Missable Single Player Achievements

Your Lessons are Boring!
Attack the teacher in detention area you start in the game


This is technically missable but you will most likely try to hit someone near him and get it by accident

Killed by Math
Was defeated in detention


Die in the first room of the game, start the game let the enemy spawns then go get a drink and hit continue when you get back to move on to the rest of the game.

Full Service
Destroy a vending machine


I would be surprise if you didn't get this naturally, but just destroy a vending machine.

Stylish
Equip a new outfit


Just equip an accessory and you got the achievement, if you somehow beat the game without getting this achievement that is impressive.

Friendly Beatdown
Defeated an enemy by hitting them with another enemy.


At level 6 you should unlock human weapon, this allows you to pick up enemies that are laying down and use them as a weapon for a brief period of time. Just use one to KO an enemy and the achievement is yours.

Back at me!
Catch a boomerang


You can find a boomerang around the third area either in the toy section or the bridge to the third boss, throw the boomerang and parry it when it comes back and you will catch it.

Carpe diem
Defeated an enemy with a fish


You can find a giant fish in the fifth area on the beach, pick it up and KO an enemy and bingo you get the achievement

Help an Old Pal?
Completed all of Godai's quests


There are 5 missions one in every level after the school, after first one keep an eye out for dumpsters and go near it and Godai will pop up and give you a mission finish it. Then as you go to the next zone find him again and rinse and repeat.

River City Ransom
Collect $5000


Pretty self explanatory, but key point you don't need to have it at the same time. You just need to have had a sum amount of 5000 collected. You might not get it in the first playthrough but pretty sure I did so putting it here. But if not, go into loitering mode which is free roam mode and beat the secret boss and you should have enough money.

Smashed Statues
Destroyed all the Sabu statues


There are 25 statues spread through out the game destroy all 25 to get the achievement and an item. Which is one of two items necessary to unlock the secret boss in the free roam mode.

Perfect Parry
Parry 10 enemy attacks


This one can be a bit weird I got it by having 10 parries in one play session, I essentially just went to the courtyard with the volleyballs after you clear the screen lock there, went out and went back in and KOed 2 of the 3 enemies that will spawn there and parrying 10 times on the remaining enemy. That should get you the achievement.

Loiter, Co-op, and Additional Playthroughs Achievments

O.M.G Seriously?
K.O. the Secret Boss


After beating the game you will gain half a heart with a red K, and if you broke all the Sabu Statues you will get the other half of that heart with a blue M. Now go into free roam mode and put both into your accessory slots and enter the final boss room. This will spawn the secret boss. Beat them and you get the achievement and a big in game reward of experience and cash.

TAKE THE WORLD ON
Completed the game on Hard.


You only need to beat the final boss on Hard, you can either play the game on hard or leave before the final boss and set it to hard then fight the boss. Either way you will get the achievement.

A New Challenger
Complete the game with a secret character


You will unlock 2 secret characters after you beat the game the first time, either grind one of them up in new game+ or have them as your second character that you put them into a corner and beat the final boss in the free roam mode and you get the achievement.

Don't mess with us!
Compete the game in Co-op.


Similar to A New Challenger, you only need to beat the final boss in Co-op either plug a second controller and put the character in the corner as you fight the final boss. Can be doen either in the first playthrough or in the free roam mode. You can also do it naturally as it a fun game with a friend but its up to you.

Power Up
Reached Max Level


Max level is 30, you should be at around the low 20's when you beat the game and you should get enough experience beating the final and secret boss a few time for the previous achievements and going through the New Game+ with you highest level character that you should reach the max level.

Renegade
That wasn't very nice


To get this activate friendly damage in the setup so you can damage you co-op partner, KO your partner and you got the achievement. You can do this in actual co-op or just plug in a second controller. Either way works.

You're out!
Catch a dodgeball thrown by your ally


Similar to the boomerang achievement, you do need a second controller or co-op partner but have them throw a dodgeball/volleyball that you can first find in the area to the left as you leave the school and parry the ball before it hits you and you will catch it.

100% Achievement

Completionist!
Reach 100% Completion


To reach 100% on a file you need to for sure do the following:

• Beat the game
  
• Finish all side quest
  
• Unlock all moves for all 4 playable characters
  
• Eat every food item
  
• Buy every accessory

I have yet to confirm whether or not you need to:

• Destroy all Sabu Statues

Was confirmed by another player that you don't need to beat the Secret Boss or get all the cats in New Game+ to get the Completionist achievement but I will leave the guide here just in case you want to do it while you do New Game+. As it rewards you an accessory that will give you infinite SP.

You also need to recruit every type of (regular) enemy ONCE, and it's enough if you do it on a single character - the color variations are NOT important.
I was missing that one, the moment I got the last two, I saved, left, and immediately had my 100% (after doing everything else, ofc)

[Paladin42]

Curiously, I'm having an odd issue in which I've missed an unmissible achievement. I'm at the end of the main game, but it didn't record when I got the junkyard keys. I'm also having to close the game out in order for the game to give me achievements made in a run.

[Sailor Minerva]

I just finished the game 100%. The next steps that need to be done are as follows

1-Finish the main game
2- Finish all side quests
3- Unlock all moves for all 4 playable characters
(Make them go up to at least level 12)
4- Eat all food (With only one character)
5- Buy all accessories (With only one character)
6- No item in the shops must have the icon ?????
6- Complete the mission in the NG+ world by finding the cats to get the accessory that gives you unlimited SP

[GutsRage]

I'm having problems getting the last 3 items for the equips, do I need NG+ for this? Already visited every shop and I got everything already.

[Zolarion]

@Don Pipovich
NG+ will not reset your completion percentage. So feel free to start a NG+ to get the remaining percentage.

As for money. Money also carries over in NG+. When you beat a quest or a boss for the first time in a playthrough any money and XP reward goes to all characters. So, if you keep using the same character as the first playthrough the other characters will also earn money. Should you happen to K.O. on the character you are playing, the others will not lose money. So, you will probably hit the $5000 on one of them even if you die and lose money on the character you use to beat the game.

@「HOODWINK TALON SUCKER」
Your points conflict with my impressions.

1. I think you do need it at one time, it's not cumulative. But perhaps you only used one character and thus had another character that did have the money.

4. I got the 100% without items from the secret shop. (I did visit it).

[Don Pipovich]

Hello, I followed your guide and problems have appeared and I want to consult.
1)I have already completed the game, I have done all the side missions and defeated the secret boss, even so, it has not given me the achievement of raising $5000
2)I have defeated Sabuko several times but he is not giving me money or experience.
3) I'm missing 5 skills with both secret characters but the money won't be enough for me.
Before answering, I want to clarify that I have not activated NG+ since I do not know if when I activate it my 93% will be reduced to 0. I would like you to be able to answer these questions.

[Foxhack]

I just beat the game and got the completionist achievement.

I found the secret shop (it was in the same place as in River City Ransom, haw), but I didn't buy the shop's items. I also didn't get all the NG+ cats either (I got like 15 as I speedran it.) It popped after I went back and bought the moves for Misako, Kunio and Riki.

All I'd done before was destroy the Sabu statues, leveled up Kyoko to 30, maxed out her stats by buying all the food, and bought every other accessory from the store (plus the stuff from the drug shop, the books, and the game carts.)

[Edgar Kingmaker]

I never even found the secret shot but got 100%.

Maybe it keeps track of all items bought and everyone else missed one during the run through? *Shrug.*

[MoTT]

Perfect, thank you man :)

[Adriancuervo19]

GENIAL!!!!
