If you’re aiming to 100% Styx Blades of Greed, you’ll quickly realize this isn’t a simple “play and unlock everything” game. Many achievements are tied to stealth mechanics, creative enemy interactions, hidden collectibles, and specific gameplay behaviors the game never directly explains.
This guide breaks everything down in a clear, player-friendly way — focusing on how to actually earn achievements efficiently rather than just listing them.
Combat & Enemy Interaction Achievements
These are earned through creative stealth gameplay and combat experimentation.
Ambush & Stealth Kills
KUKU!
Attack enemies 10 times while hiding inside a stash like a chest or closet.
The easiest way is ambushing armored enemies since they survive longer, giving you multiple chances.
I Can’t Be Seen
Stay hidden in a stash while enemies search nearby.
Trigger an alarm, hide immediately, and activate invisibility while they investigate.
That’s Not Me
Make enemies believe they eliminated you.
Aggro enemies, create a clone, then escape while they destroy it.

Once you start treating each mission as a puzzle instead of a combat encounter, achievement hunting becomes much easier and far more enjoyable.
