Introduction
Hello guys! here is my complete achievement guide for this pretty and cute game.

Some statistics
  • Average time to unlock all achievements: 12-14 hours
  • Minimal amount of playthroughs: 2 (actually you can try to get all achievements in one playthrough, but it is not fun)
  • Story related: 10/30
  • Collectibles: 4/30
  • Game Progress: 6/30
  • Game Mechanics: 5/30
  • Secrets: 5/30
  • Difficulty Related: none

Some general tips
Every battle has a rank from S to F grade. But I never get an F grade, so I don't really know. This rank consists of 3 parts:
  • How many guardians was destroyed (notice that Sentinels has x2 counter, Keepers - x3 and so on).
  • How much damage was taken by the player (even some hits won't reset your S rank)
  • Battle time.
The level rank is consist of only battle ranks (rounded down, ie. A+S battle ranks gives you an A level rank). You can play the level as long as you want. You can replay checkpoints without any penalties. No matter of collected items, no matter of difficulty either.

You can replay chapter to get higher rank, or get missed collectible or finish side quest. All this stuff is independent and can be obtained separately. But remember that you can't get a better time because every replay time is added to overall time instead of resetting the previous level time.

Hidden
Giant SSSSlayer!
Obtain an "S" ranking for each
Major Boss Fight (3 Soul Shards and Zahr)

Description: Actually, I've beat every level on S rank, but to get this you'll need to finish only boss levels (4, 7, 10, 11).

Shard bosses are pretty simple. Zahr is more specific.
For some bosses I'll point useful builds in this manner:
n1 / n2 / n3 / n4 / n5
  • n1 - Quantity of Protectors stacks (not the real amount of Protectors! )
  • n2 - Quantity of Sentinels stacks
  • n3 - Quantity of Keepers stacks
  • n4 - Quantity of Commanders stacks
  • n5 - Quantity of Summoners stacks

Some tips:
1st shard boss
Nothing Difficult. Get some stacks of Protectors and forget about them. Just reanimate when necessary. Focus on Sentinels and save them from attacks.

2nd shard boss
If you have any troubles, use this build: 2 / 10+ / 2 / 1 / 2
  • The First stage - use your summoners as fast as you can. After you get a Titan, use it to smash the drake standing on the monument and kill the round-like enemies. Don't try to wait in the Titan's form for the second monument, you can't.
  • The Second Stage - save only Sentinels, reanimate Protectors, forget about the rest. Reanimate Protectors when necessary but don't bother yourself by saving them.


3rd shard boss
If you have any troubles, use this build: 2 / 14+ / 4 / 0 / 0
Use your Protectors against the regular enemy. Use your Sentinels against the boss when he will be reachable. And just run with them when he is unreachable, don't try to kill the regular enemy.


Last Fight
Build for the first part: 1 / 12 / 7 / 0 / 0
Use Protectors on an enemy, use Keepers to refill anima, get away your Sentinels and focus them on killing crystal stones. Reanimate your Protectors when necessary. Save your Keepers. When you are going to activate one of the 4 barriers retreat your Keepers. I've finished this part in about 4 minutes and with the first enemy is being still alive.

Build for the second part: 12+ / 12+ / 0 / 0 / 0
Here are the tricky part. The Zahr has an attack that very hard to avoid to and that could one-hit your Sentinels. But this attack probably triggers when too low Protectors are surrounding him. So keep an eye on Protectors.


Final Blow!
Use one of Otto's Attacks
to Finish Off Zahr

Description: When he will have about 1/4 HP remove your stacks one by one, so when he will have a very low HP your could kill him alone.

In the Blink of an Eye
Invoke 10 groups of Guardians
in less than 2 seconds

Description: Very easy. Start the forest maze level or the last level, get 10-12 stacks of anima and very fast animate your guardians.

Crowd Pleaser
Control 80 Guardians
or more simultaneously

Description: You can easily get it on the last level. You'll get 20 stacks of anima at the beginning of the fight. So just animate your Protectors 20 times (but you need Shaping Mastery 3 skill )

Get me to the Church on Time!
Finish the game in less
than 4 hours!

Description:You'll need the second playthrough to obtain this because the level's time does not reset during replays, it addicts your played time to the overall time. Follow my time of the table in the introduction section as a guideline and skip everything that you do not need. The battle's ranks are not relevant. All that you might need is the runes to get more anima stacks. Collect runes that are not far away from you. And change the difficulty to Apprentice so the battles would be a little easier if you want.
That's all
I hope that my guide was helpful for you and you've enjoyed this game :)
