Introduction

 

One of the more bizarre games of the year, Asura’s wrath doesn’t cease to entertain, with a vibrant anime styled world, amazing battles and action, and a story that you can’t help to love. While more of the game is told through interactive cut scenes, the actual fights and bosses of the game is the reason gamers will come back for more! This guide aims to help gamers get the full 1000 :gsicon: as quickly as possible, so I hope you find this useful.

 

Step 1: Normal difficulty playthrough

For your first playthrough, it’s recommended to start on Normal rather than easy (There are no difficulty achievements for easy difficulty, starting on normal would save an extra playthrough). For this one try to aim for an “A” or “S” result in all the episodes, getting at least 10 “S” ranks (this will get two gauges that you will need for the next playthroughs). The other achievements to look out for on normal are the “Shut up…” achievements. Play the game through on Normal and beat the "Secret Episode" once you finish the game and your first playthrough is complete. You can use unlockable or pre-order bonus gauges as they will not disable any achievements.

 

Step 2: Blind master Gauge Playthrough

 

For this step you will be doing another playthrough with the “Blind master” gauge equipped. This gauge disables all other gauges in the game, so you’ll need to tread with caution to survive. To make this easier, I’d recommend doing this on easy mode. Also take this opportunity to finish collecting combat achievements that you didn’t finish from the normal playthrough (burst, counters, unlimited mode kills, excellent prompts etc...)

 

Step 3: Mortal gauge Playthrough

 

For this step you will be doing another playthrough with the “Mortal” gauge equipped. This will reduce your life gauge, so again I’d recommend going through on easy for this one.

 

Step 4: Hard Playthrough

 

The final playthrough will be dedicated to going through on the hard difficulty. This can be testing, and by now you should have all the gauges unlocked, so equip one of your choice (I would take the defender or the obliterator gauge) to make this easier. If you would rather cut down on a playthrough, then you can equip either the “mortal” or “blind” gauge to save time, but this can make things much more difficult

 

Step 5: Unfinished business

 

Now all that’s left to do is to get any “S” ranks you missed on normal and hard, and anything else you missed.

 

Conclusion

 

I hope you guys find the game very fun and this guide useful on your road to 1000G, so release the wrath!

 

WARNING!

 

For story related achievements, do not skip the cutscenes that they correspond to, otherwise the achievement will not unlock.

Activate Burst a certain number of times.

 

The number of times required for this achievement is 50 times.

 

For more on bursts see "A Roar of Fury"

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPpMvfo=.jpgA Roar of Fury-20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Activate Burst a certain number of times.

 

The number of times required is 100 times.

 

To perform a burst, you have to fill the gauge underneath your health gauge by attacking enemies (normally rapid fire attacks that are performed with the :xbut:button do not fill the gauge but they do in shooting sections). Once full, press :rtbut:to activate burst. Burst progresses the levels, you should reach 100 around your second playthrough

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPlrqfQ=.jpgHit'Em Hard-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Defeat a certain number of enemies with a special attack.

 

The number of kills required is 100

 

See more on special attacks on "Hit'Em Harder"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPv5Dk0=.jpgHit'Em Harder-20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Defeat a certain number of enemies with a special attack.

 

The numbers of kills required is 300

 

Special attacks are executed with :ybut: when enemies are downed but not defeated, a prompt will appear over the enemies head. Special attacks cannot be used if you're overheating, and once used asura will overheat (except in unlimited mode). An easy way to knock down enemies is to hold down :bbut:to knock them into the air

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP5b5bQ=.jpgCan't Touch This-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Perform a certain number of counterattacks.

 

The number of counters required is 50

 

See more on counterattacks on "Can't Touch That"

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP+7HSc=.jpgCan't Touch That-20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Perform a certain number of counterattacks.

 

Number of counterattacks required are 100

 

Counterattacks can be activated when the enemy flashes white during an attack. Then you will be prompted to press either :bbut: or :ybut:, press the right one and asura will counterattack.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP2aFJI=.jpgThey Don't Stand a Chance-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Defeat a certain number of enemies while in Unlimited Mode.

 

The number of kills required is 50.

 

See more on unlimited mode on "Unstoppable force"

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPx67AE=.jpgUnstoppable Force-20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Defeat a certain number of enemies while in Unlimited Mode.

 

Number of kills required is 100

 

Unlimited mode is activated by filling the small, symbol-like gauge underneath the burst gauge. Once it is filled, press:ltbut:. In this mode attacks do more damage, self-damage is greatly reduced and you won't overheat from heavy or special attacks. Wait until you are in a enemy filled area to activate, as you cannot remain in this form for long.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP9d+A8=.jpgTaking Out the Trash-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Defeat a certain number of enemies with heavy attacks, lock-on fire,or both.

 

The number of kills are 300

 

Heavy attacks hit all those in a close meter radius, but overheats asura for a while, whilst lock on fire attacks are used by moving the crosshairs over targets to lock on in shooting sections, then fires lock on attacks at the selected targets. They are both activated with :ybut:. To make this easier, use only lock on fire in the shooting sections, and heavy attacks when enemies are many in the normal sections (unlimited mode makes heavy attacks easier by removing the cooldown procedure). Do it like this and you should have unlocked it by chapter 10.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP69AJw=.jpgQuick on the Draw-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Achieve a certain number of EXCELLENT synchronic impact rankings.

 

The number of rankings required are 70

 

For more on EXCELLENT's look at "Lightning Reflexes"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP0D7V0=.jpgLightning Reflexes-20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Achieve a certain number of EXCELLENT synchronic impact rankings.

 

The number of rankings required are 150

 

During quick time events, you have to press a button with a circle quickly shrinking to the same size as the button prompt. Wait for it to become near the exact size as the prompt then press it to achieve an EXCELLENT. You should reach this number around your 2nd-3rd playthrough

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP8i5Og=.jpgBe the Fist-20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Achieve a certain percentage for your overall synchronic rate average.

 

You need to achieve at least 80 % on your synchronic rate average. This isnt that hard, just always be ready during cutscenes and aim for EXCELLENT's. If you end lower, just replay episodes where you had a low synchronic rate and it will eventually pop up.

Prove that you can take a beating.

 

You need to receive a total of 10000 in damage for this one

 

This is one you should get quite early on, I achieved this around episode 9, but with all the playthroughs including the one on hard, it's unlikely you will miss this one.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPtg94I=.jpgToo Legit to Quit-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

If at first you don't succeed...

 

Very easy to unlock this one. To get it, you have to die, and when you come to the continue screen simply restart last checkpoint, and this will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPqADxE=.jpgLook Ma, No Eyes!-30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete all episodes with a certain gauge equipped.

 

The gauge required is the "Blind Master" gauge, which is gained by getting an "A" on all episodes on any difficulty

 

This disables ALL gauges being visible throughout the game (Infinity, health, burst and the overheat gauge), meaning you won't know how close or far you are from filling the burst gauge. Plan your moves, and attack patiently. To make this easier, do this on easy difficulty. Unlimited mode is automatically activated with this gauge equipped

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPihBqQ=.jpgWho Needs Health?-90 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete all episodes with a certain gauge equipped.

 

The gauge required is the "Mortal" gauge, which is gained by getting 10 "S" ranks on any difficulty.

 

This gauge reduces your health massively, and some bosses can kill you in 3 hits (even on easy mode!). You need to learn enemy attack patterns, and be patient with each move with this gauge. Again, do this on easy to reduce difficulty and unlimited mode is automatically trigged.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP2DLNY=.jpgKa-ching!-30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Accumulate a certain number of battle points.

 

You need 120000 battle points.

 

You will eventually get this in time; I got this on the final episodes, and if you don't you should unlock it at the beginning of your 2nd playthrough.

 

For more on battle points see "Deity"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPxj1EU=.jpgView of the Valley-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Give in to your male instincts.

 

During the hot-spring scene in episode 10, when you have the choice to perform different options, focus the camera on the attendant's..ahem, chest with the :rs:. Once she covers up her assets, your achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP5C3fA=.jpgLike a Fish-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Knock back a few bottles.

 

During the hot-spring scene in episode 10, you need to chug 3 times with the :ybut:. On the 3rd time your achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP+iJWM=.jpgSometimes I Feel Like...-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find all the peeping toms at the hot spring.

 

During the hot-spring scene in episode 10, there will be enemies looking on. You need to look left, then right, and then look up 3 times. You need to wait until the enemies stop moving once you see them.

 

Heres a video for those who need further help with the hot spring achievements:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UPyFMW0=.jpgShut Up, Wyzen!-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Interrupt the fat one's monologue.

 

During episode 4, Wyzen will start speaking near the end, and you will be prompted to press :bbut:to "shut him up". Just press it and your achievement will be unlocked.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP1lyf4=.jpgShut Up, Kalrow!-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Interrupt the old one's monologue.

 

In episode 9, you will be prompted the same way as you were for Wyzen near the end. Kalrow's speech is very short, so press quickly to unlock your achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/UP7bJD8=.jpgShut Up, Augus!-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Interrupt your former master's monologue.

 

In the beginning of episode 11, you will be prompted the same way as the other two achievements. Press :bbut: and it will unlock.

Once you have unlocked the last of the achievements (excluding this one) You will unlock this with it, completing your path of wrath.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/s5.jpgThe Truth Hurts-10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Uncover the truth.

 

To get this you must beat True episode 18: Turn of events.

 

This is unlocked by getting at least 5 "S" ranks or completing 50 episodes (Since that means total episodes played and replayed needs to be 50, its wiser to go with the "S" ranks), it's really the same episode, just with an extended ending cutscene. Once you reach the result screen this will pop up.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/s6.jpgFighter-30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete all episodes on Normal or higher

 

Self-explanatory, you need to beat al 19 episodes (including the secret episode) to unlock all episode completion achievements.

 

.http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/s7.jpgWarrior-90 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete all episodes on Hard.

 

Same as "Fighter" but just on hard difficulty. To make hard easier, equip the obliterator gauge to breeze past this playthrough.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/s8.jpgDemigod-30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete all episodes with at least an A rank on Normal.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/s11.jpgDeity-90 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete all episodes with an S rank on Hard.

 

For these achievements, you need an "S" rank on every episode (secret ep. included) on hard AND normal.

 

Ranking is based on 3 elements.

-Clear time

-Battle points

-Synchronic rate

You need 3 "S"'s or 2 "S"'s and one "A" in these elements to get an overall "S"

 

The obliterator gauge will aid you for this one. Since you won't face much of a great opposition clear time isn't a worry, however battle points are. Just don't die, Use alot of heavy attacks as there is no cooldown, and continue to fight even when the burst gauge is full to boost your rank, but not so long as to hinder your time rank.

 

Synchronic rate isn't too hard. Always be ready during cutscenes for those out-of-the-blue buttons, don't miss anything and aim for mostly EXCELLENT's. Do this and a "S" rank is yours.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1623/s12.jpgMortal-15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Im not trying to differentiate anything, i just felt like making a guide for two games, this and MGS: HD collection. Besides the game can have some difficult achievements. Its not to compete really, its just for fun.

 

I'll probably get round to finishing it later when I have the time

already a stickied guide and not really much you can say that's different, also you say 3 playthroughs but then in the road-map you list Normal, Blind Master, Mortal and then hard which is 4 playthroughs

 

3 Playthroughs would be the "minimum" required.

 

4 Playthroughs is the suggested method in his walkthrough.

just a quick question regarding skipping cutscenes: if i need to use the replay feature to get S ranks, as long as i've unlocked the chapter-/story-related achievements, it's alright to skip them, yes?

 

Yes you can skip all cutscenes that do not contain QTEs. The game will not allow you to miss any cutscene that will affect your Sync Percentage. So a playthrough on hard would only take about 2-3 hours if you are looking to S rank while skipping all unnecessary scenes.
