How to unlock the Challenge achievement

    You can get this after you've seen the 'you're dead' screen, but you have to load the previous save, (not the save on the top) ....before the 'you're dead' screen goes away.

    Do not load the resume save (the save on top), it resumes knowing that you died.
    Choose the save spot under it. You'll replay some parts.

    Don't hit any buttons to accept that you died. Pull up the menu and select load, then choose the 2nd save file.

    *I don't know how long the 'you're dead' screen stays up, or if you even need it to stay up to do this, the previous save may just be enough. But supposedly, in Banner Saga 1, it ruins the whole game save file once you've accepted death. I assume this carries over.

    robbozskiiDoes anyone know if losing a training battle counts as a lost battle for this achievement?

    I've contacted Stoic and their suggestion is to change the difficulty to hard BEFORE importing a TBS1 save, then continue to play through the game (w/Hard difficulty), and it should pop after the varl defeats the final foe. Shouldn't matter what data you import save carries over.

    I've gotten all achievements and I've beaten the game at least 4-5 times on hard. The best option is to import a TBS1 save with Alette after gaining 30 kills with your favored party member's AND Krumr, Bersi, & Mogun (these characters will help while playing as Bolverk). This is optional but, incredibly useful. I was able to get the world record globally using this method. (As of 2019)

    Sir LagselotIf you play as Rook, the battle after the tutorial battle counts. The last battle in the last chapter also counts. You cannot lose any battles. Period.

    Just a heads up that this achievement is glitched. I completed the game on Hard difficulty without losing a battle (I did reload when I was about to lose though I imagine that must be legal). I didn't even unlock the regular "Hard" achievement, just the one for normal difficulty.

    Didn't have anyone die of hunger nor get low morale and didn't get any of those achievements either.

    Tip from Sir Lagselot : "I've spoken with Stoic and their suggestion is to change the difficulty to hard BEFORE importing a TBS1 save, then continue to play through the game (w/Hard difficulty), and it should pop after the varl defeats the final foe."

    Myself, I didn't even import a game though, it still didn't count.

    Pink Freud PhDNo it's not, you just keep maiming while moving in a clockwise or counter clockwise pattern, using the enemies' high unit count against them to block each other while taking no damage.

    WhyattThrashThanks for the tip, I added it to the solution. I didn't even import a save game though, but it might help someone else.
