FAQ: Where Winds Meet Achievements
Q: Are there any missable achievements?
A: Based on the list, most seem tied to core progression, collectibles, or repeatable combat. However, hidden achievements could potentially be missable if they are linked to a specific, one-time story decision. It is advised to manually save before major story junctions if you are concerned.

A: “Victory in the Abyss” (defeating The Void King in 60 seconds) is likely one of the most demanding, as it requires extreme combat optimization and skill. “The Hero is the Voice of the World” is the most time-consuming, as it requires every other trophy.
Q: Do I need to max out multiple Martial Styles?
A: The “Skill at Hand” achievement only requires one Martial Style to be raised to Level 30. However, experimenting with different styles may be necessary to conquer all combat challenges.
Q: How do I find the Dark Surge stories?
