There are 106 titles in Culdcept BEGINS, and most of them are earned by collecting a specific set of cards four times over rather than by finishing something. The shortest route is to work through the four tables below in order: the first eight are story milestones, the next 26 need a full set of four copies each, the eight "at least one of each" titles need a complete element, and the remaining 64 are combat, economy and match-condition achievements you unlock by playing. Two titles stay invisible until you beat Chapter 16, two exist only on Nintendo Switch 2, and 14 of them are also Steam achievements under Valve's own names — the 15th Valve entry, BEGINS, is the completion marker.

These eight are the cheapest wins in the list. Four of them come from the main quest chapters, one needs every Side Story, one needs every level-1 challenge quest, and two are yours from the first minute.

Ruler of the ForestObtain four copies each of Old Willow, Mandrake, Green Mold, Woodfolk and Angostura.
Scroll MeisterObtain four copies each of Tearing Halo, Hell Blaze, Nuclear Fusion and Mind Shock.

Every one of these asks for four copies of each named card, so a full 400-card set is what unlocks this half of the list. Two of them are special: Abyssal High Priest and Assassin from the Abyss do not appear at all until you have beaten Chapter 16, so they cannot be chased early.

The eight "at least one of each" titles

TitleUnlock condition
Fire God's BlessingObtain at least one of every Fire creature, excluding Rarity E cards.
Water God's BlessingObtain at least one of every Water creature, excluding Rarity E cards.
Earth God's BlessingObtain at least one of every Earth creature, excluding Rarity E cards.
Air God's BlessingObtain at least one of every Air creature, excluding Rarity E cards.
King of the InanimateObtain at least one of every Neutral creature, excluding Rarity E cards.
The Creator's BlessingObtain at least one of every card, excluding Rarity E cards.
All IncantationsObtain at least one of every Spell card, excluding Rarity E cards.
Item CollectorObtain at least one of every Item card, excluding Rarity E cards.

These six collection-style titles and the two card-type titles all say excluding Rarity E cards. That is not an oversight — the Extra cards, all twelve of them, are deliberately outside these titles. The card rarity page lists those twelve Extra cards, and the full 400-card list has every card you need to pick up for them.

These are the ones you unlock by playing rather than by collecting, and they are also the part of the list that needs a second playthrough to finish cleanly. They split into five rough groups: how much you have collected (43-45), how much you have fought (46-51), how you fight (52-67), how you win and what you hold (68-105), and the two GameShare titles that only exist on Switch 2 (105-106).

The 15 Steam achievements

Valve's achievement list for the game has 15 entries, and 14 of them are the same unlocks as titles above, under Valve's own wording. None of the 15 is hidden, so they all show up in your Steam list.

The fifteenth achievement, BEGINS, fires only when every other achievement is unlocked, so it is the completion marker rather than a title.

The Rarity E exclusions carry over to Steam. "King of the Inanimate", the four God's Blessings, "The Creator's Blessing", "One Who Knows All Incantations" and "Item Collector" all exclude Rarity E cards on Steam as well, so the Extra cards will never tick those boxes off for you.

What is still unconfirmed

  • No public source gives the in-game screen where the title list lives, so check your own progress list after Chapter 16 to confirm the two hidden titles actually appear.
  • The two GameShare titles cannot be earned on Steam at all, because GameShare is a Switch 2 feature.

Where to go next

The chapter guide sets out the campaign, the card list is the reference for every card named above, and the card rarity page explains the tiers and the Extra cards that sit outside these titles.
