Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name 100% guide

Spider is introduced in the opening combat tutorial. Use successful Spider pulls on enemies whenever spacing allows. The achievement unlocks after 50 successful Spider activations in battle.

Do not stand still farming all 50 in the tutorial unless you want to. Street encounters and later Coliseum fights provide far more than enough targets.

Activate Extreme Heat during normal fights whenever you have a full Heat gauge. The achievement unlocks on the 30th Extreme Heat activation.

Story bosses and the Coliseum make this essentially automatic if you use the mechanic instead of sitting on a full gauge.

Ultimate attacks are the heavily telegraphed powered attacks used by stronger enemies and bosses. Successfully answer them with the Ultimate Counter mechanic whenever the prompt becomes available.

The achievement unlocks after the fifth successful Ultimate Counter. You will have many opportunities across the story, Four Kings, and Amon route, so there is no need to force this in Chapter 1.

This is automatic. It unlocks after completing Chapter 1 and reaching the chapter-end transition.

Do this as soon as free street fights are available. Start a fight near the Sotenbori River, with Bishamon Bridge being a convenient location. Position Joryu so the river is behind him, catch an enemy with Spider, and whip the enemy over the railing into the water.

The achievement unlocks when the enemy is actually thrown into the river. If the enemy only hits the railing or lands on the walkway, reposition and try again.

Despite the plural wording, the achievement requires only one Gold Ball.

The fastest fixed option is Ebisu Pawn in Sotenbori, which sells a Gold Ball for ¥77,777. Buy it when you can comfortably spare the money. The achievement unlocks as soon as you obtain the Ball.

A later alternative is the Gold Ball sold for billiards points at Kiss Shot, so do not grind cash for this if you are short early.

Complete Stroll n' Patrol missions as you cross Sotenbori. The achievement unlocks when your 10th mission is completed.

Prioritize simple hand-ins, short fights, Spider retrievals, and nearby photo jobs. You need 50 total later, so doing them in clusters around your current story objective saves substantial backtracking.

Accept Akame's Requests whenever they are practical and do the short ones that overlap your current route. The achievement unlocks after five completed Requests.

You do not need every Request for 100%. The route eventually needs 15, plus the specific late Coliseum chain, so there is no benefit to clearing the entire board unless you want the extra money and Network experience.

Use Hornet constantly in ordinary street fights. The displayed description says to activate Hornet 100 times, but the practical counter advances by individual drones summoned. A charged summon can therefore add several counts at once.

Hold the Hornet input long enough to release multiple drones, then repeat in later battles. The achievement unlocks when the cumulative drone count reaches 100.

Throw Fireflies during combat and allow them to detonate. The achievement unlocks after 50 Firefly detonations in battle.

The detonation is what matters. If a fight ends before a thrown cigarette explodes, do not rely on that throw counting. Street groups are ideal because you can toss several before finishing the enemies.

Open Upgrade Abilities and buy inexpensive entries first. The achievement unlocks after obtaining 10 abilities through this menu.

Yen and Akame Points are both needed, so keep doing nearby Network work rather than spending time on a separate money grind this early.

Continue buying the cheapest useful abilities as your resources increase. This unlocks when your Upgrade Abilities count reaches 20.

Do not max expensive health or attack tiers just for the achievement yet. You will eventually want strong combat stats for Amon, but cheap ability purchases move the count faster during the early chapters.

Obtain 10 types of equipment items. Equipment means combat gear, not Boutique outfit cosmetics.

Buy inexpensive gear from available shops, keep the pieces earned from Requests and lockers, and check vendors when their inventory expands. The achievement unlocks as soon as the 10th equipment type is obtained; the items do not need to be equipped simultaneously.

Play one game in the Castle casino and one game in the Castle gambling hall. Winning is not required.

Start any available casino game, then start any available gambling-hall game. The achievement unlocks after both sides have registered, so there is no need to spend time building chips or tags.

Serpent counts when you activate its movement in battle; you do not need to hit an enemy. Use short Serpent bursts while repositioning in ordinary fights.

The achievement unlocks on the 50th Serpent activation. Because each use is fast, this can be finished almost immediately after the gadget is unlocked if you want it out of the way.

Complete the story's Hammerhead sequence and the first team-battle setup. The achievement unlocks when the Castle awards you Silver rank.

This is progression rank, not the letter grade shown after an individual Coliseum fight.

Coliseum victories award fans. Keep clearing the available Bronze and Silver events while the fights are easy.

This unlocks when your cumulative fan count reaches 1,000. The total never needs to be held or spent, so simply continue winning fights.

Begin recruiting immediately. Defeated fighters can appear in the Fighters' Lounge, several Akame Requests reward recruits, and referral NPCs marked with a magnifying-glass icon can connect you with additional fighters for a fee.

The achievement unlocks when the Joryu Clan reaches 10 recruited members. This is possible in Chapter 2, so take cheap or free recruits as they become available rather than waiting for the endgame.

Once the Castle Boutique is open, buy inexpensive outfit pieces across the available categories. Outfit items are cosmetic and are tracked separately from combat equipment.

This unlocks after obtaining 15 types of outfit items. Buy the cheapest unowned pieces first; there is no requirement to equip them.

Return to Club Heavenly and fully complete the hostess missions for Kei and Ayu. Each hostess has three affection stages.

Use the best dialogue answers you can, buy a drink or gift when helpful, and repeat visits until the third-heart conclusion for both women has been completed. The achievement unlocks after both Club Heavenly hostess routes are finished.

There is no permanent failure state. A weak answer only slows affection gain.

At Castle Cabaret, fully complete the hostess missions for Kaname, Kokoro, and Ai. As with Club Heavenly, each route has three affection stages and can be repeated safely until complete.

The achievement unlocks after the final mission for all three Castle hostesses is finished.

This is automatic. It unlocks after completing Chapter 2.

A simple fifth ROM is Galaxy Force, sold by Ebisu Pawn in Sotenbori. Once you have it, use the Master System in the Daidoji Hideout and launch five different games.

You only need to start each game. Return to the selection menu after it loads and launch the next one. The achievement unlocks on the fifth distinct Master System game played.

Complete your 10th Akame Request during this push. Choose short Requests first, especially ones that award Joryu Clan recruits or overlap places you already need to visit.

Complete your 30th Stroll n' Patrol mission while building Network Level 10. Keep using the Support Map and clear dense clusters rather than crossing the entire map for one low-value job.

Continue clearing Silver Coliseum matches. This unlocks when your cumulative fan total reaches 3,000.

If you reach Gold rank before 3,000, do not grind specifically for this milestone. The required full Coliseum clear later provides far more fans than you need for this achievement.

Keep recruiting defeated fighters, Request rewards, and affordable referrals. The achievement unlocks at 20 Joryu Clan members.

Prioritize recruits who will actually join your core team, but do not over-optimize every slot. You eventually need 30 total recruits, so inexpensive bodies still have achievement value even if they never fight.

Use the money and Akame Points earned from the Network push to continue buying cheap abilities. This unlocks at 30 abilities obtained through Upgrade Abilities.

After this milestone, start mixing in useful combat-stat upgrades instead of buying purely by price. The Chapter 4 bosses benefit more from a strong Joryu than from racing straight to 50 mediocre purchases.

Once Akame Network reaches Level 10 and you have won any three Silver-rank Coliseum matches, return to Akame and complete the Gold-rank promotion sequence.

The achievement unlocks when Akame awards Gold rank. The three Silver wins are prerequisites; merely reaching Network Level 10 does not trigger the achievement by itself.

Complete Akame's first Drink Link, then go to Bar New Momoko with her and choose the duet version of Like a Butterfly.

The achievement unlocks after you finish the duet. Your karaoke score does not need to be exceptional; completing the song together is the trigger.

Go to Stijl Bar in Sotenbori or another available darts venue and win one game of darts. A 301 match against an easy opponent is the shortest straightforward option.

The achievement unlocks on the result screen after the win. Merely playing darts is not enough.

At Kiss Shot Billiards & Bar, enter the 1-Shot Challenge. If Normal is not yet selectable, clear the Easy set first. Then complete the Normal-difficulty 1-Shot Challenge.

Normal consists of its own trick-shot set; clear the required shots rather than simply starting the mode. The achievement unlocks when the Normal challenge is completed.

Go to Club SEGA on Sotenbori St. and start all six distinct arcade games:

• UFO Catcher
• Virtua Fighter 2.1
• Sonic the Fighters
• Fighting Vipers 2
• Motor Raid
• SEGA Racing Classic 2

You can quit each one after it loads. The achievement unlocks when the sixth distinct arcade game registers.

Return to CourStar and continue the normal Pocket Circuit race ladder through the CourStar Race. Winning CourStar Race opens the Masters Circuit in the back room and triggers the achievement.

Buy newly unlocked parts as you progress. On jump-heavy courses, stability matters more than theoretical top speed: suspension, a stable frame, and downforce are often safer than an all-speed build. CourStar Race itself can throw the car off the track if the setup is too aggressive, so retry or trade some speed for stability rather than assuming one exact build is mandatory.

Once Masters Circuit opens, stop the normal race ladder. Later races are not required for any Xbox achievement.

Rival Matches begin appearing after early Pocket Circuit progress. Speak to rival NPCs in Sotenbori or the Castle to register them, then choose Rival Match at CourStar.

Win any three Rival Matches. The achievement unlocks as you cross the finish line in first place on the third win.

Use the easiest early rivals rather than chasing late-game opponents. If you need a strong early motor, Locker H5 on the roof of Yotsudera Kaikan rewards the High Torque Motor Mark II.

The achievement requires 10 different minigames, but community evidence conflicts on whether the six individual Club SEGA arcade titles reliably count toward that separate total. Do not rely on Arcade Dweller to supply those entries.

For the safest route, deliberately play these 10 conventional activities:

• Shogi
• Mahjong
• Pool
• Golf
• Darts
• Oicho-kabu
• Koi-Koi
• Karaoke
• Blackjack
• Poker

You only need to register play in each activity; you do not need to complete their Activity Log challenges.

Arcade Dweller remains a separate achievement and should still be completed normally. If The Man Who Had Too Many Hobbies has not unlocked after the ten activities above, register additional distinct activities such as Cabaret, Pocket Circuit, or a Master System game rather than assuming the arcade titles counted.

Open coin lockers whenever you have keys. There are far more keys than the 30 required, so this is not a full collectible sweep.

A useful aid is the Contact Lenses gear, which marks locker keys on the map. Buy it from Mizorogi's Workshop for ¥14,000 once the workshop is available, or obtain the free pair from Locker D2. Check indoor locations as you visit them and use Spider on visible keys placed above street level.

The achievement unlocks after you have obtained 30 items from coin lockers, meaning you must actually open 30 lockers. Merely collecting 30 keys is not the trigger.

Complete every Silver-rank Coliseum match, including its sponsored and special-event entries. Your result grade can be any passing grade.

The achievement unlocks when the final required Silver-tier match is completed.

Buy unowned outfit pieces until your total reaches 30 types of outfit items. Use the owned indicators in the Boutique instead of rebuying duplicates.

The achievement unlocks on the 30th unique outfit type obtained.

This is automatic. It unlocks after completing Chapter 3.

Complete your 15th Akame Request. You do not need every Request, but favor ones that provide Joryu Clan recruits or naturally advance the Four Kings and Coliseum route.

Complete your 50th Stroll n' Patrol mission. By Chapter 4, enough missions are available that you can choose dense, fast clusters rather than clearing the entire Support Map.

The achievement unlocks immediately when mission 50 is completed.

Finish all four Akame Drink Links. The first is tied to reaching Gold rank; the next three become available at Network Levels 13, 16, and 19.

Dialogue choices do not lock you out. The fourth event ends with a fight, and the achievement unlocks when that final Drink Link is completed.

Reach Akame Network Level 20 and win any three Gold-rank Coliseum matches, then return to Akame and complete the Platinum promotion.

The achievement unlocks when you are formally awarded Platinum rank. Network Level 20 alone is not sufficient.

Continue winning required Coliseum matches. The achievement unlocks when your cumulative fan count reaches 10,000.

Do not grind fans yet if you are below the threshold. You still have the entire Gold tier, Platinum tier, Four Kings events, and Minamida progression ahead of you.

Recruit your 30th Joryu Clan member through story recruits, Request rewards, defeated fighters, and paid referrals.

You do not need the Legendary Fighter Pack. If you are short, revisit the Castle referral NPCs marked with magnifying-glass icons, finish recruit-reward Requests you skipped earlier, and earn S grades on easier Coliseum fights that award recruitable fighters. Fight grades are irrelevant to Hell's Keeper, Hell's Patron, and Hell's Champion, but some recruits are specifically tied to S-grade rewards.

Raise one Joryu Clan fighter to Level 20 and Bond Level 3. The achievement unlocks when the first fighter has both requirements satisfied.

Repeat that full condition on five fighters. Keep the same people in every team battle and use training/bond items to close gaps instead of rotating new recruits into the active group.

The achievement unlocks when your fifth fighter simultaneously has Level 20 and Bond Level 3.

Complete the same requirement on 10 fighters. This should be your full Four Kings team.

Do not stop at Bond Level 3 if someone is under Level 20, and do not stop at Level 20 if the bond is below Level 3. The achievement unlocks only when the 10th fighter is fully maxed in both dimensions.

Return to the Castle Boutique and buy unowned cosmetics until you have 50 types of outfit items.

The achievement unlocks on the 50th unique outfit type. Outfit cosmetics are separate from the equipment counted by Always Prepared. The in-game outfit challenge stops tracking at 30, so use the Boutique's owned checkmarks to avoid duplicate purchases while working from 30 to 50.

Buy abilities until your Upgrade Abilities total reaches 50. At this point, prioritize useful combat upgrades as well as cheap entries because the Four Kings and Amon are next.

The achievement unlocks when the 50th qualifying ability purchase is obtained.

Complete every Gold-rank Coliseum match, including the sponsored and special-event entries.

The achievement unlocks when the last required Gold-tier match is completed, regardless of the individual fight grades you earned.

Speak to Dan Brody at Coliseum reception and start his Hell Team Rumble. Bring your trained 10-member clan and focus on removing weaker enemies quickly so your team can collapse on Brody before the timer becomes the real enemy.

The achievement unlocks after defeating King Dan Brody in this formal Coliseum substory.

Afterward, complete Mizorogi's Big Dreams before moving deeper into the chain. It requires all four Agent gadgets at Level 5. Return to Mizorogi after upgrading them; this opens Daidoji Martial Mastery, a very useful Heat Action for the large team fights ahead.

Challenge Kunimitsu Samejima. This is a one-on-one fight, so clan level does not matter here. Stay close enough to stop his pistols and Serpent movement from controlling the arena, dodge his ranged attacks, and punish his Ultimate attack windows.

The achievement unlocks when Samejima is defeated.

Challenge JUSTICE only after your 10-person core is ready. This Hell Team Rumble brings back Dan Brody and Samejima alongside JUSTICE and a large group of enemies.

Thin the ordinary enemies first so your team is not overwhelmed, then concentrate damage on the Kings. JUSTICE can heal enemies, so do not let the fight become a long spread-out war. Use the Coliseum team command when it is ready and spend Joryu's Heat aggressively.

The achievement unlocks when JUSTICE's substory battle is won.

The final King is Kiyoshi Ugajin in a one-on-one fight. He uses Agent-style gadgets but has a much smaller health pool than the previous team encounter.

Stay mobile through Hornets and Spider pressure, then punish his telegraphed Heat attack with your strongest safe counters. The achievement unlocks when Ugajin is defeated.

Complete every required Platinum-rank Coliseum match, including the late Four Kings special event and Minamida Grand Prix.

Again, the achievement description refers to the Platinum tier, not to earning a Platinum letter grade on each fight. Any passing fight grade is sufficient.

The achievement unlocks when the final required Platinum-tier match is completed.

Your required Coliseum clear should provide most or all of the needed fans. If you finish Hell's Champion below the target, repeat a fast Platinum event you can clear consistently.

The achievement unlocks when your cumulative fan total reaches 30,000.

Gai Amon is the real achievement trigger. His most dangerous early mechanic is the heart-shaped Hornet formation that rapidly heals him. Counter it by summoning your own Hornets until the healing formation is disrupted, then return to offense.

Use Extreme Heat and strong Heat Actions when you have clean openings. In his final red-Heat phase, his successful hits can heal him, so prioritize avoiding damage over trading blows. Hit, disengage, and punish recoveries rather than trying to armor through everything.

The achievement unlocks after defeating Gai Amon and completing Path to the Strongest. Defeating Tetsu Amon alone is only the first stage and does not finish the achievement.

This is automatic. It unlocks after completing Chapter 4.

This is automatic. It unlocks after completing the Final Chapter and reaching the ending completion state.
