Thanks for the achievement lists for the rest of the XBLA games! I'm gonna go back and rewrite a few of those as guides later (maybe I should change the thread title from GD to ST?) but I'll make sure to credit you for providing the lists

Oh and I do have a couple more sections to translate from that Death Smiles guide, but they're pretty much general strategies for getting the more skill-oriented achievements. I still need to write the rest of the stuff into the main post.

As an aside, does anyone know about what the chaining requirements for an A-rank in the rest of the Ikaruga stages are? I can only chain the first couple of levels, and I just don't have the desire to even try to learn any more.

3: 3.5 mill
4: 4 mill

[womble9]

Great guide there nZero . As someone who's finally got round to picking up a NTSC-J 360 with a few shooters and who has no command of the language at all I'll no doubt be referring to this a fair bit

[Elixir]

Space Invaders Extreme:

Combo Meal (10) Destroyed at least 21 invaders in a row.
First Taste of Victory (10) Won an online match for the first time.
Goliath Killer (10) Defeated the first Boss Invader.
Hero of Nagoya (25) Achieved 1 ROW using the Nagoya Attack technique.
Hot Streak (15) Triggered at least 4 rounds of Fever Time.
Lieutenant Rank A (10) Achieved Rank A at the end of a level.
Lone Wolf Victory (15) Completed the game in Arcade Mode.
Space Commander Rank S (25) Achieved Rank S 3 times.
Space Invader Veteran (20) Won 25 online matches in VS Mode.
Sure Shot (10) Defeated a wave of invaders without missing a shot.
Take That! (30) Defeated a Boss Invader without missing a shot.
Team Victory (20) Completed the game in Co-op Arcade mode.

[Rebel Ninja]

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

Are you still gonna be translating the guide for these?

[Elixir]

As for the "power up at 500" achievement in DS MBL, it needs to be done exactly on 500. Might want to update the achievement list.

Updated with new info for MBL, thanks.

Are you still gonna be translating the guide for these?

Maybe later, kind of lost interest in DS for a while, maybe I'll get it back now that MBL is available to download (nostalgia! )

[Chiaroscuro]

Any news on which is the 100 pts secret achievement from Black Label?

And thanks for the amazing job!

[TodayIsForgotten]

I'm on an achievement kick and was wondering for RFA does the all-rounder have to be done by selecting a plane and starting the game. Then exiting and selecting another or can it be done at the continue screen. I've done this 2 rounds now and nothing.

edit* yes it has to be done by selecting the ship at the select screen and the exiting.

[8 1/2]

Any news on which is the 100 pts secret achievement from Black Label?

And thanks for the amazing job!

I've been trying to find this out too. For 100 I figure it's likely to be "1CC all rank 999 and do both EX stages."

[croikle]

Taking a hint from Otomedius, "Watch the bathtub scene 573 times."

[Elixir]

For the item achievement, you only have to get the items prior to the castle, and the achievement will pop up then and there. Rank 3 on train, volcano, forest, graveyard, port, then rank 2 on the marsh.

[DJ Incompetent]

The various mode clear and 1CC achievements can be done at any difficulty, including the practice difficulty where nothing fires at you. Except the Expert Mode where stuff still fires at you but you can credit feed that to your heart's content. Keep in mind that continuing on the last stage means you start the last stage over from the beginning.

If you turn Final Mission off in the options menu you can continue without restarting the stage.


broken achievements make me sad

[fuse]

Couple of notes re: the Triggerheart achievements: I can confirm that true endings require both a 1cc + the two Faintear encounters (L1 + L3), but they do not need default settings - you can set the game to easy / 5 lives / 7 bombs / 25m extends etc to do these. No Bomb Clear can definitely be done with continues. Also for the points achievements, you need to finish the game with these scores - i.e. if you score 100,000,000 then die and stick in an extra credit to finish the game, despite your high score still showing as above the threshold, the achievement will not unlock.

[nZero]

Since this seems to be getting asked a lot: Cave's blog, the achievement wiki and 2ch still have no info on Mega Black Label 100pts secret achievement. Be patient, someone will figure it out.

broken achievements make me sad

You must be sad a lot, seems like a good chunk of the challenging-seeming achievements have simple workarounds

I suspected Perfect Play was the only one that needed default settings, thanks for confirming that. Do you actually need to finish the game, or if you die and don't continue with a score over the threshold do you still get the achievement?

[WarBovine]

Either winning or not continuing counts as finishing the game. As long as you have the required score you should net the achievement. God knows, I've seen that game over screen often enough.

I probably should have noticed the default settings part, considering the only way I got the true ending was max bombs + lives + extends on easy.

And since it can't be said enough, awesome guide nZero. I'd be pretty clueless in Death Smiles without it.

Actually, you can even adjust settings for the Perfect Play achievement. The requirements for the achievement are simply a No Miss run at Normal or Hard difficulty triggering all boss forms and both of Faintear's appearances. You can mess with the number of starting lives (kinda makes sense to turn these off if you're just going for the achievement), extends (again, no reason to have them on outside of score), and the number of starting bombs (go ahead and start with 7 if you're having trouble).

Edit: nZero, it is possible to get the Diplomat achievement in Aegis Wing in single player on Stage 2 (the stage has no boss).

Makes sense. All right, I'll update the guide. In regards to the Normal/True Ending achievements, I could have sworn I got the Normal Ending when I played with non-default extend settings, though. I'll have to experiment sometime I guess.

Edit: nZero, it is possible to get the Diplomat achievement in Aegis Wing in single player on Stage 2 (the stage has no boss).

Phew... you're right of course, but that's a long stage, with a lot of those enemies that follow you... you'd really be earning that achievement in single player, huh :P

[Damocles]

Slight edit to:

究めたエンジェル (80)
Clear Death Smiles Ver 1.1. Contrary to the achievement description, continuing is not allowed

I continued while fighting Tyranosatan and it still popped.

[nZero]

Thanks for the list. I'll probably clean up the machine translation later. To be honest I don't have much interest in the game and don't plan on buying the 360 port-- I hated the way it played and controlled when I tried it at the game center.

[Elixir]

There is one, for 100 gamerscore. We'll know more soon.

Here:

"Bloody Jitterbug has been defeated."

真の強者
ブラッディージルバを倒しました。

-Play all 6 stages in rank 999
-Go through the ice palace and canyon before the castle
-Defeat Jitterbug
-You have to make it up to Tyrannosatan without dying (so you have to NO MISS from the start of the game to Tyrannosatan).
-You can't continue (obviously), you can't play 2 players, and you can't modify any of the default game settings.

Credits to myself for discovering it and to EOJ for the description from the latest Famitsu mag.

[nZero]

Thanks

According to the achievement wiki, you're still ok for the TLB and the achievement if you only lose a half-bar of life, and even if you continue once Tyrannosatan appears. Small consolation.

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

The other weapon achievements, same requirements as above. Pick up the desired weapon powerup from the FIRST POWERUP CARRIER in Level 1. NEVER pick up any other color powerups. If you continue, DO NOT FIRE until you have picked up the correct powerup. This massively sucks with the Proton Laser

I wanted to clear something up about these single weapon achievements. The only thing that the game is keeping track of is which colour weapon jewels you're collecting. If you continue, you can kill as much as you like with the default vulcan, but every weapon jewel you collect must correspond to whichever achievement you were pursuing.

Basically, you could collect the very first power-up from the item carrier as say, Blue, then suicide 3 times (making sure not to collect anything each time).. continue, and collect the P icon to gain max power vulcan. Proceed through the game without collecting any other weapon jewels and you'd still unlock the Laser Specialist Achievement.

What I have to wonder is, whether or not you can unlock the plasma achievements using either of the bonus ships since they only have one purple shot type. I guess I'll try to play through with the fairie and see what happens.

BTW, shouldn't this thread be stickied?

[nZero]

Hmm, I must have accidentally collected something I shouldn't have on one run then. Maybe a powerup being overlapped by another one? Looks like the achievement wiki agrees with you, I'll adjust the description.

Can you get any of the weapon achievements with the DLC ships?

BTW, shouldn't this thread be stickied?

It's not visible enough from the index thread? Besides, I don't want to glorify achievement hunting that much. I started this thread to keep the game threads in shmups chat from filling up with such nonsense (I don't think it worked, though)

[nZero]

Putting Mamoru-kun here so I can just copy it into the thread and rewrite the requirements after the game comes out.
