Getting the No, I’m Not a Human Martyr achievement feels less like playing and more like fighting the game itself, I know. But if you’re a completionist, you will go through the grind and unlock it as well. And I will help you do it as easy as possible with today’s guide.
It’s one of the toughest character-related achievements you’ll grind through – it’s the RNG and timing that’ll test your patience. But it all seems easier when you know that everybody goes through similar pain, right?
Now, here’s everything you need to do to make it out alive (and sane) with that shiny achievement unlocked.
Martyr Achievement Requirements & Frustrations
To earn this achievement, you have to talk to the Teacher every single day until you unlock the final dialogue option:
“What do you suggest?” (or something like that).
Sounds simple, right? Nope. The game throws a pile of random events your way, and the Teacher herself can vanish, get replaced, or straight-up kicked out before you even get the chance.
And speaking of characters, another difficult part is knowing who’s a Visitor and who’s a human in-game. For that, I have created another guide I recommend reading: No, I’m Not a Human Signs to Spot Visitors.
Now, back to the achievement, here’s what makes it so difficult and frustrating:
- The Teacher only shows up in the second half of the game.
- You can meet her at night before the cultists, but if she’s sitting on the couch, she’ll be thrown out by them, and there’s no way you can stop it.
- Sometimes she gets replaced by another NPC completely. It’s all random!
- FEMA staff can take her away, too, so don’t hand in their “Notice” papers until she’s in your house!
For the latter, it’s good to know you can stack multiple “Notice” papers if you don’t let certain characters in right away. The thing you should do is never try to get a bribe twice in a row, but it’s acceptable, something like bribe, no bribe, bribe again and so on.
And since random “guests” can make your life hell, order food regularly once you get the cat. Keep that fluffball fed whenever the Teacher is around – it’s more important than you think.

How to Get the Achievement
The mission is to catch the Teacher right after the cultists, during the same night. If you miss that timing, you won’t have enough in-game days to complete her dialogue chain before the end.
Here’s what you should do, in this specific order:
1. Play normally until you get the cat.
2. Kill or avoid the Visitors whenever possible.
3. Accept bribes strategically, as mentioned above: take them, but delay letting people in and never take two in a row!
4. Keep an eye on your “friend in yellow” so you don’t get stuck alone with the Pale One.
5. When the ballerina with the cat shows up, let her in, take her out, and immediately buy two cans of cat food. Don’t feed the cat just yet, though!
6. Keep going until the night of the fire, making sure no guest kills more than one civilian. During this time, buy cat food whenever you can.
7. Before the night with the cultists, drink kombucha or just use the Save and Exit to Desktop trick I will detail below. Eventually, you will get the achievement.

The Trick: Save Scumming 101
You’ll want to save scum like your life depends on it, and it’s the only (or at least the easiest way) to go to get this achievement. Here’s what you need to do:
First, keep quitting without saving and continuing until the Teacher spawns the same night as the cultists. That’s the main thing you need to even have a shot at getting the Martyr Achievement in No, I’m Not a Human.
Once she’s finally in your house:
- Talk to her every single day.
- Feed the cat daily.
- Hand out “Notice” papers to other characters.
- Keep restocking cat food.
- Show eyes or hands to the Hunter, but only if you didn’t loot or drink energy drinks.
Eventually, the final dialogue option will pop up:
“What do you suggest?”
Pick it – and boom, the achievement unlocks!
After all that stress, you’ve done it! Achievement complete! You can finally relax with your cat, knowing you’ve survived one of the most annoying sequences in the game.
No fancy cutscene, no fireworks – just that little pop-up and the satisfaction of beating the system. Now go feed the cat. You’ve earned it. And focus on a new achievement you can unlock – one I also have a guide for, the “May Death Cleanse Us of Our Sins!” Achievement.
