They'll Tell Stories About This

Unlock the 'They'll Tell Stories About This' achievement in Outward by completing a faction quest line without being defeated. Follow these tips for survival!

Alright, so you want to snag that 'They'll Tell Stories About This' achievement in Outward? It's all about completing one of the major faction quest lines – either the Blue Chamber Collective, the Heroic Kingdom of Levant, or the Holy Mission of Elatt – without ever falling in battle. Sounds tough, right? Don't worry, I've got your back. Here are some key things to keep in mind to make sure you don't end up eating dirt.

The absolute best way to avoid a game over is to stick to the plan. Seriously, focus on the main faction quest you've chosen. Don't get sidetracked by every shiny side quest you see. Those can easily lead you into a fight way over your head, and we definitely don't want that if we're aiming for zero deaths.

Always be prepared. This means keeping your inventory stocked. Make sure you've got plenty of potions and food on hand at all times. You never know when you'll need a quick heal or a stamina boost.

Gear up smart. Your clothing and armor choices are crucial. Heading into the scorching Abrassar desert? You'll want light gear with high heat resistance, like the Pathfinder or Entomber sets. Chilling in the snowy Chersonese? Bundle up with warm clothes such as the Ammolite or Black Fur sets. Dressing for the climate can literally save your life.

Hydration is key, especially in the desert. Always carry a full Waterskin with you when you're exploring Abrassar.

Low on supplies but not on health? If you're in a pinch and don't want to burn through your precious potions or food, just find a safe spot and rest for a few hours. It's a great way to recover both health and stamina without using up valuable resources.

Choose your battles carefully. Don't bite off more than you can chew. If you see a mob of enemies that looks too tough, or you're just outnumbered, don't risk it. It's way better to retreat, lose them, and rest up. Here's a cool trick: when you come back later, those enemies will usually still have the same low health you left them with. This lets you chip away at tough foes over time, resting between attacks. It's a patient strategy, but it works wonders for survival.
