Looking to achieve a full completion in Radiant Silvergun? Look no further! This guide will provide you with all the necessary tips and strategies to unlock all 100% achievements in the game. Let’s get started!
Miscellaneous
“Use Hyper Sword”
Self explanatory, absorb 10 bullets and press A+B+C
Sword Master
“Clear level 1 using only the Sword”
Clear Stage 3A with only the sword. You cannot use anything besides the sword (A+B+C).
Credit feeding is allowed.
MERRY
“Find hidden bonus”
Uncover a Merry Dog in any stage, press B+C to use target attack.
The complete secret list is written in the next chapter.
On the Leaderboard
“Upload a score to the Leaderboards”
Upload any score on the leaderboard. You must use Score Attack
Complete Breakdown
“Destroy a boss with 100% destruction”
Fully dismantle any boss in any stage. If done right the bonus will be valued at 100%.
The complete boss guide is written in the next chapter.
Clear Story
“Clear Story Mode”
Self explanatory, complete Story Mode by clearing Stage 6-X.
This can be tricky at first. You only start with lvl 0, 3 lives, and no continues.
I recommend playing the mode a lot so you can unlock practice and also start grinding away “Weapon Master”.
Clear Arcade
“Clear Arcade Mode”
Self explanatory, complete Arcade Mode by clearing Stage 1.
You can credit feed this. I recommend learning the game and going by “Stage 2 route”
Max Chain
“Get 100,000 points by chain bonus”
The Easiest place for chaining is Stage 2B: Build a secret chain by killing one red enemy, then one blue, followed by yellows.
Weapon Master
“Get three weapons to maximum level”
You must upgrade your weapons until the maximum level of 33.
I recommend playing Story Mode for this, luckily you can save your progress.
You level up your weapons by killing enemies, getting chains, uncovering Merry, and getting “weapon” bonuses.
The best places for score are:
• 2B Secret chain
• 4A Red chain + Merry
• 5A Red chain, this is also the hardest chain in the game.
• 5B Red chains
• 6-1 Red chains EX boss
• 6-X Boss Kill
This will take quite some time.

Each Merry has a score value and will level up each weapon.

This will take a long time, It also includes Stage 6-2 extra boss
self destructs aren’t counted for the 100%!

5 Parts.
The first 100% is already quite demanding, Use a charged sword and be careful about the middle.

I recommend Target shot.

Not hard at first, but dealing with everything at the same time is really difficult.

Good luck with this one, you’ll need it.

They have a lot of HP, if you take too long, they will self destruct.
