Beholder Conductor achievements guide

Beholder: Conductor ships 44 Steam achievements — roughly ~12h 100% for a full clear on PC or Mac. This Beholder Conductor achievements guide lists every unlock, flags one-time missable choices, and groups them so you can plan multiple saves instead of guessing mid-run.

Achievements are not a single checklist run. Cat care, Louise Manishek forks, poker-night violence, and the six ending routes pull in opposite directions. Use the tables below as your master index, then cross-read the best ending guide before a Que Será Será attempt. Verified July 22, 2026 · Alawar · Steam.

Beholder Conductor 100 percent — multi-save plan

A single loyalist playthrough unlocks most story badges automatically, but Beholder Conductor 100 percent requires deliberate forks. The game never warns you when a dialogue line permanently closes an achievement — only a manual save or a second run recovers it.

Do01Manual-save before Louise pastries, poker night, and promotion
Do02Peek every restroom once for Caught in 4K
Do03Track cat supplies before Helmer Suburbs repair stop
Do04Keep ending achievements for dedicated saves

What one run cannot cover

You cannot keep the cat for Stowaway / Machineries of Joy and also earn Stray on the same file. Louise Manishek offers three mutually exclusive outcomes (Love Will Tear Us Apart, The First Death is in the Heart, Real Darkness Has Love for a Face). Ummagumma requires Michelle's affair, which blocks Que Será Será on that save.

Snitches Get Stitches (zero reports or blackmail) fights almost every authority-farming quest. Treat it as an isolated challenge run on Intern difficulty after you understand ticket and search rules from the beginner guide.

Suggested rotation

Run A — foundation: Bart tutorial, promotion (Nova Express), plane shelling (Slaughterhouse-Five), Henry Colt murder scene (Murder on the Orient Express), smuggling return (The Border is Just Another Line to Cross), and a clean Intern finish for Half Measures.

Run B — passengers & secrets: Manishek fork, Pribula brothers (Armistice vs Fratricide), poker murder (Discard), Chantal poison (Revenge is a Dish Best Eaten), and Michelle's At Your Service chain.

Run C — cat + best ending: Adopt Jack, buy bowls/toy/litter, refuse Peter's rehoming, skip Ummagumma, swap Bart's gun (Sunrise, Parabellum), and finish Que Será Será — see best ending.

Run D — challenge badges: You're a Good Man, Winston Smith (no thefts), A Handshake is Available Upon Request (zero fines), and optionally Snitches Get Stitches.

Story achievements — main plot milestones

These Beholder Conductor achievements guide entries fire from mandatory story beats or single obvious actions early in the campaign. Few are missable if you listen to every Bart line and finish ministry promotions.

Achievement	Unlock condition	Missable?
Beginnings Are Such Delicate Times	Talk to Bart at the start and exhaust every training dialogue before taking the conductor post.	No
Goodbye Blue Monday	Complete Chef Tom's quest — ask around until you learn Louise Manishek's favorite dish.	No
Choose Life	When Peter asks for antidepressants, buy the expensive illegal supply (~$600), not the cheap batch.	Yes — cheap drugs fail the quest
Nova Express	Earn promotion to first-class conductor through ministry tasks and authority.	No
Murder on the Orient Express	Story beat — Henry Colt's dining-car murder during the blackout sequence.	No
Slaughterhouse-Five	Survive the aerial attack on the train.	No
Bend Sinister	Search the ambassador and companion luggage; discover the forbidden affair evidence.	Yes — if you skip VIP searches
Sunrise, Parabellum	Tell Bart about the affair so he sleeps; read his orders and replace his gun with the gold trophy pistol.	Yes — required for Que Será Será

Promotion gate

Nova Express is the mid-game pivot: first-class access opens VIP passengers, Bart's assassination plot, and Michelle's post-promotion scene. Rush reports early, but do not over-blackmail if you still need smuggling goodwill for The Border is Just Another Line to Cross.

Passenger achievements — NPC forks

Passenger tables are where most missable flags hide. Each row below is a fork — pick one branch per save.

Achievement	Unlock condition	Missable?
Love Will Tear Us Apart	Louise pastry quest → drug guards asleep → let Jacob and Louise escape when prompted.	Yes
The First Death is in the Heart	Same setup, but refuse escape without taking Louise's gun — she kills Winston.	Yes
Real Darkness Has Love for a Face	Take Louise's gun as payment, sedate guards, then refuse escape and shoot Louise.	Yes
Armistice	Pribula brothers: listen to both sides without agreeing; later Stanish reconciles in first class.	Yes
Tweedledum	Henry Colt's Werner job — plant contraband on Werner and file reports (industrialist path).	Yes
Tweedledee	After Werner's release, tell him Colt ordered the hit; plant items on Henry instead.	Yes
Uncut Gems	Return Rosa Wojciechowska's gold ruby brooch (from neighbor or Michelle's bag).	Yes
At Your Service	Complete Michelle's trio: bond halves, stolen brooch handoff, and King, Queen, Knave setup.	Yes
King, Queen, Knave	Gnevko's poker quest — recruit Michelle, Franz, and Peter, then report back.	Yes
Saint-Saens	VIP actor Kentaro: return his record, then convince him to perform in the cabaret car.	Yes
Minority Report	Reach Colt murder without placing Louise's gun in your cabin layout — arrested wrongly.	Yes

Search & report achievements

Inspection and conductor-console work feed this cluster. Several reward rule-breaking (bad tickets, peeping) while others demand a spotless ministry record.

Achievement	Unlock condition	Missable?
Caught in 4K	Peek through a restroom keyhole at any passenger.	Yes — anytime
The Ticket That Exploded	Stamp approve on a ticket with a visible error you choose to ignore.	Yes
N6655321	First-class rowdies in car seven — get them arrested (guards, Peter plant, or three planted reports).	Yes
387.44M	Same rowdies — ask Michelle for help (do not invite her to Gnevko's poker first).	Yes
The Border is Just Another Line to Cross	Franz smuggling — keep package until border, return to Franz unreported.	Yes
Snitches Get Stitches	Finish the game with zero misconduct reports and zero blackmail.	Yes — whole-run
A Handshake is Available Upon Request	Finish with no fines: late train, bad search, empty compartment, ticket mistakes, or bad reports.	Yes — whole-run
You're a Good Man, Winston Smith	Complete without stealing a single item from luggage.	Yes — whole-run

Rowdy youth fork

The car-seven troublemakers split N6655321 (hard arrest) and 387.44M (Michelle soft ejection). Inviting Michelle to poker before this scene locks you out of her help line — recruit Peter and Franz only for the card quest first if you want 387.44M.

Cat achievements — Jack the stowaway

The ginger cat is an authority tax but gates the best ending. Four achievements orbit adoption, supplies, and whether Peter takes Jack at a station stop.

Achievement	Unlock condition	Missable?
Stowaway	At the breakdown stop (Helmer Suburbs), pick up the stray cat and keep it.	Yes — refuse = Stray
Stray	At the first major cat offer, decline to adopt.	Yes — opposite of Stowaway
Machineries of Joy	Buy bowls, litter box, and toy for the cat (trader + Nathan Kehler stock).	Yes — needs Stowaway
Let It Go	Give the cat to Peter when he resigns (see Passenger table).	Yes — blocks Que Será Será

Secret achievements — hidden Steam badges

Steam hides these icons until unlocked. Each appears once in this table — they involve dark choices or failure states you would never hit on a heroic run.

Achievement	Unlock condition	Missable?
Revenge is a Dish Best Eaten	Cat-blame Chantal arc → Northern Kraken quest → pour rat poison instead of wine.	Yes — Steam hidden
Fratricide	Agree with the first-class Pribula brother, refuse the other — fratricide follows.	Yes — Steam hidden
Strangelove	After Frida Carr's vodka quest, ask every follow-up about the bomb until dialogue exhausts.	Yes — Steam hidden
Radio Free Albumuth	Cheap drugs to rowdies → they shoot each other → blame Peter to Major Sargas.	Yes — Steam hidden
Ummagumma	After promotion, reject Michelle once, then accept the intimate scene (requires cat still aboard).	Yes — blocks Que Será Será
Discard	Poker night: ensure Gnevko holds the brooch (not Michelle); he loses and murders Michelle.	Yes — Steam hidden
The Part Where He Kills You	Take Franz's package straight to law enforcement in the last car, then tell Franz.	Yes — Steam hidden

Missable ending achievements — six finales

Each finale doubles as a Steam badge. Difficulty settings stack on top of route choices — Half Measures and Full Measure care about Intern vs Government Elite, while the other four care about gun swap, fuse key, affair, and cat state.

Achievement	Route summary	Missable?
Half Measures	Beat the game on Intern difficulty (any surviving finale).	Yes — difficulty pick at new game
Full Measure	Beat the game on Government Elite difficulty.	Yes — hardest mode
Que Será Será	Swap gun, turn fuse right, no Michelle affair, cat alive, family reunion.	Yes — see best ending
Big Iron	Swap gun, drag fuse slowly left, duel Major Sargas — Winston dies.	Yes — Steam hidden
Chikhai Bardo	Drag bomb quickly left — fuse explodes with you; city spared.	Yes — Steam hidden
Mars Aeternum	Do not swap gun; turn fuse left — provocation and nuclear detonation.	Yes — Steam hidden

Challenge achievements — discipline runs

Three achievements punish normal ministry playstyles. Schedule them after you know ticket fields, search order, and which quests force theft or reports.

You're a Good Man, Winston Smith

Never take items from passenger luggage — buying from traders is fine. Smuggling return quests still allow carrying Franz's package because it was entrusted, not stolen. Intern difficulty reduces authority pressure while you skip lucrative thefts.

A Handshake is Available Upon Request

Avoid every fine category: missed train timers, unfurnished compartments, botched searches, wrong ticket stamps, and inaccurate report fields. Pair with low-risk Intern runs and pre-read each passenger's documents twice.

Snitches Get Stitches

Zero reports and zero blackmail for the entire campaign — nearly incompatible with promotion rush. Accept that you will finish late and may need Government Elite knowledge without actually selecting it.
