THE CREATURE LIVES
Enrage 10 Cyclops.

To enrage a Cyclops, you need to hit him in his eye. It may be quite difficult to hit his eye, but you will know if you do because he will either cover his eye with his hand and then swing his club around like a madman or just act unstable in general.

If you are unsure what a Cyclops is or what it looks like, you can visit the bestiary in the main menu and see one.



RUNE
Trigger 20 Mage seals.

If you've ever seen a rune in Skyrim, this is exactly what a Mage seal is. Mages are floating enemies in silver shining armor. They launch out runes every once in a while. All you must do is purposefully walk over top of them until the achievement pops.

If you are unsure what Mages are or what they look like, you can visit the bestiary in the main menu and see them.

Seals stepped on during the "Trap" Test of Faith will also count towards this, so if this test shows up, make sure to take advantage of it.



THEM BONES
Decapitate 100 Skeletons.

This should come naturally through your time playing the game. In case you are having trouble, just make sure to keep aiming for the head and send the skeleton heads flying.



HAND OF DOOM
Kill 50 enemies using melee.

Melee is very strong and you can get 50 kills easy on practically any map. Just keep spamming the melee button and this one will be yours before the end of the level.



BUZZKILL
Grind 50 creatures using the Buzzsaw melee attack.

The Buzzsaw doesn't become unlockable until level 18, so there will be some time before you can even attempt to get this one. You will also need 250,000 gold, so you need to save up some to be ready to afford this.

The melee attack is done by holding the right trigger in front of enemies, much like normal melee kills. Repeat the same procedure you did for 'Hand of Doom,' and this one will also be yours

Kills from the "Dice" Test of Faith will also count towards this, so if this test shows up, make sure to take advantage of it.



GOD MODE
Reach the final level and attain God Mode.

This achievement requires you to reach the highest level in the game, level 24, and attain the 'God Mode' ability. It takes exactly 240,000 XP to reach level 24. Refer to 'Blow Up The Underworld' for a good method to obtain easy/quick XP and gold.

Just a quick FYI, the God Mode ability kinda sucks. I would suggest sticking with Healing. It effectively has the same exact effect as God Mode, lasts over twice as long, and takes less to fully charge up for use.



THE DAY I TRIED TO LIVE
Survive the "Death" Test of Faith.

The "Death" Test of Faith is a random Test of Faith in which you one shot all enemies, but they also can one shot you. You must complete one of these tests without being killed once.

There is no sure fire way to get one of these tests to show up, so your best bet is to just keep playing until it shows up, and then pray that you don't get hit.

It also may be possible for you to hide in a corner while a co-op partner kills all the enemies for you while making sure you do not get hit, needs to be confirmed.



NOTHING SAFE
Complete your first Oath.

Oaths are like skulls in Halo. You can enable them for an added challenge which can give more XP or gold depending on which ones are chosen. Simply pick any Oath (Sword being the least troublesome) and complete a map with it on.



BLOW UP THE UNDERWORLD
Purchase all upgrades.

This is the big one. For this one, you are going to need to first of all reach level 24 and then amass a ♥♥♥♥ ton of gold. Not only must you purchase all abilities and guns, but also all the upgrades for them as well. Do not fret, as gold is not that hard to come by. It can even be farmed.

The best way that I have found for getting as much gold as possible in a single game would be by making good use of the Salvage ability combined with Oaths. By replaying any level (Hades Moon or Basilisk Pit would be best) in solo on Bronze difficulty, and by putting on a couple easy Oaths, you can maximize the gold you get in a single run. Simply upgrade Salvage all the way and then use the ability around a huge group of bodies.

You can make anywhere from 50,000 to almost 110,000 gold easy before even adding the Oath percentage bonus! I have even made about 170,000 gold solo in one game with this method.

Each ability has two upgrades worth 10,000 gold and 20,000 gold respectively. Each weapon has seven upgrades with the lower tier upgrades costing 10,000 gold and the higher tier upgrades costing 20,000 gold. There is also a single final upgrade for each gun for 30,000 gold.

You DO NOT need to purchase all the appearance items for your character.

Once ALL has been bought, and all progress bars are maxed, this one will be yours. It will take over 2 million gold for all guns, abilities, and upgrades (not including customization items). With customization items, it will take an extra 165,000 gold.



BADTRIGGERFINGER
Purchase your first weapon upgrade.

Refer to 'Burden in my holster'.



BURDEN IN MY HOLSTER
Fully upgrade one weapon.

You will need to be level 8 before you can fully upgrade any gun. To upgrade a gun, while in the party screen before a game, choose CADAVER GEAR and then choose a weapon and choose MODIFICATION.

The best gun to start out with upgrading would be the SMG. This is also one of the best guns to use altogether. Simply purchase all seven upgrades for it and this one is done.

It will cost you a total of 120,000 gold to fully upgrade any one gun.

HEAVEN BESIDE YOU
Finish any map with 3 or more active Oaths.

All you need to do for this one is finish any map with the three least troublesome Oaths activated. Chose Hades Moon on Bronze difficulty and select the Oaths: Serpent, Sword, and Spider. Complete the map and it should unlock.



SWEETEST CURSE
Finish any map with 6 active Oaths on hardest difficulty.

This achievement is not as hard as it sounds. Just get a friend with you and set up a custom lobby and make sure the host chooses Hades Moon set to Gold difficulty. Now the person who needs the achievement puts on all Oaths EXCEPT Thief since that oath is the most unforgiving, the rest are at least manageable.

Start up the game up and just obliterate everything. It is recommended that you have at least the SMG upgraded and you have your friend use healing on you when you need it.

Hope that you get good Tests of Faith and also remember that your lives are in a pool, so the person who should be dying (if at all) should be the person with the Oaths activated. Once you are done and the game leaves the gold room, the person with all the oaths activated should get this achievement.



THE HUNTER
Kill 100 creatures.

Refer to 'Demon cleaner'.



DEMON CLEANER
Kill 2500 creatures.

Killing 2500 creatures will not take long at all. You will get this fairly quickly before you are even into the meat of the game. It has been reported that it may take over 2500 kills for this one to properly unlock.



EMBRYO
Destroy 50 scarab eggs before they hatch.

Scarab eggs are green and black eggs which will eventually hatch out enemies known as scarabs. Simply destroy them in the egg state until it pops (no pun intended). A good map for this one would be either Fortress or Basilisk Pit. Scarab eggs can also be sent out via Breeder enemies.

If you are unsure what Scarabs or Breeders are or what they look like, you can visit the bestiary in the main menu and see them.



STAIRWAY TO HELL
Kill 20 creatures using the Hammer ability.

The Hammer ability becomes available to buy at level 14 and it costs 150,000 gold. Once you have fulfilled the requirements, equip this ability and then go into any map and just start whacking enemies away.

Kills from the "Hammer of the Gods" Test of Faith will also count towards this, so if this test shows up, make sure to take advantage of it.



BORN A LEGEND
Finish any map on any difficulty.

Refer to 'Odyssey'.



ODYSSEY
Complete all maps on hardest difficulty.

The hardest difficulty in this game is called Gold difficulty, and it isn't as hard as you'd think.

Before you attempt it (in solo or co-op) you will want to upgrade at least two guns of your choice (I suggest the SMG and Assault Rifle personally) and have already played through each level at least once on Bronze to know what's coming.

The game does not keep track of which ones you have already done on Gold, so it would be best for you to keep track yourself somewhere. There are five maps available in the game. Each level has a boss at the end except for Basilisk Pit and Hades Moon. The bosses are nothing fancy. Shoot until dead.

Note that if your game freezes at the scoreboard screen before you return to the main menu, you will have to complete the level again on Gold.

In case you are having trouble, here are some general tips:

• Use pickups wisely. Do not waste health or armor pickups if your health or armor is already near 100. Only use them in dire circumstances.
  
• Ammo conservation. Ammo isn't a huge deal in this game, but it is still good practice to conserve what you can.
  
• Oaths. Do not even think about using any on Gold difficulty.
  
• Sprinting. Using sprint is vital in this game. You will need to herd enemies together and then take them out in groups.
  
• Use the roll ability. Rolling is vital for dodging Minotaur attacks, and various other enemy attacks.
  
• Save your ability charges. If you are using Healing (which is what I suggest to use), save it for when you need it.

DEATHBOUND
Complete any map without dying.

This is easiest done on Hades Moon on Bronze difficulty, with no Oaths. Make sure you are familiar with the game before attempting. It would be best to have an upgraded weapon. I suggest the SMG. This achievement may even come naturally.
