This one is hidden in game: Valheim does not show its condition until you have earned it.
The First of Many is a Milestones achievement that Valheim tracks with running counters rather than a checklist of things to find. The 1 counters above are the whole condition, each with the number it has to reach — figures the game keeps hidden until the achievement is already done. These are the grind achievements: they ask for time rather than planning, but knowing the target is most of the work.

How to get The First of Many
How do you unlock The First of Many in Valheim?
Valheim counts this one instead of listing it, so the 1 counters above are the whole condition, each with the exact number it has to reach. The game never shows you those numbers in advance; there is nothing else to plan for.
Do you need a fresh world for The First of Many?
No. Counter-based achievements follow your character, not the world, so progress carries across every world that character visits.
Does world difficulty matter for The First of Many?
No. The First of Many 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 The First of Many 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 The First of Many?
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.
