What the pages are for
Tenebris Somnia has 24 achievements. Each one has an official icon, a hidden or listed flag, a description, and a global unlock percent. Ten are highlighted, among them Heart of Lead, Bad Puppy, and Classics Never Die. The hidden set is Heart of Lead, Bad Puppy, Acrophobia, Devoured, VIVUS EX MORTIBUS, and RENUNTIATIO. Unlock rates move as more runs finish. The percents here are the launch-window figures.
You play Julia, performed by Clara Kovacic. The four endings are SOLVE ET COAGULA, MAGNUM OPUS, VIVUS EX MORTIBUS, and RENUNTIATIO. After the Aurifer, spare every Relicta and the last fight is Lacuna, on the way to SOLVE ET COAGULA. Kill one Relicta and the last fight is Hermes, on the way to MAGNUM OPUS. How to reach endings 3 and 4 is still unknown. Those two stay hidden.
Eight creatures are named: Vorax, Sanguis, Carnitos, Obscuratus, Fumus, Lacuna, Hermes, and Relicta. Each achievement tells you what that creature asks you to do. No health, damage, or map coordinates are known for them.
Twenty-five puzzles run from the door puzzle in Ivan’s apartment through the Desiderium finale. The first nineteen are in Ivan’s building, and the last six are in Desiderium. Along the way you meet the TV remote, the film canisters, and, in Desiderium, the green candle. Solution steps are written up in the Gamer Social Club walkthrough.

The iron pipe, the wrench, Lavendoleum, and the silver bottle are run constraints. Classics Never Die is picking up the iron pipe. Wrench Queen is a full run with only the wrench. Iron and wax is Obscuratus with only the wrench. Exhaust Pipe is Fumus with only the pipe. One More For The Road is drinking Lavendoleum at full health. Have You Chosen... Wisely? is filling the silver bottle by removing three save points.
