Defeat the Emerald Flame.
Requires1
This one is hidden in game: Valheim does not show its condition until you have earned it.
Fader is a Combat achievement, and the game checks 1 separate things before it unlocks — 1 of them have a page of their own, linked above. The one-line description Valheim shows you does not list any of them, which is why a long achievement can feel like it is not tracking: it is, against the list above.

How to get Fader
How do you unlock Fader in Valheim?
By satisfying all 1 conditions listed above. 1 of them have their own page, so you can work through them one at a time.
Do you need a fresh world for Fader?
Not on its own. Progress is tracked per character rather than per world, so anything you have already done in another world still counts towards it.
Does world difficulty matter for Fader?
No. Fader is set to accept any difficulty, like almost every achievement in the game — only three carry a world-difficulty requirement. Whatever settings your world was created with, this one can still be earned.
Why was Fader hidden until I earned it?
It is flagged secret, so the game shows neither its name nor its condition until it fires. That is a presentation choice rather than a difficulty one: the requirement is the same whether you can see it or not, which is why it is written out in full on this page.
What do you get for Fader?
Nothing, mechanically. There is no reward field on an achievement anywhere in the game: it holds an icon, its conditions, a difficulty requirement and a flag saying whether it has fired. No item, no power, no recipe. They are a record of what you have done, not a progression system.
