For achievement hunters of Hi-Fi RUSH, this is an 100% achievements guide to help you to collect them all.

Introduction

This game was really fun so I decided to make a 100% achievement guide. This is my first time making a guide and if there’s anything wrong with it please let me know in the comments below. There are a couple ones I don’t have images for yet but maybe i’ll add them in later.

*SPOILERS AHEAD!*

TAGS:
[BASE] – Hideout specific ones.
[DIFFICULTY] – The difficulty of the game.
[STORY] – Story Only usually unmissable.
[GRIND] – Requiring to spend time on doing a certain action multiple times.
[FIND] – Looking around every corner for a certain thing or finding a secret.
[UPG] – Upgrades that can be found in the levels or purchased through the shop for Gears.
[SHOP] – Can only be achieved by making purchases through the shop with Gears you find in every level.
[ASSIST] – Assist focused combat.
[END] – End game content.

Note

This game has no missable achievements since you can just select the levels again, though it does require multiple playthroughs because of the difficulties and requires you to backtrack anyway for other missed content.

I recommend starting on either Normal or Hard if you can’t get used to the feeling right away and you will get upgrades later so it makes the other difficulties easier. Also I used Easy difficulty for getting those no-hit boss runs, but you can play any difficulty you desire since later you’ll unlock level select.
(One of them is a unlock which requires you to beat the game.)

One of the achievements require you to complete the Wall of Fame (The big board at the hangout.) It’s basically your in-game achievements that give you rewards and some of these are tied to steam achievements. Most of them are finding stuff or just doing the same action for X amount of times. So it’s a good idea to check your Wall of Fame on what you are missing.

Difficulty Achievements

There are 4 difficulties you can start with and 1 that you unlock after beating the game once. I would rather start on Normal or Hard for the first playthrough, so I can use Easy to easily clear the other Wall of Fame stuff without having problems. But play whatever difficulty you would like to experience. The higher the difficulty, the more damage the enemies will do to you and the tighter the windows to execute the beats for combos. After beating the game, you can select any stage or difficulty you would like to replay.
Remember to clear each stage in its respective difficulty for the achievement.Hi-Fi RUSH 100% Achievements Guide[DIFFICULTY] Easy Listening
Finish the game completing every level on the Easy difficulty.Hi-Fi RUSH 100% Achievements Guide[DIFFICULTY] Well that was a rush!

Hi-Fi RUSH 100% Achievements Guide[DIFFICULTY] And the crowd goes wild!
Finish the game and complete every level on the Very Hard difficulty.

Hi-Fi RUSH 100% Achievements Guide[DIFFICULTY] Didn’t skip a beat!
Finish the game and complete every level on the Rhythm Master difficulty.

The only way to unlock this is to beat the game. Not only is this hardest difficulty, you also have to keep your Rhythm Meter above D or else you die.

These next two can be done on any difficulty.

Hi-Fi RUSH 100% Achievements Guide[DIFFICULTY] I hit things with a guitar really well.
Finish a stage with a S rank for every Chorus. (Any difficulty.)

Hi-Fi RUSH 100% Achievements Guide[DIFFICULTY] I’m untouchable!
Finish a stage without taking any damage. (Any difficulty.)

Tip: You can save scum these if you really want. I completed both of these on Track 6 because it was short and simple but you can pick any and the method would still work.

Story Achievements

These are self-explanatory.

Hi-Fi RUSH 100% Achievements Guide [STORY] Does that say weakpoint?

When QA-1MIL attacks with it’s hands, it will sit there for a bit after the attack goes through. Smack the hands and it will eventually open up, which will allow you to follow up with a rhythm attack. Do this with both hands and you will get this achievement.

(You might obtain this while fighting QA-1MIL so that’s why I tagged this with Story.)
