Maybe this is the place people can go to discuss the achievements they are missing, and those that have them can help them out! I'll start the ball rolling, im missing a few, but the two im mainly interested in are:

Parental Approval
Make Anne's father proud.

Ego Raccoonis
Give Valeri the rarest of runes.


Can anybody shed some light on these two?

No idea on Parental Approval.

As for Ego Raccoonis...

You get that as part of completing "Mind over Matter". For me it started by finding Bellegar's Coin on a corpse on such-and-such Lane. When I found the person looking for that, they gave me an item someone else wanted, and so on in a chain reaction of sorts. Eventually everyone got their item, including the Raccoon Rune for Valeri. You don't need to enter undead areas or dungeons to complete this quest/achievement. Oh, and in case you didn't realize: as the quest name suggests you can only do this by reading minds.

Parental Approval -
complete "Beauty and the Beast" toe the point where Anne has been rescued. Find her in Tom/Hansel/Laeniel's house. Read her mind, then talk to her and choose conversation options that say that her father Richard wouldn't approve of Tom, and convince her to dump him. This is ESPECIALLY glorious if you talked Tom into cutting off his finger for you.

Unless you have level 15 Mind Reading I suggest saving your game, reading the mind of a character that allows it, and if it's not something you want reload and try someone else. There are roughly six people involved in the quest and lots of people in the city can be read so yeah it's tedious, not to mention hard on your XP at low Mind Read levels.

Then again, maybe that's why FoV has respawning enemies; we can make up for lost XP due to reading minds.

Yep, thanks guys i finally unlocked the achievement. Theres *spoilers ahead*
Once you get the Bellegar coin (i forget where from) mind read and talk to the girl downstairs at the Circle of Trust in, and she'll give you the next thing you need to give to someone else. The healer upstairs in the Healer house is after a book, Casca outside is after something etc. Mind read everyone you come to in town and you'll eventually get the rune to give to Valeri. Thanks again for your help guys, much appreiciated.
