Hello again

For the benefit of all others who are struggling with the Sister of Mercy achievement I would like to post my discovery - at long last I have finally unlocked it. The problem is with this list of dialogue checks that has been copy pasted everywhere (see above) - I can guarantee that at least one of the checks is incorrect. This list is even posted on the wiki which is sad because it may well be the reason so many are missing the achievement.

More may even be incorrect, in that they actually reinforce her personality rather than contest it - but I did follow the list and do every check exactly as stated, saving only before the last couple I had left.

I then went to Hunter's edge, spoke to the Jarl to hear about Spinebreaker (Norok) from him so that Madora would speak about it - with the forgiving trait on both my characters and every single check done EXACTLY as per 'The List' - I went upstairs to confront Norok and hopefully finally get my last achievement..

And yet again Madora refused to forgive him. I then did a simple test and reloaded to just before the last check - specifically after killing a snow warden. The list says :

Hiberheim:

After killing a snow warden -> Anything dependent on cloud cover for survival is better put out of its misery, I say.

This is incorrect, I chose the other option instead then went back to Hunter's edge to try again and lo and behold, I got the achievement.

IN CONCLUSION : This famous list that is copied everywhere is exactly enough to complete the achievement IF you follow it to the letter but choose the other option for the snow warden check instead, and have the forgiving trait on both your characters. Also - I left just one check out of 'The List' because I didn't kill Victoria. So yes you can do it without killing Victoria as well.

But I still believe a couple more checks may be incorrect - for example I am guessing this check :

Luculla Forest:

After talking to Lawrence -> I thought the same; his fawning is more likely a symptom of fear than of respect.

may be incorrect since it seems you are agreeing with Madora - reinforcing her personality.

I hope this will raise some awareness and help others finally get this damn achievement. No offence to you romanius16 if this indeed is your list that everyone is copying - clearly most of the checks are correct otherwise I would not have got the achievement.
