Intro
Welcome to my achievement guide for YIIK. Hopefully this will help you fully complete this game.

A few notes before we get started:

This game unlocks achievements on closing the game. This is quite annoying, so if you think you earned an achievement and don't see it, save and quit.

Turn on assist mode in config. This doesn't prevent you from getting any achievements, but it makes the combat system WAY nicer.



Make a separate savegame here to unlock both endings in one playthrough
Unmissable
The following achievements are unmissable in a normal playthrough, so you don't have to worry about them much.

Friend of Small Animals




Elevator Girl Goes Missing




Mild Gains




A Mysterious Girl




Serve No Bodacious Master!




You Kids Can Just Go Home




What Did I Do To Deserve This?

Combat
These achievements are for doing various things in combat - and are MUCH easier if you have assist mode on.


Alex

Amateur MC - Perform 10 Combos on Alex's standard attack.




Master MC - Perform 25 Combos on Alex's standard attack.




Easier once you get a few upgrades for Alex, so the record spins 3+ times instead of the 2 times the first 2 weapons spin. I was able to get this with assist mode and the Strolling Bonez LP, though it was tricky.

Trigger Happy - Perform 25 Combos with LP Toss ability.




Claudio

Modern Ronin - Execute 1000 Slashes ability with Claudio.




The Essentia 2000

Android Agility - Perform 15 Combos on The Essentia 2000's standard attack.



Anyone

Expert Hunter - Clear every monster den.

Note: there are 11 in the game.

It's cool lol. I just found him at chapter V when recruiting all your party members. That's where the calendar system starts in the begin. And when you leave your room and check on the internet you will see more quest logs relating to ONISM1999.

Sorry, I havn't played the game in 3 years. And endgame saves don't really let you just roam and easily get screenshots.
