Welcome to our gaming guide for Scroll the Pain Away – Achievements! In this game, you must create magic scrolls by combining glyphs. Your customer will give you a rating based on the spell you create. This guide will provide one of the many solutions for obtaining customer rating achievements, as well as tips for the skill-based arcade minigame achievements. Please note, this guide contains spoilers and the minigame achievements require a lot of effort to obtain. Keep reading to become an achievement hunter in Scroll the Pain Away!
Story Achievements
Complete the tutorial
How To: Self-explanatory. Play through the tutorial.
Give a customer a spell
How To: Obtained when you hand in your first scroll. Not really missable.
Finish the first day
How To: Obtained after you hand in scrolls to all eight customers.
Finish the second day
How To: To break the time loop, you’ll need to obtain 6 star ratings for all customers AND answer your phone messages (try to do so as they arrive). Finish this day, and the next will be an extended epilogue, at the end of which this achievement will trigger.
Rating-related Achievements
Kill someone with a spell
How To: This requires killing one of your customers through the spell you give them.
Killing the person that the scroll is meant for is not enough. For instance, you could kill the nun-doctor’s patient with Electricity Crush Ludicrous, but in this case she will survive and the achievement will not trigger. Similarly, you could use the same combination Electricity Crush Ludicrous for the kid’s prank, but this will only make him tell you that a life was taken.
To obtain the achievement, you could for example cast:
Blacksmith or Mayor: Fire Explosion Ludicrous
Get a 0 star review
Get a 0 star average in a day
How To: This requires giving ineffective scrolls to all your customers, so that each of them leaves a 0-star rating. The achievement does not trigger if one of the customers is dead. The achievement might not trigger immediately at the end of the day, if it doesn’t then open the Yap app on your phone.
Hints on how to reach these combinations are indicated in your notes app with a devil icon (and italic font).
Here are some examples that worked for me:
Gardening lady: Earth Lift
Art dude: Electricity Crush Ludicrous
That kid: Electricity Crush Ludicrous
Blacksmith: Earth Lift Ludicrous
Mayor: Blood Explosion Strong
Nun: Electricity Crush Ludicrous
Rich lady: Electricity Crush Ludicrous
Magician: Gag Explosion Moderate
Get a 6 star review
Get a 6 star average in a day
How To: This requires giving the most effective scrolls to all your customers, while also making them happy, so that each of them leave a 6-star rating. The achievement might not trigger immediately at the end of the day, if it doesn’t then it will certainly trigger when you open the Yap app on your phone.
Obtaining a 6 star rating doesn’t seem possible unless you add a 5th glyph (it appears marked with a “B” below and in your notes app after you finish this day).
To draw this 5th glyph is pretty frustrating, you will need several attempts for it to even register. From what I’ve noticed, the first one always fails, thus you will need for it to register at least twice. It also seems that it needs to touch all other glyph lines. I found the best way to do this is to draw all 4 glyphs on top of each other to fill the scroll paper, and then draw the 5th to contain all of them.
Hints on how to reach these combinations (or rather what bonuses to use) are given by completing challenges in Element Tapper.
Here are some examples that worked for me:
Gardening lady: Nature Hands Strong Chromatic B: Blood
Art dude: Fire Explosion Ludicrous Chromatic B: Illusion
Prankster: Gag Hands Ludicrous Sparkles B: Gag
Blacksmith: Earth Cleanse Ludicrous Sparkles B: Crush
Mayor: Water Cleanse Strong Strobe B: Ludicrous
Nun: Blood Hands Strong Sparkles B: Cleanse
Rich lady: Water Sparkles Ball Ludicrous B: Air
Magician: Gag Lift Moderate Chromatic B: Blood
Get a 5 star review
Get a 5 star average in a day
How To: This requires giving effective scrolls to all your customers, so that so that each of them leave a minimum 5-star rating. You can use the same spells you used to get the 6-star rating, and change at least one customer so that your rating drops somewhere between 5 and 6. The achievement might not trigger immediately at the end of the day, if it doesn’t then it will certainly trigger when you open the Yap app on your phone.
Repeat the day and craft all 6-star scrolls, apart from one, for example, you can use any of the following replacements:
Gardening lady: Nature Hands Strong
Art dude: Fire Explosion Moderate Chromatic B: Illusion
Rich lady: Earth Lift Strong Sparkles
Magician: Gag Lift Moderate Chromatic

Element Tapper Tips
Earth +20; (connected: 2 x Earth +60; 3 x Earth +100; 4 x Earth +140)
Water +20
Fire +0 (connected 2 x Fire +80; 3 x Fire +160; 4 x Fire +240)
Air +50 (connected 2 x Air +100; 3x Air +150)
Nature +20
Blood +0 (connected 2 x Blood +250)
Electricity +10
Connected elements will award different values, depending on what they are connected to.
The main struggle of the minigame comes from the very low amount of available turns. Thus, keep in mind to always consume a water element connected to other water or fire elements to increase the number of available turns.
🏆 Master
Connect earth to earth for extra points.
Connect fire to anything else for extra points.
Connect blood to blood only for extra points, or blood to other elements to corrupt them and then consume them for points.
Connect nature to water and earth, consume the nature element to generate random connections.
Connect electricity to other electricity and create networks as big as possible, then consume electricity for added points.
Connect water to fire, then consume water to gain turns.
🏆 Growth
Connect nature to water and earth, then consume the nature elements to create new random connections.
Repeat until you have created 25 of these new connections.
The 25 connections do not have to be created in a single turn.
🏆 Burn
Connect fire to any 25 other elements.
The 25 elements do not have to be consumed in a single turn.
🏆 Shocking
You will need to consume (destroy an electricity element) a network containing at least 7 electricity + 15 other elements.
(10 * 22 total elements * 7 electricity)
This must be done in a single turn, therefore grow your network first before consuming it.
🏆 Vital
Create a network of min 2 bloods (and no other element) then consume one of these bloods.
You will lose points for any non-blood element connected.
2 connected blood elements gives you 250 points.
3 connected blood elements gives you 500 points.
etc.
🏆 Corrupt
Connect blood to as many different elements as you can, then consume a blood element to corrupt all connected elements.
Then consume (destroy) one of each corrupted elements. The consumption of the corrupted elements can happen in different turns (they don’t need to be linked together).
🏆 Survivor
Connect as many fire and water as you can, then consume water to gain extra turns.
🏆 Rainbow
Consume 3 of every element in one game.
As far as I remember, this doesn’t require consuming corrupted elements in addition to the regular ones.
