Achievements - Profession
There's already an existing guide by AMX for getting the profession endings so I'm just going to link his guide here instead of duplicating the info, please see their guide below:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974300888
Some of the profession endings are 'linked' together with you being rewarded the highest version of the linked professions. For example, the Soldier, General and Warrior are all related but you will only be able to get the ending for the best version that you have unlocked. So if you have have the requirements for unlocking the Soldier and General but not the Warrior profession endings then when you will only be able to get the General profession ending and not the Solider profession ending.
The way around this (which I assume you will use considering how many professions there are), is to buy stat reducing potions from the Mystery Man (Carlos). He sells these exclusively in the Winter season. 500g per potion to reduce Str / Int / Emo / Img and 1000g per potion to reduce Stamina / Mind / Charisma and will sell one of each potion each day. On the final day, use these to reduce your stats to the appropriate levels to get the lower level professions then go to the Epilogue to unlock the relevant Profession achievement.
Shortly after finishing the intro and the daughter becoming twelve years old, you will be given the choice of what type of dad you want to be for your daughter. Once you picked your option, at Home, you can click Grade to check your current status. During the course of the story, the daughter will raise concerns. How you respond to her will affect your scores.
Choose to be your daughter's friend and get 25+ points for Father is adorable.
Choose to be your daughter's protector and get 25+ points for Father is brave.
Choose to be your daughter's mentor and get 25+ points for Father is wise.
Get 75+ points for Father loves me a lot. May be a little bugged through, think it can trigger below 75. To get these points just make sure to always address your daughter's concerns rather than refusing to listen to them.
Have less than 50 points will give you this ending I believe. Ignore your daughter's concerns will raise Darkness and lower your Father loves me a lot rating.
Have total evaluation score above 50. Can be a very tricky to get done as you need to keep your regular score below 25 to prevent that ending from triggering and keep your Father loves me a lot low so you don't trigger that. I completed this by getting Father is Brave to 24 and Father loves me below 50 and have the combined values of above 50.
Achievements - Emotion
Single Romance Endings:
Polygamous Romance Endings:
To marry one of the eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, the following criteria meet:
Increase the NPC's favourability to 140+
See all three of the NPCs goodwill events
Talk to them once after seeing the NPC's third event to get their special item
To see all NPC friend stats, click the icon that looks like a book with a person on it on the bottom of the screen and click the Friends tab. All the bachelors and bachelorettes you have met will be listed here, those you have not met will be shown as an empty box with '???' in it.
Click on the NPC you want more details and extra details will be shown, including their list of gift favours and events you have completed.
There are two types of romance endings. Those that you marry one person and the other are polygamous relationships. Single romance endings require you to meet the requirements for the NPC and that NPC have the highest favourability. The NPC with the highest favourability will always be your marriage partner.
The other type of romance ending requires you to meet the requirements for both NPCs and have at least one of the NPCs as the highest ending. Otherwise you will only get the NPCs single romance ending.
One other thing to note is that certain professions do not allow for marriages.
You can increase NPC favourability by chatting with them each day, consulting, challenging them to debates or duels, gifting them or hanging out with them. Various skills in the Social Talent tree can help with increasing favourability.
You can complete every romance in a single playthrough except for the lord romances as you can only talk to your chosen lord. Just get every NPC to ~130 favourability then on the last turn boost their favourability to 140. So you need min of 3 runs to get each lord's romance endings.

Achievements - Main Story
Impossible to miss, just start the game for the first time.
Impossible to miss. Play through the intro till time skip. First spring will trigger. Then just keep playing and the other seasons will trigger when enough turns pass.
Impossible to miss, play the game until you reach the final turn.
Impossible to miss, letter received as part of epilogue.
Impossible to miss, go to your first Birdie Day event.
Impossible to miss, go to your first Volcano Ceremony event.
Vendor will come around every September if you have 1000g. You can reject her or choose to browse her wares. Purchase an item to unlock achievement. The vendor sells various items to boost stats and some decent equipment.
Go to Altar and click on St. Luke's Cathedral. Choose either Pray (200g) to reduce darkness by 5 (Pray) or Repent (500g) to reduce darkness by 15. You can use both of these once a turn so you can remove 20 darkness per turn at the Altar for a total cost of 700g.
Go to Abandoned Harbour, click Search Dark Alleys (3AP), then immediately leave.
These are random events that can occur once per run. You need the following requirements to trigger them:
Chef Brave - buy meal/snack from the restaurant 20 times
Elf - 30 Charisma
Strong Man - 30 Stamina
Wisdom - 30 Mind
Messenger - 400 Img
You'll get these randomly while doing your runs to get the other achievements so in practice they're impossible to miss.
These three achievements are all completed as part of the True Ending chain. The True Ending is really easy to get in Volcano Princess, you can easily get it on your very first run (I did lol). With 2 turns left to go, Lebsa will approach you to join her on a raid of the forest to fight the Owl Princess. Accept and you will do a run of Hell Beach with Lebsa. Kill the normal final boss of Hell Beach and you will fight the Owl Princess.
Defeat the owl Princess to unlock 'The Name of the Owl Girl'. Then reject Lebsa's offer (Royal / Bryan) and defeat Lebsa to unlock 'Tomb of Lebsa'. If Lebsa is your lord then event is slightly different, just defeat Lebsa. After defeating Lebsa continue the event until you return to your house like normal. Finish the last two turns and get 'Together with My Wife' true ending in the epilogue.
Achievements - Daughter's Growth
In the Volcano Ceremony, come first, second and third in the event. You have your choice of three types of events to compete in - fighting, dancing and debating. The Volcano Ceremony comes three times in a playthrough. If you find yourself having issues getting one of the spots (most likely second or third rather than first) you can try buying potions from Carlos to tank your stats before entering.
At Home, click Plan to select courses to learn. As you learn courses you will unlock new ones. Also you can enroll in advanced courses 3x per term. The first enroll is free, the second is 800g and the third is 1500g. Hard to miss, should be completed in one run.
Increase NPCs favourability until they reach Friend status. You can increase favourability by chatting to NPCs every turn, giving them gifts, using one of your three patiences to Consult, Challenge them to duels or debates or Hang Out with them. Should not be hard to accomplish, just remember to talk to people a lot and level up relevant skills in the Social Talent tree.
Increase NPCs favourability until they reach Best Friend status. Follow suggestions above.
Increase NPC's favourabilities and they will send you books which you can complete as courses.
Go to Altar and click on Guidance. You can spend your earned fame here to learn courses from Bishop Claire. To collect fame, you should complete activities that increase your fame such as completing explorations of the Forest, acting, winning horse races and attending banquets. It's important to note that Guidance is only available when your Darkness is below 50. Grind fame, then learn courses from the Claire until you finish it.
To tame a horse, you need to wait until the stable is unlocked in the story, then go to Wild Horse Lake, use the 'Catch Horse' option (uses 5 AP). Select which of the three areas to go (better horses require more mind). Click on one of the big bushes to start trying to tame horse. Click the green options. If you have Stallion's Diced Carrot you can use this to heal (not sure if it's actually worth doing this on the top end horses through, probably better to just use another option to reduce their will)
Once you get a horse you can upgrade them by buying Care Tools at the Blacksmith shop and using them at your stable to upgrade your horse. Care Tools can increase horse speed, number of accelerations and beauty.
To compete in races, go to Abandoned Harbour and click Underground Horse Racing. If a race or beauty contest is available, click on the participation button and select which horse you intend to enter. Enter and become top three (each competition has 4 spots so should not be hard to accomplish), repeat each turn until you are finished.
You can track your total gold earned by going to your profile and going to the Data tab. Acting, working at the baths and horse racing all good ways to make money. You can also make some money from explorations. Some of the advanced courses can give buffs to salary and tips at the bathhouse and increase theatre level. Dedication in the Social Talent tree will also increase your tips from the baths. The baths are probably the best overall source of gold.
You can track your total fame earned by going to your profile and going to the Data tab. Acting, the Banquet, exploring the forest and horse racing all good ways to earn fame regularly. You can also get fame from winning in competitions such as the Volcano Ceremony.
You can increase your darkness by learning how to pick pocket, stealing from NPCs after learning pick pocket, exploring the Dark Alleys, working particular jobs at the baths and ignoring your daughters concerns. A few options when talking to your daughter can give you minor darkness increases as well as choosing 'Promise' to admirers who send you gold in letters. There's also a few events where you can increase your darkness, choose options that seem more corrupt.
Click the icon on the bottom of the screen that looks like a yellow diamond on a red background to see your knight goals. Each lord has their own requirements, the first time you check this (game will prompt you to do so), your lord will ask you a few questions that will setup your goals (for some reason, Lebsa feels like she has far more options for getting points to me). Review the requirements and work towards finishing them.
Each requirement you finish will reward you gold + points. Once you get enough points you will unlock the next level and that levels' requirements. Each level you complete will unlock one achievement.
Level up your Str to 2500+. Learn courses that boost Str and go rowing/skating at Wild Horse Lake.
Level up your Int to 2500+. Learn courses that boost Int and use your bookcase at Home.
Level up your Emo to 2500+. Learn courses that boost Emo and use the Story Corner at the restaurant.

Go to Central Plaza and click Alchemy Room. There are six options available and they restock each season. You spend gold to attempt to 'Repair' the option. There are two types of potions, two types of decorations and two types of weapons. The chance to repair the item increases as your mind goes up. You can also increase your chance to repair by 10% with the Master of Alchemy skill in the Life Talent tree.
Achievements - World Exploration
Increase NPC favourability and you can use one of your three patiences to use 'Hang Out' to take them on a date. NPCs must be at Friend status to be taken out on a date unless you have the Beloved skill in the Social Tree which lowers the required favourability requirement to Acquaintance status instead.
There's four options for dates; Olaf Theatre, Alter Library and Ancient Colosseum are available immediately and requires 200g and the Royal Greenhouse unlocks after reaching Intermediate Knight and costs 300g. A date at any location require 2 Action Points.
To complete a 'perfect' date, you need to get 5 atmosphere value (displayed by coloured roses). During the date, you will be offered two sets of three choices. Pick the right option of the three and you will get extra atmosphere value. Then you will then be asked a question, respond correctly for a couple of points. Finally you will have the chance to offer a gift to increase atmosphere value (and increase favourability).
Once you have 5 atmosphere value, click the Smile or Ambiguous button then end the date to complete your first date.
The Spring Breeze skill in the Social Talent tree increases the base atmosphere value during a date.
Go to Wild Horse Lake and use Easel. Sketch costs 3 AP (6 in Winter) and gives you 20% chance of receiving a painting. Painting costs 7 AP and provides less +IMG but gives you a 100% chance of receiving a painting. Using this option also gives you the option of creating a landscape or a portrait. Portraits done will depend on which NPC is at the lake this turn and can be given to that NPC as a favour. Landscapes seem to be one star higher in quality from what I can tell.
Go to Central Plaza, click on Casting. Signing up for a play requires 6 AP and you need to meet at least one of the two requirements. You can do up to three plays a day assuming you can raise enough AP by refeshing the play.
Get the required rating after completing a play. To get lower grade performance, do plays with lower stats and / or pick the wrong options for each emotion. To get a S class grade performance, get high charisma and stats and pick the right option for the listed emotion all three times.
Boost your stats and get S class performances. Sign up for plays that offer more gold at the cost of 0 fame.
Go to Forgotten Valley, click Explore and select which level of the forest you want to Explore. Explorations require 8 AP, can be done once a day and you can take up to 2 NPC allies with you. NPCs can be invited to join you once they hit Friend status and you can select which two allies you want on your team here. You can also upgrade your allies level by using Purple Forging Stones at the Stone and upgrade luck using Red Essence Stones at the Wishing Pool.
Once you have completed an exploration by defeating the level's final boss you will unlock the next stage. There are four stages in total in the forest. You must complete the exploration (kill final boss) for this achievement.
Do explorations and fight enemies until you clear enough fights.
As you do explorations and win fights you and your allies will gain Exp. New Explorer requires you to reach level 5, Matured Explorer requires you to do reach level 10 and Excellent Demon Hunter requires you to reach level 20, which requires a lot of grinding in the forest. Make sure you go on explorations as much as you can.
Talk to NPCs and use one of your three patiences to Challenge the NPC and select 'Proposed Duel'. Not every NPC has an option to duel, some can only be challenged to debates. Winning duels will net you a reward (food, dice, etc.) from the NPC. Duels are very hard to win when you first start off, your stats suck compared to the NPCs. Once you've unlocked a number of other achievements, you can use points to unlock bonuses for later runs to make Dueling easier to get done. Before then, winning can often be a matter of pure luck with the winner simply being whoever gets to go first.
Talk to NPCs and select the Chat option. You can Chat with each NPC once per turn and will get one favourability for doing so. Tricks of the Trade skill in the Social Talent tree will give you a high chance to get a bonus point of favourability. Very easy achievement to get, just make sure you talk to NPC every turn and you'll get it done in no time.
Talk to NPCs and use one of your three patiences to use the Consult option.
Talk to NPCs and use the Gift option. You can give a NPC one gift per turn. Each NPC has their own pool of gifts they like.
Achievements - World Exploration (Part 2)
Admirers can be gained by working in the baths, acting or attending banquets. Wearing certain clothes can also increase your admirers, check Rebecca's shop in the Central Plaza (occasionally the Costume and Weapon Shops have a 20% discount sale btw, those are good times to grab something)
Go to Home and click the pink letters icon with the word 'Love'. The more admirers you have, the more letters you will receive. Use perception you've acquired to reply to letters. Replying can restore your mood, give you EMO or you can receive gold and other items from admirers.
You can increase your daughter's affection for you when at Home by clicking the pink flower (rose?) / lettuce thing and using the Chat, Give pocket money and Talk (3 AP) each turn. Also at Home, you can use 'Play games' to increase affection as well and when planning your course schedule, you can choose to have your daughter spend time for you for more affection as well. Other events can also impact the rating as well as not addressing your daughter's concerns.
Btw, getting to affection level 5 and 6 will give you an unique gift reward in the epilogue from your daughter. Getting to these will require you to grind as much affection as possible.
Go to the Central Plaza and take jobs in the baths.
Complete explorations until you earn enough money for the achievements. The Bounty Hunter skill in the Combat Talent tree can double gold drop from monsters to speed things up but you'd probably get this when going for the level 20 achievement.
Complete explorations until you earn enough items for the achievements. The Treasure Hunter skill in the Combat Talent tree can give you double drop from monsters to speed things up but you'd probably get this when going for the level 20 achievement.
Go to the Dark Alleys in the Abandoned Harbour. To get the final tier you will need to enter the Alley in Fall and Winter as you can only fight up to 25 enemies per season.
Participate in horse racing. See Running Pony achievement under Daughter's Growth for more details on mechanics.
Complete explorations of every zone in the forest. The first three stages should not be difficult to finish. Bring two allies and if you have trouble on a later zone, do a few more runs in the previous stage to gain more experience to level up and use spare Purple Forging Stones to level up your allies further. If you're having issues with the final zone, Hell Beach, I find Nina, Mona and Ze all very useful allies to have. Nina provides a heal, Mona provides a skill to give you an extra AP which helps use 3 point AP skills and Ze has skill with Petrification for applying a 1 turn CC.
With an OP daughter through, every stage (including Hell Beach) can be soloed without any allies. The Sunbird skill is nuts lol.
Go to Wild Horse Lake and click Cooking to bring up a list of recipes you can cook. Ingredients can be acquired from planting seeds, then harvest two turns later (click Harvest nearby to plant, you can increase the number plots you can plant with the Farmer's Blessing skill in the Life Talent tree). You can also buy up to three ingredients at the family restaurant each turn, from exploration drops and receive Horse Milk from horses you have at your stable. When cooking, don't forget to accept your level up rewards and use them in your inventory to open them and use the generated recipes to add them to your recipe list.
Go to Central Plaza and go to Banquet. You can go as many times as you have AP. Banquets require 5 AP.
Go to the Banquet, select Ginkgo Manor and select Left. Each location has a set of five nobles you can meet with some being exclusive to either left or right options. Go to the Banquet until you meet the Princess.
Do explorations in Flame River zone and go to every event possible. When you get event at the tower with choice of knocking, choose to knock. You must have at least 20 Charisma to do so. You must do this event three times, continue doing Flame River explorations until you have knocked three times, then you will be rewarded to achievement and a weapon.
Do explorations in Holy Light Valley and go to every event possible. Eventually you will trigger the wolf cub event. You must bring any dish that contains Beast Meat, Fish or Fire Lobster and choose to feed the wolf cub.
Conclusion
Hopefully this makes it easier to complete achievements that anyone is struggling to get. If you see any mistakes or any suggestions in how to get any of these achievements, please let me know so that it can added to the guide.
Thanks to @Sleepy for suggestions for improving the guide.
