Overview
In this guide, I’ll explain how to get all the achievements. It contains spoilers.
Intro
Hello and welcome to my achievement guide.
This guide will contain spoilers, if you don’t want those, turn away and play the game first. I hope you’ll enjoy the game. Tip for moping up as many achievements without using a guide: talk to everybody and explore every area for chests and stars.
I started this guide because I missed a guide where you can see each achievement listed by adventure, so that is when I decided to start making one myself.
English is not my native language, so please forgive me for my grammar and spelling errors.
I’ve used information from the following guide: Xbox Achievement Guide Riverbond [www.xboxachievements.com]
General Achievements
This section will list the achievements that are not specific for any level.
All the following achievements are doable in the first adventure “Restwater Valley” where there are a lot of chickens that don’t attack you. Watch out for the roosters that will attack. I did this very early in the game so they are out of the way and that I don’t have to focus on them anymore during the rest of the game.
Defeat 20 enemies with any Sword
Defeat 20 enemies with any Gun
Defeat 20 enemies with any Club
Defeat 20 enemies with any Spear
Defeat 20 enemies with any Slap Weapon
Defeat 20 enemies with any Dual Weapon
You can find your first few skins in “King’s Garden” an option in the main menu. Others you’ll find spread throughout the whole game in chests. Keep exploring each area to find them. There are more than 35 skins in the game. If you’re missing skins for this achievement after beating the game, you can replay earlier levels and find new ones in chests you opened earlier.
Unlock 5 Skins
Unlock 15 Skins
Unlock 25 Skins
Unlock 35 Skins
Stars area hidden through the game. Almost every area has a star. To make those achievements easier, picking up earlier collected stars count as well. On the first adventure, the star is very close by. If you quit to the main menu and enter again and pick it up, it will count again. The restart button doesn’t work. You have to quit to the main menu.
Collect 5 Stars
Collect 15 Stars
Collect 25 Stars
Collect 35 Stars
Each adventure ends with a boss. You’ll get an achievement for defeating a specific boss and after you’ve slain the first 8 you’ll unlock:
Defeat All Bosses
