ONINAKI Achievements Guide

A simple guide that covers all the achievements for ONINAKI.

Introduction

I made this guide while working towards getting all the achievements in the game when it released, so I might not be able to answer questions from things that might be changed with future updates.

Every single achievement can be obtained without the need of a second playthrough, however some achievements will need some grinding, easily leading to 50h+ to get 100%.
Also keep in mind that the game contains 2 MISSABLE Achievements, "Plagued by Doubt" & "Unshakeable Will". So be sure to save in the 3rd Waystone in The Eternal Garden before confronting the Boss.
Refer to Missable section for more info.

Any questions feel free to leave a comment. Without further ado, let's get into it.

Ending-Related

The game contains in total 3 different endings.
After beating the game you can load your Clear Save Data and fight the last boss again and choose other options in the final dialogue, in order to achieve the other endings.

A Watcher’s Pride
Defend the precepts of reincarnation.

Bad Ending.
While talking with Sara in Ehir Palace, choose "Defend the cycle of reincarnation.".

A New World
Display the will to see it through to the end.

Normal Ending
While talking with Sara in Ehir Palace, choose "Reject the realm and slay the Oni.", then defeat the Oni Priestess and the Oni and choose "Live.".

A Hopeful Future
Believe in humanity’s potential to change.

Good Ending
While talking with Sara in Ehir Palace, choose "Reject the realm and slay the Oni.", then defeat the Oni Priestess and the Oni and choose "Kill yourself.".

Missable

The 2 missable achievements are "Plagued by Doubt" & "Unshakeable Will".

These achievements are related to a decision you have to make half-way through the story after defeating The Night Devil.
You can get them in the same playthrough, by saving before the battle (in the 3rd Waystone in The Eternal Garden) and then loading after making one of the decisions bellow, without any worries since the outcome will be same with both decisions. And unfortunately, yes, this means that you will have to defeat the boss 2 times.

Unshakeable Will
Do not hesitate when the time comes.

During the cut-scene referred above, there will be 3 first person scenes seen from Kagachi perspective. All you have to do is press the action button as soon as a little butterfly appear in the bottom right corner of the screen in all 3 scenes and you'll get the achievement.

Plagued by Doubt
Hesitate when the time comes.

To obtain this achievement you have to do the opposite as in "Unshakeable Will".
The way I got it was by waiting around 45 to 60 seconds in each scene after the butterfly appears in the bottom right corner, before pressing the action button to advance into the next one.

Every Daemon has an unique Soulstone type that unlock their respective Skill Tree, but you can also use Null Stones (this can be used with every Daemon Skill Trees).

Indomitable Hero

Reached an Affinity of 220.

In order to get you Affinity up to 220%, you'll need specific Shadestone called "Affinity Limit Break", that can be obtained randomly from a Fallen drop.

You need to do it 100 times in total and doesn't need to be with the same Daemon, since the number of time you Manifest is cumulative across all Daemons.

Transcendent

There are a total of 11 Daemons' in the game. Just fill up the Affinity meter up to, at least, 100% and then Manifest with each one of the Daemons.

Weapon-Related

Proud Adventurer
Acquired 10 weapons.

See “Grizzled Warrior” for more info.

Grizzled Warrior
Acquired 100 weapons.

Weapons can drop after defeating Fallens and also from chests.
If you keep defeating Fallen in The Living World and in Beyond The Veil, you'll probably get the achievement around mid-game.
But if you don't get 100 by the time you finish the story, the best way to farm them is in post-game dungeon Sanctum of Rebirth.

Seeker of Rarities
Obtained an epic weapon.

Epic Weapons drops appear with a red light. You should get your first epic drop around Chapter 4.

Blessed Scavenger
Obtained a legendary weapon.

Legendary Weapons drops appear with a red light. You should get your first legendary drop in the post-game dungeon, Sanctum of Rebirth, but you might be able to get it before.

Practiced Craftsman
Obtained a weapon socketed with 1 or more shadestones.

Refer to "Master Artisan" for more info.

Master Artisan
Obtained a weapon socketed with 3 or more shadestones.

There is 3 ways to get the "Practiced Craftsman" and "Master Artisan" achievements.
1- You can receive a weapon from a Fallen or a Chest with 3 or more Shadestones already equiped.

2- You can receive a weapon from a Fallen or a Chest with 3 or more free Shadestone slots. Then you need to go to the Alchemist and select "Equip Shadestones" and equip whichever Shadestones you want in the weapons free slots.

3- In the Alchemist select "Transmute" and create a weapon with 3 or more Shadestone slots and them select "Equip Shadestones" and equip whichever Shadestones you want in the weapons free slots.

Power Seeker
Socketed 10 shadestones in weapons.

See “Apocrypha Seeker” for more info.

Apocrypha Seeker
Socketed 100 shadestones in weapons.

The Alchemist is unlocked after defeating Zale at The Sunken Ruins in Lake Lud.

You'll need weapons with one or more empty slots for Shadestones.
You either get this weapons by defeating Fallen, opening chests in Beyond The Veil or by Transmuting weapons in the Alchemist.
Shadestones can be acquired in the same 3 ways as the weapons.
Just equip 100 Shadestones in weapons and you get the achievement.
You can save before doing it and then reload the save, if you want to keep the Shadestones.

Valued Patron
Obtained 1 item from the Alchemist.

See “Quiet Negotiator” for more info.

Quiet Negotiator
Obtained 10 items from the Alchemist.

You unlock the Alchemist after defeating Zale at The Sunken Ruins in Lake Lud.

To obtain this Achievement, you need to Transmute at least 10 Items (either Weapons or Shadestones).
You'll start with 3 formulas and each formula can only be done once. The formulas will be updated for every 100 Fallen killed.

Miscellaneous Achievements

Battle Master
Triggered 10 Awakenings.

See “Enlightened Sage” for more info.

Enlightened Sage
Triggered 100 Awakenings.

You just need to trigger 100 Awakenings, it doesn't matter if you are triggering the same awakening skill multiple times.

When you use the assigned skills of a Daemons in battle, there will be a chance for those skills to awaken. Keep using skills continuously in order to unlock awakenings.
Also I recommend using the "Awaken Chance +" or "Awaken Chance ++" Shadestone on a weapon that you'll be using to farm, since will make the process a little bit easier.

Omniscient
Triggered every Awakening.

There are a total of 18 different Awakening Skills that you need to unlock in order to obtain the achievement.

I recommend using the same method as “Enlightened Sage”. Assign 4 different skills to a Daemon, equip "Awaken Chance +" or "Awaken Chance ++" Shadestone on that Daemon weapon and continuously use it's skills in order to unlock awakenings.
This achievement is really tedious since there's no grantee that every time a skill awakens, it will unlock a new effect.
Since you'll have climb up to floor 101 in Sanctum of Rebirth for the "Avatar of Destruction" achievement, I recommend you doing this while in clearing the floors.
You don't need to have every awakening in one skill, nor in the same Daemon, you just need to trigger each one at least one time.

This list contains all of the awakenings that exist:

• Affinity
  
• Empower
  
• Restoration
  
• Elusiveness
  
• Weaken
  
• Blight
  
• Wither
  
• Chain
  
• Hasten
  
• Destruction
  
• Quickness
  
• Limitless
  
• Criticality
  
• Fate
  
• Resolve
  
• Manifestation
  
• Pierce
  
• Stun

Avatar of Destruction
Defeat Tsukumo.

In order to get this achievement you'll need to beat the game first.

After beating it, make sure to Save the Clear Save Data and then Load it. This will grant you access to the post-game dungeon Sanctum of Rebirth. In order to meet and defeat Tsukumo, you'll need to reach the 101st floor of the dungeon.

Master of the Living
Defeated a Shadow Fallen.

See "Master of the Beyond" for more info.

Master of the Beyond
Defeated 10 Shadow Fallen.

Shadow Fallen appear as a shadow in the Living World. In order to engage in a battle with them, you need to be stepping over the shadow while entering in Beyond the Veil.

The best way I've found to farm them is to enter a short dungeon such as Roam Meadows or The Lost Town and run across the dungeon from them beginning to the end. If you don't spot a Shadow Fallen, return to the world map and re-enter the dungeon and repeat the process.
It should take you a couple of time to encounter 10 Shadow Fallen.

How to engage in battle with them:

Step over the shadow and enter in Beyond The Veil.


And the Shadow Fallen will appear.

Linne’s Blessing
Was healed by Linne.

You should get this achievement naturally while battling Fallen, since there is a chance that Linne will heal you while your HP is not full.
(Linne will only heal you in Beyond the Veil)

Clarion Call
Heard 20 of Linne’s battle cries.

You should get this achievement naturally while battling and roaming the world in Beyond the Veil, since Linne will randomly talk to you.

Idol of the Gods
Brought Linne to the Sanctum of Reincarnation.

After beating the game Load your clear save data and enter the post-game dungeon Sanctum of Rebirth. In there you'll see Linne, ask her to come with you and go through the portal to earn the achievement.
 　

[Kaito N.]

@PlasticPhoenix So you went with the "Plaged by Doubt" achievement in that scene at the middle of the game, am i correct?
If so, did you wait in a particuler scene at the end or what did you do to get the "Unshakable Will" at that time?

[PlasticPhoenix]

I was also able to get the "Unshakable Will" achievement at the end of the game when getting the "A Hopeful Future" achievement. Nothing earth-shattering, but just a heads up that it's not 100% necessary to repeat the spot in the guide "related to a decision you have to make half-way through the story"
