Yes, Your Grace Missable Achievements and 100% Completion Guide

Reaching 100% achievement completion in Yes, Your Grace requires at least two full playthroughs. Because major narrative branches, trial verdicts, and vassal alliances are mutually exclusive, a single save file cannot satisfy every condition. To avoid missed milestones, plan one run around a benevolent, thorough investigation and a second run around ruthless, despotic choices.

Splitting the Two Playthroughs

Attempting to balance every competing interest on a single save locks out opposing narrative achievements. Separate your goals into two distinct campaigns:

• Run One (Just Sovereign): Focus on moral integrity, family preservation, and exhaustive investigation. Reject underworld alliances during weekly petitions, assign agents to inspect every crime scene, prioritize treasury funds to maintain castle stability, and visit family chambers weekly to keep all members alive and supported.
• Run Two (Ruthless Expedient): Focus on conflicting milestones locked behind despotic actions. Speed through repeated dialogue, issue harsh trial verdicts, make reckless military gambits, accept morally compromising lord proposals, and sacrifice peasant welfare to amass surplus gold and supplies.

Gathering All Royal Murder Clues

Unlocking the full trial-related achievements requires securing every physical clue surrounding the royal assassination before King Eryk convenes court. Missing a clue prevents an airtight prosecution, locking out the optimal verdict outcomes.

Do not deploy your agents on optional regional map missions during investigation weeks until they have swept Davern Castle. Once all clues are collected, speak with your Witch and General in the council room to determine the poison type. Interrogating suspects without forensic backing causes them to withhold testimony, permanently failing key dialogue triggers.

Castle Exploration and Missable Side Content

Advancing directly from the throne room to the next week bypasses critical family interactions and multi-part side quests. Always explore Davern Castle's corridors before ending a turn:

• Family Quarters: Visit Queen Aurelea and Eryk's daughters, Lorsulia, Asalia, and Cedani, each week. Help Cedani interact with her unusual pets and find hidden items around the castle to trigger specific character milestones. Support Aurelea and guide Asalia through personal dilemmas to prevent hidden family failure states.
• Recurring Petitioners: Certain eccentric visitors, such as inventors, bards, and playwrights, require multi-week investments. Denying them coin or assistance on their initial appearance terminates their questlines immediately, voiding their dedicated achievements for that run.

Managing Lord Demands and Faction Accolades

Earning faction-related achievements requires securing military pacts without causing internal collapse:

• Moral Compromises: Demanding vassals like Lord Grego and Lord Masha may ask to exploit local peasants or harvest forbidden timber. In your Just Sovereign run, refuse proposals that break criminal law or starve your population.
• Financial Upkeep: Never promise weekly financial stipends unless your treasury can maintain them alongside food reserves. Defaulting on a payment breaks the alliance and invalidates the allegiance achievement.
• Agent Diplomacy: When negotiating with hesitant lords, send the General or Hunter to resolve local disputes directly rather than paying expensive bribes.

Endgame Preparations and Defense Achievements

The final act requires specific military preparations depending on which achievements remain:

• Defensive Victory Achievements: Fully upgrade the castle gates, construct siege defenses, and stockpile tar and oil before the enemy forces reach Davern. Manning all three defensive lines ensures a clean defensive victory.
• Low-Resource Survival Achievements: Create a manual backup save before final battle preparations begin. From this split point, intentionally lower defenses, strip resources, and trigger desperate combat checks to complete low-garrison survival requirements without disrupting your primary completion file.
