Charmed

To acquire this achievement, well... You will have to obtain a single amulet, it can be any one, one from Salubra, Fury of the Fallen, Soulcatcher, whichever you want

Enchanted

Get half of the game's achievements. This isn't really an achievement I recommend you go for; you'll get it on your own :3

Blessed

You must obtain all the amulets and receive Salubra's blessing. Once you have all the amulets (which, I repeat, is normal; you'll get them on your own :3), go to Salubra. She will give you her blessing, and every time you sit on a bench, she will give you Soul.

Protection

Acquire 4 mask fragments

(Yeah, You can also get it on your own, if you don't have it, here's a tip: there's one by defeating the Mawlek incubator in Crossroads, then Sly sells you several and there's another one in Crossroads.)

Masked

Acquire all Mask Shards

(You'll figure it out yourself, it's perfectly normal. I suggest you watch some YouTube videos that explain its location )

Soulful

Acquire 3 Vessel Fragments

Sly will sell you some, and they're scattered around the map, so go find them! Mueheheh >:D

WorldSoul

Acquire all Vessel Fragments

Just keep searching XDDD

(Well, I recommend you watch a video of the locations here too)

FalseHood

Defeat the fake knight in Crossroads. Well, it's easy :3 (A tip from a semi-professional, addicted gamer with 3 problems: Just learn the patterns and try to dodge)

Strenght

Welllllllll, you'll have to defeat the dream version of the False Knight. You'll need the Dream Nail, and go to the room above the False Knight's fight room and break a wall. You'll find some little creatures; kill them and use the Dream Nail on one of them to enter the fight. (I recommend knowing the attack patterns and using speed and damage charms.)

Tip: Don’t panic… unless you enjoy rage-quitting XDDD

Test of Resolve

Defeat Hornet in Greenpath

Hornet, it's pretty difficult, just look at her amazing body and let yourself go (Huh?) Uhh, learn her patterns and take advantage of them to heal, that's my tip, use +soul amulets (Hehehehehe :3)

Proof of Resolve

Defeat Hornet in Kingdom's Edge

Here, I recommend you learn... THE PATTERNS A LOT.... Yes, there won't be time to see her body here, (My advice :3 ; Well, I recommend damage and range amulets)

Illumination

Defeat the Soul Master

(I recommend only using damage amulets, and spell+soul damage; it's not a very difficult boss. :D)

Release

Defeat the Broken Vessel

(Hmm, a boss that's going to give you a few problems, I highly recommend range + hearts)

Luckkkkk! :3

Peace

Defeat the Lost Kin

(Here, I would recommend learning the patterns UnU, [The key is in the patterns :ooooo])

To access its fight, you must use the Dream Nail on the Broken Vessel's body

Honour

Defeat the Dung Defender

Boss, pretty easy, it beats itself XD, (Okay, no) Ehh, if you're having trouble, learn the patterns, man

Respect

Defeat the Mantis Lords

(A boss, difficult at the beginning of the game, I recommend waiting until later, but if you're a masochist and want to go... Um, its attack is practically a dance, so learn to move with them)

Obsession

Defeat the Collector

(Boss is pretty easy, noob easy hehehah, if it's difficult, just learn the patterns and have a good amulet build and you're good to go)

Rivalry

Defeat Zote in the Colosseum of Fools

GOD, BOSS IS SUPER DIFFICULT, NO NO, EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, HORRIBLE, JUST UNINSTALL THE GAME [Just kidding heh, uhmm, Zote can't hurt you and you can hit him without risk :D]

Attunement

Collect 600 Essence

You'll manage it on your own; defeating two dream bosses will be enough. :3

Awakening

Collect 1800 Essence and awaken the Dream Nail

You'll get it on your own Hehe ¬.¬, but try to find the locations of the dream bosses

Ascension

Collect 2400 Essence and hear the Seer's final words

Defeat all the dream bosses and try to complete the trees :3

GrubFriend

Rescue half of the imprisoned grubs

Just Google its location and you're done, or when you beat the collector you'll get a map with its location.

Metamorphosis

Rescue all of the imprisoned grubs

Obviously, with the collector's map this would be easier, right? >:c

Neglect

Weeeeelllllll, this achievement can be avoided; you just have to avoid killing the vengeful fly in Greenpath. But if you did kill it, you'll have to start a new game. D:<

Purity

Slay the Nailsmith with the Pure Nail

I'll get straight to the point: you'll need to get the Pure Nail with all its upgrades. Look for the Pale Ore, and he'll ask you to kill him with that nail. Just do it! :D

Happy Couple

Allow the Nailsmith to find a new calling

Aww, unfortunately, for this achievement you'll have to start a new game, you'll need to leave the Nailsmith alive, and well, you'll also need to get Sheo's Nail Art, and then when you go to Sheo's house, you'll find Sheo and the Nailsmith and he'll give you your achievement :3

Witness

This achievement is unlocked when you upgrade from the Kingsoul amulet to the Voidheart amulet. First, you must obtain Kingsoul by speaking to the White Lady in the Queen's Gardens. Then, you must complete the White Palace (you must first have your Dream Nail fully awakened). The White Palace isn't too difficult, by any means.

Afterward, equip Kingsoul and go to the Bottom of the Abyss. Along a path, you'll find a basin containing your reflection. Strike it with the Dream Nail to obtain the Voidheart amulet. Obtaining it grants the achievement, and the amulet cannot be unequipped.
