This guide will be covering all the necessary steps to unlock every achievement in Extra Coin. I will try my best to keep it spoiler free (major spoilers will be covered), but I still advise that you read this guide after completing the story to have the most authentic experience possible.

Missable Achievements & Shards
There are 3 missable achievements in Extra Coin. I will be putting the timeline of when they happen so you can look out for them.
Chapter 1
Who’s a Noob?: Beat Dunc3 without letting him score a point – You can always turn down the fight difficuly in options to make this easier.
Transition between Chapter 4 and 5
Tears: Look into your dad’s eyes when you stab him
Digital Blood: Deliver the finishing blow on acid_burn
Chapters 2-5
[Secret] (Mei Wong): Collect every memory shards and complete “The Decline” quest.
You will be given the option to pick up memory shards in the world starting from chapter 2. These memory shards take the form of white pixels hidden in the environment. For the most part, there will be 2 memory shards in each location, on both activity loops and duel loops, for a total of 4 per location, per chapter (don’t forget the loft!). Note that some shards can only be acquired by talking to some NPCs.
I will be noting the last task you have to do before the end of a chapter. You have to collect all of the shards from a chapter before moving on to the next or you will be locked out of getting them.
Chapter 2
Gather all the memory shards before you meet bleeD at the Game Over Mountains
Chapter 3
Gather all the memory shards before meeting Joystick at the Save Point Spa
Chapter 4
Gather all the memory shards before talking to M4rsh at the Ron Ron Café for the second time (following your meeting with Arr0w at the Save Point Spa)

Map Icons
While selecting which location you want to go through, here are some icons you may see and what they mean.
This icon means the cosmetics shopkeeper will be at this location
This icon means the ultimates shopkeeper will be at this location
This icon means the passives shopkeeper will be at this location
This icon means you can duel at this location
This icon means you can progress the main story at this location
This icon means you can progress the main story at this location, but not on this current loop
NPC Dialogues
Some NPC’s will have special dialogue where they ask you a question, such as the janitor in the CRT Theatre in chapter 4. Those questions are only able to be answered once so I suggest saving before answering them, however they have no impact on the gameplay and are not related to any achievements, whether you get them right or wrong. Same goes for any dialogue options that Mika has to choose, except for 2 that are achievement related (see missable achievements).
Thank You!
If you have any additional questions just let me know and I will do my best to answer.
