The Tenebris Somnia achievements list contains 24 official Steam goals, including six hidden achievements. This page identifies their conditions and helps you separate exploration, combat restrictions and ending cleanup. It does not connect to Steam or verify account progress.
Open the achievement tracker for a filterable local checklist. The official conditions remain readable below without JavaScript. Names and hidden flags follow Steam; descriptions are concise editorial paraphrases. Changing global unlock percentages are not used as difficulty ratings.
Tenebris Somnia achievements: plan the right attempt
Start by identifying the scope of a goal. Some concern a repeated interaction, others a single fight, a collection, an entire run or a completed ending. These scopes are not interchangeable. Winning a fight with a particular weapon does not by itself establish that a full-run weapon restriction survived every earlier encounter.
Before committing, choose the goal you are actually attempting and read its full condition. This guide does not assign an official “missable” total: Steam’s short descriptions do not classify every recovery window, and a third-party count should not be promoted into an official figure.
Listed achievements
| Achievement | Requirement (editorial wording) |
|---|---|
| Stella Plena | Unlock every star locker. |
| Maybe He’s In The Bathroom | Knock at Iván’s apartment door ten times. |
| Thinking About Him, huh? | Inspect Ivan’s photograph five times. |
| The Two Stooges | Eliminate at least two enemies together; Carnitos do not count. |
| Valiant Little Taylor | Eliminate three Carnitos in a single strike. |
| He Just Wanted a Hug | Change rooms to escape a Vorax before it detonates. |
| You Can Stop Now | Continue travelling along the endless corridor. |
| Classics Never Die | Collect the iron pipe. |
| Devora | Collect the set of three film canisters. |
| One More For The Road | Consume Lavendoleum when Julia is already at full health. |
| Wrench Queen | Finish a run with the wrench as the only weapon used. |
| Butcheress | Win the Carnitos encounter without taking a hit. |
| Iron and wax | Win against Obscuratus with the wrench alone. |
| Exhaust Pipe | Win against Fumus with the pipe alone. |
| Have You Chosen… Wisely? | Sacrifice three save points to fill the silver bottle. |
| De Relictis | Read the entire Old Book. |
| SOLVE ET COAGULA | Complete Ending 1. |
| MAGNUM OPUS | Complete Ending 2. |
Optional interactions and collection cleanup
Repeated interactions deserve their own check: inspecting the photograph once is not its five-inspection condition, and ordinary conversation or movement is not the ten knocks at Iván’s door. Similarly, owning a book is not the same task as reading it completely. Compare the action you performed with the actual requirement before assuming an unlock failed.
Collection totals also matter. One film canister does not complete Devora’s set of three, and one star locker does not satisfy Stella Plena. The item index covers selected dependencies, including the Cold Chisel; it does not claim a verified location map for every locker or collectible.
For the silver bottle, the official puzzle guide describes the save-point tradeoff. Consider your remaining route before consuming useful recovery opportunities. This page does not invent a way to restore sacrificed points, promise that every save remains available afterward, or recommend deleting game files to reset a collection.
Combat challenges have different boundaries
| Goal type | Useful pre-check | Completion check |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple enemies together | Correct enemy type and required count | The single grouped action, not a cumulative total |
| Escape before detonation | Correct enemy and a route to another room | Room change occurs before the explosion |
| No-hit encounter | Goal selected before the fight | Encounter won without taking a hit |
| Boss-specific weapon | Correct weapon for the named opponent | That fight meets its restriction |
| Run-wide weapon | Restriction planned before the run | Entire completed attempt meets the wording |
The Two Stooges explicitly excludes Carnitos, while Valiant Little Taylor specifically requires three Carnitos in one strike. Combining the names because both involve several enemies would produce the wrong checklist. Use the exact enemy and action scope.
Wrench Queen, Iron and wax, and Exhaust Pipe likewise require different plans. The official descriptions do not document every forced-action exception or how every reload affects a run-wide restriction. Do not assume an unverified exception merely because it would make combining challenges convenient.
Hidden achievement spoilers
Reveal all six hidden names and conditions
| Achievement | Requirement (editorial wording) |
|---|---|
| Heart of Lead | Eliminate every Relicta ghost. |
| Bad Puppy | Have Sanguis destroy every mannequin. |
| Acrophobia | Be killed by a fall caused by Lacuna. |
| Devoured | Be swallowed by Hermes. |
| VIVUS EX MORTIBUS | Complete Ending 3. |
| RENUNTIATIO | Complete Ending 4. |
Heart of Lead is an all-Relicta objective, not the smaller kill threshold for MAGNUM OPUS. Acrophobia and Devoured concern specific deaths; neither substitutes for finishing a numbered ending. Bad Puppy names the actor that must destroy the mannequins, so it should not be rewritten as Julia destroying them herself.
Reveal ending cleanup and replay planning
Keep ending goals separate
The developer confirms that the two main endings can be obtained from an earlier save. Preserve a pre-choice state after obtaining Aurifer: no Relicta kills with it leads to Ending 1, while at least one selects Ending 2. Complete each finale separately and confirm each named result.
Ending 3 instead requires new-game preparation after both main outcomes, including early optional encounters. Ending 4 has a separate opening interaction described in its guide. Read all four endings before advancing past a route’s relevant checkpoint. The developer’s new-game instruction does not establish general item carryover or an official NG+ mode.
Use local notes without confusing them with Steam
Tick a goal after checking the game’s outcome and Steam account. Save, load and clear on the tracker are explicit local actions. A changed tick is not automatically a saved checklist, browser data is not a Steam cloud save, and another device will not receive these notes through a site account.
Clearing notes changes only this site’s list. It does not revoke earned achievements or repair an in-game condition. Keep hidden goals closed until their spoilers are welcome, and mark only the challenge actually verified rather than every related objective in the same category.
If an expected unlock is absent
First compare the exact condition, enemy, count and scope. Then distinguish a missed requirement from a completed action without a notification. Record the platform, displayed version and named achievement before seeking help.
The official PC 1.0.1 notes added retry handling for achievements that unlock simultaneously. This is a documented fix, not a diagnosis of every failure or proof of identical console patches. Check official updates and developer discussions, retain useful saves, and avoid sharing account credentials publicly. This page provides the complete official condition list, not a personally tested 100-percent route for every challenge.
