Elden Ring 100% Achievement Guide

Missable achievements: 8 (3 endings, all legendary items, fully upgrading any armament)
Minimum number of playthroughs: 3
Co-op / Online Achievements: 0
Difficulty required for 100%: No
Time to 100%: 80 to 200 hours (80 hours if backing up save file for all endings)

Notes:
The Elden Ring interactive map can be found here[eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com]. This is invaluable for finding everything you need.

This is a completely hand written guide. Any item / collectable you need can be found by using CTRL + F and entering what you're looking for in the text box.

This is also a VERY long game. I'd recommend exploring everything on your first playthrough to unlock most areas and mop up most achievements. Then come back to this guide to get any you're missing.

30 of the 42 achievements come from defeating bosses.

This is an open world game, so you can put a boss you're struggling with on hold and come back at a later time after getting more powerful.
