Critical Hit Achievement Question

[JackleBull]

I played the game through on Tactician with Gale using the speedrun strategy and completed the game. I got the achievement for killing the Netherbrain and destroying the tadpoles, even though the tadpoles weren't destroyed , but I didn't get Critical Hit. The credits even rolled. Is that a glitch, or can you not get the achievement through that ending?

I just finished this run myself and also did not get Critical Hit.

It's possible that the achievement is only granted for finishing all three acts on Tactician, which is rather disappointing.

How does that work? and what rules is it to trigger these achievements?

Like, can I switch to normal outside combat? or do I have to start with Tactician mode and never change until the end?

And what @WackFiend just wrote,
How much game content do you need to finish with Tactician mode to get this achievement?

I have this achievement, and there are a few things I can note. I started the game on tactician, earlier on I played with a save branched where I was a lower difficulty so I could cheese that fire sword you can get early. I did that, but decided to rollback to before I lowered the difficulty. I then played through tactician without **ever** switching to a lower difficulty. I still got the achievement. From everything i'm seeing online, it also seems like there is a flag whenever you lower the difficulty. Without rerolling to before you did this switch you won't be able to get the achievement. You also need to finish the Act 3 ending all the way through. There are some decisions you can make that would give you a "gameover" ending but I imagine those wouldn't count. So in short, don't ever switch at any point in your tactician playthrough and play through to the very end of the content for critical hit. No skipping final fight for a gameover ending. Hope this helps.
