From Bookworm to Busker

To get all achievements in BG3, you'll need to play through on the game's hardest difficulty

As of Patch 5, Baldur’s Gate 3 added one additional achievement for its new Honour Mode. It’s another playthrough standing between you and 100% completion, but the challenge sounds like an entertaining, punishing blast forcing you into a playstyle a little more loyal to old-school DnD. 

There are 54 total BG3 achievements, 55 trophies for those of you on PlayStation 5. Some of those you can easily grab at your leisure, while others may leave only a small window for completion. Regardless, here are all of the BG3 achievements and trophies, plus how they’re unlocked.
