Hello
I have previously (a decade ago) completed the original game so I personally didn’t mind skipping the most repetitive parts.
Note that you can’t get all these achievements in a single run, unless you use a mixture of cheating, cheesing, modding, shadowkeeper, reloading previous saves, clua commands and importing / exporting from MP->SP-MP.
So before anyone starts namecalling: Yes I cheated.
If you play by the rules, getting all the achievements will take at least 8 complete playthroughs of SOA and two TOB.
A lot of the achievements will only trigger on your main protagonist! So you can go ahead and treat Viconia real bad but you still wont get “worst day ever” from her
The achievements and descriptions are sorted from my list in steam, so it should be in the same order as your own.
Please tell me if there's something missing / wrong and I will address the issue asap.
(also this is the mandatory comment about English not being my native language and me being excused for making silly spelling errors).
Increase an attribute score to 25.
This one comes along as you play. Either by potions, crom faeyr or Draw Upon Holy Might
Untouchable
Have an Armor Class of -15 or lower.
This one comes along as you play. My swashbuckler had -25 on the last playthrough. You can equip gear and drink potions to speed it up.
Loremaster
Have a Lore skill of 100 or more.
As far as my calculations go, this can only be achieved if your main protagonist is either bard, mage or thief. Sword of the Balduran will help by adding 10%
Grand Master
Become a Grand Master.
Your main protagonist needs to be "fighter-class" to get the 5 pips in a weapon *****
Leave No Friend Behind
Finish the game without any party members dying.
This is for the entire play through of SOA. This achievement is based on party members never dying while in party. So if they leave party and get killed no worries. As long as they don't die in your party.
Thanks to @Heavyline for confirming this.
Sacrifices Must Be Made
Finish the game with a full party of dead allies.
Oddly enough I got this while fighting Abazigal in TOB. I guess the game just looks at “game completed 0/1” and “all party members dead 0/1”
Juggernaut
Reach 150 Hit Points.
This one comes along as you play and only works on the main protagonist. My fighter is around 262 HP at level 40. Again potions like Potion of Heroism might help.

Best Day Ever
Have Bless, Chant, and Luck active at the same time.
This only works on the main protagonist.
A cleric / mage can get you this. I bought the scroll of luck and had my sorcerer cast it.
Worst Day Ever

This only works on the main protagonist.
Disease: I used the Otyugh in Irenicus dungeon. There’s also one under the Copper Coronet.

Please note this guide will contain severe gamebreaking spoilers! I strongly advise you don’t read further if you haven’t completed the game!

Bards get +10 lore per level.
Mages and thieves get +3 lore per level.
All other classes get +1 lore per level.
And you also get bonuses (or penalties) for high (or low) intelligence and wisdom that stack with each other. For instance, a stat of 18 gives +10 lore, so if you have 18 intelligence and 18 wisdom that is +20 lore in addition to your lore gained from leveling up. A stat below 10 gives penalties to lore.

I can't sort the achievements in any other order, since it will mess searching and comparing up.
The best part is, it made me find some totally new content that I had missed on previous games. Like I would never have teamed up with Anomen, without these achievements.
The achievement did unlock. This achievement is based on party members never dying while in party. So if they leave party and get killed no worries. As long as they don't die in your party.
EDIT:
The guide is updated based on your information.
I'd also love to know whether Lord of Murder and Friend of Volo works.
Friend of Volo didn't trigger in my BG1:EE playthrough.
If anyone can either confirm or refute this, please leave a comment.
I have a question for BG2EE achievements. I have gotten every one of them EXCEPT "Took a Chance" which is the one where we go with Saemon out of Brynnlaw and end up with the sahuagin. I have tried multiple times to go through this and it won't pop for me. At first I thought it might be mods installed so I did a clean reinstall of the base game with nothing added, but it still didn't pop up. Has anyone else had difficulty getting this? Or have any ideas what globals the achievement is checking for? I'm not above using the save game editor to just change some globals to trigger it.
Thanks!
I don't remember if you get it after the pirate king makes his speech and you leave, or what. Anyway, play until after the narrator talks about it (and advances the chapter) to see if you get it. Hell, play it all the way until the Sahuagin City.
But I can confirm it does work.
EDIT:
I took the liberty of updating my guide according to your update on the Lord of Murderer and Volo achievement.
Else, all BG2EE achievements have unlocked for me some time between 2.0 and 2.2.
Would be great if these will be in GoG version too
Little disappointing, especially in the case of the NPC quests, as all the original NPCs have their achievements if you finish their quests. I'm surprised Beamdog would not give achievements to their own characters.
Out of curiosity, to these stack with one another?
