Here’s a complete guide to unlocking all the achievements in Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, covering everything from story progression and difficulty choices to crafting, bestiary, fishing, skins, and hidden trophies. There are 52 achievements in total.
1. Choose Your Difficulty Once & Stick With It
The game has four story-completion achievements:
- Storyteller – Complete the story on Story difficulty.
- Ruination – Complete on Normal.
- Veteran Ruination – Complete on Veteran.
- Heroic Ruination – Complete on Heroic.
Important tip: Starting the game on Heroic and never lowering the difficulty ensures you unlock all four in one run. Many players confirm this stack works.
2. Story & Character-Milestone Achievements
These tend to unlock naturally as you progress the main narrative and recruit all key Champions. You’ll get:
- Wind Walker – Have Yasuo join your party.
- Fox Trot – Have Ahri join your party.
- Deep Sea Fishing – Have Pyke join your party.
- O Captain, My Captain – Have Miss Fortune join.
- Shared Purpose – Team up with Braum.
- Visions – Experience visions of Ruined King.
- Put to Rest – Cleanse Grey Harbor from Black Mist.
- Into the Utter Darkness – Arrive at the Shadow Isles.
- Dying Grove – Meet Maokai.
- Maokai Renewed – Return Maokai to full strength.
- Defying the Warden – Defeat Thresh.
- Reign of Terror – Defeat Possessed Gangplank.
- Ready for Ruin – Pass the Test of Nagakabouros.
- Reckoning with History – Complete Windrake Isle.
Since these are story-related, just playing through while exploring side-content will net them without special effort.
3. Champion Progression & Ultimate Abilities
- Ultimatum – Unlock a Level 3 Ultimate Ability.
- Ultramaximus – Unlock all Champion Ultimate Abilities.
To unlock Level 3 ultimates, you must complete Champion-specific side-quests (e.g., “The Cannon” for Miss Fortune, “The Token” for Braum, etc.) after meeting certain story points.
4. Currency, Crafting & Upgrades
Several achievements are tied to accumulation or crafting:
- Money Bags – Acquire 100,000 Gold (cumulative).
- Marked for Debt – Acquire 200 Black Marks (cumulative).
- Enchanting Novice – Enchant your first item.
- Enchanting Master – Enchant 30 items.
- Rare Infusion – Infuse 10 Rare items.
- Epic Infusion – Infuse 10 Epic items.
- Infusion Master – Infuse 30 items in total.
Tip: Use every enchantment and infusion you can early on rather than saving for perfect items. It will naturally unlock with progression.
5. Bestiary, Fishing & Side-Activities
These are grind-heavy and can be missed if you rush the story:
- Animality – Complete 25% of the Bestiary.
- Hunter – 50% of Bestiary.
- Apex Predator – 100% of Bestiary. Missable if you skip an enemy early (e.g., Pickpocket enemy).
- Chum Bucket – Catch 100 fish.
- Big Kahuna – Catch 10 epic fish.
- Fishing Journalist – Catch every type of fish and complete the journal.
Tip: Use Rest points and reload to reset fishing pools. One Reddit user reports missing a fish because they didn’t rest.
6. Rest Points, Meals & Skins
- Well Rested – Eat 15 meals at Rest Points.
- Good Listener – View every character dialogue at Rest Points.
- Oh This Old Thing? – Unlock an alternate skin for any champion.

8. Legendary Weapons & Ultimate Gear
- Legendary Power – Acquire 1 legendary weapon.
- Ultimate Arsenal – Acquire all legendary weapons (six in total).
These weapons are tied to side-quests and crafting components. For example: Ornn’s Will (Braum), Stormrazor (Yasuo), and Heart of the Goddess (Illaoi).
9. Lore & Collectibles
- Well Read – Collect 50% of lore entries.
- Master Archivist – Collect all unlockable lore entries.
- Town Gossip – Meet the Rumor Monger.
- Poro Bandit – Collect 5 treasures from Poro Holes.
Tip: Use your pulse (right analog stick) at rest points to detect interactables and lore items.
Final Thoughts
Unlocking all 52 achievements in Ruined King is a rewarding but substantial commitment. By selecting Heroic difficulty from the start, you’ll stack difficulty-related achievements in one run. Combine this with following side-quests, completing the Bestiary, fishing, crafting, and exploring every nook of the world, and you’ll unlock everything.
Be mindful of missable content—especially Bestiary enemies, fishing pools, and rare side-quests for legendary weapons. Many players report frustration when these get skipped inadvertently.
With preparation and dedication, you can achieve 100% completion in around 40-60 hours, depending on how much you explore. Good luck on your journey to obtaining every trophy and achievement in Ruined King!
