Thanks again, Elixir :D I guess these are as straightforward as they sound? Just clear the game with each character for their scenario clear and full gallery?

Yeah, but some animations in the gallery will only open if you're using x character with y character in double mode.
I haven't actively browsed/used this forum in many years and it's no longer an accurate representation of me.

I have retired from genre-specific content creation after 13 years, but I'll always love this little genre in my own personal way.

Thanks for the offer, I think I got all of the Trizeal and Exzeal bonus requirements figured out though (maybe I should repost them to the ST thread?)
Kiken wrote:Yes. Both games seem to unlock additional credits for each hour spent playing the respective title.
Exzeal's credit unlocking seems broken. I got another credit in Trizeal after a few plays, but I must be a few hours into Exzeal I'm still stuck at 3 credits. I guess I actually have to get good at the game with ships other than Unit-1 and Unit-3e!

I'll probably get the 7-day achievement while trying to rest my hands from d-pad wiggling and pad mashing for Exzeal and Skills Test. :(

Cool, looks like that verifies everything for Trizeal and Exzeal, then. I'll go ahead and write in all of the shmups skills test ones after I grab some food.

I think I'll need a joystick or an autofire circuit (or both) before I ever unlock some of the button mashier ones, though.

Seems like getting all cards for one girl consists entirely of Original in Otomedius G. I have all of them for Madoka in Gorgeous and it hasn't unlocked anything.

Sort of... you need all the weapon cards (you can get these in either mode) and illustration cards (which are only available from Original).

Afaik you only need the illustration cards from one character (and weapon cards from all characters) to unlock the achievement.

You only need to collect all the cards for 1 character to unlock the achievement. I did it with Anoa. Play Gorgeous Mode enough to purchase all of a character's weapon cards and then play Original Mode until you've unlocked all 50 illustration cards for the same character (the illustration image consists of a 5x5 grid picture that is first collected in black & white and then again in colour).

Cool, thanks Damocles.

I don't have my copy of the game yet, and I don't know enough about it to interpret what some of the requirements mean. Added the list anyway, along with my best guesses. Figured out a lot thanks to EOJ's guide at cave-stg

Is the manual option control only in certain modes?

Oh great, I already have about 30 illustration cards for Eru so it shouldn't take to long to get the rest.
I always thought I need to get all weapon cards but I was getting a little bored of the game after collecting the cards for 4 characters.

That should be all of the secret achievements for Death Smiles. Unfortunately I don't have my copy of the game yet, I'm just grabbing the achievements/descriptions off of other sites and translating the requirements.

After my Deathsmiles gets here I'll update the main post with any specific requirements beyond the game's descriptions, I suppose. Looks like most of it is stuff that would unlock during the normal course of play, nothing too annoying.

Gah, I hate these grind achievements in shmups. I don't think I'd ever continue 50 times unless that achivement was there.

Does anyone know if the game mode chosen matters (Arcade or Xbox 360 mode) with regards to death Smiles.

Hoping my copy will turn up soon.

There is a full achievement guide for DeathSmiles here.

http://www12.atwiki.jp/xbox360score/pages/736.html

Would anyone be able to accurately translate this for the DeathSmiles part of the guide.

My copy of Death Smiles came today :D

@Rebel Ninja - a quick first pass on that page

For all achievements:
Default settings are required.
Only the Ver 1.1 specific achievements can be done in Ver 1.1.
No restarts.

A warning about how autosave can wipe out your local scoreboard and progress towards cumulative achievements when switching between modes (which is expected to be fixed in a future update)

For the ending choice achievements, you can't skip any part of the ending. Enjoy the staff roll. For the achievement where you have to watch Follett's stay behind ending 10 times, you only have to watch the staff roll once and it's ok to skip it after that (but you have to watch until the staff roll begins)

As a hint for the no-continue clear achievements, use bombs and power-up mode sparingly, avoid the canyon stage, and follow the life recovery item route (2-2 stage will be Lvl2 Marsh, 3-2 stage will be Lvl3 Volcano). Be prepared to practice a lot and refer to the capture site, videos, etc. for tactics

究めたエンジェル

For the normal Ver 1.1 clear achievement, contrary to the achievement description, continuing is not allowed.

大食漢

For the suicide bullet eating achievement, do all stages at Lvl3, go through the EX (canyon) stage, and be in death mode 2 for the castle stage. You get fewer suicide bullets in powerup mode (the page says if a hyper is used, I assume this means powerup mode) so avoid using it if possible.

友達に手を上げるなんてっ!

For the Sakura self-destruct achievement, continues are allowed. At Lvl1, you'll see the cycle of the bird pattern -> pot pattern about 10 times before she self-destructs. As it is, it takes a lot of time.

弾幕薄いよ!

The pacifism achievement has to be done with the lakeshore (stage 1-C) as your first stage. Level, damage sustained, don't matter. Continuing not allowed. Contrary to the description, bombing is allowed. After your bombs run out, you can ram enemies for a half-point of damage and temporary invincibility to escape.

白馬の王子様

You can't defeat a boss just by bombing. Let's try with different bosses. Running into a boss with your character is the only other way to cause damage, so ram it, bomb for recovery and enemy bullets. Keep in mind that during the invincibility period damage won't be caused.

(I actually couldn't make much sense of this one. If someone figures it out, please post)

Heroine of justice

In the castle stage, either Jitterbug or Tyrannosatan is ok for this one.

食いしん坊

As continues are permitted, this is fairly easy. The fastest route to life recovery items is as follows:

1-1: lakeshore (1-C) or woods (1-B) LVL3
1-2: volcano (2-C) LVL3
2-1: lakeshore (1-C) or woods (1-B) LVL3
2-2: cemetary (2-A) LVL3, kill the troll for a small cake life-up
3-1: port city (1-A) LVL3, 2x trolls for 2 small cake life-ups
3-2: marsh (2-B) LVL2, destroy the car for a small cake life-up
(in the castle, defeating Jitterbug without using a bomb grants a large cake)

The rest are strategies for the 500 crowns and 1 (2, 3) hundred million point achievements. I'll get to that later.
