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.
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.
Modern Ronin – Execute 1000 Slashes ability with Claudio.
Android Agility – Perform 15 Combos on The Essentia 2000’s standard attack.
Expert Hunter – Clear every monster den.
Note: there are 11 in the game.
Can’t Touch This! – Dodge 5 times in a row during battle.
Floats like a butterfly… – Dodge 15 times in a row during battle.
Mind Dungeon
These are for doing things in the mind dungeon, unlocked shortly before Vella joins your party, and after you visit the factory for the 2nd time.
Mild Gains – Achieve Level 5 in the Mind Dungeon.
Mentioned earlier, this one is story forced.
Self-Awareness – Learn all abilities in the Mind Dungeon
This will be unlocked at around level 20.
Enlightenment – Have Alex reach level 40 in the Mind Dungeon.
The max level for a normal game is 50, so if you’re fighting everything, you should get this without an issue.
