Check card and letter achievements

For Back to Life and X Marks the Spot, activate the event through a card before visiting the location. For Snoot and GreyBird, check Post Box letters after progression.

Having 60 upgrades alone does not establish event completion. Compare activation, letters and visits in quests.

Distinguish shop purchases from Strength 10

For Strengthened Sword, Sharper Arrows and Feeling Stronger, check shop purchases. For Strongest Sword and Sharpest Arrows reaching 10, increase the value through shops or upgrade cards.

Even achievements involving the same sword or arrow upgrade distinguish the first purchase from reaching 10. Check purchase history and current value 10 separately.

Practice Boss Rush's three achievements separately

The three conditions are normal completion, Hard completion and zero deaths. Do not merge Hard and zero deaths into a requirement to achieve both in a single attempt.

This mode does not carry over every main-story upgrade; it uses predetermined upgrades after each boss. A main-story sword at 10 alone does not guarantee Boss Rush damage.

  1. Advance the story and 60 upgrades, then unlock it through Final Gate.
  2. Choose Boss Rush from the main menu.
  3. Learn attacks and upgrade choices through normal completion.
  4. Aim for Hard completion and check zero deaths in a separate attempt too.

Do not damage the original save while checking achievements

Instead of treating save replacement or force-quitting as standard steps, use normal in-game menus to check difficulty and mode. For a locked achievement, first inspect the relevant card, purchase or visit.

Even when pursuing all achievements on one save, read required event-card choices. No hands-on guarantee is made that every platform has no permanent missables.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 Does Hard Boss Rush also require zero deaths? ▼
A

Hard completion and zero deaths are separate achievements. Separate practice and attempts instead of assuming all three conditions must be achieved together.

Q2 Can I use my main-story level 10 sword in Boss Rush? ▼
A

The full main-story upgrades do not carry over. Prepare for a mode using predetermined upgrades after bosses.

Q3 How many achievements are there now? ▼
A

The public Steam list checked by the source on 2026-10-12 had 44. Distinguish this from other platforms' achievement systems or future changes.
