Never Smelled the Roses
Beat the game in under 5 hours.

Best done on Very Easy and as an additional play through, race through the game as quickly as you can to beat the final boss before 5 hours are up.
Oblivious or Insensitive?
Sold Randolph's ring to Cynthia.

Before you attempt this one you should SAVE your game. Once you have sold enough Raval ore to the traveling merchant Antonio he will give you the Jade Ring. This is the ring Randolph (the drunk) lost. What you ultimately want to do is give it back to him, but you can also sell it to Cynthia at the shop. So, sell it first to get this achievement they reload your game to give it to Randolph for better items as a reward.

Note: It seems you have a small window to do this in. I've found that this has to be done right after you complete the Abandoned Mine to get all the dialog choices. You can get the ring as soon as you have enough Raval, but Randolph won't figure out he lost it until after the Mines. Likewise, Cynthia won't offer to buy it after the town is attacked once you're done in the Elderm Mountains. I don't know if this is intended or a bug or if I could have come back later in the game since I decided to just give the ring back to Randolph.
Overachiever
Completed all other achievements.

Complete all other achievements in this guide.
Proficient Plunderer
Completed Anya's treasure-hunt game.

After you complete the Abandoned Mine you can find the little girl Anya outside the church in Redmont. Agree to play with her and win the game for this achievement. If you have trouble keep talking to her for clues.

Treasure Locations:
1. In Church, climb up ladder to get it.
2. Garden by Elena's house
3. Behind the pikkard pen.
4. In the inn behind the counter.

Savior of Swine
Saved all of Hugo's pikkards.

Before you head to the Elderm Mountains, Hugo (the little boy) has some problems with sick pikkards. He needs 4 Berm Leaves which you will find during your climb up the montain. Once you have all 4, bring them back to the kid.

Note: This needs to be done before the final battles so do it as early as possible!

Showoff
Defeated 5 or more enemies (except Mozgouz) at the same time.

This is easy once you have your charged wind magic. Just get a weak group of enemies together and unleash your charged attack.
Social Butterfly
Spoke with every character in the game at least once.

Just make sure you talk to every person you see, inside and out. If you talked to everyone as you progressed through the story, you should get this after talking to the saved prisoners of the castle.
Tastes Like Chicken
Defeated "The Deadliest Cuteness."

This is another optional bonus boss you get after beating the game on Inferno after the credits. Beat him good to get this achievement, oh wait no you won't...
That's the Last Time, Kid
Escorted Christof to safety on every difficulty level.

This achievement is MISSABLE and is the first optional side quest. After you complete Illburns Ruins but BEFORE the Abandoned Mine go to the castle for a optional rescue mission. You MUST to this mission on all difficulty levels to get this achievement.
The Exterminator
Killed 2,000 Mozgouz across all playthroughs.

You can find swarms of Mazgouz in Illburns Ruins when you reach the Zone of Lava. It's best to wait until you have wind magic. Just keep killing them until you get this achievement. If you are planing to get the You Can Stop Now achievement you can wait til the end of the game to get this if you follow my tip on that achievement.
Wanderer From Ys
Spent over 10 hours in a single playthrough.

Spend 10 real world hours on a single playthrough. You will probably get this if attempting the "You Can Stop Now" achievement.
You Can Stop Now
Achieved max level.

Just keep fighting, you'll get it... Best enemies to fight for EXP are the Levynades in the Dark Shrine towards the end of the game. I've found that once you get to level 56-57 killing Levynades for EXP becomes more tedious because they only give a couple EXP each and you can only kill a handful and have to run all the way back to respawn them which is time consuming. What I did was go back to the swarms of Mazgouz in Illburns Ruins in the Zone of Lava. That one room where there are 60 or so in the swarm. If you change your weapon to the weakest one, go to the swarm, strike at different parts of the swarm trying not to kill them in order to get your EXP multiplier to max, then hit them with a quick whirlwind attack. This can net you around 100 EXP for a relatively quick battle, and it’s not too much wasted time to respawn them.

Originally posted by SureShot:
You Can Stop Now should be done after unlocking debug/cheat mode (beating Nightmare Boss Rush and I 'want' to say beating Inferno because the former wasn't enough for me despite it saying it unlocked)

I like that the guide is alphabetical, but I feel I would appreciate it more if all the missable quests were grouped into one section. Either way, thanks for making a great complete guide! :)

If you're doing the "You Can Stop Now" achievment and don't know what the levynades are/look like, they're the giant-ass wolf dudes in the Dark Shrine. Just before the save point in front of the room where you fight the last few bosses (also known as the second and last save point in the Dark Shrine), there are 2 levynades in the room in the room before the spiral stair case and 6 in the room before that. Just TP to the second save point because they are literally at the end of the dungeon. Also, it isn't to fight the last levynade in the second room, because your XP bonus will almost definitely wear out before you can get back to the levynades in the first room. Hope this helps somebody.

The "Legacy pervert" wouldve felt little more worth it and funny for that matter if Elena said some dialouge like Feena did in Ys 1.
It was even more funny with the mask on and was i really got a kick out of was that it actually showed her 3 sizes next to her name.
Great guide helped me out i missed the escort mission my first playthrough.

Yes, the 4th Berm leaf is several screens after the Harpies.

I've not passed boss yet and I have not seen anything on the way up specifies location wise.

Good guide for a good game. I hate that there are missable side quests though.

Thanks everyone who gave feedback so far, I've incorporated what I can. It's hard to find good information on this game for some achievements since I'll never have the patients to get them myself.
