Path of Exile: 3.28 - "All Ears" & "No Stone Unturned" 2-in-1 Guide, Zone by Zone

What you need to know

To complete the "All Ears" and "No Stone Unturned" achievements, you will need to follow a specific order of actions and dialogue options. There are 484 different dialogues and 140 environmental lore items to discover. You should visit the zones in the same order as the guide to avoid missing necessary dialogue.

Step by step

1. Start by talking to Nessa, Bestel, and Tarkleigh in the correct order to unlock the initial dialogue options.
2. Clear the areas in the correct order, making sure to talk to the NPCs after each significant event or discovery.
3. In Act 2, do not kill or talk to the bandits until after triggering the Darkness, and always talk to Eramir after killing a bandit.
4. Remember to grab the Waypoint in the Chamber of Sins to save time later.
5. Visit the Fellshrine Ruins via the Crossroads and do not kill Kraityn yet.
6. After triggering the Darkness, deal with the bandits in the correct order, talking to Eramir after each one.
7. Keep track of the letters for the "No Stone Unturned" achievement by pressing H in-game and clicking on the letters until you have all 15.

Tips

• Pay close attention to the dialogue options, as missing one will require you to start over.
• Environmental lore items are more forgiving, and you can backtrack to them at any point in the game.
• Do not enter certain areas or kill specific enemies until you have triggered the necessary dialogue or events.
• Clearing one area sooner than another might lock you out of necessary dialogue, so follow the guide's order.
• The Vaal Side Areas do not spawn in Ruthless mode, making it impossible to get "No Stone Unturned" in that mode.
