To Hell and back - All Steam Achievements

Short guide for all Steam-Achievements in Momodora III

Introduction

Hey all!
Due to the lack of guides for this wonderful game I decided to make my own. Keep in mind that all achievements are unlockable in easy/Dora mode, so it is up to you to decide which mode you wanna stick with ;)

Shout-outs to all players from the steam-forum who explained the achievements concerning Mariel and Melilot.

Destroyer of Owls

Just kill the poor owl in Belltower Garden sitting in the top-left corner of the screen a few screens from the beginning.

Golden Ladybird

The golden Ladybird will randomly appear instead of a red ladybird in Belltower Garden (1:128 chance, confirmed by Dev). Re-entering a room is possible in order to find a golden one. I got it during my first playtrough, so its likely that you will bump into one. It looks like this:
There are 2 good "farming" spots for the golden one:
1. The "spiky" area all the way left (not the one where you plant the seed) where a handful of ladybugs can be found.
2. The same zone where the owl can be found. It is just one ladybird, but you can quickly re-enter the room. It will likely take more time than the first place.

Good Ending

Defeat the last boss. After her third phase she will remain sitting wounded on the ground. Walk up to her and start a conversation. This will get you the good ending.

Bad ending

Same as the good ending, but instead of talking to her, be a scumbag and hit her like a Piñata.

Speedrunner

This one is fairly easy when you do it on easy. With the reduced damage and more hearts you can ignore most common enemies and run straight to the bosses. It is not a problem if you die during a run, the lost time will not count towards the final time. Just try it again from your last safe point. Note: You have to do this achievement on a new save. It will not work in NG+

Pacifist

This requires you to avoid all common enemies. Of course you have to kill the bosses, but be careful during the fight with the boss at Belltower Garden: she will summon ladybugs. The exploding fishes do not count as kills. If you accidentally killed a poor creature, load your last safe and bring peace and moe over the world.

Stable time loop

For this achievement you have to talk to Meliot, the girl with the glasses every time you see her. Her first appearance is in level 1 at the end near the door to the next world. The second encounter takes place in the Dim Hideout far to the right after a wooden bridge with several enemies:
The last encounter takes place in Belltower Garden after defeating the boss of this level. Go back down, talk to her and trade her the Owl badge you got from the boss.

She will give a special seed from her homelands that you can plant to the left of the start of the level. This will create a time rift that takes you to another world.

Here you have to help the young priestess Kaho against Haegok. Finish him and claim your achievement!

Mariel saved

Ahh, this takes me back (^-^) You have to save Curly Brace eehm Mariel within 30 minutes from the start of the game to get this achievement. It requires you to talk to her in all previous levels. Your first encounter takes place in level 1 after the lift. Next up, you meet her in Belltower Garden left from your spawn point. Finally you will find her in front of the One-eyed Demon Boss-Room in the grave level. Smite this fiend. Talk to her after the fight. Note: If you failed it before, you have to do this achievement on a new save. It will not work in NG+.

Closing words

Thanks for reading guys; if you have more questions feel free to ask them below in the comments. I'll do my best to answer them contemporary :3

I wonder, is it possible to get the stable time loop achievement and the pacifist achievement in the same save file? Or does the boss there count against it. I'm also curious about the mini-boss in the old hideout.

UPDATE: Mariel showed up this time. I talked to Melilot when possible AND talked to Mariel until her dialogue started repeating.

[dorkbot5000]

Yooo, two things:

1) Just attempted save Mariel. Talked to her in each location and she didn't appear. I didn't talk to her multiple times in each location, so I'ma try that and/or talking with Melilot as well in case those matter. Will let y'all know if I find anything out.

2) pacifist isn't unlocking for me. I'm not killing ANYTHING between bosses (not even opening chests,) so I'm not sure what the issue is, only that there's some tricky business happening.

Thank you very much for this!!!!

how to get back to the beginning of the level that would plant a seed? It is impossible to go back to the beginning of the level.

Well I got the "Speedrunner", "Pacifist", "Stable time loop" and "Mariel" saved achievements all in one run. Thought the Speedrunner achievement would be more difficult.

After defeating the boss of "Stable time loop", I did restarted the game without saving, though, so I would go back to my previous save point with less time on the clock,

[Zeugziumy]

Considering Hard mode has less hearts, wouldn't be even faster if you spam your charge attack with the item that gives you 400% damage bonus on low health?

You would need to farm a few shards to be able to buy it, though (I think it's something you buy from the store).

Prior to finding this guide, I legit thought that was the only way to get the achievement.

[Drzewiec1122]

Hyello, as somebody else asked a few years ago - does your ghost friend killing a creature abort the pacifist run?

[Brewstice]

Heya! Trying the Stable time loop achievement again.

Kind of same problem(?)
I got to and defeated it, shellfruit and all, but still no achievement :(

man i love you
