How to unlock the Mastery of Rites achievement in Chorus - Definitive Guide

I was inspired by Swan931's guide to the mastery of combat achievement. At the start of the final mission, there is an endless stream of enemies. If you have completed the game and are just trying to farm for the mastery achievements, that is the best area to do so. I wasted too much time searching for random encounters working on this achievement. Restarting the final mission will save you a great deal of time and frustration.

Before attempting to farm the majority of the rites, you need to reach level 5 with the "Senses" rite. This must be done in the open world. As you go through the game, use your senses power periodically, and pick up any loot boxes that are discovered. Most of these contain credits and with enough located, you will level up this power. Small triangles appear on your hud after using the rite of senses. These are always points of interest and usually indicate an item you can retrieve. Locations with buildings or other notable scenery are good places to start as they are usually hidden behind or in things.

Once Senses is completed, replay the last mission. When the mission starts, destroy any enemies. If you are only working on mastery of rites, then destroy all of the turrets that are present. Ignore the first objectives. Eventually you will be down to just three enemy fighters that continue to respawn.

There are eight remaining rites that you need to master now. These can be done in three stages. The first stage you should work Hunter, Apex Predator, Storm, and Crash landing all at once. Use the Leap ability to jump behind the wave. Immediately zap the first enemy with the rite of storms. This will stun the ship. If it appears to heading for a collision leave it alone and let it crash. Otherwise, shoot it with a heavy laser and then the other two enemies quickly. Repeat until those four rites are mastered. This may be the most time consuming part.

The rites of Star and Blaze can be done next. Approach each wave head on. As they get close, trigger the rite of the star power. You should easily spear though multiple targets which should count for both masteries. Repeat as needed.

Finally, focus on mastery for Control and Collision course. As the three enemies approach you, cast your rite of control. You will grab one or two of the enemies. Target the remaining ship and use control to throw a captured ship at it. If you get a collision, it will count for both masteries. If you grabbed two ships, throw them both. Farm until the achievement pops. A message also appears each time you level up a mastery skill.
You can check your progress in the mastery tab in the cn_start menu.

I was disappointed that Deep Silver set up the game to make the rites and combat mastery achievements a lot more annoying than they needed to be. I completed the main story, reverted to the earlier save, finished all the side missions but was still very short on most of them and the open world encounters dried up almost completely. That the only option is to get all the remaining levels in the final mission in one attempt where you can't save progress is ridiculous. If you miss an opportunity to level up one ability, you will have to redo all your efforts for each ability. Plus on my third run through, the game locked up just as I gotten the last rite to level 5 which meant a fourth run through.
By the way, if you're having trouble with Apex Predator, its description is vague. You have to make 3 different leaps and kill 3 different enemies within 20 seconds for it to count.

The last mission is definitely a good place to finish any incomplete masteries. However, I only had 3 rites masteries left to complete by this point and didn't spend time wandering around waiting for enemy encounters. I did complete every side mission, so if you do that and work on masteries as you progress through the game, you should only need to spend 10-15 minutes tops finishing this off.

Much easier than expected when I first started the game.

So question on this one...I ground out most of the rites but had not finished Apex Predator, got to level 4 I think and then completed the final mission. Upon "continuing" all my progress is gone for all the rites but the achievement tracker recognizes I only have one rite left to finish. Is my progress really gone or do I just need to grind out the last kills to finish off?

Same thing here. I tested it just now and you need to have everything at 5 at the same time. This is really stupidly implemented

The good news is the achievement pops when you reload a checkpoint (if you met conditions). I did all the rites in the first part of the fight (generators) and am finishing up dodges and mines during the snake and chase part. It took about an hour for the rites and drifting/boosting. Those last two weren't tracking properly until today.

I am so irritated at this game. I ran into a bug FIVE times in the last area where my game just froze and was forced to restart, thus loosing any progress I was currently farming on. Autosave doesn't help at all against this. Then I say screw this and do the final mission and get most of the stuff leveled up but not all of it only to find out...screw you that progress is not saved after beating the game. So I've wasted hours farming six times for nothing. Does not help that you cannot save when a mission is active! It's a shame cuz the game is decent but too upset with it to give it a good review.

Sadly this achievement is one of two that refuse to pop for me. I used the final level to complete the mastery multiple times to no avail, and that took a lot of time. Ive tried every troubleshoot in the book. Best I could do was take a screenshot of my maxed out progress.

because the description is misleading, someone should add to the guide that the Apex Predator one goes up if you make 3 leaps kills in 20 seconds, not 3 kills after one leap within 20 seconds. It's very badly described.

I finally managed to get Mastery of Rites with the comvoy defense mission and its respawning enemies.

You can farm a little so you don't corrupt the game, then abort the mission to go back to the open world: the progress is not reset so you can save the game and restart the mission to farm again. It's very long and tedious but a good way to save your progress safely.

However keep in mind that even if you're able to abort a mission, the game can still freeze when you want to manual save if you farmed too much.

Also, it doesn't work with the final mission because the abort mission option is not available in the menu.

This is why you need to have some missions still available before final mission for farming and use multiple saves to keep progress and go back according to your objectives.

Good hunt everyone!

I just started on this game a few days ago. I did a test on the masteries and it does save your progress if you reload a checkpoint point. I used this to grind up the the boost and drift. If you come a cross a mission with a lot of weak enemies, just keep reloading to get some of these early.

Not a solution for the whole achievement but I hope this will help.
I was struck on level 4 1/20 Apex Predator for a long time until I saw that the goal was not to leap and kill 3.
But to leap, kill and repeat 3 times within 20 seconds.

Maybe this is common knowledge but I have no idea how I did 4 levels not knowing it.

THANK YOU for pointing this out! I was going crazy trying to figure out why my progress wasn't moving.

Super Predator - inaccuracy in the description in the game
You don’t need to kill 3 opponents in a row in 20 seconds after one jump, but in 20 seconds you need to make THREE jumps and kill three opponents

As they wrote in the “Combat Master” trophy, the fastest way to finish off is by replaying the first stage of the final battle - where three enemies spawn endlessly (near the captured gate)
