Dust: An Elysian Tail Achievement Guide

Overview

Collection of all achievement guides.

Introduction

This guide serves as a wrapper for other guides. I’ll link most of the guides in the guide section here to make it easier to look.

Tutorial Achievements

Obtained by following tutorials.

The first Treasure Chest should be easy to find. There is also a Treasure Chest in Aurora Village so all you have to do is to get a key (which is easily obtained in the first few areas). In order to unlock the Treasure Chest, press the arrow which is shown in the right side of the key before the time runs out.

You’ll find it in the first few areas.

Press K, L (while still holding K) to activate Dust Storm with Projectiles.

You have to level up to unlock this tutorial.

Storyline Achievements

Obtained through story progression and can’t be missed.

Defeat the first boss.

Defeat the second boss.

Defeat the third boss.

Defeat the final boss.

Killing Achievements

It shouldn’t be hard to get this. I get it in Chapter 1.

You’ll unlock sliding attack in Chapter 2. Do it on any of the weaker enemies to make it easier.

Follow this guide.
If you follow the guide, you can get the achievement when you go to Forgotten Meadow.

Combo Achievements

There are a lot of guides for this. I personally use this guide.
If you follow the guide, you can get the achievement when you go to Forgotten Meadow.
Note that there is also a sidequest for this at the end of Chapter 1.

Sidequests Achievements

Go to the Blacksmith in Archers’ Pass. Obtainable after you finish the first objective of “The Blacksmith” sidequest.

In “Out to Dry” sidequest, you are tasked to go to Ivydale Glen to save a kid. After you killed two giants, head down below and save in a separate slot (or just make sure you didn’t hit another save point before you finish the quest). You’ll find a basket on the west and you’ll be given two options. The option that you choose will determine the achievement that you’ll get. Report the quest and load the game after you get an achievement and choose the other option to get both of them in one go.

Fale is in Aurora Village. There are 6 quests in total which consists of ingredients gathering. You can buy the ingredients in the shop (after registering the items). Obtainable in Chapter 1 after Abadis Forest is unlocked.
This[elysiantail.wikia.com] material list can help you if you don’t want to buy the materials to complete the sidequests.

Complete “Snowflake” sidequest. Available at the end of Chapter 2 and clearable after Blackmoor Mountains is unlocked in Chapter 3. In order to finish the sidequest, go to the circled area in the picture below in Blackmoor Mountains and drop down in the unstable platform near a tent in the background and head west to get a Cooler.
After that, go to the save point to the east for a cutscene. Report to Bopo in Mudpot.

There are 21 sidequests in total. There is a sidequest list here.
The guide list all but one sidequest: A New Venture, which is obtainable by talking to any merchant outside Aurora Village.

Challenge Arena Achievements

Follow this guide.
It’s recommended to do the first two trials later on since it involves in killing enemies.
For Cirelian Trial #4, you can either pass through the zombies or do the trial later on to kill them easily.

Friends Achievements

There is a cage list here.

Note that you need to get all upgrades and resonance stones in order to save all Friends. Here are the upgrade lists:
– Chapter 2: sliding
– Chapter 3: gripping vine
– Chapter 4: double jump
– Chapter 5: jump boost (in wind current)

After you rescue all Friends, go to Sanctuary to get the achievement.

Other Achievements

Talk to Matti in Archers’ Pass 5 times.

Self explanatory.

It’s easier to do this from a save point in case you messed up.

In Everdawn Basin, destroy all 4 Cannons.

Tough is easier than Hardcore.
In Tough difficulty, you can recover a maximum of one bar of health in a save point.
