Gameplay achievements

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
8.		Victory Cry	Have won battles with all playable characters.

There are only 8 playable characters in the game. Unlock and finish any mission with each of them.

Character	How to unlock
Guts	Avaliable by default, use him to unlock the rest of the game's playable cast in Story Mode
Griffith	Complete "First Battle" in Story Mode
Casca	Complete "First Battle" in Story Mode
Judeau	Complete "First Battle" in Story Mode
Serpico	Complete "Witch" in Story Mode
Schierke	Complete "Witch" in Story Mode
Nosferatu Zodd	Complete his eponymous mission in Story Mode
Wyald	Complete 30% of Eclipse Mode

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
9.		The Swordmaster	One of the characters has reached their maximum level.

The max level for every hero is 99. Later story missions, as well as the Endless Eclipse, provide a lot of experience. Just farm higher layers and missions and you can hit max level shortly after completing the game.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
10.		Nosferatu	Transformed 3 times in one battle as Zodd.

While playing as Zodd you’ll need to fill up your Frenzy meter and then fill up your Death Blow Gauge in order to transform by pressing L. You need to do this three times in one mission.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
11.		Apostle Lord	Defeated all of the large Apostles with Griffith.
12.		Avenger	Defeated all of the large Apostles with Guts.
13.		Berserker	Defeated all of the large Apostles on BERSERK difficulty level.

The Apostles are the large, transformed bosses you’ll encounter in the story. Since you’re required to play as Guts through most of the story anyway, this is very easy. Simply beat the game and Avenger will pop.

After you beat the story, you can play missions with any hero. Use Griffith to beat all same bosses to unlock Apostle Lord. If you kill them in the Endless Eclipse mode it counts too.

For Berserker I suggest doing this after you’ve maxed out a strong character like Guts and have unlocked his Beast of Darkness armor through the Endless Eclipse.

You need to kill:

Mission	Apostile	Picture
#7	Nosferatu Zodd
#19	Wyald
#23	Lord of Thieves
#25	The Count
#43	Grunbeld
#46	Emperor Ganishka

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
14.		Apprentice Witch	Summoned 10 golems in one battle as Schierke.

Schierke has a unique Sub-Weapon that allows her to summon golems. Use this ability 10 times in one battle.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
15.		Secret Feelings	Rescued Casca once from a dire battle as Judeau.

Dire battles occur when an ally is up against a powerful enemy, or is being overwhelmed by smaller ones. Pick a mission where Casca is an ally (The Invasion of Chuder is an early one), then wait for her to be overwhelmed. When it says on your screen that Casca is in a dire battle, run over and help her.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
16.		Loyal Servant	Rescued Farnese once from a dire battle as Serpico

Just like Secret Feelings, you’ll have to wait for Farnesse to be in a dire battle while playing as Serpico. Slaying of the Trolls is a good one, as the sheer amount of enemies should make it easy for her to fall into a bad situation.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
17.		Elf Dimension Style Secret Keeper	Won more than 50 battles together with Puck.

The little, flying elf known as Puck joins you about a quarter of the way through the game. Keep completing missions with him at your side.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
18.		True Berserk	Acquired all trophies

Collectible achievements

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
19.		Music lover	Collected all of the BGM.

This also requires simply playing through the entire story, as new songs are part of later missions. Also you have to beat Endless Eclipse Mode to unlock last BGM.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
20.		Lock Master	Completed first original Picture
21.		Absolute Lock Master	Completed all of the original Pictures

As you play through the game, you can get Behelits by completing specific challenges in certain missions. Each of these Behelits unlocks a piece of different unlockable pictures. There are six images in total: complete any picture and all of them for both trophies.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
22.		Liberator	Gallery achievements have reached 25% or more
23.		True Liberator	Gallery achievements have reached 100%

This will require a lot of grind as you’ll need all costumes, images, music, events, items, sub-weapons, warhorses, and accessories. You’ll need to unlock all characters and skins which requires beating the story, and then beating 100 layers of Endless Eclipse with every playable character. Then you’ll have to grind for anything you’re missing as well as obtain all items.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
24.		Elf Dimension Style Pupil	Gained more than 1 point in Becchi Catch

Becchi Catch is a hidden mini-game in Berserk and the Band of the Hawk. Enter the Gallery, then choose Events. Click on anyone that has a generic image rather than a colorful one and you’ll control Puck as he catches Behelits that fall from the sky. Simply catch two or more and that’s it.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
25.		Jeweler	Collected all of the accessories

This is another of the time-consuming achievement. You’ll need to beat the game as well as play through a large portion of the Endless Eclipse with all of the characters in the game in order to unlock every accessory. Many are random drops, which will require a lot of replaying, and some you will have to craft on your own by enhancing with specific materials.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
26.		Gatherer	Collected all of the portable items

This will require the same steps as Jeweler.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
27.		Causality Scholar	Finished all of the events

This is much easier than it sounds. As you complete missions in Berserk’s story, you’ll unlock short events you can view by switching over to the Events tab in Story Mode (R1). They unlock automatically just by playing through the game, and all you have to do is watch them all (most are less than a minute long and you can skip right through).

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
28.		Stable Master	Collected all of the Warhorses

Same as all the other collectible trophies and achievements. Complete the story, complete the Desires, play through Endless Eclipse with different characters.

Kill achievements

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
29.		Woman-warrior	Defeated 1,000 enemies in one battle as Casca

Play as Casca in any mission and make sure to kill 1,000 enemies before finishing it.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
30.		100 Man Slayer	Defeated 100 enemies at once in Frenzy Mode

You can actually obtain this trophy in the very first story mission of Berserk and the Band of the Hawk which serves as the game’s tutorial. You’ll have a powered up Guts and you’ll be told to use your Death Blow in a room full of enemies. They’ll instantly die and there are more than 100 of them.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
31.		1,000 Man Slayer	Defeated 1000 enemies in a single battle

This is a very easy one that you don’t need to grind. Later in the game, you’ll kill 1,000 enemies in a single mission without even trying.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
32.		Enjoy and Excite!	Defeated 1,000 enemies in one battle as Wyald

Pick Wyald as playable character and make 1000 kills in one mission.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
33.		10,000 Man Slayer	Total number of Obliterated enemies has reached 10,000

Obliterated enemies are different from just defeated ones. Using Death Blow counts as obliteration, and some heavy attacks count. Just use your Death Blow every chance you get, and you’ll get this one naturally over time.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
34.		100,000 Man Slayer	Total number of enemies defeated has reached 100,000

Another one you’ll get naturally as you work towards all of the unlocks in Berserk and the Band of the Hawk.

Endless Eclipse Mode achievements

After beating the story, you will be granted full access to the Endless Eclipse which can be described as simple survival mode. When you beat Berserk and the Band of the Hawk, the Endless Eclipse becomes infinite, but you only need to beat only 100 layers for achievements and for unlocking final ending cinematic and bonuses.

There are initially a maximum of 100 floors. Escape points appear every twenty floors. Checkpoints are specifically assigned to the 1, 21, 41, 61, 81, and 101 floors. If the player loses on a non-checkpoint floor, they can restart from their last earned checkpoint. Character specific accessories and specific mounts can be earned by getting to floor 100 with every playable character.

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
35.		Abyss Challenger	Delved 25 layers in the Endless Eclipse
36.		Abyss Explorer	Delved 50 layers in the Endless Eclipse
37.		Abyss Champion	Delved 75 layers in the Endless Eclipse
38.		Abyss Conqueror	Delved 100 layers in the Endless Eclipse

№	Picture	Achievement	Description
39.		Wish Fulfiller	Fulfiled 50% of the desires in the Endless Eclipse mode
40.		The Desired	Fulfiled 100% of the desires in the Endless Eclipse mode

Desires are challenges in the Endless Eclipse mode. They each last for five layers, and involve objectives such as killing specific targets, saving allies, or surviving for a set period of time. There are 60 in total that you can attempt randomly within certain segments of the Eclipse.

This trophy and Wish Fulfiller will require multiple playthroughs of this mode. While you have infinite levels, you’re going to want to switch off characters in order to work towards all of the unlocks available in the game as well. This is a time-consuming trophy, but several of the other trophies are tied to it so hunker down and get ready for some challenges.

[Ivan]

Respect and great job on the guide!!

[-PONTELIUS- ♉]

Hard

[⸸ emospit ⸸]

Is Black Swordsman supposed to be before Golden Age? I'm tripped out now, thinking I missed an achievement lol

[hakuna matata]

Anyone know where the BGM named "The Stained Scar" can be unlocked at?

[Holysword]

It is absolutely not true that you just need to finish the game to get all the BGM. Several people had this problem (me included). E.g. if you finish story mode without dying you'll be missing at least one song. This is not obvious and afaik, not documented.

According to most people who had BGM missing, they are also completely unrelated to the Eclipse. It seems that you can get some BGM in the Eclipse, but there aren't any Eclipse-exclusive BGM.

[Dimension Door]

I beat all the large bosses on beserk and didnt get the achivment? any issues with that one?
