All achievements - Soulstice

By シ

From the beginning, only human, Initiate and Knight are available. Initiate is an easy difficulty for the very first playthrough if you've played slashers before. On your first playthrough on Initiate difficulty, you'll be able to upgrade Briar and Lute completely. After completing the storyline for the first time, you can choose another difficulty level or return for a Platinum or Diamond rating. All future playthroughs will be in NG+ mode only.

To get all the achievements you need to complete the game 4 times at different difficulty levels:

Initiate;
Knight;
Chimera;
Transcended.

Completing one difficulty level unlocks the next. On three difficulty levels, you must complete all chapters with a Platinum or Diamond rating:

Initiate;
Knight;
Chimera.

Before starting the playthrough, recommend enabling detailed statistics in the settings: "SETTINGS" -> "GENERAL" -> "Additional Score Info".
Transcended form for Briar will be available to you on NG+. You can use it to easily clear all arenas.

There are no missable achievements in the game. Through the mission selection menu, you can check collectables and completion rating. But there are achievements that are recommended to get as early as possible: "Your wounds... They are healing so fast! - Recover more than half of your health in a fight, without using consumable items". It is recommended that you complete this achievement before the health bar is fully upgraded.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀You want more? I've got more!
It is optimal to complete this achievement in addition to completing the "Bring it on!" achievement.
The easiest way to do this is in the first chapter. The time available for the mission is enough, completion of the mission without damage guarantees a Diamond rating. In the first chapter there are only 4 battles. After completing the storyline, you will have access to the entire arsenal and Lute's skills, which will make it easier to complete the chapter.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀A legend among Chimeras
Requires you to complete the game 4 times at different difficulty levels:
Initiate;
Knight;
Chimera;
Transcended.
Completing one difficulty level unlocks the next.

⠀⠀⠀✦ 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙿𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚂

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀We strike as one
The easiest way to do this is in chapter 19. There you have to get up on the elevator and defeat all the waves. Or at the end of chapter 6, when enemies spawn endlessly. In Briar's skills you need to buy skills for each weapon:
Ashen Vindicator - Ferocious Assault;
Ashen Enforcer – Thunderous Advance;
Hand of Retribution - Unstoppable Force;
Hallowed Hunter – True Shot;
Tearing Penance – Lashing Storm;
Merciful Blades – Vicious Dance;
Fiery Zealots – Brazen Barrage.
Lute needs to have the following skills:
To quickly increase unity, you can buy more skills for Lute:
Deep Synergy & Deep Synergy II – offense skill-tree;
Perfect Slow II – defense skill-tree.
A Synergy attack is successful if it is executed at the maximum level of unity. The combination is the same for all weapons: [hit],[hit], pause, [hit],[hit],[hit]. Use the sound or the lighting of the weapons. Hit 2 times and stop, as soon as your weapon lights up and you hear a sound, then keep hitting. If the combination is entered correctly, you will see a cutscene in which Biar hits an enemy. If the game time has just slowed down instead of the cutscene, the synergetic attack will not be counted.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀Pride is a sin, young Knight
Tearing Penance weapon dealing more damage in a radius. There is a chance that Donovan will target an enemy with armor and won't be able to kill him without your help. While Donovan is focused on an enemy with armor, kill the rest enemies.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀There's too many of them!
Chapter 5. It is necessary to get the Lute's skills, so on the first walkthrough this achievement can't be done. When the Boss summons the clones, try to get as close to them as possible, but do not attack them. Luth should attack and destroy them herself. Just dodge the clones' attacks and keep your distance. The boss spawns clones in the second phase when he has 3/4 health remaining. In the first phase, increase the unity level and hold it. If you get damage from clones in the second phase, the unity level will decrease.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀Their fate is sealed
Chapter 11. Weavers begin to heal the other one if he falls. It is necessary to kill both weavers at the same time.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀Not even from this world
The stranger is in chapter 23. Not a missable achievement if you collect all the collectibles in chapter 23.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀Something... unnatural
Requires a Diamond rating in chapter 24 and chapter 25. For Diamond rank, you need to complete at least 2/3 of the requirements:
CHAPTER 24
CHAPTER 25
Take less than 15 000 damage
Take less than 10 000 damage
Final score 32 000
Final score 30 000
The time is less than 9:59
The time is less than 9:59

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀They wanted yet another monster…
Achievements require completing all missions for a "Platinum" rating at a minimum. The maximum possible rating is "Diamond". For the three difficulty levels, you must complete all 25 chapters with a Platinum or Diamond rating.
The chapter rating is based on the number of completed battles, average battle rating, and time spent on the chapter. In the chapter selection menu, you can replay a chapter at any time.
The rating of a battle is based on the number of various techniques performed, the damage dealt, and the time spent in the battle. At the end of each battle, the rating is calculated and given a score. This rating is included in the final statistics for each battle individually at the end of the chapter.
Each battle and each mission is calculated on 3 categories. The table shows the minimum allowable rank for each of the three categories required for Platinum/Diamond rank. The order of ranking for the 3 categories is not important.

Before starting the playthrough, recommend enabling detailed statistics in the settings: "SETTINGS" -> "GENERAL" -> "Additional Score Info". Transcended form for Briar will be available to you on NG+. You can use it to easily clear all arenas.

Below is a table of the minimum requirements to obtain the Platinum rank for each category:

⠀⠀⠀✦ 𝙾𝙿𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽𝙰𝙻 𝙱𝙰𝚃𝚃𝙻𝙴𝚂

*In Chapter 7, during the chase through the infected city, enemies spawn endlessly. You can get the necessary score during infinite spawns, optional fights can be skipped.

Most missions have optional fights that can be skipped. For Diamond/Platinum rank it is recommended to complete all fights, because it is an additional rating that is summed up at the end of the mission. All optional fights are listed below.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✦⠀Your wounds… They are healing so fast!
Do not upgrade the health bar to the max, otherwise the achievement is harder to get.

Awesome! Thank you and good job.

How long do you think this took to 100%
I checked your playtime, but Steam is saying you don't even own the game, which is super odd, since you made such a great guide.
