Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A Vacation In The Wilds: Defeat every boss in Inkwell Isle IV. This includes The Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, Glumstone The Giant, Mortimer Freeze, and The Howling Aces.
  2. 2
    Ranger: Obtain an A-Rank or higher on all bosses in Inkwell Isle IV. This requires defeating the boss in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, having at least 3HP left, and landing three parries and six special attacks. The DLC's two secret bosses count towards this.
  3. 3
    Alive And Kicking: Defeat any boss with Ms. Chalice. Equip the Astral Cookie charm and defeat any main boss from Inkwell Isle I to IV, including DLC bosses and original favorites.
  4. 4
    Decadent: Defeat 10 main bosses with Ms. Chalice. Equip a new DLC weapon and defeat every boss on Inkwell Isle I and II on Simple or Regular difficulty.
  5. 5
    The Golden Touch: Defeat a boss with one of Ms. Chalice's Super Arts. Super Art I is recommended for bosses like the Announcer Snail or Psycarrot.
  6. 6
    The Latest Sensation: Defeat a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons (Converge, Crackshot, or Twist-Up).
  7. 7
    Checkmate: Defeat all of the King Of Games' Champions (The Pawns, The Knight, The Bishop, The Rook, and The Queen). This must be done without weapons or charms, relying solely on parrying. Ms. Chalice's dash parry is helpful.
  8. 8
    A King's Admiration: Defeat the King's Gauntlet. After defeating the Champions, take on all five mini-bosses in sequence without failing.
  9. 9
    Compliments To The Chef: Complete your quest on Inkwell Isle IV by defeating all five main bosses and collecting the five ingredients for the Wondertart to face Chef Saltbaker.
  10. 10
    Cooked To Perfection: Get an S-Rank on a stage of Inkwell Isle IV. This requires completing a stage on Expert difficulty (unlocked after finishing the main story and beating The Devil) with the same criteria as an A-Rank. The Moonshine Mob is a recommended target.
  11. 11
    The High Hat: Defeat a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any of its minions. Esther Winchester in "High Noon Hoopla" is a good candidate, as only the mini-cow is kill-able.
  12. 12
    Hearty: Have 9HP at one time. Equip the Twin Heart charm and use Djimmi The Great's wish for an additional 3HP. Alternatively, try the same strategy outside King Dice's Casino or combine the Heart Ring charm with Djimmi for 9HP after six successful parries.
  13. 13
    A Horrible Night To Have A Curse (Secret): Obtain the Broken Relic charm from Porkrind's Emporium and use it to solve the riddle near the southeast side of Isle IV.
  14. 14
    Paladin (Secret): Completing "A Horrible Night To Have A Curse" unlocks the Cursed Relic. Beat seven or more bosses on Regular or Expert difficulty with the Cursed Relic equipped to transform it into the Divine Relic, which offers increased HP and additional abilities.
