1000 / 16 achievements
Ouch. Despite being an easy game for another 1000 gamerscore, it would not be one of the first games I'd recommend. The gameplay is horrible, the graphics are horrible, the whole concept is horrible. The controls are unresponsive and annoying, the same annoyance is found in the games pointless mini-games. It takes a few hours to 1000 this game, but trust me, it's not because it's hard or anything, it's because everything takes so long to complete. Asking the Alethiometer a question takes like 40 seconds, while it should only take like 5.

Word of advice, if you're going for this game, make sure you get everything in one playthrough, as re-playing the levels are no less than boring. If you have to pick up a symbol in the beginning of the level, you will have to play through the whole friggin' level in order for the game to save it. Also, ask the Alethiometers as many questions as possible while playing through the game, otherwise you're in for a few pointless hours after getting everything else.

Child Of Destiny Child Of Destiny 250G

Complete the game.

Guide
Storyline achievement. Simply complete the game. Once you beat the zeppelin, the achievement unlocks.

Alchemist Alchemist 40G

Find at least 3 Elixers of the Witch.

Guide
The Elixirs are all hidden in the caves during the "The North" level. These caves are only accessible by Lyra who will have to dismount off Iorek to explore the caves. Counting from the first cave in this level, the first Elixir can be found in the third cave. The second is in the very last cave before you fight the witch (the cave in which two duck/chicken crossovers attack you). The third is given to you when you beat Queen Vala.

Shaman Suppressor Shaman Suppressor 10G

Defeat the Shaman Boss

Guide
Storyline achievement. You will get this after beating the first boss in the game. He shouldn't pose much threat to you.

Tank Destroyer Tank Destroyer 30G

Defeat the Tranq Tank Boss

Guide
Storyline achievement. Do not attempt to attack the tank before it has released an electric charge, as it will damage you. When it fires it's electric charge, make sure it misses you, as it will damage you. Running in circles around it is very helpful. When it has fired a few times, it will power down. Run over to it, press Y and, when prompted, mash X to tip it over, then attack it. It requires 4 tip over cycles in order to beat the tank. This boss is not that hard as long as you keep moving.

Witch Dominator Witch Dominator 30G

Defeat Queen Vala

Guide
Witch Dominator:
Storyline achievement. Get as close to Queen Vala as possible and swing wildly and blindly at her. Use the white glow below her as reference to where you're at in comparision to her. Once you've hit her a few times, you'll be prompted to hit the Y button in order to perform special Iorek vs. Witches action. Do this whenever you get the chance, as it will drain HP from her. After you beat her, the achievement will unlock.

Samoyed Ruler Samoyed Ruler 30G

Defeat the Samoyed Hunter Boss

Guide
Storyline achievement. This boss is quite easy. Just ignore his dæmon as much as possible, and keep on chasing the boss instead. Run up to him, hit him a few times, and let him 'teleport' to another position. Rinse and repeat until he's a goner.

Fire King Fire King 30G

Defeat the Flame Thrower Boss

Guide
Storyline achievement. You cannot hurt the flamethrower while his flame is lit. Just run in a large circle around him, avoiding his flame and the other guys shooting at you. Lyra will be making a huge snowball for you to hurl at the flamethrower. The timer at the top of the screen shows how long it'll take before the next snowball is ready. When it's ready, jump over the fiery gap, and hurl the snowball. You'll then be able to hurt him a little bit. You will have to hurl a total of 4 snowballs. Not a hard battle, but a lengthy one.

King Of Svalbard King Of Svalbard 30G

Defeat King Ragnar

Guide
Storyline achievement. King Ragnar is extremely easy to beat. You have to successfully hit a series of buttons in order to either be in Defence mode or Attack mode. Both modes requires you to use a combination of buttons, but in Attack mode, you will be on the damage dealing side. Make sure you do not miss the series of buttons! After damaging Ragnar enough, there will be another series of buttons where the bears attack each other. Succeed in hitting the buttons, and you will beat him.

Zeppelin Champion Zeppelin Champion 30G

Defeat the Zeppelin

Guide
Storyline achievement. At the end of the last level, when you reach the fire hurler, you must fight off both hunters and witches, while the fire hurler is prepped. Once it's up and running, you will have to interact with the fire hurler and press a series of buttons. The first ball of fire will kill a bunch of witches, and shortly after the zeppelin will appear. You must once again fight hunters and witches, and fire with the fire hurler once more. This ball will hit the zeppelin. The achievement will pop immediately.
