    This solution is being copied over from my guide on xba.

    -----

    This achievement is obtainable during the quest entitled "Scenes From a Marriage" and is highly missable.

    After entering the Painted World (via a cutscene), you will be required to restore all of Iris von Everec's memories in order to progress with the quest. This is done by approaching the still memory and using your Witcher Senses to find clues on how to recreate the scene (such as picking up and placing a misplaced item in a specific spot).

    There are a total of 7 story-related memories that need to be restored (the fountain, the dinner table, the bedroom, the painting studio, Olgierd's study, the estate's cellar, and the dining room). There is also 1 optional, MISSABLE memory in the courtyard gazebo of the Painted World.

    The gazebo is located directly ahead of you once you enter the World, so make sure to head there and recreate its memory! Other than that, the remaining 7 memories are all mandatory/story-related and cannot be missed. Once the dining room memory has been restored, this achievement will unlock.

    TSOMindIF HAVING TROUBLE UNLOCKING

    I had tried several attempts trying to unlock this achievement and it didn't until I decided to clear my persistent storage under "Disc & Blu-ray>Blu-ray>Persistent Storage".

    After clearing, this achievement popped immediately after completing the dinning room memory.

After defeating the enemies, use you witcher senses around the fountain again and make sure you collect, a second bouquet and a wedding veil.

Now you will see a large painting on the back wall which is of the dinner scene. Interact with this and attempt to recreate the dinner scene so it matches the painting eg, light the two candles on the table. Finally light the fireplace and the third memory will trigger.

    Yanko 024After doing all this, I assumed I got the achievement and didn't notice that I did not get it. I don't understand why half of the stuff is still in my inventory; like the teapot, 2xflowers, wedding veil, night lamp, night gown, pipe...
    I finally noticed after doing Iris's worst nightmare 10 times only to have that not pop as well. Ugh, time for a break

    Story related, yet missable. You need to repair all the nightmares, that you encounter when you enter the painted world. People seem to miss the very first nightmare the most. It is located (and indicated on the map) right where you enter the painted world. Basically what you need to do is find the right things and put them in the hands of right people. All the other nightmares from there are properly marked and it does not seem you can miss them, since they open the doors for you to the next phase of the story.

    Thanks to HappyTheDevil for pointing this out.
