Note, you cannot leave the game from beginning of act I to the end while working on these speedrun achievements. If you do, you will not get the achievement. It is recommended you do not attempt these achievements on your first playthrough, or you will be missing out on a lot of stuff (including other achievements)

Light Entertainment (10 Points)
Kill 666 enemies with a falling chandelier

When you are in dungeons, watch for the chandeliers on the ceiling. Time it properly, cut the rope, and the chandelier falls and kills the monsters it lands on. Not only you need this for the achievement, but this is a very fun and rewarding way of killing enemies. Easiest in normal with a mid level character. Make sure you cannot 1 shot the enemys before u hit the chandelier and you should be okay.

Among the Elite (10 Points)
Achievement Rewards: Banner Sigil x2, Banner Pattern x2 Banner Accent

Golden Packs (10 Points)
Achievement Rewards: Banner Sigil, Banner Accent
Kill 20 Treasure Goblins

Treasure goblins are tiny demons that you will come across, usually in dungeons. When you hit them, they drop gold, and if you kill them they drop more gold and potentially some cool items. If you don't kill them quickly, they create a portal and vanish. Kill 20 of these, and you will get this achievement (as well as a lot of gold and loot from killing the treasure goblin itself)

Getting this achievement unlocks the next level achievement:
