Introduction to Chapter 6
Well hello there.You come here often?I hope so,because I've got plenty of..

Tips.Tips for you.To unlock achievements.Plenty of them.Here's a list of tips to unlock those achievements!You can thanks me and Coffeechipmunk later!
Global Achievements
Those achievements are those you can unlock with any survivalists.Most of the time,certain survivalists are easier to unlock certain achievements,but it's not required at all.Some of them will often be unlocked simply by playing,others you'll need to grind a bit more.

Defeat 20 Lemurians in one playthrough
Unlocks: Gasoline

The hardest achievement of all time ever. Just kidding, probably the easiest. Just stick on the first level until you get all twenty, and die.


Complete the first stage in under 5 minutes
Unlocks: Unstable Watch

May be a bit hard for a new player, but this is so worth it. Unstable Watch is such a sexy item, perfect for getaways. To unlock this, just try to find the teleporter and activate it as fast as possible.


Survive a boss with less than 20% health
Unlocks: Lost Doll

Nice item, easy achievement. Just bring the boss health as low as you can, and wait until your health reaches under 20% health, and then finish them!


Have 4 drone helpers at once
Unlocks: The Back-Up

Chances are you'll unlock this through playing the game.Not so hard to get,you need 4 drones at the same time.Easy one.


Fail a shrine 3 times in a row
Unlocks: Paul's Goat Hoof

It bothers me how the best white item in the game is only unlocked through chance. So, if you see a shrine, spend all that money trying to unlock this.


Kill the scavenger
Unlocks: 56 Leaf Clover

The scavenger is a late game boss, who shows up around the last 3/4 part of the difficulty bar. The 56 Leaf Clover is an awesome item, and the scavenger isn't that hard to beat.


The Lone Survivor
Unlocks: The Ol' Lopper

One of the easier achievements, just beat the first teleporter, and sit there, hanging on a rope until 40 minutes pass. Bam, 40 minutes survived.


Survive in lava for 1 minute straight
Unlocks: Fireman's Boots

The best way to do this is to stack Mysterious Vials, Bitter Roots, and Foreign Fruit. Shouldn't be too bad,especially if you go with Loader as his Debris Shield will help a lot.


End a teleporter timer with 0 enemies on the map
Unlocks: Photon Jetpack

Unstable Watch does wonders with this achievement, making it so much easier, as it freezes the time but the Teleporter countdown is still going.


Die 50 times
Unlocks: Dio's Best Friend

Possibly one of, if not the easiest achievement in the game. Just die.

Find the Bloated Survivor
Unlocks:Dead Man's Foot.

He might appear bottom right of the map,in the jelly part,completely to the right.You'll see a green thing at the dead end you can interact with.Interact with it,and bam,achievement.

Obtain 7 Monster Tooth and 1 Guardian Heart
Unlocks:Alien Head

Just get command,7 whites and 1 green.Easy peasy.

Reach 650 health
Unlocks:Bitter root

Get a lot of Bitter Roots with Command (Command lets you get locked items!),and it should pop.Easy one.

Unlock a Golden Chest with the Explorer's Key
Unlocks:Captain's Brooch

Easy one,as the Risk of Rain level always have one.Just do a run without Sacrifice artifact on,go to Risk of Rain level with Explorer's key,find the Chest and open it with the key

Deal 5000 damage in One shot
Unlocks:Glowing meteorite

Sniper's Steady Aim on Glass artifact.That's enough.If it's not,Use your SPOTTER:SCAN and get a perfect reload.That's way more then enough.

Drown 20 Whorls
Unlocks:Filial Imprinting

Achievement done in the Sunken Tomb level.You'll want a lot of Knockback (Boxing gloves help!) and low damage,so Commando/Enforcer are good ones.Then,go to the Sunken Tomb's bottom left (With the pillars that you can fall inbetween) and make whorls (Those are the snail-like (Nautilus-like if you know what that is) enemies!) fall into the holes.20 of them and you've got the achievement

Bank 20'000 gold
Unlocks:Golden Gun

Easy one,especially with Smart Shopper.Or get a couple Life Savings and wait after a teleporter event.Really easy.

Collect 4 Keycards
Unlocks:Wicked Ring

Keycards are items found only in the Risk of Rain level.They can be dropped by enemies or found in golden containers.Get 4 of them to get this achievement,simple.

Use a Health Shrine that drops you below 5% HP
Unlocks:Harverster's Scythe

Health shrines remove you health on use.To get this achievement,you must use a Health Shrine and get under 5% of your total health after using it.Kinda easy one.

Pass a shrine 4 times in a row
Unlocks:Snake's Eyes

Needs luck.You'll need to succeed at a shrine 4 times in a row,which requires a fair amount of luck.Just spend the most money you can on those shrines and you'll get it!
Specific character achievements 1/2
This section's about achievements that you can only do if you've got a certain character and you're playing it right now.Some of them are really simple,some of them are the hardest of the game.It'll be divided in 2 pages,just like in the game actually.

Commando.
Unlock achievement:None

First Achievement:Dodge 7 lethal attacks
Unlocks:Soldier's Syringe

Easy one.You have to use your Tactical Dive to avoid an attack that would normally kill you.Easy way to do so is to get low health,at a point any health would kill you,and to tactical dive into a horde of 7+ lemurians.Easy achievement.

Second Achievement:Activate the third teleporter without being hurt once.
Unlocks:Hyper-Threader

Owch.Hardest achievements of the game hands up.To easy things up,get Glass artifact.Also rush a lot.Also get command and the most Goat Hooves you can get.You'll be rushing a lot.Easier achievement to do in multiplayer,as only one player needs to do it.Will require practice,synchro,reflexes and make you rage.Take with you good friends and be sure to watch for fall damage,as it counts.Abuse Tactical dive and run away often.Go to the teleporter as soon as you can,and most importantly,watch for the black imps.Those guys will teleport on you and quickly attack,ruining easily a good started run.With practice,you should be good though.

Enforcer.
Unlock Achivement:Beat the Magma Worm,Wandering Vagrant and Colossus.

Easy one.You'll just need to beat those 3 bosses,and they're common ones.No need to grind,just play the game and it'll come naturally!

First achievement:Block 2000 damage total with your shield.
Unlocks:Spikestrip

Do it alongside the second one!

Second Achievement:Stay in shield mode for 5 minutes (In combat)
Unlocks:Prescription

Ok so easiest tactic for that one is to abuse the Rock Golem/Sand Crab's not being able to jump trait.You'll want to go to a Dried lake for this one.Then,activate the teleporter and find someplace with bumpy terrain.A sand crab should spawn (unless if you're unlucky) close to a bump.Defeat everyone but the sand crab.Then go on the bump and get shield mode on.Might seem complicated,but here's a picture explaining you everything!










Bandit.
Unlock achievement:Beat stage 3

Will happen someday.You play through the game!

First achievement:Kill a boss with Light's out
Unlocks:Pillaged Gold

Get it to low health and use light's out.Simple.Glass artifact helps a lot!

Second achievement:Reset your cooldown 15 times consecutively
Unlocks:The Hit List

Just weaken enemies and use light's out.Here you need to get a Kill with Light's out 15 times in a row,but you can use other skills and you can kill enemies without light's out!Simply use it when it's 100% sure to do a kill.Glass+Kin for Lemurian/Jellyfish is pretty useful here.

Huntress.
Unlock achievement:Get 15 monster logs

Just play through the game,comes with times.Monster logs might drop from enemies you kill,but it's a kinda low chance.No grinding needed here,just pure luck!Good luck!

First achievement:Achieve 200% attack speed
Unlocks:Hermit's Scarf

Soldier's Syringe.Enough said.Get Command and just get those as whites..You'll get it pretty fast.

Second achievement:Kill the Ancient Wisp without taking damage.
Unlocks:Predatory Instincts

The Ancient Wisp is a pretty easy to beat boss.If you're on a good run,you should not have difficulty with this achievement (On those 120 mins+ runs where you've got so much items you don't know what to do with them..Yeeaaaah..).You could also hit him from far away since of the Huntress' shots having infinite range,making only the other enemies a threat to you.Overall easy achievement and should be recieved on a good run naturally.

HAN-D.
Unlock achievement:Find the Robot Janitor

Located in the Risk of Rain level.Check back Chapter 1 for more info!

First Achievement:Kill 10 enemies simultaneously with FORCED-REASSEMBLY
Unlocks:Arms Race

Gather a horde of 10+ lemurians while having Glass artifact on,get a Shield Generator use item (Command artifact OP) and use FORCED-REASSEMBLY.Should be enough to get the achievement.If not,use it again!

Second Achievement:Stay above 70% health for 25 mins
Unlocks:Shield Generator

Looks hard,is not.Get a level with only lemurians with Kin.Get on a rope as soon as you can.Wait it out.Profit

Engineer.
Unlock achievement:Purchase 40 drones total

Buy a lot of drones!That's all there is about it,really.Comes with time

First achievement:Detonate 15 Bounding Mine in under 5 seconds
Unlocks:Sticky Bomb

Just wait until you have 15,and put them all on the same spot.Wait for someone to walk by,and BAM

Second achievement:Kill a boss in under 15 seconds
Unlocks:Concussion Grenade

Sounds hard,isn't that much.Just place 15 Bounding Mines close to the teleporter,activate it,and make the boss walk on it.Easier if the boss is the Colossus (you can easily trap him).Put both turrets around him after that,and deal the most damage you can.Shouldn't be too hard.
Specific character achievements 2/2
Miner.
Unlock achievement:Clear a path for the survivor

Go see Chapter 1 of the Handbook!

First achievement:Survive the teleporter event without falling under 50% health
Unlocks:Panic Mine

Can be done on any teleporter events,but easily on the first one too.Get the Lemurian enemies thanks to Kin artifact,and activate teleporter.Get on a rope.Wait until the 90 seconds are done.Use To The Stars on the horde that built up under you,go back on the rope,repeat until everyone is dead.You got the achievement

Second achievement:Reach level 10 without being hurt more then once
Unlocks:Shattering Justice

Hard one.Get a level with only lemurians,and spam until you reach level 10.Your dashes and To the stars will help a lot on not getting hit.Get Glass,Command,Kin and Sacrifice artifacts,those will help you a lot.Make sure you don't get fall damage,and remember:You CAN get hit,but just ONCE!


Sniper.
Unlock achievement:Beat the game

Kill Providence.Comes with time,easy one.

First achievement:Achieve 20 consecutive perfect reloads.
Unlocks:Crudely Drawn Buddy

Takes practice.After a teleporter event,try to get 20 reloads in a row.To get one,you need to reload with the bar ON THE WHITE PART!You'll hear a harsher sound whenever you achieve perfect reload.Takes time,practice,and a bit of rage!Easier to do on 2x zoom then 1x.

Second achievement:1-shot kill 10 enemies consecutively
Unlocks:Telescopic Sight

Get a Jellyfish-only or Lemurian-only level wtih Kin,and add to that Glass artifact.Make sure you don't miss,as that breaks the chain!

Acrid.
Unlock achievement:Free the chained creature

Chapter 1 of the Handbook will give you much more infos!

First achievement:Spread 10'000 feets of Caustic Sludge
Unlocks:Toxic Worm

Simply use the move as much as you can,and it should unlock with time.Poison the Earth!

Second achievement:Spread Epidemic to 25 enemies
Unlocks:Massive Leech

Sounds really easy..Because it's not clear.It's more like..Spread Epidemic to 25 enemies WITH A SINGLE EPIDEMIC!Sounds harder yet?It should.But here's the trick:Get a Jellyfish only level with Kin,add Glass to that.Go to the teleporter,and at least 25 of them should arrive.Make them form one big group,and use epidemic on one.Wait for the achievement pop up!


Mercenary.
Unlock achievement:Beat the game 5 times

Just a longer version of Sniper's.Comes with time,not that hard.

First achievement:Eviscerate 50 enemies
Unlocks:Chargefield Generator

Just kill 50 enemies with Eviscerate.Glass artifact helps!

Second achievement:Beat the game on Monsoon difficulty
Unlocks:Ancient Scepter

Monsoon makes the game harder.It's just like beating the game,but harder.This one might give you problems,but there isn't a lot of tips to give.Be careful,get good artifacts (Glass/ Sacrifice/ Command!) and do exactly like you would on a normal game,but for harder.Good luck!

Loader.
Unlock achievement:Get 30 items in one playthrough (Different items!)

Use command artifact.Best tip ever.Should be easy.

First achievement:Travel 20'000 feets with Hydraulic Gauntlet.
Unlocks:Taser

Easy one.Just use it a lot and it'll pop up some days.Just like Acrid's Caustic sludge!

Second achievement:Beat the Overloading Magma Worm
Unlocks:Nothing,bugged

The magma worm,on higher difficulties,might get electric blue and become much,much harder.Beat that thing! (THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS BUGGED.IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK RIGHT NOW)

CHEF
Unlock achievement:Obtain Meat Nugget,Bustling Fungus,Sprouting Egg,Bitter Root and Foreign Fruit in one run

Command artifact.You'll need 4 whites and 1 use item to do that.Really not so hard!

First achievement:SEAR/FLAMBE 20 SAND CRABS
Unlocks:Interstellar Desk Plant

Kill sand crabs with your fire ability.Not that hard!Glass artifact helps,Kin too.

Second achievement:Have 20 Cleavers out at once.

Looks hard,but requires 1 item:Shattered Mirror,the use item.Upgrade your DICE ability,use the mirror,use BOOSTED DICE and use DICE until it pops up.
Ending of Chapter 6

Macintosh - 9 Jan, 2018 @ 5:46pm 
The amount of effort you put into these is amazing.
Great job man. Thank you for the help.
Xgpmcnp  [author] 25 Nov, 2015 @ 8:31pm 
I actually have never tried Drizzle mode, so I wouldn't know, sorry
Hyperinvox 25 Nov, 2015 @ 8:13pm 
so can i unlock chars on drizzle mode? i hear you can unlock items but i dont know
Xgpmcnp  [author] 20 Jul, 2015 @ 8:36pm 
Yep, same here. It's really annoying! I wish they fixed that, but if Risk of Rain ever got an update... And if it fixed multiplayer and all the bugs.. Well I might put another 150 hours on it
Hope's Belonging 20 Jul, 2015 @ 7:56pm 
AAAHHHHHHH.... why did I not know that the overloading magma worm achievment was BUGGED?! I killed that thing, like 4 times, taking an hour each! Ugh...
Xgpmcnp  [author] 6 Mar, 2015 @ 5:37pm 
So guys,I know I usually do one chapter a day,but I've been overworking so I'm taking a single day pause.See you guys tomorrow! :heartoful:
Xgpmcnp  [author] 6 Mar, 2015 @ 8:37am 
Well,those are nice tips,especially the Shield Slam.

Problem with Honor,is the explosive enemies.They throw missiles..Which is often going to hurt you or stress you.While Kin is a good idea,I often fell on Black Imps with it,so rage-inducing and really based on how lucky you are to fall on weak enemies.And yeah,Hopoo Feathers are very good,especially alongside Rusty Jetpacks for the great slowdown and the high jumps

For your third point,I thought I said that already,but guess I didn't and will do it now,thanks!

Fourth one,I thought no one but me played in 1x zoom! o:
I'll add it because just mentioning it means I'm not,but woot!I'm not the only one!

Thanks for the very complete feedback! :happycthulhu:

Mind if I add a few tips myself:

- Drown 20 Whorls - This is easy to do with Enforcer's Shield Slam

- Activate the third teleporter without being hurt once - For me it was easier than I thought it would be. Along with Command, I also used Honor (smaller count of enemies) and Kin (no bosses), and just rushed. Also, at least one Hopoo Feather is usefull, since you can slow yourself down while falling (or you can just do that by using Tactical Dive)

- Reset your cooldown 15 times consecutively - Glass + Kin (lemurians)

- Achieve 20 consecutive perfect reloads - Easier if you zoom in

Best guide so far, exactly the one I was looking for :)
