How to unlock the All Swords Obtained! achievement in 3D Dot Game Heroes - Definitive Guide
(missable!)
This is by far the most time-consuming trophy of the game. Many of the swords in the game require you to complete a specific set of events. While you do not have to complete all the events in the game, you do have to complete most of them. The easiest way to assure you complete all the necessary events is to simply complete all of them. This will also earn you a number of other collectibles such as LIFE pieces and MAGIC UPs. All of the events can be found here, and you will also complete all the events if you follow EgHeadFool's guide.
Swords obtained in a playthrough do not carry over to subsequent playthroughs. All swords must be acquired on the same playthrough in order to earn this trophy.
As of the online update 1.01, swords that you purchase from King Block do carry over to subsequent playthroughs.
Additionally, you must also earn the best possible result in each minigame. This includes:
~Dash Circuit: Beat the Block Circuit under 20 seconds. (25 with update 1.01)
~Dash Circuit: Beat the Monaca Circuit under 60 seconds. (65 with update 1.01)
~Blockout: Clear all five stages without losing a life.
~Block Defense: Clear all five Block Defense challenges (Road To Dotnia, Cactus Desert, Klovis Volcano, Wasteland Oasis, and Dark King's Garden)
As of the online update 1.01, the times required for earning the LIFE UP and sword rewards of the Dash Circuit minigames have increased by five seconds. This makes them significantly easier than before!
Lastly, you must also acquire a total of 88 Small Blocks to buy a number of swords from the Block King. It is recommended you wait until the FROM mode difficulty to attempt this trophy, as you will have acquired more Small Blocks from your other playthroughs. See Earning Small Blocks for info on the most efficient way to earn Small Blocks.
As of the online update 1.01, swords that you purchase from King Block do carry over to subsequent playthroughs.
A complete list of swords and conditions for obtaining them is available in a special guide .
