Dead by Daylight 100% Achievement Guide
Short answer
An achievement guide for Dead by Daylight, written by a mediocre player who nevertheless has all the achievements. Features advice for the harder achievements, with a focus on the Adepts.

Introduction
I am not a good Dead by Daylight player. I am willing to concede this. I have just over 3.3k hours and usually play a few rounds every other day after work and school WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE IT, OKAY I'M STREAMING NOW, YOU FIGURE IT OUT. However, I make it a point to get all of the achievements with each new update, and have been consistent in doing so. Why do it? No idea. Some people just have that completionist itch. If you're here, maybe you do, too.
This guide was primarily made because it seemed another one did not exist. People frequently post on Reddit asking "How the f*** do I get this achievement" (usually referring to Evil Incarnate) and people come up with a slew of good advice, but no guide to refer to. If this guide can be that guide, great. If not, maybe it will inspire someone to make a better one.
This guide is being written from the perspective of a mediocre player who only does solo queue. Much of this guide will be easier if you have more experience than me or run a SWF, but I am not writing for those people. These are people who are playing for completion (sweet, worthless completion) rather than mechanical mastery. Look elsewhere to learn how to do Blight's hug tech.
A few notes: this guide will be referring to PC achievements. Console achievements may have different numbers for their achievements, but as far as I can tell those numbers are universally lower: giving advice to someone to snag 100 people out of Trapper's traps should still apply to people looking to snag 10. The exception appears to be the Playstation DBD's version of Skilled Huntress, which requires 100 downs with hatchets at long range. God help you guys.
I will try to keep this guide up to date. I have seen three (!) major changes to how killer adepts function during my time playing DBD. If they change again, I will modify it again.
I got all of my survivor adepts in solo queue, and my killer adepts prior to the rank rework were all done at Iridescent 1. Survivor adepts will be written from the perspective of solo queue, while killer adepts will be written in the current iteration of DBD, where you "just" need a 4k while using only three perks.
The characters Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler, and the Demogorgon have been taken off the Steam store and their achievements have been removed. While I did do all of their adepts back in the day, I will not be including them, as they no longer exist. They're back, baby! Their achievements still seem to be gone, but I'll do a write up anyway. The Cenobite is gone ... RIP. Michael Myers and Laurie Strode are also gone, which is very surprising. Taking content out of this guide always feels tragic, especially since we know those achievements are gone for good.
If it seems like there are far too many sections, I agree, but unfortunately there is an 8000 character limit per section. So here we are.
This guide is being written moreso for my own amusement and edification than actually helping anyone. You have been warned.
The current guide is written for the patch 10.1.1. Feel free to point out things that need changing/updating in the comments because it saves me time trying to track down random changes I just remembered I needed to include. Believe me, that happens often.
Achievement Difficulty Table
Inevitable: The player will gain this achievement if they just keep playing the game normally. These are generally milestone achievements and are only being included in this guide for the sake of completion. No Adept Achievement will fall under this category.
Easy: Generally achievable within a single match if focused on, or is easy to achieve but lengthy/tedious. If the latter, I will include tips on how to speed up accomplishment.
Normal: Achievable within a few games if focused on, or can be farmed for with survivors.
Hard: Cannot be farmed for with survivors. Has specific fulfillment conditions that make it difficult to achieve, or may require multiple games to achieve. Frequently requires specific loadouts or offerings.
Very Hard: The bastards. Cannot be farmed for with survivors. Has very specific fulfillment conditions, or may take multiple games to achieve with no guarantee of progress on any one game, or both. Nearly always requires specific loadouts or offerings. No Adepts will be of this difficulty, and you should be thankful.
General Achievements
Bloody Millionaire
Accumulate 1,000,000 bloodpoints. Note that this is cumulative, so you don't even need to save BP. You'll get this pretty quickly.
Getting the Hang of it
Raise your grade for the first time on survivor or killer. Even in the dankest depths of solo queue at low MMR, you should be able to raise your grade from Ash to Bronze just by consistently unhooking and doing gens. Keep at it!
Happy Holidays
Open 100 mystery boxes or winter gifts. Mystery boxes have been removed from the bloodweb for being ♥♥♥♥, so you will need to wait until a holiday event for boxes to fill the bloodweb. Very easy to get once they are available.
I, II, III, III-50
Raise your prestige level to I, II, III, and III-50. Very easy to do nowadays, mercifully. Just pick a killer or survivor you like and dump all your bloodpoints into them until you get their achievement. Should take around 7,000,000 BP or so.
It Wakes -
Raise a character to level 10. By virtue of playing the game, either survivor or killer, you will get this achievement. Just don't forget to level up between matches! If they are giving out free bloodpoints at the time you start playing, you might even get this achievement without playing a single match of DBD!
Not Half Bad
Raise any character to level 25. You'll get this pretty quickly, especially since you will want the juicy perk slots you get at 5, 10, and 15. Just push a little further...
Skillful
Purchase a Tier 3 perk from the bloodweb. Just grab a general perk or one of the killer's specific perks while on that killer/survivor (such as Agitation on Trapper.) You want to level perks to level 3 as fast as possible anyway. I recommend picking a killer or survivor you know you will use other perks on - Meg and Hillbilly are good candidates for early leveling, before you've bought any DLC.
Zealous -
Exceed 8000 bloodpoints in any category by the end of a match. The current bloodpoint cap is actually 10,000, which means this achievement is slightly outdated. You might not get this in your first few rounds of DBD, but you really should get this one without trying. If, for whatever reason, you are reading this guide and have not gotten this achievement yet, please leave a comment below, you unicorn. As far as getting this one easily, double up on a generator with another survivor while using Dwight Fairfield's perk, "Prove Thyself," and you should max your objectives category within about a generator and a half.
Hidden Achievements
These achievements will not show up on the achievement list, but they do exist. Being hidden, you cannot track progress on them, which is slightly irritating, but none of them are very hard.
Agonizing Escape
Leave a match in the Dying state. Hatch or exit gate works. This should happen naturally if a killer spares you, or you can force it by waiting at an exit gate and getting slapped out of the match.
Blood in your Mouth
Kill 25 survivors. Not sacrifice - kill. Bleeding them out doesn't count, either. Moris are the best go to, but Pyramid Head also offers a decent alternative in the form of his execution. Rancor and Devour Hope are decent secondaries. This one is irritating because you won't be able to see your progress, but just keep wasting survivors with moris and you'll get it eventually.
Blood on your Face
Kill all survivors in a single trial. Again, kill, not sacrifice. I recommend Pyramid Head or Jason for this one, alongside a suite of Rancor and Devour Hope, just to be sure. Alternatively, you could also just try for Evil Incarnate, which would fulfill this achievement's requirements as well. Up to you! This one is tricky since moris require every survivor to be hooked twice now, so you need to make sure you get an eight hook game. Yet another achievement ruined by people game ending on second hook. If you're concerned about moris taking too long and losing you gens, the Pig has a very quick mori as well as a potential alternative means of killing people through her RBTs. Bring Tampered Timer, but don't count on it as a guaranteed head pop...
Blood on your Hands
Kill your first survivor. Just bring a mori. Tunnel if you want.
Backdoor Escape
Escape a trial through the hatch. Bring a map or Left Behind if you're worried about finding it.
The Key to Escape
Escape a trial through a hatch with a key. Slightly trickier, since you need the killer to shut the hatch first. I advise bringing Blood Amber to track the killer, as well as Left Behind to make sure you know where the hatch is. Low Profile might also be a good call.
If the gens are done and people are leaving, hang back but out of the killer's sight, and then hunt down the hatch that way. Hopefully the killer has not gone AFK in a huff and is instead breaking ♥♥♥♥ for points.
Tanuki in the Fog
Find the hidden Tanuki. The Tanuki can only be found on either of the Yamaoka maps, so bring an offering. You can only find it on the edges of the maps, usually away from any vaults, pallets, totems, or generators - in other words, in a place you have no place being. It's a little hard to spot, so take it slow, and keep an eye out near the foot of trees. Once you spot it, crouch next to it for a second or two, and it should disappear in a puff of logic.
Note that only one player can find the Tanuki per match, so it would behoove you to try and find it quickly.
Sacrosanct
As the Judgement, send a survivor who taunted you into exile. This means someone who has gestured at you or teabagged during chase. Mercifully, there is a survivor-equivalent achievement and Judgement is shaping up to be a fairly rare killer, so there will be increasing amounts of incentive to teabag you. Survivors may require incentive, so go friendly and make sure you keep folks in chase when they start gesturing at you so they become heretics and you can exile them.
Sacrilege
Become a heretic by taunting the Judgement. The main difficulty is getting the Judgement to show up, with a secondary difficulty of not getting incinerated by a massive beam while you close the distance to teabag them. You have to become a heretic through taunting, so be cognizant of where she is throwing those beams. Once you're in chase, you'll need to teabag three times or so before the game recognizes you as a very naughty boy.
Survivor Achievements, Part 1
Apt Survivor
Start a trial with an offering and an item with two addons. Odds are, you have this already.
Bless You
Bless twenty hex totems. Note it says hex totems, not dull totems. This means that, not only do you need to bring a Boon Totem perk for every match until you get this achievement, you have to hope that the killer brings hexes, that you find them first, and that you have the time to veeeeeeeery sloooooowly bless them. God help you if they brought Hex: Thrill of the Hunt - if that is the case, blessing a hex totem will take about forty-eight seconds if all totems are intact.
This achievement is a pain because, if you are shooting for it, you need to bring a Boon each game, you have no control over what the killer brings, and when they do bring hexes, they tend to bring Thrill of the Hunt and slow your blessing speed to a crawl. Blessing hexes is also blatantly suboptimal gameplay due to the sizable time investment, and it gets even worse if the killer can force you to scream. If you are lucky, you might get a Plaything/Pentimento gamer and get a few points of progress. There is no trick to this achievement; it's a slog, and you may have to throw games. Sorry. At least it's not mechanically difficult.
