Tips
  • To achieve an A-Rank or higher on Inkwell Isle IV bosses (for 'Ranger'), defeat them in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, maintain at least 3HP, and perform three parries and six special attacks.
  • For 'Alive And Kicking' and 'Decadent', defeating bosses with Ms. Chalice is key. Equip the Astral Cookie charm and utilize her dash parry.
  • 'The Golden Touch' requires defeating a boss with one of Ms. Chalice's Super Arts. Super Art I is recommended.
  • 'The Latest Sensation' involves defeating a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons like Converge, Crackshot, or Twist-Up.
  • 'Checkmate' and 'A King's Admiration' involve defeating the King Of Games' Champions and The Gauntlet, respectively. Ms. Chalice is particularly helpful here due to her dash parry.
  • 'Compliments To The Chef' requires defeating all five main bosses on Inkwell Isle IV. Chef Saltbaker is the final boss.
  • 'Cooked To Perfection' requires an S-Rank on an Inkwell Isle IV stage, achievable on Expert difficulty. The Moonshine Mob is a suggested target.
  • 'The High Hat' requires defeating a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any minions; Esther Winchester is a good candidate.
  • 'Hearty' requires having 9HP at one time. Combine the Twin Heart charm with Djimmi The Great's wishes, or use the Heart Ring charm with Ms. Chalice's parry abilities.
  • 'A Horrible Night To Have A Curse' and 'Paladin' are secret achievements involving the Broken Relic and Cursed Relic charms, found on Isle IV.
