'Grain of Sand', 'Get the Toad', "A Story Worth a Millennia" and "Secret of Secrets' Achievements (Heavy Spoilers)

SpoilerRighteous : Game

I was wondering if anyone had any leads in regards to these?

'Grain of Sand' seems like you need to convince Areshkagal to become one of her own mindless minions? I seemed to get the start of it when I brought her her own mask from "The Secrets of Creation", but I stalled out.

No idea about the toad.

'Story Worth a Millennia' clearly involves getting all the elven pages to the Storyteller and freeing Kyno from Areshkagal during the 'Secrets of Creation', but I don't know how you were meant to unite them, all I got was Kyno passing on a fond memory to the Storyteller. Did you have to make the Storyteller work for Pharasma?

'Secret of Secrets" is "You found the secret sanctum in the Midnight Fane". I thought it might have been hidden in chapter 5, the Midnight Fane becomes cut off when you return but if you have a rope you can reexplore it when using the rope passed the site of the Playful Darkness, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Grain of Sand I got from doing nenio's last companion quest, which isnt related to the heart of mystery puzzle stuff.

I got the toad from a random map encounter in the last act, but I did not get the achievement. I think its just bugged.

Toad acievement was fixed in 1.0.5g (23rd Sep). Load the game where you have it, drop toad on the ground and pick it up, you'll get an acievement.

P.S. You get toad from random encounter >!in final act with Jubilost Narthropple, a character companion from Pathfinder: Kingmaker. There also was same item in kobolds' or mites' caves in Kingmaker.!<

What happened with Areshkagal? She made an offer to me that I become one of her grains of sand, I turned her down, she attacked me. The description is "You persuaded the mighty and wise Faceless Sphinx that she is nothing, just a grain of sand in the winds of time" which makes it sound like you can turn the tables.

Did you finish Nenio's companion quest line? It is hard to explain without spoiling stuff so...

Was there something after Enigma? Because I finished that area, found out Nenio used to be Oinen, one of Areshkagal's grains of sand, and then killed Areshkagal (after shooting her with a midnight bolt)

Oh then you might have missed it in the dialogue, when Areshkagal claim you are nothing, and tried you recruit you, you can claim that Areshkagal is also nothing, which triggers some cognitive error or something. Thats when you get the achievement.

'Story Worth a Millennia' - you have to save Kyno and tell Storyteller about it. For Pharasma I chose 'You should agree, but it'll be sad you won't see the end of crusade', wich made him stay until his natural death. Then I gave him another page, wich contained memroies of Areelu. I got the achievement when I picked up final page at Threshold.

After you learn about Kyno stealing Storytellers' fake journal from tower (should bring enough pages), you should complete Secrets of Creation quest and enter the Enigma (impossible before Act V). After dialog with sphynx, the spirit that asked you riddles appears - this is Kyno.

I'm not sure if you need to encounter him four times - one near each puzzle location as random encounter - and answer riddles correctly (pass some knowledge checks), though I did. Then during dialog with spynx, I chose to wait for the answer - also not sure if this is necessary.

After you released Kyno's spirit from Areshkagal's grasp, tell Storyteller about it.

Where did you find the last mask for nenio's nameless ruins quest? I didn't find it at all last playthrough.

TransientGlobalOP•

Which ones do you have? There's the one hidden in the Ivory Sanctum, there's one hidden in the Ivory Maze/whatever they call Baphomets realm in chapter 5, there's one hidden in Puluras fall and I can't remember where I found the first one.

Pretty sure I was missing the one in the ineluctable prison. Honestly, I probably picked it up and didn't even realize, it's crazy how long it takes to complete that quest.

Here is the location and puzzle solution to the mask in the Ineluctable prison

Grain of sand requires legend mythic when talking to Areshkagal before fighting

It does not Require it but it makes it way easier.
