Say Hi To My Friends

Bring 5+ Followers into a boss fight. (Difficulty: 2/10)

Pick Momosuzu Nene as your character as she can heal followers.

Pick up the green "S.Chat" items and throw them at your followers to heal them.

Try to help your followers during battle by attacking enemies that are attacking your followers.

Prioritize helping/healing followers that are on low HP.

Stacked

Reach 50 in one stat. (Difficulty: 2/10)

Pick a stat to focus on. Obtain and equip equipment that boosts the stat you are focusing on. Upgrade your equipment that boosts the stat. After enough upgrades and character level ups you should get the achievement. (Tip: Upgrade lower level equipment that boosts your stat as those upgrades are cheaper)

Thanks RNG

Enhance a Rare equipment into S. Rare (Difficulty: 3/10)

Talk to Kaela in the campfire area to enhance your equipment. Increasing your LUK stat will increase the chance of success so equip equipment that boosts your LUK before enhancing. Sell your other equipment and items for money if necessary.

Rescued?

Clear Story Mode. (Difficulty: 6/10)

Pick Momosuzu Nene if you are struggling, I am able to beat the game easily with her. Remember to use items, they are extremely helpful (Especially BL Books. Always make space to carry BL Books. Drop items by holding down your "Use item" button. Use BL Books against tough groups, enemies and bosses). Remember to upgrade your equipment. Sell unused equipment and focus on spending money on equipment upgrades, those are probably the best use for your money.

People have also recommended buying as many BL Books as you can if they're available at the shop.

Loot Grinder

Wear a full set of S.Rare equipment. (Difficulty: 5/10)

If you don't find S.Rare equipment for each slot then you will need enhance your existing equipment. Increasing your LUK stat will increase the chance of equipment enhance success so equip equipment that boosts your LUK before enhancing. Sell your other unused equipment and items for money if necessary.

Whole Again (Secret Achievement)

Save Ollie. (Difficulty: 1/10)

Ollie's head is seen near the end of Stage 3-2. Ollie's headless body can be seen running around at the start of Stage 3-3. Bring Ollie's head into Stage 3-3 but don't attack any enemies with it otherwise it will "break" and disappear. Throw Ollie's head onto her body to get coins and the achievement.

Get Some...Assistance

Upgrade an equipment to level 15. (Difficulty: 2/10)

Make sure you have enough money to do this before you finish the game. Sell your other equipment and items if necessary.

Please Just Sell Them

Fill out the entire equipment inventory. (Difficulty: 2/10)

Remember to pick up all equipment you find and don't sell any. Buy equipment if necessary.

Thanks Again!

Watch the credits to the end. (Difficulty: 1/10)

The credits are found on the main menu.

I Love Art & Holo Artists Assemble

Unlock 50 & 100 emotes. (Difficulty: 2/10)

Interact with the floating purple book in the campfire area to spend money and unlock emotes. Unlocked emotes are kept when you exit/finish the game so you don't have to do this in one playthrough.

No Dislikes

Clear a run with less than 100 dislikes. (Difficulty: 7.5/10)

You get a dislike when you are knocked down. Using a continue will make you receive around 75 dislikes so remember to heal and not die. Play defensively and equip equipment that will help prevent you from getting knocked down. Remember to dodge roll and use items against tough groups of enemies (BL Books is an amazing item, always pick it up and use it against tough groups, enemies and bosses).

This achievement is probably easiest with Momosuzu Nene (Heal your followers to help you fight, you don't engage in battle directly so you don't get knocked down) or La+ Darkness (Powerful attacks). You will have to learn boss attacks and how to dodge them to prevent getting knocked down.

You can check how many dislikes you've received so far in the pause menu.

Can't Be Too Sure

Fill all 5 slots of inventory with only Healing items. (Difficulty: 3/10)

5 different types of healing items will start dropping in the later stages. Healing items are outlined in green. Try to bring 3 or 4 different healing items into the later stages so you can swap out your other items for healing items once you see them on the ground. (Hold your "use item" button to drop items).

The healing items you need may not drop so make sure not to use too many of the ones you are holding and make sure you already have 2, 3 or 4 different healing items in your inventory when entering later stages. Increasing your LUK increases the chance of items dropping.

Perfectionist

Defeat a boss without ever being knocked down. (Difficulty: 7.5/10)

(I've heard this achievement is bugged. People have said you have to beat the whole stage without getting knocked down or the achievement just doesn't unlock until later even though you did it but I'm not sure)

Play defensively and equip equipment that will help prevent you from getting knocked down. Use items to try defeat the boss quickly (BL Books is amazing against bosses). You will have to learn boss attacks and how to dodge them to prevent getting knocked down. This achievement is probably easiest against the stage 1 or 2 boss.

Ambokiko from the comments section:

Got Perfectionist on stage 1! Had Jem Headpiece equipped (Super Armor while carrying field weapon) and just attacked using items (pebbles, baseball, tuning fork, buffed with Shishito Coffee beforehand). Hope this helps!

大成 from the comments section:

i got Perfectionist on stage 1,too. i use item little stone and pizza. pizza heal everyone's hp. my followers main tank and hit boss , i sometimes throught little stone hit boss

Combo Breaker

Reach a 30 KO-Chain.

TimSoup from the comments section:

"The way I did the Combo Breaker achievement was by being in the last stage 5-4 or so, and had BL Books and used La+'s 2nd Ability Skill to help defeat a bunch of enemies.

I'm not sure if you can rush into another wave and keep your K.O. streak, but if that's the case maybe that can also help?"

Notes:

I got the achievement in Stage 5-1 as La+.
The Angel Star item helps.
Increasing your damage will help.

YoruAlptraum's strategy:

"for the Combo Breaker achievement I found it easiest to do it on first stage, i got it with Koyori on hard mode starting the combo on fist wave
- just be sure to kill the last enemies close to the right of screen and keep rolling to get to the next wave faster, when the wave spawn aim at the weakest enemy to refresh the combo
- you can open almost all chests on the way if are quick and if you find dmg items it will help you
- the combo has a timer that you have to keep alive and it seems to go down faster with higher combos but you can even change zones while maintaining it if you are fast
- the combo only refreshes when the enemy is defeated and not when they are knocked down so be careful to not lose your combo because of that"

Next...

Clear Hard Mode. (Difficulty: 7.5/10)

This achievement is probably easiest with Momosuzu Nene (Heal your followers to help you fight) or La+ Darkness (Powerful attacks). Remember to use items against tough groups of enemies, elite enemies, mini-bosses and bosses. Bosses attacks are slightly different in hard mode. BL Books are a really good item so pick them up and save them for tough groups, enemies and bosses.

abyssyuan from the comments section:

"one exploit I found is by using the idol costume and wait until your skills and ult is ready and start the next wave, this helped me through the Next... achievement run"

growlmon3003 from the comments section:

"The save update helps with hard mode since you can now back up your run and restore it. It saves at the start (X-1), and mid points (X-3)."

Hoarder

Clear a run without spending any HoloCoins at all. (Difficulty: 7.5/10)

Remember to pick up and swap your equipment for better equipment since you will not be able to upgrade equipment.

This achievement is probably easiest with Momosuzu Nene or La+ Darknesss due to their good movesets.

Remember to use items against tough groups of enemies, elite enemies, mini-bosses and bosses.

Gotta Go Fast

Clear a run in 50 minutes. (Difficulty: 8/10)

You can watch speedrun videos to see how they complete the game quickly. There are additional tips below the video. The top speedruns I've seen play as La+, Iroha and Koyori and Lamy

Frost_007_Wild_Dog from the comments section:

"Clear a run in 50 minutes Solo (my record 45 minutes)
Play with La+ Stage 1,2. I don't open any item box except gold box. It can finish in 10-12 minute.
then after end stage 2 we need
1.Equipment have ATK and upgrade highest as possible. DEF and HP secondary priority.
2.ATK Item BL book and Kanata Shuriken is very important don't forget check at Nodoka-chan.
***BL use against big mob enemy when skill not ready or use against elilte enemy. Because BL book don't knockdown enemy. You can continue deal dmg until they died.
***Shuriken use against boss it very effective when boss in superarmor state. It continue deal dmg until they end that state."

Juan_StarYT from the comments section:

Oh yeah,for under 50 minutes I recommend you prioritize getting items like the idol costume (more ults = more screen wipes),the boxing gloves (20% more attack),so on so on. A close second for the gloves is the time ring otherwise.

No Mercy

Apply FROZEN, BURN, and POISON on 1 enemy. (Difficulty: 8/10)

1. Play as Yukihana Lamy (She can freeze enemies)
2. Get lots of Stinky Bathbombs (Chance to poison) (Buy them if you have to)
3. Get lots of Phoenix Swords (Chance to burn) (Buy them if you have to)
4. (Optional) Equip equipment that speeds up or gives super armor charged attacks. These will make this achievement easier.

5. Go to a boss.
6. Poison the boss with Stinky Bathbomb.
7. Burn the boss with Phoenix Sword.
8. Freeze the boss with Lamy's Skill 2 or Ultimate.

All 3 must be applied at the same time for you to get the achievement.

YoruAlptraum's strategy:

"for the No Mercy achievement I'ts a lot easier to just do it on a non boss character with high hp like the tanuki
- don't take the companions
- get rid of the non relevant enemies around
- do not use equipment with high attack like the boxer gloves
- equip the miko robe on Lamy
now you just have to take a hit and when the enemy is burning you throw your first skill and the stinky bomb"

ラゲアス from the comments section:

"For No Mercy, just use Lamy's Ultimate first: It lasts decently long, and will make it easier to apply poison and burn. I found it easier to do it against La+, as I managed to get the necessary items without having to go out of my way to buy them."
