List of Bugged/Unavailable Achievements (SPOILERS/OUTDATED)

[funnyman]

(Update 3/9/25: As of recent patches, all achievements are now obtainable legitimately. This topic is now outdated.)

Title says it all. Here's every achievement I was unable to get after what was essentially otherwise a 100% run - all of them are one-hit kill achievements too. A couple people might have already given themselves the achievements with SAM or a similar tool, so they show up as like a 0.1-0.3% completion rate, but some of them are ones the devs have already confirmed are currently not possible to get via legitimate means so I'm not 100% sure. Untagged spoilers from this point onward!

Special thanks to Gellot for confirming two of the achievements actually are doable - I've updated them accordingly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Motherboard/Processor Float - addressed by devs, they were cut from the main game and are not yet available in the battle arena, but will be in an upcoming patch.

Scary Shade - Not sure if this one is doable, even after playing his fight for quite a while. Shade doesn't have a health bar, so I don't know to what point you gotta build up a combo. Doable - Must deal 2600 damage, will test if it's doable in the coliseum later and not just the story.

Root of all evil - Shade's first fight from the beginning of the game. Not available in the battle arena (unsure if intentional or not.) Unsure how you would get this one, since you can prevent Raven from rescuing you if you lower Shade's health enough in the first phase, but there's definitely not enough time to get a OHKO on him before then.

Shaman - A bit misleading since this is actually "The Abyss" fight (the tunnel you jump into right after meeting the shaman.) As far as I know there aren't enough absorbable bullets in the fight to deal a killing blow, or if the boss is even killable since it's one of the few fights with a scripted end. Not killable legitimately, but can be earned in the battle arena if hit with one (heavy?) cast and then surviving until the end.

Black Hole - addressed by devs. The problem is because of the scripted sequence making you absorb and shoot a second projectile even after draining the hole's HP with a single hit; they claim this will be fixed in a patch.

Riley - addressed by devs. This is because of the fakeout where he actually dies at 25% HP - this will be fixed soon.

Frog - I believe this is the boss fight on the Homunculus' game console in the hotel. This is probably a similar issue as the Riley fight, since it has a similar "fakeout" death when the console glitches. Frog isn't available in the battle arena either, so you can't replay his fight.

Some of these have already been addressed by the devs, but other ones (like the Shade and Shaman battles) I'm not sure if it's just a glitch preventing the achievement from registering or it's actually not doable with how these fights are "scripted" more than the other ones.

Have any of you had problems with other achievements? Have you gotten any of these? Please let me know.

I actually managed to get 2 of these achievements:

Scary Shade: It has 2600HP in the story fight. With fully upgraded spear and bandana, 39 green charges were just enough to 1 hit kill it.

Shaman/The Abyss: It's actually impossible to kill it legitimately, as it has 88888HP in the story fight. But in colosseum, I hit it once with a heavy cast and then survived till the end and got 1-hit kill achievement from that.

The rest are indeed impossible.

Thanks for the information! I have updated the original post accordingly.

I got the achievement for Riley
In the Battle arena if you have a big charge and attack at the point where the camera zooms out i believe at the spot just before he loops, the fight can just end there and you get the achievement so it might just be buggy but atleast not impossible

Idk if this counts as a bug, but in the final boat defense if Chase damages an enemy it won't count as 1 hit killing it.

[Pyrousha]

Got the shaman 1shot by doing an medium attack in the arena, I think you just have to deal damage once and then survive to the end!

[FlutterFeet Fetish]

Motherboard float is currently in the arena, that achievement is obtainable.

Root of all evil is available in the arena and you can one hit it, but you don't get the "defeat root of all evil" achievement from it, not sure if intentional?

Like others mentioned - Shaman is the Abyss fight from the arena and it's enough hitting it once and surviving to get the achievement.

Frog is in the arena, that achievement is obtainable.

There are some others you didn't mention:

One hit Raven part 1 - not in the arena.

One hit Jester Face Final - not in the arena.

Defeat root of all evil - beating it in the arena doesn't count. Haven't tried replaying in story, but would probably make sense to give it out for the arena win

dev said this about scary shade and root of all evil:

Originally posted by KidChris:

Currently these achievments can only be gained outside of battle colosseum.

We are looking into patching them into battle colosseum.

the following battles are also not in arena:

Jester Face

Void Zombie Climax

Red Gnome

It seems that as of recent patches, all of the achievements that were bugged/unable to be obtained are now doable. There are still some fights (I believe most battles exclusive to the boatman sequences) that are not in the battle arena and must be earned in the story, but there are no longer any ones that are literally impossible. Either way it is good to see that the issue was quickly addressed!
