This guide will help you achieve a 100% completion rate in Keylocker, a turn-based cyberpunk action game. Follow these tips and tricks to unlock all achievements and dominate your opponents in the game. Let’s dive in!
Introduction
For some tips I HIGHLY recommend if you’re having trouble with the timings and the difficulty to play on the easiest difficulty since it doesn’t affect achievements. You will have to play through the game multiple times if you want all of the achievements so once you hit new game+ Right Trigger on your controller or 3 on your numpad will skip dialogue extremely fast. I also recommend each play through should be done in new game+ since you keep all of your weapons, Macross, and Keys.
If you’re having trouble with drones catching you constantly; the heat gauge on the right side of your screen is essentially a wanted level and caps at 4 heat. Each time you get caught by a drone light and win the fight your heat level will decrease and at 0 heat there will be no drones searching for you. Most of your heat will come from picking up items you find and sometimes from progressing certain quests or opening red doors.

Class Achievements
Followed the path of the Sequencer
Note: You must choose the Sequencer class in order to get this achievement and play through the Scrapyard until you reach the Circuit Barricade. Head to the west side of the area and talk with Nahilys and then head to the south area of the Circuit Barricade to defeat the creature. Talk with Nahilys again and head into the church in the Circuit Barricade and talk with him again then head east inside the church and interact with the PC. After that head for the Kymel Desert and from the entrance of the Kymel Desert (after you fight the 3 Clericopters) head north and talk to the Cleric head to receive the headphones.
Hijacked the Chapel Broadcast
Note: Once you reach Soundwave city you have to choose the Jester class for Bobo, you can get the Jester option as a Sequencer and a hacker. As a Jester, work your way through the city until you unlock the music box in the Residential Complex which should also let you into the Chapel.
Once inside the church keep to the right and talk to the Clericopter guarding a set of stairs to get him to move then make your way down the stairs until you run into some bots that trigger a fight. Once you defeat the bots Dealer should call you, giving you a new quest as well as joining your party.
Head back into the main portion of the church and interrupt the Jester’s that knock you back which should trigger a fight. Once you defeat them talk to Michael on the main stage and watch the cutscene then try to leave. As a warning there will be a lot to fight here but you do get some help! Once you’re done fighting, Dealer should leave and you should get the achievement.
Followed the path of the Hacker
Note: You must choose the Hacker class in order to get this achievement and play through the story until you reach the first Scrapyard area. Find Hackerman by the stage in the first area of the Scrapyard and then go hack the Vending Machine to the right of him. After that he’ll tell you to meet him in their trailer which is the trailer where you and Rocket first enter in from.
Enter the trailer and talk to both Hackerman and Dr Hax then make your way to the Kymel Desert. From the Kymel Desert entrance where you fight the 3 Clericopters head north until you see a floating orange diamond. Interact with it and hack it then head north and hack the blue TV Excuse by interacting with it then defeat it.
Head back down to the orange diamond and interact with it one more time to teleport back to the trailer where Dr Hax and Hackerman are. Talk to Dr Hax to get the TV Head Replacement and then the achievement should unlock.
Sided with Nahilys in the Cyberwalker Hideout
Note: Once you reach Soundwave City you have to choose the Cyberwalker class which is availible to Hackers and Sequencers. After you’ve chosen Cyberwalker, head for the Suspicious Backstreets and open the music box then you should have access to the Cyberwalker Hideout.
Opening the blue door to the hideout will trigger a fight with a Technocrat and once you defeat him climb up the ladder and jump across the platforms and talk with the Cyberwalker to trigger another fight with a Technocrat.
Once you defeat him, Rocket should start to malfunction and end up leaving you alone for a short time. Save the game here and explore to the east where Simon is hooked up to a bunch of computers. Talk with Simon and side with Nahilys which will trigger a fight against Simon and Dealer and the achievement should popup after it.
Followed the path of the Juggernaut
Note: You must choose the Juggernaut class in order to get this achievement and play through the Scrapyard until you reach the Landfill Compactor. Head into The Shelters, the building that’s super close to the entrance of the Landfill Compactor area, and talk with Patricia.
Once you have her quest, head for the Kymel Desert and once you’re there, head north east from the entrance until you find a bunch of Pioneers and talk with the one that’s sitting on the edge of the water. After that head north and search the sand pile to get one of the items he requested, then head south where the 4 oil rig like machines are and there should be a very well hidden sand pile just behind them. Once you have both items return to the Extraction Worker and then head west and talk with Johnathan and the achievement should unlock.
Uncovered the secrets of the Terminators
Note: Once you reach Soundwave City you have to choose the Terminator class which is available to Juggernauts and Hackers. Head to Alpha Route and complete Carla’s Gym and talk with Judette and Carla then progress the story normally until you reach the third floor of the circus.
Find and talk with Judette again and then find and talk with Lilibug on the same floor and continue the story normally until you reach chapter 4 in the Green Meadow. Find the Greenhouse and look to the right of it and you’ll find Judette, Carla, and a Pioneer. Talk with them then continue the story normally until Laplace changes you back into your regular size then head north from him and then after Judette leaves the achievement should unlock.
Followed the path of the Samurai
Note: You must choose the Samurai class in order to get this achievement and play through the Scrapyard until you reach Watts Alley. Talk with Senpai and get her quest and buy the carpet and leave Watts Alley into the Circuit Barricade.
Head south until you find the buried Save Dinosaur and then head east from him and talk with the Vulture. Ask about the riddle and select Gumbloo to get the two dry bones then head for the Kymel Desert Dojo and talk with Senpai there.
After that head for Mimas and explore to the right of him to find the Vulture Lord. Give him the dry bones and he will give you the Ancient Karuta armor along with the achievement.
Fought the new Shogun atop the Apartments
Note: You must choose the Daimyo class in order to get this achievement and play through Soundwave City until you reach the Apartments in the Residential Complex. Talk to Senpai in the Apartments then head to the top of the Apartments and defeat the Shogun to get the achievement.
Endings
Got the Dissonance Ending
Note: During your choice with Atlas, choose to leave Saturn then progress the story normally, Ruhi should be waiting for you in the Pandora’s Tears area. Talk with her and she’ll give you DNA that’ll help you during the final boss fight. Keep progressing the story until you reach Pandora’s room where she’ll make you choose between Dealer and Rocket. For Dissonance Ending A choose Rocket then progress the story and beat the final boss and the achievement should unlock.
Got the second Dissonance Ending
Note: Follow the steps above except this time tell Pandora you choose to save Dealer.
Got the Resonance Ending
Note: During your choice with Atlas, choose to stay in the dome then progress the story normally until you’re about to enter the Chateau after you finish the final concert. Ruhi should appear just before you enter and give you a choice to become one with Dealer or break the worlds clock. Choose to become one with Dealer and progress the story normally until you beat the final boss and the achievement should unlock.
Got the second Resonance Ending
Note: Follow the above steps except this time tell Ruhi you wish to break the worlds clock.
Romance Achievements
I don’t fully understand how gifting or hearts function however for the achievements its important to save usable items like the Immortalised Cells, Sweet Donuts, Sugar Pills, and Blossom Gunpowders and use them as gifts instead for whoever you’re trying to romance. I’m not entirely sure if hearts are a good way to gauge your progress with their romances either since when I got Senpai’s Ending i had 3 hearts with Senpai but when I got Felix’s Ending I had 6 with Felix.
There does seem to be a bug with Simon during chapter 6 in the Doppelganger Breeding Grounds where if you talk to him it can lock you into getting his romance ending over other endings.
Also I may have missed a few things since these romance paths are spread out through the entire game but I tried to get everything I could.
Simon’s Romance
Romanced Simon
Note: It’s important to save Immortalised Cells to gift to Simon.
Talk to Simon as soon as you enter the Scrapyard, then talk to him again in Icey’s Icecream shop in Watts Alley and gift him a Cell if you can. Progress the story until you’re on the train heading for Soundwave City and talk with him and gift him as many Cells as you can.
Once you’re in Soundwave City, I don’t believe this is required for the romance but it’s Extra Lore, if you choose the Cyberwalker class and make your way through the Suspicious Backstreets and to the Cyberwalker Hideout you can side with Simon once you talk to him while he’s hooked up to all the computers.
After that progress the story to chapter 4 and once you find Yu’s body, go right a bit until you see water and hug the edge until you find Simon. Talk with him until he leaves then progress the story until you reach The Lake of Forgotten Hope and choose Simon when you sit at the Gazebo.
Continue through the story until you reach chapter 6 in the Doppelganger Breeding Grounds where you talk to Kassandra. After you talk with her head to the bottom right section where Simon should be waiting for you, talk with him there then progress the story normally until you reach Atlas and tell her you want to leave Saturn.
Keep progressing until you enter the Stars Corridor in chapter 7 and choose Simon when the Save Dinosaur gives you the option. After that, beat the game and you should get Simon’s romance scene along with the achievement.
The Prince’s Romance
Romanced The Prince
Note: It’s important to save Sugar Pills to gift to The Prince during the train ride to Soundwave City.
During the train ride gift The Prince as many Sugar Pills as you can and talk with him then progress the story until you reach the New Routes Expansion in Soundwave City. Explore until you find him and talk with him and he should disappear.
Progress the story until you reach the Lake of Forgotten Hope and sit at the Gazebo that’s to the east of Rocket and select The Prince. After that progress the story until you reach The Basilica and explore the Upper East Wing where he should be conversing with Nahilys. Progress the story until you reach the Doppelganger Breeding Grounds and make your way to the Manufactorium where The Prince will take Bobo away leaving you to play as Dealer.
Progress the story until you reach Atlas and tell her you wish to leave Saturn, otherwise you won’t be able to get the achievement. After that progress to chapter 7 until you enter the Stars Corridor where the Save Dinosaur will ask about your relationships and give you options to choose someone, choose The Prince.
Progress the story until you reach the Palace where The Prince should be waiting for you just outside of Pandora’s room. Talk to him there then progress the story until you beat the game; I always choose Dealer when Pandora asks me who I’d save because I like that ending a lot more.
Felix’s Romance
Romanced Felix
Note: It’s important to save as many Blossom Gunpowders as you can to gift to Felix since these are fairly hard to come by.
During chapter 3 after you enter the Circus area in Soundwave City and get your ticket, head to the second floor and wait in line. After the woman lets you in, head towards Felix and let her scan your ticket then gift her a Blossom Gunpowder then talk with her again to make her leave.
You can meet her again on the fourth floor of the Circus where you can continue talking with her. If you keep talking to her she’ll give you the option to gift her more Blossom Gunpowders.
After that progress the story until you reach chapter 4 and The Lake of Forgotten hope and sit at the Gazebo that’s to the east of Rocket and select Felix. After that keep progressing the story until you reach Atlas and tell her you want to leave Saturn.
Progress the story until you reach The Hanged Gardens where she’ll be standing on the platform with the Dingus’s. Talk with her and gift her any Blossom Gunpowders you have then progress normally until you reach the Stars Corridor and choose Felix when the Save Dinosaur talks with you. After that beat the game and you should get Felix’s romance scene along with her achievement.
Senpai’s Romance
Romanced Senpai
Note: Early on its important to save as many Sweet Donuts as you can to gift to Senpai since its very important to her romance that you gift her one when she’s in Watts Alley.
You need to choose the Samurai class and talk with Senpai all through-out the prison and then progress until you reach Watts Alley. If you have money to spend you can go into Icey’s shop and go to the IC-Bot behind the counter and buy 1 of 15 Sweet Donuts.
Head back to Watts Alley and gift Senpai one of the Sweet Donuts or until she stops accept them then talk with her and she’ll tell you that you must track down the leader of the Vultures for the hat of the Shogun. Leave Watts Alley and make your way to the Circuit Barricade and find the buried Save Dinosaur then head right from it and talk to the Vulture and ask him about the riddle. The correct answer is Gumbloo and he’ll give you 2 dry bones that you can give to the Vulture Lord later in the Kymel Desert.
Return to Watts Alley and talk with Senpai and she’ll tell you to meet her in the Kymel Desert Dojo and leave Watts Alley once she’s done talking to you. Make your way back to the Circuit Barricade and head for the Landfill Compactor and she should be waiting for you at the end of the path just past the vending machine.
Talk with her then make your way by her to the Kymel Desert Dojo and talk with Senpai there to get the quest to bring two dry bones to the Vulture Lord. Also talk with Musashi, the Usurper and you can pick up Reese’s quest too since it’s along the way.
Progress the story by finding the 4 Nahilys and opening the locked gate and heading through, then head right until you find the Samurai’s grave and interact with the orb. Then head north towards Mimas but instead of talking to him head right and the Vulture Lord should be there.
Once you have the Ancient Karuta armor, you should unlock the Samurai achievement and then you can head back to the Dojo and turn in your quest with Reese then talk to Senpai and Musashi. After that you can progress the story until you get to the point where Rocket joins Dealer and to be safe I made Rocket a Samurai as well.
Eventually when you get to the Temple Complex in chapter 2 and fight Tethys and Mimas, ignore Mimas and kill Tethys first, then kill Mimas. During the last chapter of the game Mimas will free Senpai (along with the others) so its important to save him.
After the boss fight, head for the train and find Senpai in the back of the line and talk to her then progress the story until you’re on the train. Talk with Mimas and then try to gift Senpai (its okay if you can’t) and talk with her then head to Soundwave City. Icey has a shop in the train car that sells a bunch of giftable items if you need as well, the door is behind her under the giant ice cream cone.
Once you’re there, it’s extremely important that you choose Daimyo since you can only fight The Shogun at the top of the Apartments as a Daimyo. Once you’ve chosen Daimyo, make your way north until you’re in the Residential Complex and can enter the Apartments there.
Once you’re inside, talk with Senpai and get her quest then head up to the roof, fighting the Daimyo guard as Bobo before reaching the roof where Senpai should be waiting for you. Help her defeat The Shogun then talk with her again which Bobo should say its better to leave her alone for now.
Progress the story until you reach the fifth floor of the Circus and after you save Dealer and unlock the music box, Senpai should be waiting for you outside by the two locked doors. Talk with her and then progress the story until you reach chapter 4 in The Lake of Forgotten Hope and sit at the Gazebo and choose Senpai.
Continue progressing the story until you reach Atlas and tell her you want to leave Saturn then keep progressing until you reach the Stars Corridor and choose Senpai when prompted by the Save Dinosaur. After that beat the game and you should get Senpai’s Romance scene along with the achievement.
Misc

Got your own “Dog”
Note: In The Kymel Desert after opening the gate with the 4 Nahilys, go through the gate and hug the left side and the Dog should be in its own little area. All you have to do is interact with it and choose to pet the Dog to get the achievement. If you missed that one, after you talked with Mimas, head up the stairs to The Temple of Rejected Gods and hug the left side and it should be on the other side of some spikes.
Spared Mimas, The Third Eye
Note: During the boss fight with Tethys and Mimas at the end of chapter 2, focus killing Tethys first while Ignoring Mimas. Once Tethys is dead, kill Mimas and it will spare him and the achievement should unlock.
Fulfilled your bargain with Mimas
Note: Once you reach the Basilica, play through the area until you reach The Baptistery and then head east through the door and talk with Mimas. Progress the story until you reach chapter 7 where you enter the Temple of Saturn and Mimas should be where four of your friends are locked up. Talk with Mimas and he should guide you to Ruhi and once you find her and talk with her you can return to Mimas and free him along with your friends.
Learned about the Church of the Hum’s divisions
Note: During Chapter 3 in Soundwave City once you unlock the music box in the Residential Complex you should get a cutscene of Clericopters talking about the church being in session. After that head back to Gamma Route and the church should be open. Once inside the church keep to the right and there should be a Clericopter guarding a set of stairs down, talk with him and he should move out of the way. Head down those stairs and there should be a Jester girl called Emiriko, the Lore Bearer and all you have to do is click through all of the options she gives you to unlock the achievement.
Solved the Riddle at Hanged Gardens
Note: In chapter 7 once you enter the Hanged Gardens, talk with the Octopi and it will give you the riddle. Speak to all of the Dingus’, return back to the Octopi, and the answer is Dingus The Third. Climb down some vines on the right side of the platform and talk with with the Alpaca to get the achievement.
