Achievements Difficulty?

[Ranculos]

I used to be an Achievement Hunter. Not so much those days when I have kids :-)
What I really liked about Bastion/Transistor Steam Achievement - that they were access-able. You would get 90% of them just by playing the game and finishing it, and the other 10% weren't like super Crazy and actually contributed to the fan. Are Hades achievements also access-able? (without spoiling the story). Or there's some - "Finish the game blindfolded with one hand behind your back" kind of achievements like many rogue games has? or some that takes many hours spent into the game?

Yeah the achievements are easy - but you will have to sink 80-100 hours in to unlock everything. One of the hardest tasks in the game isn't even an achievement at all - so SG made them super easy this time round.

There're some achievements that require quite a bit of time and resource grinding to complete (like reaching the epilogue and completing certain prophecies), but other than that there's nothing crazy.

I remember someone asking about why there's no achievement for beating the game with 32 Heat ("Very Hard" difficulty, basically) and one of the devs here said that they didn't want to make achievements that only hardcore players can achieve. So, yeah.

YES! :) definitely an unlock as you play each weapon and progress each aspect. Try everything once. Complete the house upgrades, upgrade your mirror, etc. talk to everyone, get all the aspects. level all of them up. Play in as many ways possible. :)

Gotta love SuperGiant <3
Great. I don't mind with Grindy achievements. So it's good to hear everything can be unlockable without playing ALOT some Rogue games (I looking at you Binding of Issac :-)).

the acvm just take time. don't know if they will add acvm like u described at some point in the future though. that might happen. if u want every acvm it will take a decent amount of time. depends on how fast and lucky u are (rng is a part of the game). i would say between 60 and 100 hrs.

They have 3 "hard" achievements
- the butterfly one
- the feather one
- the one where you have to beat the game with every harsh condition

The rest are pure RNG and grind. It's more patience than skill.

Butterfly was not difficult
I'll try the feather next; or i possibly already have it. 3 starred hermes
and the harshest, i am still getting used to it :P

Heat 3 conquered with arthus last. I want new eternal aspects for fists,

Who gives the last talisman you hold?

I will try later. Still have to upgrade the butterfly/feather first.

You mean the keepsakes? The last one is from Persephone. And then you'll have another one from Hades

@OP, Hades achievements are pretty easy overall imo. None require anything crazy to accomplish. Took about ~110-115 hours or so for myself to get 100%. The devs wanted to make them possible to all be done by average time given enough time. Also, they can be finished with 'God Mode', which is the game's version of easy difficulty.

None of these are very hard through really. Took one run to get butterfly, then one run to get feather. Just do a 0 heat run; this will make it easier to burn down enemies fast for the plume, for butterfly a ranged weapon can be pretty efficient. I think I used Chiron to do both. (I would of course recommend waiting till you have 3 stars in the keepsake before attempting these achievement)

For the hard condition one, that just takes time to finish. Just do low heat runs with different conditions turned on. You don't actually need to have them all on at the same time to complete the achievement.

The hardest achievement is maybe the sixteen heat one which is still very reasonable for most gamers to finish. Most other achievements are just time consuming.

Getting all of them is easy but I'm just arrived at the point I only need to farm runs over and over again... it gets a bit repetitive at some point.
