the chievo did not pop.
There is a part where your dog barks and you are offered a side quest to leave the path. Even with that though no chievo for me :o(

*** Edit *** When leaving Greeley, you have a choice to stay on the road with the guy and his cart, or take the hunting path. Following the road will lead you to the quest with the dog, and that gave me no achievement. Choosing the hunting path on my second play through attained me my achievement after the final mill quest.

There is also 3x Hunting Quests at Rivertown.

Very unfortunate, i'll need to do another playthrough.

All good though! Thank you, Vudix. 👍

Should add a point under Rivertown for the Hunting so it isn't missed. I thought it was all in Greeley when the Hunting is split between there and Rivertown.
Maybe also mention that the old man outside side quest leads to Ainsley's Side quest which leads to the final quest in Greeley.

Small note- it may have been a bug but Battle Ready is in fact missable. I only bought the bow before I left Braga and the achievement never popped. Thankfully its only about ten minutes into a second playthrough

Are you sure the crowd of monks in Crow are side quests? I know you can cycle through the quests but I couldn’t advance the story until I did these since these quests are necessary to learn the magic spells. I did however do the quests at the momentary where you can also cycle quests but these quests give you a bonus to your magic. Regardless I suggest everyone do the 3 quests at the crowd of monks (cheering/festival music sounds) and the 3 at the momentary (bells) before traveling onward.

I finished the last side quest at the mill, and I didn’t get the achievement. I double checked at every location to make sure I got them all, but for some reason it didn’t unlock.

I'm confused... How is this not a missable achievement?

Also, how are the other achievements that you've marked as missable... Not flagged as missable?

I specifically started this game in the hopes of just playing through without looking into anything, and saw no missable flags, and now I randomly decided to look at the achievements half way through and see this?

I've definitely missed a bunch already, so now I have to play through the entire game again for the quests?

It’s missable. Give it a flag. Flags are user generated.

Yeah there's 3 hunting quests on Rivertown from the fish seller: quest 1) 2 rabbits (5 copper each), quest 2) a bore (15 copper) and lastly quest 3) a deer (20 copper).
Combined with the 6 hunting quests on Greeley (in reality 5, 1 it's a rift quest) that would be 8 hunting quests, hope you updated e your walkthrough so people can do all in 1 run, and you should summit it as a walkthrough for the game, any way good job and thanks for the walkthrough and the effort +1.

Between Greeley and Summershire there's a moment, when your dog barks at the forest and you can check it out if you want.
I figured it was another upgrade for magic, which I don't care about, and decided not to go into the forest.

... Yeah, seems like those magic upgrades also count as "Side Quests".

Some notes: There are TWO SIDE MISSIONS WITH AINSLEY, The dog in the forest also counts. Generally speaking, the second you have the choice to press right trigger do it.

Oof. So I got to the part where you are travelling to Summershire, and the dog barks, and you have a choice to look after something and I thought - nah. Then immediately after, I thought, I hope I didn't regret that.

Yup. I made sure to do every other side quest before leaving any town. That is the only thing I missed and the achievement did not pop for me. So I bet that counts (or this is a buggy achievement).

Excellent guide followed to the T, is this achievement glitchy for anyone else? Did all side quests and got the achievement for hunting quests but this achievement has yet to unlock

Edit: i had to go back through the game again and after you leave greeley if you have the dog with you and take the main road there is a small mission that you have to do which is what i missed on my first time through
