Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rotate multiple saves using the autosave and manual saving features. Save before risky gambling or major fights.
  2. 2
    Avoid investing too heavily in side content until you unlock the Akame Network, as some "Stroll 'n Patrol" missions require minigames that also count towards the Activity Log.
  3. 3
    Keep a good amount of food, like bentos and sushi for big health gains, in your inventory alongside typical "energy drink" healing items due to limited space.
  4. 4
    Prioritize the first four Health and Attack abilities for easier early chapters. In later chapters, spend money on "EX" Health and Attack upgrades. Kiwami upgrades are likely unnecessary unless aiming for full Coliseum content.
  5. 5
    When facing tough enemies and weapons are available, use them like bikes or signs for high-priority attacks instead of direct combat.
  6. 6
    If a fight is unfavorable, run away and find a hiding spot; there is no penalty for running.
  7. 7
    Drinking alcohol speeds up Heat Gauge (your special attack meter) charging but can impair movement if your Drunk meter gets too high. Most liquid items can slightly lower your Drunk meter.
  8. 8
    Completing activities in your Activity Log and doing Requests earns Akame Points needed for upgrades.
  9. 9
    The Coliseum, especially Rumble 100, is the best source for significant money with minimal effort.
Tips
  • Save before any high-risk activities like gambling or tough battles.
  • Unlock the Akame Network before committing to extensive side content.
  • Stock up on food items like bentos and sushi for efficient health restoration.
  • Focus on early Health and Attack ability upgrades, then move to "EX" upgrades for later chapters.
  • Utilize environmental weapons against strong foes for an advantage.
  • Running away from difficult fights is a viable tactic with no repercussions.
  • Be mindful of alcohol consumption, as it affects movement control when your Drunk meter is high.
  • Akame Points from the Activity Log and Requests are crucial for upgrades.
  • The Coliseum offers the most lucrative rewards for your time, particularly Rumble 100.
