Origins: base-game achievement checklist
Fifty base-game achievements, plus the PlayStation platinum. DLC and Discovery Tour are in their own companion post. Spoilers in the story checklist.
I'd keep this beside the location guide rather than trying to memorize the whole thing. Mark them off as you go. The story handles a chunk of the list; the rest gives you specific things to work toward.
The story ones
These follow your main-quest progress. Finish the associated section rather than looking for a separate challenge.
1. First Steps: Finish Siwa's opening storyline.
2. I'm Just Getting Started: Finish Aya's introductory main quest.
3. The Sea: Finish the Pompeius Magnus naval mission.
4. The Scarab: Finish The Scarab's Lies.
5. The Hyena: Finish the main Hyena quest.
6. The Crocodile: Finish The Crocodile's Jaws.
7. The Lizard: Finish The Lizard's Face.
8. The Siege: Finish The Aftermath.
9. Wake Up!: Finish the story's dream sequence.

17. Ben-Hur: Win the first Hippodrome tournament overall; every individual race needn't be a win.
18. Road Rage: Ram an opposing chariot until it's destroyed during a Hippodrome race.
19. The Harder They Fall: Beat both Qetesh and Resheph in Uab Nome. Come back with strong equipment rather than forcing it underleveled.
20. Slasher: Bunch up three weak enemies and finish all three with one sweeping hit.
Combat and equipment checks (https://t.co/5ihQBUd2If).
21. The Arrow Whisperer: Use Enhanced Predator Bow for a guided kill beyond 60 metres.

Cleanup requirements and ability checks (https://t.co/vEosIuJAGu) · Platform requirements (https://t.co/q96uSOcauA). Vehicle categories corroborated against GamerGuides (https://t.co/eHMlqQNp72).
PlayStation: Earn Them All! Complete the base-game trophy set. DLC isn't required for the platinum. Platinum requirement (https://t.co/vEosIuJAGu).
That's the base list. The location guide needs to stay beside this one, because Old Habits is the part where “I've been there” and “I've finished everything there” can be two very different things.
Origins DLC achievement mini-guides
These cover the listed DLC achievements, not every collectible or quest in either expansion. Keep beside Origins, not after Odyssey.
The Hidden Ones: achievement checklist
For The Hidden Ones, I'd keep an eye on the small combat tasks while going through Sinai. That saves you from finishing the story and then having to go hunting for a zipline opportunity.
- What Time Is It? Jump from Arsinoe's sundial obelisk into the hay during the in-game 10 a.m.–noon window. The shadow shows the time.
- Zip It Off: Get three assassinations while using ziplines. Look for guards underneath before committing.
- Prison Break: Release twenty captive rebels. Ordinary civilians don't count.
- Team Play: Have Senu harass a guard, then kill that guard with a bow headshot during the distraction. Eagle Harass needs unlocking first.
- Walls of the Ruler: Finish the citadel's checklist: two captains, one commander, six treasures.
- Surgical Strikes: Finish the three target missions involving Tacito, Ptahmose, and Ampelius.
- New Recruits: Finish both Rise of Shaqilat and Shadows of the Scarab.
- The Greater Good: Complete the expansion's final main quest of that name.
Don't confuse finishing the story mission inside a fort with completing every objective on its location checklist.

The Curse of the Pharaohs: achievement checklist
This one has six achievements. I'd work through the story first, keep collecting materials, and leave the tougher cleanup until Bayek is properly leveled.
- Lift the Curse: Defeat Tutankhamun in the Afterlife as part of the expansion's story.
- Higher Power: Reach level 55. Keep doing the expansion's quests and location objectives if the main story hasn't taken you there.
- Dark Horse: After finishing the story, buy Eternal Maw from a stable. Set-Ma'at is a place to check; have 5,000 drachmas ready.
- Sting in the Tale: Fully finish all five Serqet locations. Finding them isn't enough; clear their listed objectives.
- Project Comet: Make a gear upgrade that consumes Shards of a Star. Collect the shards in the Afterlives and check the crafting requirements before spending them.
- Pyromaniac: Kill a mummy with fire. Make sure the fire finishes it rather than following up with a normal weapon hit.
For Serqet cleanup, the five locations are Spring of Serqet in Waset Desert, Serqet's Altar in Aaru, Serqet's Garden in Aten, Serqet's Chamber in Heb Sed, and Halls of Serqet in Duat.

Discovery Tour: separate achievement cleanup
Discovery Tour has three achievements of its own. This is the history-focused mode rather than another combat expansion.
- First Visit: Finish one guided tour.
- Archeologist: Finish all tours in the Daily Life category.
- Polymorph: Complete tours using at least five different playable characters. Swap characters between tours so you're working on this at the same time.
You don't need to clear every tour in every category just for these three. Keep the Daily Life checklist separate from your normal Bayek save's map cleanup.
