Basics

Achievement
Description
More Than Hot Leaf Juice
Brought your first item at the shop
  • Healer's Water and/or Katara's Oasis Water will more than likely be your first unlocked items. These can be purchased very early in the game.
Ready for Battle
Equip your first item in Korra's room
  • Once you purchase either Healer's Water or Katara's Oasis Water equip it to a slot and use it when needed. The allowed limit per customer at Iroh's shop is 3x Healer's Water & 1x Katara's Oasis Water so use them sparingly!
Zhu Li! Do the Thing!
Used your first equipped item.
  • Because you have no bending to start off with and the whole aim of the game is to get your bending back; trying to spare your consumables is difficult to start out I have to admit but as long as you level every column/vase/box/crate/chest you see and finish off battles as fast as you can then you'll be loaded with spirit energy in no time. Plus finishing a chapter grants you a lovely amount of energy (●♡∀♡)
Ooooh, Shiny!
Entered the Collection Screen for the first time after finding a treasure
  • You'll come across your first treasure item in Chapter 1, whenever you return to the Chapter Menu you'll be able to access your collections which contain relics, keepsakes and other momentos from the animation series. These items grant you spirit energy once you reach the end of a chapter.

Medium Achievements
The following achievements aren't difficult to obtain and don't require too much thought as you will notice they can unlock without trying

Achievement
Description
Be the Leaf
Dodged 100 times

Right Back At Ya!
Countered 100 times
Buh-Bye!
Performed 100 Finishing Moves
Go in Peace
Spirit-bended 200 dark spirits
Kung Fu Master
Went into Clash Mode 10 times
  • Clash Mode is where you counter/dodge another benders' attacks by making the appropriate moves. This does not include counter-attacks on chi blockers & mecha tanks as they do not have bending. Counter-attacking benders' is a little bit more challenging than your standard CA because a standard counter only allows for one at a time. Clash Mode is when you're required to do more than one counter move almost like a face off. It can be a random selection of keys/buttons that you have to input so keep your eyes focused (,Ծ_Ծ,)
Medium/Hard Achievements
Avatar related achievements:
  • Not a Booster Rocket
    Went into Avatar State 10 times.
    • As far as I'm aware you can't get this achievement by using the Awakening consumable(you might be able to, I just only used it once and relied on my given Avatar State) If you can then great this will be the easiest way to get there. It will cost you 40,000 spirit energy to enter Avatar State using Awakening 10 times.
    • Otherwise, your best bet is to rely on the Avatar State when you have access to it/once your chi fully reloads. The game will prmpt you to go in to avatar state a few times throughout so those will add to your achievement.
  • Full-Baked Avatar
    Maxed out all bending types.
    • Once you have unlocked water bending and you're feeling confident with your attacks you will be able to purchase the XP x2, HP 1/2 Talisman which halves your health but doubles your experience. This helps you max out your bending a lot faster. I ended up getting this achievement in Chapter 2 on Extreme mode because I hadn't utilised it as much as I should've in Normal mode but it is possible in normal mode. The farming in this game is real.
  • Extreme Avatar
    Completed the game on Extreme difficulty.
    • Since you've made it to Extreme Mode you should have your counter-attacks and bending combos on point. Air bending is the easiest way to get through this whole mode and with the following talismans you'll finish the game within a few hours because believe it or not this is a pretty easy game mode compared to Normal and you'll see why when you use the following:
Talismans to Equip:
Taisman
Cost
Description
Healing
120,000
"Slowly regenerates health while equipped. You'll feel much
safer while wearing this." You will need to be very fast with your dodging as well as using Air Scooter to be able to give yourself a few seconds to regenerate health. This goes across all chapters.
Full Charge, HP 1/2
300,000
"Your Chi is fully charged at all times, but your health is
halved. Recommended for Extreme mode." This is as it says; recommended for Extreme Mode-HIGHLY. Though it halves your health it is the only talisman in the 4 listed that does this. With Healing talisman equipped you won't need to worry about this. Armor also halves you health so instead I equipped Charge Armor.
Charge Armor
160,000
Cheaper than Armor, HP 1/2 and also doesn't halve your health. Armor isn't needed as long as you have Charge Armor + Full Charge equipped as they compliment each other."Prevents all stuns, staggers, and knockbacks when your Chi is fully charged."
Shadow Fist
0-See below for the PC unlock code
"Adds extra hits to your attacks, doing more damage. And it looks cool too!" I was torn between using this talisman and the Speed Up talisman BECAUSE they are practically the same talisman. One gives you extra hits/damage which in the end helps you finish battles faster and then there's the other which is designed to help you finish battles faster as it gives you speed. But because you're faster than the enemy; you get extra hits in so it's a lot like the other. So really, it's up to you! If you need to find certain treasure items, Shadow Fist will help you obtain the rarer items
  • Talisman Collector
    Purchased 12 Talismans
  • Throughout the game you will get the chance to purchase talismans which can greatly increase your chances of surviving and winning battles. Once you can afford the SPx3, POW 1/2 talisman this will help you significantly in reaching the amount of spirit energy you need. "Halves your attack power but doubles the amount of Spirit Energy you earn. Get rich fast!" All the Talismans in total should cost around 1,210,000 spirit energy
    • Shadow fist is the one that doesn't need to be purchased for the achievement as it is unlocked manually by inputting 2,2,4,4,LMB (KB/mouse) in Iroh's shop.
  • Combo Master
    Obtained all Combos
    • These are the Scrolls and Books that you unlock along your journey. These can be purchased from Iroh's shop alongside the talismans. Same goes with this achievement as the above achievement, once you unlock Talisman SPx3, POW 1/2 you'll be on your way to becoming combo master!
Pro Bending & Naga Achievements
These achievements are focused on the mini games that TLoK has to offer

Naga Running
  • Good Girl!
    Completed a Naga Running sequence without hitting anything.
    • Even though the game will tell you that you can use a certain bending type with Naga it just won't let you until you unlock it. Once you do you should be able to use Naga swipes. This coupled with fire bending will allow you to destroy anything in your way. Do your best to dodge, though. Don't use air bending unless you feel like flying through the map at high speed once it wears off. Earth bending is fine just remember to focus on the finish line and not collecting spirit energy and you'll get this achievement in no time. The first Naga running course is the best one as there's not too many things in the way and not too many detours.
Pro-Bending
  • Knockout!!
    Got 10 Knockouts in Pro-bending matches.
    • Knockouts happen when you knock the enemy team off the back of the arena. This can be done by focusing on one at a time instead of trying to send them all back. This way you can send them back to the last ring quite easily without getting knocked back yourself.
  • Face-off
    Won a Face-Off in a Pro-bending match.
    • When you have a tie breaker the end result rests solely in your hands, Mako & Bolin stand back while you and an opponent face off in the center of the arena atop an elevated pillar. To get this achievment you must successfully win 1 face-off in a match. Counter attacks are your best chance of winning as the opponent tends to block a lot of your attacks which you can sneak in every so often when he's off guard/about to attack but watch out or they'll send it right back without you knowing and you'll be knocked back.
  • The Fire Ferrets Strike Again!
    Completed the highest difficulty of Pro-bending.
    • Once you get to Ace mode on Pro-Bending you'll start to notice the enemy loves to counter-attack so they'll send back yours AND their attacks. You could be standing there sending them back and forth for a solid 2 minutes with no progress. So in this you also need to counter attack while dodging and switching targets. You only need to sneak in a few attacks as Mako and Bolin will handle the attacking while you focus on defense. They barely defend so counter attacks will work in your favour. This mode is pretty easy to get passed with these tips in mind.
Treasure Achievements
These are tips on finding required treasure items

Treasure Items & Talismans:
  • My Cabbages!!
    Collected 10 cabbages
    • This achievement can be easily completed by farming Chapter 2.
    • In this chapter you will come across a chi blocker that is standing at the beginning of an alleyway with his arms behind his back, if you stand far enough back and hit him with enough water bending damage/combos he'll leave behind a cabbage. If you get too close to him he'll disappear until you die and spawn at the checkpoint that puts you directly in line with him. Once you've finished off this character, get yourself killed by chi blockers nearby and you'll spawn back at the mentioned spawn point so that you can farm this NPC over and over again until you reach your own estimate of 10 cabbages
    IMPORTANT:The achievement DOES NOT appear just by 'collecting' the cabbages. I made the mistake of thinking this, once I thought I had 10 cabbages I went straight back to my collections and was surprised to see that they weren't there. You must finish chapter 2 all the way to the end (yes even after Naga's running) and only then will you get this achievement.
  • Biz-Bender
    Collected every treasure item
  • These items are collected on your play through by destroying chests that appear either gold in colour(some bigger/more vibrant some smaller/wooden looking) and elemental chests. These chests are always available for you to farm.
    • Treasure items are ranked by C,B,A,S and 1 SS item.
    • To get these items you can choose to do it in either Casual, Normal OR Extreme Mode it will all give you the same result. I preferred to do it on a mix of Casual & Normal and got this achievement out of the way quite quickly.
    • I had issues with finding a couple of C rank items but with some luck and patience I found the 2 I needed in 1 sitting of Chapter 2(I found this is where most C rank items are as this is where most 'common' wooden-gold chests are). As for S rank, A rank and the 1 SS item, these can be found by farming Chapter 6 which is in the spirit world. I obtained most of my treasure items as well as the 'Go in Peace' achievement while farming this chapter.
    • After your spirit bending tutorial and a quick passing-by of a few dark spirits you will come across an opening with 2 rock walls on either side, behind the right rock wall is an air bending wall and an air elemental chest, this is the chest you will need to farm in order to get the most rare items. Before breaking down this wall or doing anything in this opening, run up the hill where you can see the next opening while collecting a line of spirit energy, be cautious as to not run too far passed this line of spirit energy as there is an auto save point right before the next opening. You will need to activate this auto save point in order to continue farming that wall. Once the save is activated, turn around and go back to the wall(now on your left) and start farming the chest, once destroyed, walk back out into the opening and let the spirits/chi blockers kill you. When you spawn back in you will be at the auto save right at the top of that hill/peak; turn back around and do it all over again.
    You will also need to finish this chapter right to the end for your items to save into your collections.
    • To make your attacks more dull, unequip talismans that have extra attack power, this can help with obtaining C and B rank items. If you want to add more power to your attacks to hope for more rare items, equip Talisman POWx2, HP 1/2, Shadow Fist and/or Full Charge (optional as this also halves your health)

Thanks for the guide!

I wish I could've tried that before uninstalling D: thanks for the tip! I just spammed the one chest behind the air bending wall. Just attack it with every air combo and maxed talismans and you usually get it first time. I suppose that works just as fast as the boss:smilekit:

Thanks for the guide +1 but one note: I completed the final boss at all three difficulties with gold rank, but that didn't give me the SS item. I got it by defeating him platinum. (just spam fire at the start, spam air when the spirits come, spam water when he goes on top and counter his last 2 attacks)
