WARNING! THIS GUIDE IS VERY HEAVY IN SPOILERS!
Browse at your own risk!

I've not found a 100% guide yet so I'm taking what I've found and compiling it into one guide for convenience. I've never done a guide before but I really think this game deserves a good one! If you've any tips/critique to clean up or make what I've got so far more potent I'd be very grateful, thanks!! I claim no rights to any of the videos or images shown

Can be acquired by following the signs pointing East towards the "Hero's Grave". At the grave you will find a lone sword, pick this up to acquire this achievement.

Your first chance to obtain this achievement is while you're near the end of the underground waterway(under the well). Follow the rune embedded in the floor which will take you outside and if you continue the path, to the room where you get the lantern. On your way to the top of the inner rune pillar where you obtain the lantern. Upon walking up to rune, hold your roll button down for 3 seconds to begin praying. Charge this pillar with your prayer to activate it and pop this achievement.

Missable Interactions

These are not missable in the sense you cannot go back and acquire them, only missable in a sense it's possible to complete the game without obtaining them. The only exceptions being Too cute to smash and Bring it to the wrong fight, which can be entirely missed from your playthrough.

⚔═Bring it to the wrong fight═══════════════════⚔

!MISSABLE! Obtained by obtaining the firearm before the sword. You will have to navigate through a lot of area with nothing but your stick. It can be aggravating and challenging however this is an achievement you can go for right away so you can always start a new file if you don't want to go for this one right away.

Credit/Thanks

I'm open and grateful for any constructive criticism that I could improve on!
Thanks to
@declanzhang - for use of screenshots
@Crowspike - For guidance and tips on faulty info

[Bep]

Thanks osLeonardo for pointing that out! Got it fixed

[osLeo]

really helpful guide, but the Treasure #12 linked video is the wrong one, acctually found the one on my own but felt like pointing out! thanks for the help!

[Tylus]

I know it really doesn't add anything, but with the 'Whoops' achievement, it really can only be obtained through the ice bomb. I tried the wand/ice dagger combo, bounced the ice shot off a hook point and hit myself to freeze myself. Didn't get the achievement, lol.

[ReverendTed]

For Game Over: I chose the True Ending so I didn't get Game Over my first playthrough. However, the New Game+ created itself in a new slot, and I was able to load my old save and attack the heir (instead of speaking) to trigger the final fight, even though I had all the pages.
I was glad I watched the Bring it to the Wrong Fight video because using "No Fail" was a welcome respite for mopping up the Game Over achievement.

[Penultimate Chimera]

nevermind did it first try, yeah i got it after having 100%

[Penultimate Chimera]

you can still obtain Game Over after getting 100%, you just gotta be rude
(at least i assume so, gonna be struggling this fight over for a few hours...)

[XaykWolf]

I wasn't able to click through to the "Your body is restored" video, I think due to it being behind a spoiler bar, and I had to look it up on youtube manually

[Leaf Lover]

You say fairy 8 can only be obtained at night but I managed to get it during the day

[kAst]

I can't get all those 10 money banks without getting the 3 colored keys and getting acess to cemetery to get the one at there, or the one at the cathedral, or the other at west garden when getting the dash after the arena at the cathedral?

[Chimney Imp]

You can now get the Game Over achievement even if you got the Share your Wisdom ending . Go back to your old save file (use the Load option, not Continue, to pick your pre- new game+ save). Then, go to the final boss and, instead of pressing A to share your wisdom, just hit her with your sword. The final fight starts. Good luck, it's hard.
