About this guide
In this guide, I’ll explain how to play Ampers@t and unlock all the achievements.
There are story-related achievements as well as some that you could technically miss — but don’t worry: you can continue playing your save even after finishing the game, and unlock any missed achievements at any time.

The achievements here are simply listed in order, not sorted by type.
You can easily jump to any achievement by using the table of contents on the side.

This is my first guide, so please bear with me if it’s not perfect yet.
I still hope it will be helpful to you!
If it does help, I’d really appreciate a like or even a small award. 😊

General Gameplay Mechanics
Ampers@t is a classic roguelite.
You start out in a small village (the hub) and have 5 possible directions to go:

  • Fire (right)
  • Ice (left)
  • Chaos (lower right)
  • Light (lower left)
  • Kinetic (up)

In the village, you’ll find three buildings: the Inn, the Armor Shop and the Weapon Shop.
There are also two statues, a well, and some NPCs.

When you approach a path leading out of the village, the screen pans to a tower. Each tower has 5 upper and 5 lower levels. You always start from the bottom.

Note:
If you die, you lose about 1/5 of your accumulated experience and 40-60 % gold. Gold deposited in the Inn and XP already converted into skill points are not affected.

At the beginning, many bits of information are not readable yet (story-related) — that’s intentional.
Buildings
Inn:
  • Restores your HP when entered.
  • Acts as a bank: you can deposit gold here.
  • Also used for leveling up: the spider-web-like skill tree is leveled from the inside out. You can only unlock adjacent skills.
    When you enter, any full XP bars are automatically converted into skill points.

Weapon Shop:
  • Offers three weapons you can buy with gold.
  • The higher the level, the stronger the available weapons (max 5).
  • You can spend gold to refresh the weapon selection.

Armor Shop:
  • Works the same as the Weapon Shop, but for armor.

Well:
  • Unlocks the endless dungeon.
  • The higher the well level, the deeper you can start.

Statues:
  • Provide buffs for the final boss.
