Story Achievements

Early Exploration

A Stick!

10G – Found a stick

At the start of the game, enter the first room to the left of the staircase. Then, collect the stick and equip it.

A Sword!

10G – Found a sword

After reaching the east forest save point, you will find the sword in the first hero’s grave.

Ding

10G – Rang the Eastern Bell

From the East Forest save point, take the ladder up and follow the path through the guard tower. Next, take out the Guard Captain using dodge/attack combos. Don’t worry if you die after, the captain will not respawn. Then, continue ascending the tower and strike the bell with your sword to ring it and unlock the achievement.

Dong

10G – Rang the Western Bell

Before reaching the West Belltower, you will encounter the Garden Knight boss.

When the boss slams the sword to side, it will swing directly in front of it side-to-side. Immediately move/dodge away from the boss and hold block. If the boss aims the sword, hold block while strafing to the side and moving closer to the boss for a few hits after the attack. Lastly, when the guardian raises the sword, it will slam down 3 times. To avoid these hits, dodge left or right 3 times before moving in for a few hits.

If you’re having trouble, make sure you upgrade your stats at a nearby save point. Just walk up to the save point and press LB/L1 to bring up the inventory and offer the items in the bottom right corner. You can also get bonus damage on the guardian by collecting your body, causing an explosion.

You hear a strange hum

10G – Engaged a strange device

When you approach a large monolith, hold the A/X button for 3 seconds to pray. Praying will activate the monolith and open additional pathways. The first time this is done the achievement will unlock.

Forest

Back to the Top

Deep In The Forest

10G – Found the red key

The Siege Engine boss fight will take time and patience. It has a weak point in the front and the back (will do more damage). When you attack from the front, be ready to dodge melee and ranged attacks. Attack the Siege Engine from behind or use ranged attacks with the Fire Wand after the boss drops below 50%.

After it summons 3 fire minions, either take them out at range or plan to run/dodge when they come near you. Use the environment when possible for cover to heal. Once the boss is defeated, pick up the key and use it to collect the Red Key for the achievement. Lastly, head to the temple to turn in the key.

Library

High Above The Clouds

10G – Found the green key

Use your grapple tool to pull the Librarian in close for a few hits while it is stunned. Avoid all dark magic by dodge/rolling the projectiles and not standing in the flames. Clear out the minions after they are summoned. After the Librarian vanishes, be ready to move to the middle of the platform just after it slams down. Finish off the Librarian with the Fire Wand when it is low on health. Lastly, collect the Green Key to unlock the achievement and return it to the temple.

Underground

Back to the Top

At The Root of The World

10G – Found the blue key

Slowly walk into the Scavenger Boss area. Once you can lock onto the boss, do so and back up until you are on the far side of the bridge. Then shoot the boss with your Fire Wand to start the fight and drop the bridge. Block ranged attacks and wait for the boss to lunge forward. When he does, pull him into the pit to finish the fight. Lastly, collect the Blue Key to unlock the achievement and return it to the temple.

What now?

10G – Completed key collection

After collecting the third and final colored key and returning it to the temple, you will unlock this achievement.

Spirit Form

You Feel a Tingling…

10G – Earned the Cathedral’s Prize

You will need to complete a gauntlet of 6 fights in the basement of the Cathedral. I recommend starting with the toughest fight first and working down to the easiest. When you run low on potions, activate the Heart altar on the far right to replenish your stock.

Start with the Drone altar on the far left and use your Fire Wand to quickly shoot the Drones before they can gang up on you. Then, activate the Garden Knights (middle) and use your grapple tool to pull/stun the knights.

Next, fight the Skeletons by kiting them around the arena and pulling the large skeleton out of the pack to focus it down. After that, battle the Wizards while dodging their AOE ground attacks. With the Lizards, grapple the large ones to stun them. Lastly, clear out the knights by grappling/stunning the large and shielded knights.

Once the arena is completed, collect the Dash Crown and the achievement/trophy will pop.

Your Body is Restored

20G – Restored corporeal form

After completing the Cathedral and acquiring the Dash Crown, head to each of the Hero’s Graves. At each grave, pray to enter the ethereal world and restore each of your key stats.

Final Boss

Game Over

50G – Found your rightful place

Before collecting the last pages of the manual, go and defeat the final boss. If you do complete the manual first, this achievement will not be available during the current playthrough. However, if you fight the boss and get to the credits before completing the manual, you will unlock the achievement and have the option to Retry. Retry will let you jump back into the game and complete the manual.

Before engaging The Heir, make sure you have your Fire Wand and Ice Dagger equipped so you can do the ranged ice attack (pressing both at the same time). Fight the boss near the edges of the arena when able. When you need to heal, quickly roll away from the boss to give you enough space to heal before the boss closes the gap.

At the start, use the Fire Wand and Ice Dagger combo to freeze the boss and attack with your sword. Next, focus on dodging attacks and attacking while she is open. If you land enough consecutive attacks, the boss will drop to her knees and give you many free hits. Then, in phase 2 the boss will use attacks that drain your health. Be extra vigilant in not standing in the pink/black sludge.
