Missable achievements?

[Soothsayer]

Hello,

Are there any missable achievements i should look out for while playing, or can i get everything in one playthrough?

Doesn't seem like there's any. Most are for doing something for the first time or unlocking something. So the only "missables" would come from stuff you haven't cleared or grinded

No missable achievements.

In one save, yes. In one playthrough, not in the traditional sense. (e.g., achievements behind post-credits on higher difficulties. Could also be seen as New Game +2, +3, and +4.

So i should start the game in the hardest difficulty if i'd like to do it in 1 playthrough ?

That isn't how it works. You unlock higher difficulty settings after beating the game. I can't say much else since I haven't beaten SoP yet, but I assume it's almost exactly like Nioh.

Yep the base game has Chaos difficulty (up to lvl 300) after you beat the story. Then Bahamut difficulty (up to lvl 400 ) for the first DLC.

I apologize, I explained it poorly.

As Crayon-Sha and Cyiel mention, once you complete the base game story - even on the easiest difficulty, you will unlock DLC story. And that DLC story is only becomes available post-credits. And the higher difficulties I referenced are also only available post-credits and as you progress the DLC. And you never have to restart the game.

If you're super beeline rushing through the achievements and knew exactly where to go and what to do, could probably do 90% of them in 8 hours and the last 10% a bit longer toward 12 hours.

Realistically, this will take a first time player around 40~100 hours to do if they are heavily focused on achievements.

There are no missable achievements. After completing the main story-line, new missions that will require you play in teh new difficulty will unlock. Only these missions must be done in the higher difficulty. This pattern will continue until the DLC's have no more missions.

So it plays out like this if you want the easiest path: Main Story in Story difficulty (easiest) until you unlock Chaos difficulty. You then must complete the last mission in Chaos difficulty to Unlock the first set of DLC missions (Bahamut's Trials). These missions must be done in Bahamut difficulty until you do the last one. Then Gilgamesh difficulty for the Gilgamesh specific mission.. so-on so-forth.

Previous mission can be increased to the new difficulties but for the most part this won't be required (having to do the original final mission in Chaos difficulty is the only one that comes to mind that I had to do twice).

edit~ some text clean up, not perfect but meh..
