Shoulda done update notes from the beginning, oh well.

Fineplays- Opening,3, 5, and 6. Done!
9/7/16 version .45 Fineplays For almost every boss are done WOO! only the final boss to finish "Fine Playing"
9/7/16 (8:21 p.m.) Fine plays are done!! go me!!

Most of these are self explanatory

Complete the begining stage

Complete all Mighty No. stages

Complete Call's stage

Witness every helping hand moment from the Mighty Numbers.

IF you noticed when you play the mighty no. stages in boss weapon order each level had a cutscene where the mighty no. bosses "helped you out" once you have defeated all the mighty no.s go "watch" any cut scene you may have missed (say the first mighty stage you beat for example) then play through call's stage and the factory stage, and this achievement should pop.

For the combo achievements they are essentially very straight forward. Keep absorbing enemies at 100% and your combo will continually increase. for getting the 3,5,10,20,30,40, and 50 combo achievements the best level I would suggest is the starting stage (City). Just take your time, slowly kill and absorb each enemy one by one (always at 100%, MN2 weapon gives you more time to absorb them at 100%) and you should find yourself with a nice hefty combo score.

For the Absorptionist and 7 golden letters achievements, gett 100% absorption for every kill, and you cannot miss a single enemy, you have to kill and 100% absorb every single one. If you do so successfully you should achieve an S rank and nab that achievement as well. My recommended stage, the intro stage (city once again) easy patterns to memorize and plenty of health to maintain yourself.

3 achievements here. They add up your cumulative score total in the game on one save file. Every time you complete a stage your highest score for that stage gets added to a cumulative total (that large umber when you boot up your save) the first 2 should pop by just beating the game once. The million one... basically you need to get your cumulative total score *highest score for each stage adding together* to equal a million. So that means S/A ranking almost every stage. Good luck!

The Fine Play series.

Each boss in this game has 2 Fine Play! events in each boss fight, whether they entail absorbing the boss at a specific moment, or completing a certain action at a certain time, sometimes one of each

Point of note. You don't have to get both fine plays in the same time you fight them, you can et one, die, and on your next life get the other one, achivement still pops!

Opening Boss Fine plays
1. dash absorb him when he is rolling at you
2. when he performs the attack where he launches rockets at you, destroy all the rockets before the explode or start homing at you, bascially right whtn they appear. Brandish's MN7 weapon helps with this.

Mighty N 1 fine play's
1.During his attack where he yells "here it comes" Dash absorb him during it to cancel that attack
2.During his "crush" call out attack dash absorb him in the air right before he performs the acual attack

Mighty N 2 fine play's
1.When she makes her tower of ice, blow up the entire tower she makes right after she makes it out from under her. Pyro's attack is perfect for this
2.Dash absorb her while she is flying around on her water jet.

Mighty N 3 fine play's
1. absorb dash her when she is doing her lightniing/electric beam attack
2. Break her shield that she makes at half health quickly as possible! Mighty no. 5's weapon works exceptionally well for this

Mighty N 4 Fine plays
1. Dash abosrb him during his "coming through" yell attack.
2. When he drops a boulder from the cieling to throw at you, blow up the boulder. Batt's weapon is necessary for this.

Mighty N 5 Fine play's
Remember that weird crouch dash move that you only use once?
1. crouch dash under his gatling gun fire
2. crouch dash under his half health bomb blast, coruch dash right after he says "FIRE" in game and you should nab it.

Mighty N 6
1. absorb absorb him while he is doing his top to down shooting attack (fliying up and down shooting)
2. absorb dash him while he is dropping missiles on you (his own xel ability will let you get enough jump height to do it.)

Mighty N 7
1. dash absorb him during his ground spin slash
2. Dash aosrb him during his aerial spin slash.

Mighty N 8
Kind of tricky, but you can also get it just by playing his bossfight, shoot/dashabsorb him at each of his perches, theres about 4 spots to do it at.

Prison Boss
These fine plays are easy when you know how.
1. Avoid all the bullets in this boss's spray attack. hide very close to his mouth, and duck
2. trick him into eating the enemies that spawn, the sentry looking thing, and the claw arm looking one.

Factory boss (he is weird he has 3 fine plays*
1. Destry the arm boss's arms... using Seismics weapon, you only need to destroy one for the fine play to pop
2. After you get the main core down to less than half health the arm boss will start to use a missile bombardment attack, destory as many rockets as you can (brandish's weapon helps immensely) about 15 or so
3. After you get the main core down to less than half health the arm boss will start to use a charge move, dash absorb during his charge move

Final boss
1.the first orb attack where she sends out orbs away from her body and then pulls them back. Dodge everysingle orb, i.e. don't get hit
2.In the second form, absorb all 4 of the body pieces in one dash. Batt's weapon helps you damage all of the segments at once, 2 rockets should do it, 3 if you wanna make sure of it.
(the indicating color that she can be dashed into is purple, and she is purple too.... what were they thinking??? it can be hard to tell...)

Aerodynamic and Smooth dive

Falling and flying 100m without touching anything how the heck do I pull that off?

Answer, MN6's rexelection ability helps with both, the places to get both of these chaievments? Avi's stage right before his boss fight, there is a long vertical wind tunnel stretch, clear out the enmies and then dash fly your way up and fall back down, withut touching the platforms, flying rings, or the side of the screen. Both achievements should pop without too much effort.

For the smooth dive achievement there is a descent section in mighty no. 2's stage that works as well.

Credit to users Cosmotronik (Avi's stage) and Miraglyth (Cryo's stage) for the above strategies.

Wonderful Technical Bonus-
Absorb five enemies in a single dash. weaken them with a weapon that has a good area of effect, like MN5's, or MN1's weapon and then you have got it.

Sie das ziel ich der Jager
Almost exactly the same as the wonderful bonus excepet you have to attack, and absorb in the air with out landing. The best place to perfomr this is in the last stage of the game in that opening area with all the floating cube like enemies. Line up 5 of them in a close batch, jump and launch mn5's rocket weapon and dash, all in one jump.

These achievements require you to do a WHOLE stge under certain conditions. Some take some patience, some are a lot of hard work.

All i need is win- Complete one stage, with no bonuses no combos (Not a single 100% absorption is aloud) no quick clears sprinters etc. this ncludes the boss fight!. My recommended stage? City/ intro stage.

Fuel is expensive.
Best stage to do this is to play call's stage, there are at most 2 places in her stage where you really need to dash, well under the 9 dash limit. to double check yourself keep count in your head.

Alternative strategy provided by, Miraglyth

Point of note the Down + dash button drop does not count as a "dash" as far as this achievement is concerned. you can do this in any sage, but at those points where you have to abolutely dash keep count in your head.

Invincible no. 9

Warm jacket. - Complete MN2/Cryo's stage without getting frozen, this includes the boss fight!
PLay through Cryo's stage and get a good feel for the rhythym, one slip up and you miss this achievement. In my game Cryo's stage lags and glitches up for me making this achievement almost impossible to nab, if you have the same issue good luck, blame Inafune!

Ever gotten a Sprinter, quick clear, or nice clear bonus in a stage? well every stage has sections like this, if you can find and complete them all (in any order) then you can nab these achievements. A more complete guide of this coming soon!

Beaten the main game? What else is there to complete? Luckily some extra achievements are there for you.

Boss rush clear

Boss rush clear (20 min. or less)

Complete every single player challenge/themes (Ex Mode)

More general boss achievements, i.e. the non Fine Play achievements
In addition to the fine play series certain bosses have additional achievement oppurtunities.

Diffused- Beat Mighty No. 5, Batt, before he uses his super weapon.
Relatively simple, use his weakness (Cryo's weapon) and try and beat him quickly, It might take a try or 2, but its really none too difficult

One of these has to work- Try and use every single weapon agaist the Final boss. Need to confirm whether you jsut have to use it, or if you have to use it to damage her atleast once.

Mighty Anniversary- Beat the final boss on the 9th of the month. Eeyup that simple.

Lemon Pellets- Beat each mighty No. with just the basic weapon.
Obviously some bosses are *much* easier to do this than with others. All I can say is practice makes perfect for this.

See you in Xel

Heart attack

We can work this out
