Stone Mask
“Find a Stone Mask.” On Inlaid Library, from the start run to the right while hugging the top wall. After a couple of minutes you will see a mask sitting in an alcove. Pick this up and complete the run and you will get the achievement. Also worth noting, if you run left from the start, you can instead find an Empty Tome drop.
Vandalier
“Unite Ebony Wings and Peachone.”
- First you have to unlock Peachone by surviving 10 minutes with any character.
- Take Peachone in a subsequent run and reach level 7 with it to unlock Ebony Wings.
- In yet another subsequent run, take Peachone and Ebony Wings and reach max level with both.
- After both are at max level, find a chest from an elite monster and you have a high chance of getting Vandalier, which will look like a neon dove which can be continued to be upgraded. Once you select this and finish the run, you will get the achievement.
It is worth noting that Peachone and Ebony WIngs are not particularly strong or reliable at first, so it may be good to rely on other items for your early game and upgrade these later. Generally I will try to establish my early game setup with a couple of reliable weapons, and then take Peachone and Ebony wings at level 1 when offered. I will leave them at level 1 as long as I can unless I don’t want either of the other items offered at level up. Near the end of the run, you will find them leveling up from not wanting to take other items, from chests, and when you don’t have any other option. High level Peachone and Ebony Wings are perfectly functional, but Vandalier can be extremely powerful and help with the end-game run.
Green Acres
Unlock Hyper Mode for 2 stages. You can do this by just beating runs on the maps. For tips that make it easier to beat runs, read the last section on general tips.
Suor Clerici
Recover a total of 1,000 HP. To get this achievement while healing, you have to heal while injured. Eating 100,000 floor chickens will not matter if you are at full health from my own tests. If anyone finds this not to be correct, let me know and I’ll revise.
The easiest way I found to do this is to start the map with Antonio to guarantee the whip. Over the course of the run, the important items to get are Hollow Heart, Pummarola, and armor (but this is less important). It is helpful to have the power-ups for recovery, max health, and armor as well. Notably, you do NOT want to take Garlic, the King Bible, or Laurel for this.
At the very start of the run, work on upgrading the whip while regularly running into enemies to hurt yourself down to 50-75% health. Whenever you find chicken, hurt yourself before eating it. The health recovery powerup and Pummarola when you find it will help provide passive recovery throughout. As soon as you are able to, get Whip to level 8 and Hollow Heart so you can get the evolved whip (Bloody Tear). This provides life steal and good damage. Armor will help with controlling the damage you take throughout so you don’t accidentally die later while hurting yourself.
Otherwise, fill the remainder of your slots with good weapons that are not Garlic (which kills weaker enemies too fast and pushes enemies away) and Laurel (which provides invincibility). In my run I used Axe (which unfortunately I could not get Candelabrador to evolve), Spinach, Holy Wand (Magic Wand + Empty Tome), Heaven Sword (Cross + Clover), and Vandalier (Peachone + Ebony Wings), and Duplicator ring, and Lancet (Which helped quite a bit at the very end). I didn’t have armor.
At the end of the run if you are still alive around 28 – 29 minutes, most enemies will be dropping red gems and you will be getting rapid upgrades. WIth a max level Hollow Heart, Pummarola, Bloody Tear, recovery and armor power ups, you will be able to run over the enemies to bring yourself to half health easily and get rapid level ups at which point you can buy floor chicken for health (Assuming everything is max level). The achievement is really easy to get with this combination, and the ending was surprisingly easy.
Dommario
Earn 5,000 coins in a single run. To do this, the simplest way is to buy the greed powerup to 5 points before starting your run. Start the run on Inlaid Library (I always recommend Hyper, since it just feels better to me), and run to the right to get the Stone Mask. If you then win the run (Read the general tips section below for tips on this) you will get around 8,000 – 13,000 gold. This is also a great way to farm for gold for power-ups.
Empty Tome
This one is fairly intuitive, but I want to provide a list of weapons (not including evolutions):
- Whip
- Magic Wand
- Knife
- Axe
- Cross
- King Bible
- Fire Wand
- Garlic
- Peachone
- Ebony Wings
- Santa Water
- Runetracer
- Lightning Ring
- Clock Lancet
- Pentagram
Evolving Weapons
Every weapon evolution is an achievement. Evolving weapons happens by combining a max level weapon with any level of a specific secondary support item. The combinations of items are
as follows:
- Bloody Tear – Whip + Hollow Heart
- Holy Wand – Magic Wand + Empty Tomb
- Thousand Edge – Knife + Bracer
- Death Spiral – Axe + Candelabrador
- Heaven Sword – Cross + Clover
- Unholy Vespers – King BIble + Spellbinder
- Hellfire – Fire Wand + Spinach
- Soul Eater – Garlic + Pummarola
