Dungeon of Zolthan [100% Achievements] [Eng]

You wanna get all achievements of this game with a detailed explanation?

Roadmap

This game doesn`t tell you where you have to go next to continue; it doesn`t tell you which passageways are optional and which are not. Here`s what you have to do:

Step 1: Leave the starting area and enter the giant room ("tower")

Step 2: Jump upwards and take the first passageway to the left (there you will get the Higher-Jump-Upgrade)

Step 3: Return to the tower and move all the way upwards and go to the right. At the end there`ll be the first boss; you`ll also get the dash-upgrade here

--------> optional: Go down the tower and enter the passageway in the opposite direction you came from. There`ll be an extra heart there (you need the dash!)

Step 4: Return to the tower and enter the passageway below the passageway of the first boss. Defeat the second boss and gain the Double Jump.

-------> optional: Go into the tower, go all the way upwards and enter the passageway to the left (you need the dash and the double-jump). There`ll be the Rapid-Fire-Powerup

Step 5: Leave the tower and the far bottom left and get to the next checkpoint

------> optional: Go to the left and take the next extra heart

Step 6: Leave the room to the bottom right and get to the next checkpoint again

Step 7: Move all the way to the bottom of the room and choose the right passageway. Defeat the boss there and gain the Super-Dash

-----> optional: Go the opposite direction of the third boss and get the next extra heart

-----> optional: Return to the checkpoint before the second boss near the tower, jump down and use the Super-Dash. Gain the last extra-heart

Step 8: Use the passageway above the passageway to the third boss and defeat Zolthan. You made it!

Boss Achievements

Angry Face
Defeat the first boss



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline. Just defeat the first boss. He`s located in the top right of the tower


Perfect Angry Face
Defeat the first boss without getting hit



Okay, this one shouldn`t be too hard, cause the boss only has 1 attack. If you get hit by one of the bullets, just die and try it over again. I defeated this boss by walking on the ground of the room all the time. This way i was able to dodge the bullets. When the boss is coming down to you, just shoot at him. Always dodge the bullets by walking and be ready to shoot him when he`s coming down! The boss will need 20 hits until he`s dead.


Spike Wall
Defeat the second boss



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline. Just defeat the second boss. He`s located right under the first boss in the tower


Perfect Spike Wall
Defeat the second boss without getting hit



Okay, this boss is not too hard. When you`re falling into the room with the boss, fastly walk to the right and begin to shoot the spike wall. Try to start at the top of the spike wall, cause later you don`t want to jump up again. And don`t forget to always shoot at the boss when you`re standing on a platform. You don`t have too much time to defeat the boss. Simply dodge the bullets and don`t get hit. If you get hit, retry.


Mega Roller
Defeat the third boss



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline. Just defeat the second boss. He`s located in section at the far bottom right of the map


Perfect Mega Roller
Defeat the third boss without getting hit



Okay, i have to admit. This one is pretty hard. At the start always try to dash over the boss. If you accidently get hit, always retry the whole bossfight. When the boss is in his final form (he`s pretty fast then), always try to remember when the boss will jump next. Try to calculate that!


Zolthan
Defeat Zolthan



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline. Just defeat the last boss of the game


Perfect Zolthan
Defeat Zolthan without getting hit



Okay, probably the hardest boss of the game... well, he`s the final one. If you get hit, retry the boss. Always dodge the bullets. Here´s a tip: Most of the time I stood on the first platform above the ground. You can easily dodge the middle bullet there. When the boss appears to the right or to the left of you, just dash through to him and hit him. When he disappears, jump back to your platform. You don`t have to do this when he`s appearing in the upper blocks. Just dash through to him when he`s appearing to the right and to the left (and always dash through the bullets and the spikes with ONE dash!)

Collectibles

Jump Higher
Get the jump-higher powerup



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline. It`s right at the beginning (In the tower one passageway avove the starting area)


Dash
Get the dash powerup



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline (after defeating the first boss)


Double Jump
Get the double jump powerup



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline (after defeating the second boss)


Rapid Fire
Get the rapid fire powerup



Okay, this one is missable. You need the double-jump-powerup and the dash-powerup to get this one. It`s located at the far top left of the tower (opposite direction as the first boss)


Super Dash
Get the super dash powerup



You get this achievement by natural progression in the storyline. Just defeat the third boss and collect the invincle dash right after it


Full Life
Get all extra life hearts



Okay, you can get exactly 4 extra life hearts in this game. Here are the positions they are located in:

1) One passageway below the passageway to the second boss in the tower (you need the dash here)
2) After defeating the second boss and going into the next room, always walk to the left, then go down to the ground and then again to the left. There`ll be a passageway to the next heart
3) Opposite direction as the 3rd boss (go to the left instead of right)
4) Okay, that`s the most difficult powerup to get. After you defeated the third boss and gained the super dash, return to the save before the second boss. While you`re falling down, use your super dash and pick up the last extra life

Complex Achievements

Careful
Beat the game with 5 or less deaths



Okay, this one is pretty hard. Just play as safe as you can and try to collect every extra heart. Then you`ll most likely be able to do this (you will most likely need about 2-3 tries)


Done in 40
Complete the game in 40 minutes or less



Okay, this one should be easy after you completed the game once. You have enough time to collect every item you can (just try to not die too often).


Done in 20
Complete the game in 20 minutes or less



Okay, this one shouldn`t be too easy. You really don`t have enough time to collect every item. The rapid fire upgrade is not necessary. Maybe you can still get about 1 extra heart, but it will get really close. I would just finish the game with 3 hearts and get no collectibles. Always head straight for the bosses and don`t die too often. That`s it. (you can do that achievement together with "Three Hearts")


Three Hearts
Complete the game with only 3 hearts



Okay, this one is not easy! Don`t collect any extra hearts and always go straight for the bosses. They will be a lot harder, but no problem. I know you can do this. You have enough time!

thanks for the guide! here's some additional tips:

boss 3: the boss will jump at certain interval so you need to get used to it. and no, the timing doesn't match with the music.

boss 4: i couldn't seem to dash or jump without hitting the obstacle when i was standing on the platform so i ended up going below it (on the ground). i just need to double jump and and dash to reach the boss that way. you might need to lean a little bit to the left or right to reach the boss before he left for the first time but you'll get the hang of it and don't need to do that later.

also, i believe that restarting the game through the continue button doesn't count towards death for careful achievement.

lastly, watching speed run videos on youtube will help a lot in obtaining the complex achievements.

and Btw @ Toxic i don't used the guide for the whole 100% i just liked it cause when other players have problems with it they can use it ;) so yeah. and when it are hard games also guides don't kill the fun :) but anyways i know what you mean but i think guides are ok but without guides its even more epic...

Well, everything in life depends on how you feel about certain things. We`re only individuals, thus we differ. You have a point and it`s true. ;)
We`re only performing the actions that make us happy after all. I`m fine with people using sam, as long as they`re happy with it. And yeah, i often know what i have to do, so my point about 'facing the challenge' is a bit invalid. But still, as long as i am happy with what i am doing, i believe it`s fine. And so are you ;)

Guys I meant that this text is considering step by step tips how to get achievements so u can't name the result 'facing the challenge' cuz u weren't playing and getting them (ach) by chance. U knew what exactly u had to do to get one or another. So it's cheating in some way too :). But I got ur point and respect it!

[SkyStarMania]

oh ok :) these dudes destroy fun in achievment hunting they little arghhh what is fun on pressing botton and get all ach. ultra noob @Danny but this is nooby af

[LastNonak]

I wrote my comment considering all types of games, not focusing on Dungeon of Zolthan, cause i didn`t feel like he was just talking about this game

[SkyStarMania]

WTF Dungeon of Zolthan wasn't challenging it was just fun all the time :) it might be a old pc game cause it plays like from that time!

[LastNonak]

Well, you can do that if you want. I play these games for the challenge though... and using cheats is like nothing that would really interest me. It`d feel like escaping from the challenge (at least for me) instead of facing it...

[choose life]

OMG just use sam

[DannyDaemonic]

For the time trial achivements you mention not dying. So deaths count towards your total time? If you quit instead of just continuing after your death does that time still count? Does time in the menu count?
