    Big Thanks @Radagast the Brown!
    You need to unlock Sunstone and Moonstone with one Character and beat Crystal Nexus.

    Unlock Sunstone:
    - Go to Sun Monastery
    - Capture Sunstone Guardian at Wave 5
    - Open the legendary Chest he triggers
    - Finish the Scenario to get Sunstone with the Character you do this (must be done for each Character seperatly)

    Unlock Moonstone:
    - Go to Moonwood
    - Kill Moonstone Totem at Wave 8
    - Finish the Scenario to get Moonstone with the Character you do this (must be done for each Character seperatly)

    After unlocking both of them with the same Character:
    - Go to Crystal Nexus
    - Win the Scenario (Sunstone and Moonstone automaticly unlocks with the third and fourth die)

2.2.2. Chaos Realm
There are 6 Achievements relatet to Chaos Realm (3 for normal mode, 3 for Hard mode).
Chaos Mode unlocks once you have all the other scenarios beaten.

The Waves in Chaos Mode are Random and each few wave you must choose one out of 2 options to make the run even harder.
In Chaos Mode you can encounter the Cosmic Horror, capture him for more Points/ Stars.
For the 15.000 Points achievement you will need him for sure. Allways use the abilitys clone/ duplicate on him if posible.



Apprentice of Chaos

Get 5 stars in normal mode Chaos Realm.


Chaos Vessel

Get 5 stars with all characters in normal mode Chaos Realm.


Lord of Chaos

Score 15.000 points or more in Chaos Realm.


Master of Chaos

Get 5 stars in hard mode Chaos Realm.

2.2.3. Campaign Mode
There are 4 Achievements relatet to Chaos Realm (2 for normal mode, 2 for Hard mode).
Campaign Mode unlocks once you have all the other scenarios beaten.

At Campaign Mode you need to beat all Scenarios, one after another. Lose or Cancel a Scenario results in loseing your progress.
In Campaign mode you are limited to your start relic and the relics you unlock in tresure chests of the active Campaign.
With each star you get in an Campaign (even after failure) you can increase your "Campaign Level" (Max 5) giving you some bonuses (most importent Point multiplier and max gold Bonus). This should lead to higher points in your next campaign.

Going for the Campaign Achievements is a long shot, take your time!

Roguelite?

Beat a normal mode campaign.


Yendor

Get 5 stars in normal campaign mode.


Roguelike?

Beat a hard mode campaign.


Ascended

Get 5 stars in hard campaign mode.
2.3. Special Situations
There are 6 Achievements conected to special Situations.
All of them are highly missable.

RNGenius

Roll a one-sided die.


You need a die with 5 unrollable sides and just one face.... and you need to "roll" it.

The Ninja and his abilities can be helpfull.
Or simply go for gold and some luck in the shop

Die of Death

Deal 50 or more damage when attacking with a die face.


Seems hard in the beginning.
I recommand the Barbarrian for some attack multipliers or the ninja for some Combos.
A mix of their Abilities is also a good choice.
You can also capture some strong Pet and go for many fangs.

Overall i would recommand Chaos Realm and some moon Faces, cause this Scenario can be "endless".

High Roller Score a jackpot.



You need the Timebenders Ability "Gamble" and a realy good Roll of single symbols (don't know how much excactly...)
I recommand some pushed up moon faces and many, many rerolls...

Rampage
Turn into a demon during the first wave of a scenario and stay in demon form until you win.



You need the Demonologist.
You need the Guild Diploma (finish 12 Scenarios).

Go to any Scenario and have fun, it will be a differend and i think great experiance ;)

Near Death Experiences
Beat a scenario with exactly 1 health left and 9 fear.


This is a bit hard to do on purpuse.
I recomand the Ninja due to the Smoke Bomb ability, and try to erase all hearts from your dies.
Always remember: you get Fear by not killing monsters at the end of a wave (attack Power = fear gained).

Fan Service
Get 5 stars in a hard mode scenario while you have the Groupie as a pet.


You need the Bard.
You need the Ring of Fellowship (unlocks after finishing 8 Scenarios.)
You need Hard Mode unlocked.
Finish a Hard mode Scenario with the Groupie and 5 Stars.

2.3.1. All about Points
There are 4 Achievements about Victory Points.

I think there are 3 good Strategies about high point Runs:

1. Gold Run
Go to Bandit Raid.
Use the Demonologist.
Use Thetermages Helm as relic.
The Final Boss, Beast Rider, gives you 10 Gold on Capturing.
Just do so and use the Ability Pet as often as you can.
(...also replicate if you get it on your way)

2. Villager Run
Go to Moonwood.
Capture 4 Villagers in your Dices (or replicate them).
Each one is worth 200 Points, so 4 are 800 points "for free".



3. Cosmic Horror Run
Go to Frozen Horror (or Chaos Realm).
Each Cosmic Horror doubles your score when Captured.
Imagine 4 of them (ability Replicate).
But Captureing them can be Hard and Chaos Realm don't count for some achievements.



Victory Points

Get 500 points or more in gold bonus at the end of a scenario.


Simply do a Gold Run

Twin Stars
Beat a scenario (except the Tutorial or Chaos Realm) with at least twice as many points as the five-star requirement.


Do a Gold or Villager run AND go for a Streak.

Constellation
Beat a scenario (except the Tutorial or Chaos Realm) with at least three times as many points as the five-star requirement.


I highly recomand a "perfect" gold run.

Streakless
Gain 5 stars on any scenario without choosing a score reward (except after the last wave).


Do a Gold or a Villager run, just don't chose a streak reward.
2.4. Secret Achievements
There are 3 Achievements for alternate classes

Here is a cool Video about how to unlock.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2845003374

Overall tips:

To unlock the alternate classes you need to find them, Capture them in your dice and finish the scenario. They can be only find in hard mode, so the scenarios are challenging.
I recomend the Demonologist and her ability set.




The Necromancer is a good choice too, due to reaping attacks.


An other good option is the ability Preach (Preacher's Pamphlet - Unlocks when having 20+ Stars with Cleric)







Dice in the Dark
Unlock the Assassin.

Find the Assasin and capture her.

Go to Hard Mode Necromancer Tower.
You need a run with a Weird Apparation in wave 2 or 3 (you can check at the red Banner left on top under settings wheel).
Capture it and at wave 5 will be a sectret Door, enter it, meet assasin, capture her and finish the scenario with her to unlock.



https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2845011878

Slaying While Decaying
Unlock the Undead Barbarian.

Find the undead Barbarian and capture her.

Go to Hard mode Infested Sewers.
At Wave 6 there is a Bone Pile between seewer Ooze.
It becomes a Skeleton after some rerolls .... not realy!
Wait for it and it turns into the undead Barbarian.
Capture, finish Scenario with her, unlock.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2846899631

Om Nom Gnome

Unlock the Loot Gnome.

One With Chaos:
"Get 5 stars with all characters in hard mode Chaos Realm."
Does this include the secret characters? Because that sounds really annoying if I'd have to get them and do it with them too.

Thank you for the guide, very helpful!

For the RNGenius achievement you can also fight the chaosbane demon, the end boss monster in the crystal nexus level. The boss has an annihiliating attack so you can just let it whack you a couple of times until enough die faces disappear and you have a die with only one face left. This way I got the achievement on first try.

Although it's crazy unlikely, I somehow just unlocked the Assassin only about an hour into the game... First run with Necromancer, in Necromancer Tower. Saw the rarity and came to see what I did. All that to say: I don't think you have to be in Hard Mode because I haven't even unlocked it.
Was defeating the Secret Door enemy and opening the Tower Chest necessary?:cousin_june:

... that's real Genius ... ! Thx Nevermore xD
Nevermore 27 Oct, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
Other way to get RNGenius: Have a die with 5 cursed sides and capture the monster that prevents cursed sides from being rolled (doesn't have to be captured in the same die). Got the achievement by accident that way xD

Big thank you @Radagast the Brown!
I will check this out and add it to this guide :)
Radagast the Brown 29 Sep, 2023 @ 3:18pm 
The sunstone is a legendary item that you can unlock for the crystal nexus (normal levels). One step needed is to capture the miniboss in Sun Monastery and it drops a sunstone chest when you do. Open it. You have to unlock it with each character separately and it seems like it is guaranteed to be there, just get it on 5 star streak with each character. Then it appears over the character's portrait to use it in crystal nexus.
Radagast the Brown 29 Sep, 2023 @ 3:00pm 
For Moonstone legendary drop:
In the Moonwood scenario in the final boss wave make sure you kill the "Moonstone Totems" before the final boss. Again must be done with each class separately to unlock it for each.
