My Love Knows No Bounds
Obtain 69%+ affinity with all heroines
I assume this talks about the female characters that are listed here.
Obtain 21% affinity with 100 different “Wayfarers” from the friend list.
Your friends who play the game and join you via the party system can also be added to the friend list and will count towards this achievement, I am unsure if the previous characters mentioned here will count.
Weapon Related Stuff
Weaponmaster
Attain a total of 5,000 weapon proficiency
There are a total of 11 weapon types. Each has a maximum proficiency of 1000, but you really only need to get 500 in 10 of them to get this achievement. However, before the 2 DLC’s there were only 9 Weapons types.
Meaning that you would have had to get 1000 in at least one weapon type, but if you get the deluxe and have the dlcs, (I think the weapon types are free for everyone, IDK.) you just need to get your mitts on each type and level 10 of them to proficiency 500.
Skill Seeker
Obtain 400 skills
Just play the game, level up, do Stone warriors and Dungeon Raids. You’ll get skill points which you can spend on skills in game. You will have to unlock all EX Skills and their subsequent skills to get this AFAIK.
Not-So-Secret Arts
Unlock all Sword Skills in all 9 weapon categories
This is a base game achievement, before the DLC’s and stuff were released, meaning that you had to get 500 proficiency in all of them + 1000 in at least one type to unlock it.
Search and Destroy
Land a total of 500 hits on enemies with the charge gauge at max
Skills that you can charge up. Such as the Rapiers “Shooting Star” skill, just charge them to max (usually LVL3) and then land hits on the enemys.
Not Designed for This
Max out enhancement for one piece of equipment
If you’re playing the game and getting materials, you are going to want to head to a blacksmith to strengthen your gear to upgrade it to make it more viable for higher levels of play. You’ll get this just by upgrading your weapons.
I Bite My Thumb at Your “Limits”
Obtained a piece of legendary equipment
Easy-peasy to get, all you have to do is unlock a Devine beast and kill it. I recommend the one by Rulid village for a one-handed sword.
Sword Skills
Defeat an enemy with a Secret Art
Just use a Sword Skill to kill an enemy, it’s probably one of the earliest if not the first achievement players will unlock.
Enhance Armament
Defeat an enemy with a Perfect Weapon Control Art
Kirito’s Night Sky Sword, which you get for free if you are doing the story, has Enhance Armament on it and will be able to get you this one. Charge up your arts gauge and activate it.
Release Recollection
Defeat an enemy with a Memory Release
The exact same thing as “Enhance Armament”, Alice should have the Osmanthus Sword and should be able to use this as well as Enhance Armament. It should replace the “Super Arts” button on Alice when she has her blade.
Sword Skill Guru
Defeat 100 enemies with a Secret Art
Enhance Armament Guru
Defeat 30 enemies with a Perfect Weapon Control Art
Release Recollection Guru
Defeat 30 enemies with a Memory Release
The Guru skills are pretty much self-explanatory, and don’t need any more than the descriptions.
Misc Stuff
Recordkeeper
Unlock 90% of the gallery
Play the game, Episode Quests, max out affinity for the characters that you can get achievements from. You’ll get this eventually if you act like a loot goblin and do everything the game has to offer in your search of loot.
Though I have no idea if you can even get this with just the base game becuase of the DLC.
Eat the Rich
Obtain 1,000,000 Shia
Just play the game, talk to vendors that don’t have the “Crafting” menu’s and sell your useless old items. Craft a buncha of things, sell them. Get treasures, sell them. Complete side quests, get bank. Yadda Yadda Yadda!
As Old as Time Itself
Defeat 10 mythic-class enemies
Go hunt down all the Devine Beasts, if you kill all of them you should get this achievement.
Weed Whacker
Defeat 100 Clamps
Ripping Evil Out at the Roots
Defeat 10 Clamp Clusters
You really don’t need anyone to hold your hand and tell you how to do these.
Walking Encyclopedia
Clear the game with over 100 hours of playtime
Okay, the name for this is stupid… This achievement name should’ve been given to a new achievement for players who like… IDK… 100% the gallery? It just doesn’t really work for this achievement if you ask me.
All you have to is just sit in Rulid village at the start of the game for 100 hours without doing anything, hell just sitting in the menu works, and then complete the game.
Earn all achievements
Unlocked all achievements.
No Clue if this will pop for just the base game Achievement or if you need the DLC’s and to complete theirs as well, will update with that information later.
