Introduction

Thanks a lot for using this guide. These take many hours of work to put together, so I hope you can spare 3 seconds to give it a rating, because it really helps. If you find this guide extra helpful, please also consider giving it an award!

I noticed that there weren't many guides for this awesome game, so I thought, "Why not use this oppotunity to make my own?" Well here it is! This guide doesn't include progression Achievements (i.e. Leveling up/Completing a play), so keep that in mind. It does include instructions and helpful tips for getting the non-progression Achievements. Please let me know of anything I should add in the comments, check out my other guides, be sure to rate, and game on! Now lets get to the Achievements!

How to Get Achievement

Team Player

First, you must unlock two Team Charms by completing challenges. Team Charms are any charms that mention "Double Team" in the description. Then, start a two player game, and equip both of the charms, and then start an Act. Both players will get the achievement (I tested it myself that this is the easiest way to get it).

The Tools and the Talent

Simply equip any two Charms and start an Act.

AMAZING SCENES!

This Achievement also covers the other combo Achievements. To get this, you must achieve a x200 multiplier. This may seem rediculous, but by the end of the game, using the following strategy, you should be able to do it. This strategy is to go into a large crowd of enemies and block an attack (D), then do a Flurry attack (Spam A). This should give you a few hits on the enemy, and any others that were behind it. After the Flurry attack, block again just before hitting the ground. Chances are that since you are in a large crowd, you will block another attack and then be able to do a Flurry attack again. Continue doing this until you rack up a huge combo and a lot of points in the process. This strategy is also very effective for taking out enemies quickly, which helps with the time limit challenges, and since you keep going into new Flurry attacks in midair, you won't touch the ground for a while, making it an easy way to get the "Working the Wire Men" Achievement.

Vaudeville Legend!

This Achievement also covers all the other star collecting Achievements. To get this you need to get five stars on every Act in the game. By using the strategy above (under "AMAZING SCENES!") and using your Showstopper ability (E) as often as possible, it is normally easy to rack up enough points to get five stars on an Act, making this achievement not as hard as it seems.

Working the Wire Men

See "AMAZING SCENES!"

JaBaroni

Preform 100 Stunning Piledrivers. To preform a Piledriver, block an attack (D), and then do a Heavy Attack (S). You will slam the enemy into the ground, damaging it and any other enemies nearby. To get a Stunning Piledriver, just hit at least two other enemies with the Piledriver.

Roughly Tumbled

Preform 50 Cannonball Combos. Please note that a Cannonball Combo is different from a Human Cannonball. A Human Cannonball is when you throw an enemy into two other enemies, while a Cannonball Combo is when you throw an enemy into three or more other enemies. To throw an enemy, block an attack (D), and press block (D) again. You will automatically throw enemies towards other enemies. I would reccomend waiting until you get late in the game to grind for this, as you get an ability that makes this easier.

You should see my backhand...

Preform 50 Ace Returns. An Ace Return is when you hit a projectile back at an enemy. To do this, wait until an enemy throws something or shoots at you, and then block (D) just before it hits you. This should send the projectile flying back at the enemy.

The Stagehands Hate Me!

Preform 50 Stage Crasher moves. To preform a stage crasher, find a way to use an enemy to destroy a breakable prop. There are many ways to do this, such as throwing, Piledriving, or hitting the enemy into the prop.

Unstoppable Force

Preform 100 Magnificent Combos. A Magnificent Combo (or Magnificent Display) is when you get a x50 combo. You should get this Achievement as you play, but if not, you may need to grind a bit.

To me, to you

Preform 30 Heads-Up moves. A Heads-Up move is when you block (D) to catch an enemy that was "thrown" or "launched" in your direction. There are three ways to do this:

Catching an enemy thrown at you by another enemy (some enemies do that).

Catching an enemy thrown to you by another player.

Catching an enemy you bounced off of a wall.
To throw an enemy to another player, block an attack (D), then block (D) to throw the enemy. To bounce an enemy off of a wall, block an attack (D), then do a Flurry attack (Spam A). After a few hits, you will send the enemy flying, and if they bounce off of a wall, it is possible to catch them in midair by blocking (D).

Well Rehearsed...

Preform 50 Perfect Scenes. A Perfect Scene is when you complete a scene without losing your combo, which can sometimes prove to be difficult. You should get this Achievement while you play through the game, but if you don't, it may require some grinding.

Daemonologist

This Achievement also covers the other Charm collecting Achievements. To get this, you must unlock every Charm in the game. For more details, see the next section.

Charms

Obtaining a Charm is as simple as completing the three Challenges in an Act. All three Challenges don't have to be completed in one run, but progress on Challenges won't carry over (e.g. If the challenge is to get four perfect scenes, you can't get two perfect scenes and then play the Act again to get the other two). When you complete the three Challenges, you will get the next locked Charm on the list - there is no set Charm for each Act. Below is a list of all of the Charms in order and what they do.
