Iron Man
Description: Finish the campaign without dying

And Here Is Your Statue
Description: Finish the campaign with at least 10000 total Fame
Guide: If you are going for this achievement, I suggest you go with pack animals and a balanced team (but focus more on greens and blues for the challenges) in order to bring the most amount of loot back.

Pacifism Ain’t Easy
Description: Play the entire campaign without killing anything in combat
Guide: One, pick the Stealthy perk that allows you to lower attention chance. Two, when you select expeditions, try not to pick the ones that involve guardian animals, such as the orchid one. Three, you can always go with the Taishi Academy since they can provide you with firecrackers once you get a few levels in. Firecrackers can scare away the local fauna.

Nahua Seeker
Description: Complete 5 islands without killing anything in combat
Guide: Take the stealthy perk, plan your travels to avoid combat, use firecrackers from Taishi Academy to chase enemies out of an area, hire local hunters to take out troublesome enemies (since they are technically killed by locals not you). Do this on five expeditions.

Look Ma, No Equipment!
Description: Complete an island with nothing equipped
Guide: Just put everything on your person into the inventory when you are in Paris before going on an expedition and complete it. Try to do this together with the Nahua Seeker unlock since have nothing equipped means you will likely have a tough time fighting enemies. Best done with easier islands.

Zookeeper

Guide: Fire your human companions and pick up animal companions. You can take up animal companions for free at the bar. You can also unlock the treasure corgi at the Royal Avalon Society. Best done with easier islands.

Frugal
Description: Complete a standard expedition (non-story) without buying anything from the Ship Shop
Guide: The main challenge is your sanity. You need to do a lot of scrounging and try to maintain good standing with the locals so you can rest in villages. If you are a plunderer, you can use shrines to restore your sanity by plundering. Other potential characters that can help are: the missionary that allows you to rest for free in missions, the chef that can help you use the meat better restore sanity and the translator that helps you better restore sanity at villages.

Good Mama

Practical Palaeontology

Guide: Follow the guide for Good Mama for an adult dino. Get a saddle and mount up for this one to pop.

Guide: Just keep doing the dice challenges. You can always use the potions purchased from the supply ship when you begin to help you complete challenges.

Under the Table
Description: Win all rounds of the drinking contest
Guide: This comes as a random event when you are in Paris. It should be easier as a combat oriented character (big game hunter/taxonomist) since the challenge requires red dies.
