If you’re looking to unlock every achievement in Super Dark Deception, this guide is for you. We’ll provide tips and tricks to help you conquer the game and earn all the achievements. Keep reading to become a Super Dark Deception master!
Introduction
Need help finding any achievements in Super Dark Deception? Well, you’ve come to the right place! There are achievements scattered throughout the entirety of the game, so let’s break them all down.
There are no missable achievements in this game. REPLAY mode (third option on the left in the main menu), will be your way of netting any missed achievements during the main story. Fortunately, this works for obtaining every single one tied to the campaign.
NOTE: While Super Dark Deception keeps getting updates featuring new levels and content, this guide will be incomplete and a work in progress until the game is finalized. It currently goes up to the “Stranger Sewers” level (end of Chapter 1). As such, this guide will be constantly changing until then. When the next chapter drops, the contents of this guide will change constantly as new information becomes available.
The following achievements are also unobtainable right now due to bugs:
- Eyesore
- Sixth Sense
- Competent Mortal
- A Good Listener
- Death From Above
And some players have had issues getting certain achievements that are indeed possible. If you think you met the criteria (and it isn’t on the above list), try closing and reopening the game and it should pop up during the intro.
Chapter 1: Into Madness
Eyesore (Unobtainable)
Agitate Malak’s eye.
At any point after completing Monkey Business in the main story, head up the stairs in Bierce’s Ballroom to Malak’s door. Run around in front of his eye until you hear both of his voicelines: “I see.” & “I’m going to enjoy watching you suffer.”
Sixth Sense (Unobtainable)
Find a secret room.
Every stage has at the very least two secret rooms to discover. Refer to any of the S-Rank achievements for specific locations, as finding secrets is a required component of S-Ranking levels.
Sacrificial Mortal
Die 10 times.
Chances are you’ll be dying a lot in this game, and you’re rewarded after ten times. Not much else to say here other than that the giant ring altar in the Archive Room’s center also displays your death toll as a game stat.
No Turning Back
Complete Chapter 1.
Completing Stranger Sewers marks the end of the game’s first chapter. Whence you’re back in the ballroom and see the Crazy Carnevil portal activate, Chapter 2 begins.
Competent Mortal (Unobtainable)
Obtain all Chapter 1 achievements.
All of the achievements in this guide currently comprise the Chapter 1 achievements, so start hunting for them!
Monkey Business
Service, Please!
Ring the service bell 10 times.
For those who played the original Dark Deception, you’ll recognize this one. At the very start of the level, head up and interact with the service bell. After ten rings, the Monkey cutout should appear, prompting the achievement to unlock.
Monkey King
Earn an S-Rank in Monkey Business.
The description says it all. A strong piece of advice is to use stereo headphones, which can help clue you in on the locations of monsters and how close they are.
Secrets #1 & #2 (Zone Gameplay):
Both of this stage’s secrets are hidden behind unlocked doors in the hotel. Simply interact with the doors for the correct rooms, and you’ll be allowed in to collect what you seek. Unlike the original Dark Deception, rooms housing secret files aren’t always on the minimap. Consequently, I’ve provided map guides for each stage that show the exact locations for every secret in the mazes.
Elementary Evil
Top Student
Earn an S-Rank in Monkey Business.
Beating Agatha at her own game with an S Rank will net you this achievement. With this being the first level with two zones, it’s important to note that there is double the number of bonus shards and secret files to be found.
Deadly Decadence
Death From Above (Unobtainable)
Killed by one of Titan Watcher’s axes.
The first level has two secret rooms you can find. Use the tablet map to help you search. Their locations are shown below. Collect either of the two files for the achievement.
Fancy Lad
Earn an S-Rank in Deadly Decadence.
Besting the Gold Watchers with excellence is not an easy task, but ultimately a satisfying one to complete. Traps are the newest addition to this stage, and failure to be keep careful with them will cost you dearly.
WIP
Stranger Sewers
Dirty Dancing
Dance with a hidden group of Dread Duckies.
Check further down on the guide for the location of the third secret, and ride down the lift to the lower level. You’ll see some dancing Dread Duckies to keep you company (they are harmless). Idle in front of them for 10 seconds to join dance alongside them. It’s also worth noting that you can only do this achievement while playing as Doug Houser.
Sewer Surfer
Earn an S-Rank in Stranger Sewers.
As the game progresses, enemies evolve beyond simple chasers. The duckies are the first of many monsters with the power to stun you from a distance, and level hazards (such as water that slows players down) are becoming more present.
Things to Keep In Mind:
- Murder Monkeys have no unique ability and are quite slow
- They will know your location if they’re within a certain range instead of patrolling
- Three will be active during the main zone gameplay
- Chef Monkeys are slightly faster but otherwise they’re the same
- During the boss section, two are at the altar and must be lured while one wanders the maze
- Secret rooms can be used as short break areas (monsters usually can’t enter them)
- The stun orb and reveal shard can be used at any time, including the boss encounter
Secret #1 (Before Zone 1):
At the beginning of the stage, head up and raise the wall. After climbing the ladder, you’ll be face-to-face with the first secret file.
Secrets #2 & #3 (During Zone 2):
The remaining secrets are found through keypads scattered in the sewers. Interact with them to ride down the lifts and collect the files.
Archive Room
Body Swap
Change your character in the Archive Room.
Before you even begin Chapter 1, you’re able to change your character skin in the Archive Room. The bonus tab features Mera, and toggling her secures you this achievement. Obviously this works for every possible playable character, Mera is just the earliest option and the only one available before playing any stages.
Thrifty Shopper
Buy your first item from the Archive Room vending machine.
While you can access the Archive Room and the vending machine right out of the gate, soul shards are the currency. You need to complete at least Monkey Business to have enough for a purchase.
A Good Listener (Unobtainable)
Listen to a Bierce diary entry in the Archive Room.
Bierce’s diaries are rewards for S-Ranking stages- there’s one per level. After S-Ranking a stage (refer to any of the S-Rank achievements for specifics on doing this; easiest is “Monkey King” from Monkey Business), you’re able to play your prize in the Archive Room.
E Notes
Avid Reader
Find and read the first 4 notes from ‘E’.
‘E’, the mysterious wanderer who explored these nightmares before the protagonist, has a secret note in each stage. Interacting with it will trigger a cutscene, and players must view the first four to nab this achievement.
