Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – 100% Full Achievement Guide

Here I will present all known information on achievements and how to get them.

How to Obtain All Achievements

Getting 100% of the achievements can take three replayings of the game from the middle (or better yet, the beginning) to the finale.

The achievements themselves are not very difficult to obtain, but take a long time to unlock.

I recommend going straight through the game on “Core” difficulty (or higher), for there are many achievements attached to this difficulty of the game.

This guide will contain major spoilers to the Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader storyline –

Be warned!

TrueEnding (The Possessed Ship and How Did It All End?)

How Did It All End? – You raised your own abomination.

• An achievement linked to getting the true ending.

This achievement is tightly tied to your main character’s convictions – you should always hold the same ones in the situations described below, and this conviction should be your character’s dominant one.

In chapter 1 or 2, you need to approach the High Factotum and solve the problem with the servitors.

It matters which solution you choose in relation to Raikad Minoris at the end of the first chapter.

• Saving people and bombard – path of Benevolentia
• Save no one and bombard everything – path of Imperialis
• Fly away and not bombard – path of Hereticus

In Chapter 2 (before completing the quest chain on the three main planets), you must visit the cogitator (The same one you interacted with at the end of chapter 1 after escaping from Raikad Minoris.) located on your ship’s bridge.

After successfully passing the skill checks, you will be given the location of two locations where you need to collect data.

One place is on Dargonus in your private quarters. While in the bedroom, click on the book to open the secret door to the vault.

The place you are looking for is on the bench at the far end of the hall – sit on it. Here you will have to guess the correct combination of three answers. The combination is as follows:

• Glass of wine – Flame of Purity
• Book – Litabies of the Motive Force
• Music – The Symphony of Honour and Duty, Part 2
• After entering the combination, you will receive the data.

• The second location is on the planet Kiava Gamma. You need to get almost to the end of the location – a bit before the XCM boss.
• You need to find the wagon and remove the brake from it, then pick up the gear. After that you should enter the nearby side room with the cogitator. Interact with the cogitator, after which you will be asked to insert the gear into the mechanism on the wall. After that, a secret passage to another cogitator will open (it is surrounded by traps) – this is where you will get the data.

After collecting data from the two locations, return to the cogitator on your ship and interact with him by giving him the data.

After completing the quests on all three planets you will start two scenes on the ship – in one you will be told about the coronation, and in the second you will be offered to go to the cogitator – agree.

You will have a dialog with Nomos, a mysterious creature whose secret you need to learn. In this dialog you must NOT kill him and you must NOT be too rude to him (he is very touchy).

You will be given a quest in which you need to interview the characters on the bridge – do it right away, it won’t take long.

The next time you will meet Nomos, it will be at the coronation at the end of chapter 2 in your palace. Just talk to him and answer his questions.

The next meeting with Nomos will be in Chapter 4.

Talk to him periodically as you progress through the main storyline.

At one moment, a techpriest will infiltrate your ship. Leave him alive and let him work with Nomos.

Towards the end of Chapter 4, you will have enough data to complete his quest to collect data about his place of birth.

Then, after another dialogue with Nomos, you will receive the achievement of The Possessed Ship.

This will indicate that you have fulfilled most of the requirements for a true ending.

After you get to Epitaph (Tomb World) at the end of chapter 5, a scene will take place on the ship where Nomos will want to inhabit the body of the techpriest who previously arrived to you. Let him do it.

In the final battle against C’tan, Nomos will join your squad and help you in battle. We need him to stay alive (but it’s not very difficult).

After winning, turn to Nomos and let him absorb C’tan.

Associated Achievements

These achievements can be unlocked by playing the main story.

Don’t Touch This

On Core difficulty, stop the Chaos Spawn from eating cultists at the end of the Prologue. Beat the cultists first, then the monster. Let Abelard take damage while your team attacks the cultists. Move your characters close to enemies to act quickly.

Aviation Saviour

On Core difficulty, protect all shuttles at the end of Chapter 1. This is harder than the last achievement. You face a strong enemy with limited time. Keep the XCM boss controlled or he’ll start destroying shuttles after two rounds. The XCM does lots of area damage, so spread out your team. Use debuffs and control grenades to help. There are also weak enemies and a sniper that’s hard to reach.

Cleening Out the Tzeentch

Kill the Daemon of Tzeentch in the sewers under Star Thoroughfare. This can be done on any difficulty. On Raikad Minoris in Chapter 1, go to Star Thoroughfare. Find the passage down with the mirror ritual. Beat the heretics and search for a sewer entrance. In the sewers, talk to a wounded man in the corner. A demon will appear. Fight it. The boss teleports and takes control of nearby people when it loses health. Use area damage weapons. The boss isn’t very dangerous.

Those Who Are About to Die Salute You

Let the Khymerae kill all gladiators in the first Commorragh arena battle. In Chapter 3’s first arena fight, don’t stop the Khymerae from killing the gladiators on your side.
