Heartbreaker✓ Unlocked
Defeat a Visitor by pulling out its core. ¡ 89.4% of players
~2 minutes
Weaken a Visitor until its core is exposed, then rip the core out.

Ethereal Weaving damage strips a Visitor's defences until a glowing core is left hanging in front of it. Close the distance and use the core-grab prompt to pull it out. This is the game's standard finisher, so it will unlock in your first real fight without any effort.

Beginnings✓ Unlocked
Hidden achievement83.5% of players
~Unknown
Hidden achievement - trigger not published by Steam.

Hidden achievement. Steam does not publish a description for this one and we have not verified its exact trigger, so we are not going to guess at it. Work through the campaign and the optional content normally; if it still has not popped, check the community tips below or a community guide.

Opening a Path✓ Unlocked
Cleanse a torii gate. ¡ 80.8% of players
~5 minutes
Cleanse your first torii gate.

Torii gates are marked on the map as you get near them. Approach the gate and hold the cleanse prompt. Cleansing a gate clears the fog around it and opens up more of the map, so you will be doing this constantly anyway.

Treasure Hunter✓ Unlocked
Acquire a relic. ¡ 78.7% of players
~10 minutes
Pick up any relic.

Relics are collectible objects scattered through Shibuya and inside buildings, and your spirit vision highlights nearby ones. Grab the first one you walk past.

Animal Lover✓ Unlocked

Roadside Spirituality✓ Unlocked
Pray to a Jizo statue. ¡ 65.6% of players
⚡ Quick win~2 minutes
Pray at a Jizo statue.

Jizo statues sit at roadsides and in alleys around the city. Walk up to one and hold the prayer prompt. Praying at a Jizo statue also increases what you can carry, so it is worth doing at every one you find.

Echoes of the Past✓ Unlocked
Acquire a voice log. ¡ 63.8% of players
~10 minutes
Pick up any voice log.

Voice logs are audio collectibles found in the world and inside buildings. Collect the first one you come across.

Problem Solver✓ Unlocked
Complete a side mission. ¡ 61.5% of players
~20 minutes
Finish any side mission.

Side missions appear as markers on the map once you have cleansed enough of the surrounding area. Any one of them counts, so take the first short one you are offered.

It's All Thanks to Yokai✓ Unlocked
Acquire a magatama. ¡ 58.6% of players
~20 minutes
Acquire a magatama.

Magatama are the currency you spend on the Spirit Skill tree. They come from finishing optional objectives and helping yokai around the city. Your first one arrives early in normal play.

Soul Breaker✓ Unlocked
Defeat 50 Visitors by pulling out their cores. ¡ 51.8% of players
~Cumulative
Rip the cores out of 50 Visitors.

This is just the core-grab finisher repeated. Since it is the fastest way to kill a weakened Visitor, it accumulates on its own across the campaign. If you are short at the end, clear a few torii-gate fights and finish every enemy by hand instead of with Quick Purge.

Trouble✓ Unlocked

Couldn't Take the Heat✓ Unlocked
Defeat at least 3 Visitors simultaneously by detonating a red ether crystal. ¡ 28.8% of players
~10 minutes
Kill three or more Visitors at once with a red ether crystal.

Red ether crystals are explosive objects in the environment. Wait until at least three Visitors are grouped near one, then shoot or detonate it. Larger enemy groups in open street fights give you the easiest setup.

Boundless Spirit✓ Unlocked
Acquire the maximum number of katashiro. ¡ 25.8% of players
~Cumulative
Carry the maximum number of katashiro.

Your katashiro capacity increases as you pray at Jizo statues and progress. Keep praying at every Jizo statue you pass and this caps out well before you finish the collectible hunt.

Contortion✓ Unlocked

Talismania✓ Unlocked
Acquire all talismans (excluding update content). ¡ 25.1% of players
~Cumulative
Acquire every talisman in the base game.

Talismans are bought and unlocked as you progress and explore. Note the description's own wording: update content is excluded, so the base-game set is all you need for this one. Check the talisman menu for any you have not picked up yet.

Severance✓ Unlocked

Helping Hand✓ Unlocked
Transfer 25% of the spirits in the city. ¡ 23.9% of players
~Cumulative
Transfer 25% of Shibuya's spirits.

Spirits are gathered with katashiro and then transferred at payphones. Empty your katashiro at a phone every time you fill up. The percentage counter is visible on the map screen, so you can track progress directly.

Master of Blocking✓ Unlocked
Perform a total of 30 Perfect Blocks. ¡ 22.0% of players
~Cumulative
Land 30 Perfect Blocks.

A Perfect Block is a block timed to the moment an attack lands rather than held early. Practise against slower melee Visitors whose wind-ups are easy to read, and hold off pressing block until the swing is already coming down.

Take a Bow✓ Unlocked
Defeat a total of 50 Visitors using the bow. ¡ 18.5% of players
~Cumulative
Kill 50 Visitors with the bow.

Once you have the bow, use it as your opener on every encounter. Arrows are recoverable, so committing to bow openings for a few hours of play covers this comfortably.

Liberator✓ Unlocked
Cleanse all torii gates (excluding update content). ¡ 17.9% of players
~Cumulative
Cleanse every torii gate in the base game.

Cleansed gates are marked on the map, so this is a matter of sweeping each district until no uncleansed gate icons remain. As with Talismania, the description excludes update content.

In Sync✓ Unlocked
Wire In a total of 10 times. ¡ 17.8% of players
~Cumulative
Wire In ten times.

Wire In is the extended-range spirit interaction the game prompts you to use on specific objects and doors. Ten uses arrive naturally in the first few hours.

Pious✓ Unlocked
Put a total of 10,000 meika into offering boxes. ¡ 16.9% of players
~Cumulative
Put 10,000 meika into offering boxes.

Offering boxes sit at shrines around the city. Meika accumulates quickly from combat and exploration, so donate whenever you pass a box rather than saving it up.

One Fell Swoop✓ Unlocked
Defeat at least 5 Visitors simultaneously by pulling out their cores. ¡ 15.6% of players
~20 minutes
Core-grab five Visitors at the same time.

When you rip a core out while several other Visitors are also core-exposed and close together, the finisher chains between them. Weaken a large group with an area attack first so several cores are exposed simultaneously, then grab. Dense street encounters are the best place to try.

Unparalleled Talismaniac✓ Unlocked
STU: Acquire all newly-added talismans. ¡ 15.0% of players
~Cumulative
Acquire every talisman added by The Spider's Thread update.

This one is scoped to the update content rather than the base game, so you need the newly-added talismans specifically. Work through the update's content and check the talisman menu for gaps.

Unexpected Visitors✓ Unlocked
STU: Defeat at least one of every newly-added type of Visitor. ¡ 14.5% of players
~Cumulative
Defeat at least one of each new Visitor type from the update.

Again scoped to the update's additions only. Keep an eye on your Visitor catalogue entries as you play the new content and hunt down any type you have not killed yet.

On the Same Wavelength✓ Unlocked
Raise your synergy level to 50 or higher. ¡ 14.2% of players
~Cumulative
Reach synergy level 50 or higher.

Synergy rises through the course of normal play. If you are short, keep doing the activities that feed it rather than rushing the main story.

Savior✓ Unlocked
Transfer 50% of the spirits in the city. ¡ 13.1% of players
~Cumulative
Transfer 50% of Shibuya's spirits.

The same loop as Helping Hand, at double the total. Collect with katashiro, transfer at payphones, and watch the percentage on the map screen.

Lonely Tsukimi✓ Unlocked
Hidden achievement12.5% of players
~Unknown
Hidden achievement - trigger not published by Steam.

Hidden achievement. Steam does not publish a description for this one and we have not verified its exact trigger, so we are not going to guess at it. Work through the campaign and the optional content normally; if it still has not popped, check the community tips below or a community guide.

Further Liberation✓ Unlocked
STU: Cleanse all newly-added torii gates. ¡ 11.6% of players
~Cumulative
Cleanse every torii gate added by the update.

Scoped to the update's new gates only, so the base-game sweep does not count toward it. Look for uncleansed gate icons in the areas the update adds.

Scary Stories to Tell at School✓ Unlocked
Hidden achievement9.8% of players
~Unknown
Hidden achievement - trigger not published by Steam.

Hidden achievement. Steam does not publish a description for this one and we have not verified its exact trigger, so we are not going to guess at it. Work through the campaign and the optional content normally; if it still has not popped, check the community tips below or a community guide.

Go For the Eyes✓ Unlocked
Defeat a total of 20 Visitors with headshots. ¡ 9.7% of players
~Cumulative
Land 20 headshot kills.

Headshots are easiest with the bow against stationary or slow-moving Visitors. Twenty is a small number, so this falls out of using the bow at all.

Visiting Hours Are Over✓ Unlocked
Defeat at least one of every type of Visitor (excluding update content). ¡ 9.5% of players
~Cumulative
Defeat one of every base-game Visitor type.

Your Visitor catalogue lists the types and marks the ones you have killed. Work through the list and hunt down any you are missing. Update-added types are excluded.

Big Spender✓ Unlocked
Spend a total of 1,000,000 meika. ¡ 9.4% of players
~Cumulative
Spend 1,000,000 meika in total.

This is total spend, not a balance you have to reach. Buy consumables, ammo and food freely rather than hoarding, and it resolves during a completion run.

Walking on Air✓ Unlocked
Hidden achievement9.2% of players
~Unknown
Hidden achievement - trigger not published by Steam.

Hidden achievement. Steam does not publish a description for this one and we have not verified its exact trigger, so we are not going to guess at it. Work through the campaign and the optional content normally; if it still has not popped, check the community tips below or a community guide.

Silent Kill✓ Unlocked
Defeat a total of 200 Visitors using Quick Purge. ¡ 9.1% of players
~Cumulative
Kill 200 Visitors with Quick Purge.

Quick Purge is the stealth finisher on an unaware Visitor. Approach enemies unseen wherever possible instead of opening with weaving. Two hundred is a real number, so make stealth openers a habit from early on.

With Their Powers Combined✓ Unlocked
Acquire 40 or more different magatama. ¡ 7.3% of players
~Cumulative
Hold 40 or more different magatama.

Different magatama come from different optional activities and yokai, so variety matters more than volume. Clearing side content broadly rather than repeating one activity is what gets you there.

Pilgrim✓ Unlocked
Pray to all Jizo statues. ¡ 6.5% of players
~Cumulative
Pray at every Jizo statue.

Statues are spread across every district. Cleansing gates reveals more of the map, which in turn reveals statue locations, so cleanse first and sweep second.

Collector✓ Unlocked
Acquire all relics. ¡ 5.6% of players
~Several hours
Acquire every relic.

Relics are the largest collectible set in the game and many are inside buildings rather than on the street. Cleanse gates to reveal the map, then sweep district by district with spirit vision up. Compare against the in-game collection menu to find what is missing.

Freeze, Scumbag✓ Unlocked
Defeat a total of 10 Visitors with Quick Purge while they are held by a Stun Talisman. ¡ 5.6% of players
~30 minutes
Quick Purge ten Visitors held by a Stun Talisman.

Throw a Stun Talisman into a group, then walk up and Quick Purge the held enemies one at a time before the effect wears off. A single good group can give you several at once.

Salvation of All✓ Unlocked
Transfer at least 100% of the spirits in the city. ¡ 5.4% of players
~Several hours
Transfer at least 100% of the city's spirits.

This is the full spirit sweep, and the counter can exceed 100%. Keep a payphone route in mind, empty katashiro often, and treat spirit collecting as the thing you do between missions rather than after them.

Mind and Body✓ Unlocked
Unlock all Spirit Skills (excluding update content). ¡ 5.4% of players
~Cumulative
Unlock every base-game Spirit Skill.

The skill tree is bought with magatama, so this is gated on collecting enough of them. Prioritise magatama-granting side content over story progress if you are completing the game.

Your Tail's Showing✓ Unlocked
Find all of the missing tanuki. ¡ 5.3% of players
~Several hours
Find every missing tanuki.

Tanuki hide in the world disguised as ordinary objects that look slightly wrong for their surroundings. Check the in-game tracker for how many remain in each district and sweep methodically.

Left Yourself Open✓ Unlocked
Defeat a total of 10 Visitors by exposing their cores with Exposure Talismans and ripping them out. ¡ 5.2% of players
~30 minutes
Rip the cores from ten Visitors exposed by an Exposure Talisman.

An Exposure Talisman forces the core out without the usual weaving damage. Throw one into a group and immediately core-grab the affected enemies. Grouped encounters let you bank several per talisman.

Wishmaker✓ Unlocked
Complete all side missions (excluding update content). ¡ 5.1% of players
~Several hours
Complete every base-game side mission.

Side missions unlock as you cleanse each district, so full map cleansing comes first. Update-added missions are excluded by the description's own wording.

Figure Aficionado✓ Unlocked
STU: Try your luck at capsule machines at least 50 times. ¡ 5.1% of players
~20 minutes
Use capsule machines 50 times in the update content.

Purely a spending grind on the update's capsule machines. Meika is plentiful by the time you reach it, so stand at a machine and repeat.

Hero of Shibuya✓ Unlocked
Complete the main story after transferring at least 100% of the spirits in the city. ¡ 4.9% of players
~Several hours
Finish the main story with 100% of spirits already transferred.

Order matters here: the spirit sweep has to be done before you finish the final story mission, not after. Hold off on the last mission until the spirit counter has hit 100%, otherwise you are looking at another playthrough.

Don't Worry About It✓ Unlocked
Hidden achievement4.8% of players

Hidden achievement. Steam does not publish a description for this one and we have not verified its exact trigger, so we are not going to guess at it. Work through the campaign and the optional content normally; if it still has not popped, check the community tips below or a community guide.

Shibuya Is My Back Yard✓ Unlocked
Find all landmarks. ¡ 4.6% of players

Landmarks are map points of interest rather than pickups. Cleanse gates to reveal them, then visit each one.

DJ Akito✓ Unlocked
Acquire all music tracks (excluding update content). ¡ 4.4% of players
~Several hours
Acquire every base-game music track.

Tracks come from exploration and purchases. Check the music menu for gaps and note that the description excludes update content.

Trendsetter✓ Unlocked
Acquire all items for the Outfit menu (excluding bonus and update content). ¡ 4.0% of players
~Several hours
Acquire every base-game outfit item.

The description excludes both bonus and update content, so pre-order and DLC cosmetics are not required. Outfit items come from shops and exploration; check the outfit menu against what you have.

A Shrubbery!✓ Unlocked
Defeat a total of 3 Visitors with Quick Purge while hiding in bushes created by a Thicket Talisman. ¡ 3.8% of players
~20 minutes
Quick Purge three Visitors while hidden in Thicket Talisman bushes.

On-The-Job Training✓ Unlocked
STU: Unlock all newly-added Spirit Skills. ¡ 3.8% of players
~Cumulative
Unlock every Spirit Skill added by the update.

Scoped to the update's new skills. Keep collecting magatama in the update content until the new branches are fully bought.

Gourmand✓ Unlocked
Acquire all types of food and drink. ¡ 3.7% of players
~Several hours
Acquire every type of food and drink.

Food and drink come from convenience stores and vending machines across the city. Different shops stock different items, so visit widely rather than repeatedly buying from one.

Sniper✓ Unlocked

The Whole Truth✓ Unlocked

Views From the Abyss✓ Unlocked

~Several hours
Complete every nekomata job in The Spider's Thread.
