Order Automatica achievements
Nineteen trophies. Nine of them are just finishing the three ranks three times.
Order Automatica ships 19 Steam achievements (and a matching 1,000 Gamerscore set on Xbox). This page is a tracker and a shop hint, not a cheat sheet that replaces Codex. Names below come from the public Xbox / TrueAchievements list and the Steam store. If your client shows a different subtitle, believe the client.
The set splits cleanly: nine rank-clear trophies, then a handful of shop-skill trophies, then completion and arena.
Rank degrees (nine trophies)
Each of Initiate, Penitent, and Adept has First, Second, and Third Degree.
- Initiate Of The First / Second / Third Degree — total or honorable victory in that degree.
- Penitent Of The First / Second / Third Degree — same ladder, harder enemies and more Curses.
- Adept Of The First / Second / Third Degree — the expensive shop. Random draws stop being free.
Public listings disagree slightly on wording (“Total Victory” versus the demo’s “Honorable Victory”). In-game, an honorable victory is the one that unlocks Codex pages and offers endless mode. Play the ranks walkthrough instead of grinding a single degree ten times with a broken board.
These nine are the bulk of the 19. If you finish Adept 3 you already own half the list.
Shop-skill trophies (confirmed public names)
Looking For Something — Draw Again three times in one preparation. That is an Essence dump. Do it on an Initiate shop when you are already winning, not on Adept when candles are thin. Three rerolls means you are not merging. See shop, Distill, and merge.
Hoarder of Essence — accrue 15 or more Essence. Pig, sell-bonus Indulgences, and leftover orbs all count. The trap is hoarding into End Preparation: unused Essence vanishes. Hit 15, then spend. Pig’s level-up trigger is the clean engine (unit tier list).
Cell Effector — buy three cell effects in one preparation. That is a stamp spree, not a build. Use it when you have a tank on a defense tile and two other stamps that match occupants. The cell effects guide explains why three random stamps usually waste holes your Hermit needs.
Strategic Sacrifice — discard a unit from your grid that has two items equipped. Discard is a button with a payoff if you own Disposable or similar. Equip two relics, then Discard. Do not do this to your only cell-1 tank in Adept.
Experimental Gains — listed on the Steam store’s achievement strip. Treat it as a “do the weird Distill / shop-phase death once” card until your Codex prints the exact requirement. Poison-killing an Upon Death unit in preparation is the usual experiment.
Completion and arena
Knower Of Chaos — public Xbox listing: 100% complete. Fill the Codex tabs (Units, Items, Indulgences, +/− Cell Effects, Enemies, Curses). Play ranks, take honorable victories, stop skipping the Enemies tab. This is a collection trophy, not a hidden boss.
Serpent’s Lesson — defeat the Golden One once in Serpent’s Arena. That mode sits on the tarot select next to Initiate / Penitent / Adept. It is a named encounter, not a daily. Bring a finished sentence from synergy builds, not a random full grid.
The remaining names on the 19-count list are in your Codex and on the Steam overlay. We do not invent the last few titles from a cropped screenshot. When a patch adds a 20th achievement, updates will log it.
A sane order to hunt them
- Play Initiate 1–3 properly. That is three trophies and the tutorial you skipped.
- Learn cell numbers in grid and positioning.
- Knock Looking For Something and Cell Effector on a fat Initiate shop so you do not brick Penitent.
- Climb Penitent and Adept for the next six rank trophies.
- Hoarder of Essence on a Pig shop.
- Strategic Sacrifice when Disposable or a two-item body is actually expendable.
- Serpent’s Arena after you have a lane, not before.
- Knower Of Chaos last — it is the Codex grind.
What is not an achievement
There are no daily login codes. There is no cooperative trophy. There is no “play with a friend” card. The game is single-player. If a third-party list shows multiplayer language, it is the wrong game.
Steam Cloud saves the progress. Switching from the demo to 1.00 does not always carry demo trophies; the demo had a shorter 10-achievement Xbox set. Play 1.00 for the 19.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for the current ritual.
How many Order Automatica achievements are there?
19 on Steam at launch, matching a 1,000 Gamerscore Xbox set. The demo used a shorter list.
Do I need to 100% the Codex for every trophy?
Only Knower Of Chaos is the collection card. The nine degree trophies are just rank clears.
Is Looking For Something safe on Adept?
Usually no. Three Draw Agains cost the Essence you need for a body. Do it on Initiate.
Does the demo unlock the full 19?
No. Play the 1.00 build. See demo vs full.
