If you’re going after all of the achievements in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3), you’re in for the long haul. The achievements in BG3 are fairly standard fare. They include campaign actions and conditions you can meet, like reaching a number of kills, for example. There is only one achievement related to difficulty in BG3, though. Here’s everything you need to know about them.
How many achievements are in BG3?
Baldur’s Gate 3 has 53 achievements on PC and 54 trophies on PlayStation that you can get while playing through the three arcs across the Forgotten Realms. There is a lot of work involved to complete 100 percent of this incredible game.
That additional trophy over on PlayStation is the game’s Platinum trophy, naturally. Like all other PlayStation games, the Platinum trophy can only be earned by earning all other trophies first.
It’s a reasonable number of achievements considering Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt‘s base game each have a long narrative like BG3 and feature 51 and 52 achievements, respectively.
All Achievements for BG3
Act One of Baldur’s Gate 3 features 11 achievements, Act Two has seven, while Act Three has six. There are also six companion achievements, 16 you can do in battle or by interacting with the world, one you get by going through the whole campaign, and six related to the game’s endings.
