Complete the game on hard/abbysal mode achievements

[СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ!]

I've just finished a run through of the game (opted in to the beta) in hard mode, but haven't got the achievement for completing the game in hard mode. Do I have to do all the post game bits too? (The fox spaceship, etc)

You need to watch the Vesta event in the town events.

Thanks! I just loaded the save, checked in on Vesta, and got the achievement. Next to finish the abyssal run through. Kind of surprised I haven't hit 2500 monsters yet.

That's because the monster kills achievement are not cumulative. If you play on normal, then Hard, it resets your monster kill counts, it doesn't keep going. I've been had with that too.

Ahhh I see, is the kill count for each save? Or does the kill count reset to 0 each time you start a new game?

From what I understand, it resets with each new game. So if you're after the 2500 kill and then the other one, you'll have to grind grind grind. I finished a Hard Mode game and I'm still grinding in the ship to get the 2500. I want at least that one before I go through a Abyssal game.

Damn, I'm already running through an Abyssal game up on the pitfall level, I'm up for the challenge of beating this run through, but that's a lot of grinding...

You can simply load your save from Hard game and return to gringing after finishing game on Abyssal)

I'm not sure that it really resets with each new game. In my first game on normal I got only around ~1000 kills, with the second game (on abyssal) I very quickly hit 2500 (while I was like, on floor 15-18 or so) and with my third game (again on abyssal) I got Breaker of Armies after a bit of ufo grinding (not too excessive, I only had around ~26 hours clocked at that point).

I still have the savegames, let me check:
First run - 32 hours, but I didn't knew the floors and nothing about the game, forgot the party composition
Second run - 25,5 hours (Bonnie, Maeve, Yomi, Sylvi, Anubis)
Third run - *now* 33 hours, but when I got the Breaker of Armies I'm pretty sure I was at ~25-27 hours. (Succu, Anubis, Ryuuou, Maeve, Yomi)

While I'm an excessive grinder I don't think that 5000 kills on abyssal are doable in ~27 hours, hmm - even though Anubis, Ryuuou and Yomi certainly have some nice 'Wide' spells.

I've so far completed a normal game (and I got the 1000 kills pretty quickly), a hard game, and I'm now in the void on abyssal, and yet to hit 2500. I've been pretty much exclusively using Yomi, Ceri, and Sylvi in this run, and they all have wide spells taught, although I did play my normal game without the beta, so it's possible it reset when installing the beta, if it doesn't reset with each new game.
