AER - 100% Achievement Guide [ENG]

This is a guide to all 20 achievements. This guide is still in progress. Please leave a comment, what I am missing and what i should add.

Introduction

Welcome to my full achievement guide for AER - Memories of Old :)

I tried to sort the achievements. So some achievements are mentioned two or three times. I just tell you, where to find the places for some achievements and won't spoil you, what you have to look for, so you can enjoy the experience ingame! :)

Leave a comment to ask questions, give some hints or corrections or say thank you.

I wrote this guide with searching on my own ingame and with some help of TureAchievements[www.trueachievements.com].

Hide and Seek

Find Erin when she's gone.

It seemed, the devs fixed this one, so here some hints, found in the comment section:

Originally posted by Emblem Parade:

I think the way to get the Hide and Seek achievement is that you have to talk the dad and have him explicitly tell you that Erin is missing and ask you to help him find her. I found her near the tree, not near the sky boat, and still got the achievement.

I actually did find her near the sky boat earlier, but this was before the dad gave me the "quest," so I did not get the achievement then.

So, I think to get the achievement you just have to keep going back to the settlement every time you accomplish something and talk the dad. When he gives you the "quest", find Erin and be happy. :)

Originally posted by MissDirect:

[...]Okay I think they might have fixed the achievement! After completing the second dungeon I went back to the settlement and found her on the other side of the island between a tree and a spar of rock. I have a screenshot if anyone needs it, but basicall just ahead and slightly to the left if you come out the back entrance of the cave where your mentor hangs out.:2016trophy:

Originally posted by Maya:

Same here - what MissDirect said, I also found Erin over almost the EXACT opposite side of the island from where the Sky Boat is, on a mound, with a black rock that's jutting out of the ground.

Originally posted by Dionysaw:

Can also confirm what MissDirect and Maya have said. Any other method in the popular guides around don't seem to work after the update, for me at least.

BUT CARE: If you went through all 3 dungeons, Erin returned already and will tell you, what a nice adventure she had. In this case you missed the achievement and have to start a new game.


Thanks to everybody in the commensection! :)

Thx 4 all ur help on Hide & Seek achievement, guys. Really appreciate it.

[Handballermann]

@shnacc no, not as far as i know. I also had to start a new game.

[shnacc]

Is there a way to find Erin after completing the game? (I had spoken to the father before 'completing' the game and it was knowledge that she had gone missing. But since completing the game I am unable to find any of the characters let alone Erin

[cNd°-° - go Arsenal!!-]

Nice job dude.

[M E T A L]

I can confirm that the "Hide and Seek" achievement unlocks once you find Erin right after the Archives. Talk to her father first at the camp then head to this location: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1449567455

Regarding Hide and Seek achievemnt, I personally found Erin on the other side of Camp island near a black rock.
I visited the camp regularly after every "major" step, such as visiting the shrines and so on.
After sky boat - this rock was her last location, and what gave me the achievement
here's a screenshot - again, it's located on the other side of the camp island(same island)

In the belly of the beast achievement is in King's pass bigger rock (island) to the right there are big bones and a written stone.
