I froze when the final boss room emptied and my achievement list still had blanks. You have that small, cold moment when completion feels just out of reach. I stayed—because finishing this list is a particular kind of stubbornness.
I’ve chased every badge in Echoes of Aincrad, tested routes, and cross-checked community guides on Steam and Reddit so you don’t waste time repeating dead ends. The achievement list is a cold ledger: neat, indifferent, and brutally honest about what you haven’t done. Below I walk you through each milestone, the easy points you can grab between dungeons, and the handful that demand patience.
You tapped the achievements tab mid-raid and felt your pulse rise. How to complete all achievements in Echoes of Aincrad
There are 52 achievements in the full release. I’m going to map the obvious pickups and the hidden grinds so you can plan sessions around momentum instead of frustration. Use Steam guides, YouTube walkthroughs, and a Discord party for the boss clears that need two heads and steady timing.
How many achievements are there in Echoes of Aincrad?
52 total in the full version. That count includes story milestones, collection badges, weapon-skill masters, partner unlocks, and endgame completion trophies. If you want a clean checklist, pin the in-game Database and track equipment and monster entries as you go.
How do I get all achievements?
Play the main story to open most entries, grind specific weapon skills to maximum for multiple trophies, collect item and monster Database entries, and defeat 100 bosses for the Boss Killer award. Some achievements are purely exploratory—visit every town, open chests, and attend to side quests when the game gives them. If you need coordinated boss attempts, recruit help through the Steam community or a Discord group.
Which achievements are the hardest?
Expect the time-sinks to be: player level 100, mastering every weapon Sword Skill for multiple types (Sword, Dagger, Rapier, Two-Handed Sword, Two-Handed Axe, Mace), and collecting all keystones. The Prismatic Powerhouse—the keystone sweep—requires patience and repeated dungeon runs. For monetary goals, the Incorrigible Wealth entry asks for a million Col; enemies drop Col and side activities add steady income.
The map revealed a town I had ignored for days. Quick wins, key grinds, and the partner checklist
Start with what you can snag in normal play: story progression hands you several achievements as you move through towns—Horunka, Tolbana, Urbus, Marone, Taran—and prolog completion grants the opener. Collectibles and Database entries scale naturally with exploration. The task list below breaks every achievement into the action you need to take.

Use the table above as your master checklist. Mark off story-linked achievements on your first playthrough and save the skill grinds for focused sessions. If you own the game on Steam (price often sits near $19.99 (€18)), pin guides from GameFAQs and a short YouTube clip for hard boss strategies.
You found a chest in town and realized some trophies are purely opportunistic. Endgame chores, collections, and database targets
Collecting Database entries—the monster, item, and character logs—covers a surprising number of achievements. Treat dungeons as both loot runs and data-gathering trips. The final trophy is a mountain of glass: fragile in the moment of achievement, heavy with effort afterward.
Practical tips:
- Prioritize weapon skills across classes in batches. Mastering one tree fully nets an achievement and narrows the remaining grind.
- Track equipment types by slot to finish the collector achievements for swords, daggers, axes, maces, armors, gloves, bottoms, and shields.
- Group bosses with friends for repeat Ark clears to increase keystone and rare drop odds; community raid requests on Steam or Discord speed things up.
If you want a ritual: clear a stable farming route for Col and keystones, then schedule short, focused sessions for each weapon type until the database and collections are complete. Want to argue which trophy is the most tedious or clever?
