All you need to know about the achievements you can get in Eden Rising.
Perfection time, difficulty, DLC, shameless self advertisement
The game isn’t hard to perfect, i would give it a 4/10.
It is not difficult, it is only time consuming. You need farm/grind a lot. Actually, only the last achievement is the painfull one. While i not perfected the game, only 24/26 for now, will be 25/26 soon, but i don’t want to double my playtime to get the last one, where you need to unlock all monster cores.
Please keep in mind you can keep playing your save once killed the main enemy of the game, it not having a “The End”. This means that the game don’t have any “missable” achievement.
Expected achievement perfection time: ~100h
DLC
The game is free but the content you can experience is limited. If you play it in solo. HOWEVER you can join to players who own ascendant edition DLC and so you can literally get all achievement and see all the content with your free copy. It is definetly harder that way (they might kick you, not allow free edition players to their game, etc), but it is possible.
If the guide helped you in any way then please respect my time spent/work on it and follow my curator:

-Monsters gives different exp based on their rarity and danger level.

The Experiment
Secret achievement, and it is currently not working according to some moderator on Eden Rising discord channel. My guess is, that this is for killing the Irradiated Chimera (same location as Isolation Chamber lore object). According to discord it will be fixed “VERY SOON” so if you manage to get it please let us know via comments here and leave some information about it if it is wasn’t for the Irradiated Chimera. Thanks
