This Achievement guide is going to be structured a little differently than a usual Trophy or Achievement guide. For Hellblade 2, there are only 11 Achievements. 7 of them are unmissable story related Achievements. Two of them are tied to collectibles and the other 2 are miscellaneous. Every single one will be listed here in the order they come a long with all of the collectibles. All you have to do is follow this guide straight through and you will earn all 11 of the Achievements in a single playthrough. This can also be done on any difficulty.
The guide will be broken down into chapters and then sub chapters.
Collectibles
There are two different types of collectibles in Hellblade 2. There are 18 Lorestangir and 17 Hidden Faces. Anything that you miss during your playthrough of the game can be cleaned up via chapter select. The chapters are broken down into sub-chapters and those will be listed below.
Lorestangir are totem like structures found through out the game. When you find one, you need to hold either 
or 
while staring at it and you’ll zoom in on it. Hold it until the symbol on the totem lights up red. Once that happens, it will be marked as “collected.”
Hidden Faces are big stone faces that are blended into walls through out the game. When you find one, you need to hold either or while staring at it and you’ll zoom in on it. Hold it until the face disappears. Once that happens, a path will open up where the face was located. You will need to go down the newly opened path and interact with a small tree. You will need to once again hold either or while staring at the tree and it will then be marked as “collected.”
