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 as quickly as possible.

Note: Don't skip cutscenes! You won't receive achievements for completing the chapter if you do!

Step 1: Normal Difficulty Playthrough
For your first playthrough, it’s recommended to start on Normal rather than easy since there are no difficulty achievements for easy difficulty. Starting on normal will 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 recommend 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 misse. Use the guide below for specific achievements.

Conclusion
I hope you guys find the game very fun and this guide useful on your road to 1000G, so release the wrath! 
 
 
DLC Episode Pack: Part IV


Introduction/ Review
After a month's wait, it's finally here. Following after one of the most bizarre endings to a videogame ever, players have been waiting for this epilogue pack to finally see how one of the most creative plotline wraps up. The question is, was this wait worth it?

With full confidence, yes. The last four episodes have some of the most imaginative fights this game has to offer. Some fights of the DLC are recycled from the original content, but this isn't a bad thing, for two reasons:
-These fights have been modified so they aren't completely the same as before
-There are few of these moments where data is recycled
What keeps this fresh and entertaining is that there are new gameplay features added as the story progresses, pushing Asura's wrath beyond its potential, leaving players wanting more. The four episodes consist of boss fights only (excluding one episode) and all of it will keep you hooked from the opening revelations, to the shocking heartbreaking conclusion.

My only complaint would be the story additions. The new villain is so quickly introduced and gives a rapid explanation of his backstory. But this is so quickly explained it's hard to feel whether this person is truly evil, what his ultimate purpose is or where he came from. Sadly these answers are never fully answered, leaving many questions (Not as many as the Mass effect 3 ending plotholes though). The twists in the story change our view on it all together, and you feel that this should've been included on the disk itself, rather than DLC. Also, there is a hint of a sequel, but its too ludicrous to believe if its either legit, or a joke.

Either way, its money well spent, and nicely wraps up this insane game. So now moving onto the achievements.It's not to hard to get the 6 Dlc achievements, as most of them are gained just by a playthrough on any difficulty,"Gaea's champion" is the only real challenge, and only if you haven't got a certain gauge. I'd recommend to start on normal and work your way through it, to get an understanding of what you're up against, then go through on hard for the "Gaea's champion" achievement. Or you could skip the hassle and start on hard from the get go, your choice. So, at long last, lets end the wrath.

Printable Guide

Show secret achievements

There are 53 achievements with a total of 1195 points

  • Activate Burst a certain number of times.

    Refer to A Roar of Fury. This requires 50 Bursts.

  • Activate Burst a certain number of times.

    You must activate Burst 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 button do not fill the gauge but they do in shooting sections). Once full, press to activate burst. Burst progresses the levels, you should reach 100 around your second playthrough

  • Defeat a certain number of enemies with a special attack.

    Refer to Hit'Em Harder. This requires 100 kills.

  • Defeat a certain number of enemies with a special attack.

    The numbers of kills required is 300.

    Special attacks are executed with 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 to knock them into the air

  • Perform a certain number of counterattacks.

    Refer to Can't Touch That. This requires 50 counterattacks.

  • Perform a certain number of counterattacks.

    Number of counterattacks required is 100.

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

  • Defeat a certain number of enemies while in Unlimited Mode.

    Refer to Unstoppable Force. This requires 50 kills.

  • Defeat a certain number of enemies while in Unlimited Mode.

    This requires 100 kills.

    Unlimited mode is activated by filling the small, symbol-like gauge underneath the burst gauge. Once it is filled, press. 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.

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

    This requires 300 kills.

    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 . 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.

  • Achieve a certain number of EXCELLENT synchronic impact rankings.

    Refer to Lightning Reflexes. This requires 70 rankings.

  • Achieve a certain number of EXCELLENT synchronic impact rankings.

    This requires 150 rankings.

    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 second or third playthrough.

  • 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 exellents. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Accumulate a certain number of battle points.

    You need 120000 battle points. You will 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 second playthrough.

    For more on battle points, refer to Deity.

  • 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 chest with the . Once she covers up her assets, your achievement will unlock.

  • Knock back a few bottles.

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

  • 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.

    Refer to this video for more assistance with the hot springs achievements:

  • Interrupt the fat one's monologue.

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

  • 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.

  • Interrupt your former master's monologue.

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

 

Secret achievements

  • Unlock all ASURA'S WRATH achievements.

    Complete Part III: Karma.

    Story related, cannot be missed.

    This will unlock when you complete episode 18, and when it comes up with "Part III: Karma. End."

  • 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, it's 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.

  • Complete all episodes on Normal or higher.

    Refer to Warrior.

  • Complete all episodes on Hard.

    Just beat the game and the secret chapter from The Truth Hurts on Hard to get this.

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

    Refer to Deity.

  • Complete all episodes with an S rank on Normal.

    Refer to Deity.

  • Deity

     

    90

    Complete all episodes with an S rank on Hard.

    For these achievements, you need an "S" rank on every episode (including the secret episode) on hard and normal.

    Ranking is based on three 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 a lot 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 excellents. Do this and a "S" rank is yours.

  • Mortal

     

    15

    Achieve a D rank or higher on any episode.

    You should get this on the first level, especially if you're following the tips under Deity.

  • Activate Burst for the first time in Episode 1.

    Story related, cannot be missed.

    Just shoot for a while at the beginning and wait for it to prompt you to use burst. Pull and you should have it.

  • Grow a few extra limbs in Episode 5.

    Story related, cannot be missed.

    Just watch the cutscene after the second burst, as soon as Asura grows the six arms the achievement will unlock.

  • Completely lose it in Episode 12.

    Story related, cannot be missed.

    At the beginning of the second part of episode 12, watch the cutscene and when Asura transforms into his wrath/berserker form, the achievement will unlock.

  • Do what you think is right in Episode 13.

    Story related, cannot be missed.

    When you take control of Yasha at the beginning of episode 13, this will unlock

  • Denied

     

    15

    Get scolded by your former master in Episode 10.

    Story related, cannot be missed.

    Once Deus is beaten and he falls to the floor, the achievement will unlock.

DLC: Episode Pack: Part IV

There are 6 achievements with a total of 165 points

  • Complete all episodes in Part IV with an S rank on Hard.

    As recommended in my previous guide, the best way to gain S ranks are with the obliterator gauge (see my other guide on details on how to unlock this gauge).This is much easier than the "Deity" achievement, and there are only four episodes to do to get this. That said, these episodes are still tricky, so go with caution. See "Deity" on my previous guide for more info on the best way to get S ranks.
