Overview
Technically every achievement is missable except "We did it" (unless you don't complete the game)

(This guide may contain slight spoilers but unless a word is hidden then you'll find out about it soon anyway.)

If you're opening this guide before even starting the game, read your future abilities before upgrading anything so that you know what traits will affect what abilities. Basically just read everything in your scrolls.

A lot of the achievements are self explanatory in their descriptions but hopefully this guide will help avoid any confusion.

Have fun!

Difficulty Level: 2/5 (Slightly Time Consuming)
Estimated Time to Completion: 9-18 hours (depending on how quickly you complete the game)
Stonecruncher


This achievement simply requires you to break a Boulder into rocks with the pickaxe you get in the first room of the entire game. Boulders will be found all over the game but the first place you can do this is in the first room (where you find the pickaxe.)
Insect Lore


When you reach the temple (beginning of Chapter Four) and are shrunk, walk to the right and clear out ALL of the bugs before going to the left and entering the temple.
Zeta Tester


At the beginning of Chapter Five, right after you turn back to normal size, you can activate the zombies to fight them. Beat them to unlock this achievement.
Cleanser


In Chapter Five, when you enter Samuel's room, simply exhaust his spellbook that is located on his desk until you beat all tiers.
Arena Achievements
Long story short: These achievements are all completed by beating their respective arena battles.

The first battles are in Chapter Seven while your party is in jail. Once you have completed all other Arena Battles, beat Akmeismus and move on to the Elite League House.

Inside the Elite League House you will be given many other Arena options. Simply complete the Beggar, Summonong, Animal, Barbarian, and Knight battles before fighting Leviathan.

A few tips I can give you for this is to try to accumulate as much gold as you can and buy the items that Ganario or the Automat sells instead of buying back all your old items. (Get both but what I'm saying is don't rely on your old items.)

If you can't beat the next battle, try some other ones.

Pandora's Box Battles can be farmed for infinite gold. (I believe)

Once you have the right equipment and assuming you upgraded your characters in logical ways, it should be easy to beat the remaining tiers and leviathan even if you just used Auto fight.

Combat Tips

Use a summoning right away to tank damage and deal damage.

Combine Fireballs with Tornados to deal DOT while keeping enemies away for Ranged weapons to take out. (Or stall until they reach you)

Save your Force Jump for when you are surrounded with a multitude of enemies to maximize damage output.

Calculate the damage dealt to a player so that you know whether or not you have to heal them before the next round.

Right click enemies to check their weaknesses, and in some cases simply "Auto" battle new enemies the first time around so you're familiar with how their mechanics work.

IMPORTANT: Can't stress this enough as it's already been said in the overview: Read your future abilities before upgrading anything so that you know what traits will affect what abilities.
Unapproachable


Super easy; not much tactic here just kill them all.

Check the "Arena Achievements" section for tips on overall combat.
Desummonizer


This one was hard for me and I had to come back after doing a few of the other Arena Battles.

Animalized


This was the second easiest after the Beggar tiers. Try to distract the Polar Bear with your summoning and take out the lioness as soon as you can (does a good amount of damage.) You can possess the lion to help take his mate out.

Check the "Arena Achievements" section for tips on overall combat.
Barbarossa


THE BOW SHOTS. For this one I highly recommend having Orcish Arrows and the gun that is purchased from the Automat to take out the ranged combatants as soon as possible. Use your cleric and summoning to tank the shots. If you use the Reflector shield on Zenn it will make it much easier.

Check the "Arena Achievements" section for tips on overall combat.
Tourney Machine


Basically a straight upgrade from the Beggar Tiers so there's not much to say other than I hope you have better equipment than when you fought the Beggars.

We did it


Beat the game and this will unlock.
Closing
This is a great game and there were no achievement guides so I had to make one to help those who struggled where I did.

If there's anything incorrect or there's anything you'd like to add or comment on please leave feedback.

Thank you for reading!

Hi! Nice guide, but you've missed the "treasure digger" achievement
