“Welcome to ‘The First Descendant’ achievement guide! I am currently working on getting all 24 achievements, and I already have 17. However, some of them can be confusing, so I decided to write this guide to help you out. Keep reading to find out how to conquer all the challenges in the game.”
Story
This Achievement is received when you have finished the tutorial.
This Achievement is received when you complete every story required mission in Kingston.
This Achievement is received when you complete every story required mission in The Sterile Land.
This Achievement is received when you complete every story required mission in Vespers.
As part of the story, after returning to Albion and talking to the Guide after finishing the Kingston area, the Grave Walker appears in the Void. You are then given a quest to speak to Seneca who explains what is going on. All you gotta do is kill the Grave Walker and you get this achievement.
As part of the story, you will need to build Bunny from the materials you got from the Kingston area and Grave Walker (one of the Amorphous Materials you get from a mission in Kingston is a guaranteed Bunny Blueprint drop). If you haven’t already visited Anais, then this is likely how you’ll get this achievement.
The first Ultimate weapon you’ll craft will be Thunder Cage as part of a quest for the weapon.
Advancement
Just equip a module on any weapon or Descendant you have.
Go to a Workbench (look for the Wrench/Cogwheel icon). You will need a higher level weapon compared to what you currently have equipped and, depending on the rarity, you will either need 1-4 Phase Exchangers (Common and Rare Weapons) or 1 Precision Phase Exchanger (Ultimate Weapons).
Honestly will just happen as you play the game. You’ll get this faster if you just stick with your original Descendant until you get this achievement.
Works with Ultimate weapons but you’ll need the same weapon to do this. The first time you’ll do this is with the Thunder Cage.
Will take some Kuiper grinding but you’ll want to talk to Silion and rank up a module seven times. I recommend doing a Sub Module like Shock Punch first as Sub Modules increase your Descendant’s mod capacity.
You’ll eventually reach this as you continue playing.
You’ll need an Energy Activator. You get your first one upon a Descendant reaching Level 40 and talking to the Descendant Trainer.
You will need Ion Accelerators (Rare Reactors) or two Precise Ion Accelerators (Ultimate Reactors). I’ve never enhanced a Rare Reactor before so I can’t tell you how many Ion Accelerators you’ll need but, as you’ll likely be fighting Colossi, I recommend sticking to the Ultimate Reactors for the most part.
Same thing as the Modules Maketh Descendant Achievement. You will of course need to farm for the materials you’ll need for the Energy Activator.
This one will be a pain in the ass as you’ll need to get the materials for and craft 10 Crystallization Catalysts.
Miscellaneous
This is the first of several in this section where the instructions aren’t all that clear. You would think it can be done in stages but it can’t. For this achievement, you have to dismantle 50 weapons all at once which, in my opinion, isn’t fair. Especially for the players who are big into inventory management.
As long as you don’t fail, you will get this the first time you do that mission and I highly recommend it as it has very useful items to farm for.
This one I haven’t done yet, though I have passively tried. As I have failed, I believe you have to do it in one Void Intercept mission and I don’t believe the method matters (and although the icon is a grappling hook, I seriously hope you don’t need to melee the parts). Regardless of method, I recommend running a private intercept against the Grave Walker as that will be the easiest Colossi to defeat. It will also prevent anyone else from resetting your progress for this achievement.
Just farming a lot and go to Silion to dismantle dupes or anything you don’t want. This one will have to be done all at once as I’ve dismantled about 2000 of them, according to the game, but haven’t gotten the achievement yet.
This is rather easy as you can get them all for free and, not including the one you chose when starting the game, your first two are actually sub-quests. Bunny can be built upon completing Kingston while Freyna can be built after Vespers or halfway into Echo Swamp. I’m currently almost done farming my fourth Descendant: Valby.
This one you will get relatively easily as you need to fight Colossi a lot to open Amorphous Material Patterns to get materials for various things like Descendants and Ultimate tier weapons.
For this one, you’ll likely need to do them in one go as I never got it in the two-stage attempt I made to get this achievement.
