Achievement Guide and Road Map

[PeRFeCK]

i didn't think it worked either, but the person who first posted here said he did it that way, unless him reading it wrong...take a look.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...7&postcount=12

doesn't look like he actually put any flowers of different color "next" to each other.

that's why i recommended to do both at the same time. if we get more people confirming that theory is false, i'll remove it from the guide.

It was slightly south of the lighthouse in seafront. You had to talk with a NPC about his girlfriend 3 times. You had too zone every time. Then he gave you the quest.

If you pass the first half of the game then this quest will be miss-able.

Why isn't this stickied yet???

[Wagram]

Just got both fishing trophies at the same time. I think the Rhizodont is the hardest one due to the sandstorm. It is pretty hard to see it sometimes.

[PeRFeCK]

you got Dunkleosteus and thought Rhizodont was harder??

i'm changing the road map to estimated 50-70 hours seeing as those weapon upgrade achievements take sooooooo long and item drops are too random. if anyone disagrees, let me know

Just a quick question about the sheep. I'm only about an hour and a half in and I wanna grab the achievement quick for killing 100 of them. In the N. Plains there seems to be goats and sheep. Which ones are the sheep? I killed one with horns and got goat meat. But then I killed another one with horns and got wool...which I'm assuming is the sheep. I've also killed some and gotten Mutton. So does anybody know which drops indicate which creature it is? I'd rather not waste time killing 100 goats.

[PeRFeCK]

sheep are the ones without horns. honestly don't know if goats count towards it but i would assume not.

I just got to the point where you skip 5 years into the future and my play time is 8 hours.
Is it a good time for the lightspeed achievement or do I have to hurry up even more ?

[PeRFeCK]

you should be fine, but i wouldn't go questing or anything.

You caught a rhizodont. Is this random or is their some kind of trick for this cause I can;t seem to find him. In the sandstorm area... ?/

[red10mage]

Just some info on the "Lightspeed Fighter" achievement, you can check your play time in the "Memo" tab (the one on the very right) of the Grimoire Weiss menu. Just click on "status".

As long as you did all the fishing quests, and you are using the right bait...it should come over time. Fishing takes patience, even in a video game

Ok well I have to questions for you. Is the sandstorm spot where boat is that transports u around the different towns or is the sandstorm spot something else, and my other question was say you use 20 sardines while trying to catch this fish and waste all twenty can you load a prior save and try it again????

[PeRFeCK]

dude.....are you even trying or do you keep coming here to ask before putting any effort? don't you remember the part of the story where you walk through the standstorm? the boat is nowhere near it. i even said "its up north", the boat is in the southern most part of the map....

sure, you can save and then load if you run out.

Nah kinda hard to remember when I skipped through everything and beat the game in 7 hours.... Thanks anyway didn't wanna cum here to argue specially by someone like yourself!!

[Oinkness]

This is a dumb question, but the new game+ starts you at half way through the game? This is why two of the ending playthroughs are listed as 2 halfs... Or do you mean to make a manual save half way that you come back to later?

Did you not put any effort in at all why would you ask such a thing... lol just kidding I'm not like some people cough cough. No once you beat ending B just continue from that save into play through C which is new game ++. Just make sure to grab all the weapons and stuff along with kill achievements.

wow man, you just had to keep going. i can't even believe how u made 150k in achievements, was someone holding your hand the entire time?

you're welcome, i did nothing but help you but i have a problem when people get lazy and ask 5 billion questions without actually attempting. i answered your question 3 times, that should be enough.

Dude just had a few questions cause this one fish is really random and annoying I did find the spot you were talking about though in the desert.. Thanks I only asked cause different sites say different locations like two other sites I went to said fish for rhizodont in the area i was explaining by the boat transport in the desert just a little confused at first.

EASY MONEY

by Dedemaru

At all times in the game, when you leave the Village and come back, there is gold to be found in Nier's house. As you progress, the money found gets higher and higher. Once it gets around to 1,200 gold, pick the gold up and leave out the Eastern Plains exit. Come back in and pick the gold up again. Repeat this 833,000 times and you'll have it in no time.

Please don't use this strategy anywhere else without my permission

[Ranius]

Ok so I'm probably just being stupid but I'm trying to do the rice harvest strategy to make some money, but when I change the date in the dashboard then log back into the game I am forced to log back online with my profile and that changes the date back. Again its probably something really stupid and I searched everywhere online and couldn't find and answer. Thank you in advance if you know what I'm doing wrong.

[knightdedede]

What I am doing is just planting the rice and letting it takes it's normal course. I still have plenty of sub and main quests to do. I find it's not worth the hassle this point in the game. I'd suggest you just do that at the current moment. At least until you figure out what you're doing wrong.

Also, I'd suggest trying to take out your wireless adapter and try starting the game without Live.

A few people have asked about this now, I'll add the info about making sure you don't sign into XBL to the guide.

[Wagram]

I have 50% of the words. But it is not unlocking. Is this glitched?

The Word Collection says: 50%

EDIT: Never mind ,it unlocked on the next word after 50%.

[PeRFeCK]

that's pretty weird, maybe the game rounded your 49.8 percent or something up to 50. i don't remember that happening to me though.

[Wagram]

I'm having a really hard time finding the weapons in Shadowlords castle. I found one up towards the point of no return. But I can NOT find the others.

Phoenix Sword and Dragoons Lance to be precise.

[PeRFeCK]

off the top of my head

one is in the room with the birds you talk to, before it lets you advance

one is in the room directly before the pig chases you up the stairs

i think there may be one on the first floor by the entrance as well, don't quote me on that though.
