Demons of the Past

To this date (March 2023), Demons of the Past was the first game in the SpellForce franchise graced with Achievements.

Now the thing is that Demons of the Past is sort of a buggy fest even after all this years since its release... and so are its Achievements.

In this article I'm not going to teach you how to get ALL the Achievements, not the ones that most of the time work as intended anyway, but hopefully I can share how I did managed to get them all, including the broken ones.

⚠ This is not a guide on how to play the game nor how to get ALL Achievements, simply how I managed to get them all. Don't be surprised if YOU get some of them on different locations.

Ok. First things, first...

1. It's highly recomended that you play the game with the SF2 DOTP Community Patch 1.4
2. You should also install the mod Respec by AngelTrump.
   If nothing else, it will be of great help later to get those count-dependent achievements. These achievements may seem like they are not working at times, but that's because sometimes the scripts don't count the clicks properly, so instead of the necessary amount of clicks you may have to surpass that number for the achievement to trigger.
3. Most achievements will work as intended, others are plain broken for good and there's a few we can fix with a simple script edit.
4. On the Difficult or Very Difficult level's requirement, the game only detect your level on the moment when trigger the achievement, so for some of these achievements, you can play them on Normal (or Easy), Make a Save just before triggering the achievement, change settings for a higher Difficulty to obtain the achievement and then go back to your current setting of Difficulty.
5. I'm going to separate the achievement's list below by map and into 3 categories:
   • Normal: These can be obtained with no problem
   • Count-Dependent: These require count click to obtain, like the number of spell casting.
   • Broken: These are the buggy ones or just plain broken. Some can be fixed with a script edit, others not so much...
6. There are a total of 55 achievements.

Now, let's go into the achievements' list. I'll try to keep things simple with the Icon, Name and description as it is on Steam and GoG. Below, it's my own commentary with a tip to help on the right direction.

The Stepping Stones

Difficulty courtsSneak through the city of Zerbo second times with the Mace of the Guardian on Very Difficult level.

This achievement is done in Zerbo's Island when sneaking through the city and should be done before attempting the Berserker thief achievement.

After obtaining the mace, equip it, complete the main story quest, teleport back to the beginning and enter the city again. (Don't unequip the mace until you get the achievement)

To earn this achievement, you need to cross the city again without being caught by the guards.

(*IMPORTANT*: Save very often)
You will know when you are caught because the guards will yell, turn hostile and run to attack you. At this point you have to reload to a previous save because the achievement is lost.

This achievement is obtained in the city of Zerbo and should be done after earning the Difficulty courts achievement.

If the achievement is attempted after obtaining the Difficulty courts achievement, just make sure you have the mace equipped, run to any guard to make them all hostile and slaughter them all! (Be careful with the commander, he's tough)

The achievement is awarded when all the enemies in the city are dead.

NOTE: When the option appears, give 100 gold to the Suspicious Figure to buy the Mace of the Guardian from him.
