Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition

Monday, February 12, 2018

UPDATE: According to Atsuma Karin (see the comments below) the developers confirmed that this achievement is unobtainable on all 3 platforms and that they're about to fix it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately this Achievement seems to be glitched at the moment!

My Ending Stats Screen:
4 hours 50 Mins
100% Exploration (!)
100% Chests (!)
... and the achievement DIDN’T pop up.

Note that NO ONE ELSE unlocked the achievement yet.


This achievement also unlocks you:

GUIDE:
Here’s a link of the world map included all of the chests and rooms in the game:

I recommend to save the picture of the world map and to paint over all the chests you’ve already collected. I did the same and it worked perfectly.

Basically it’s an open world game and there’s NO NORETURN point where you could miss a chest - Even after beating the final boss, you can reload your gamesave and explore the world again. The savepoint is before the final boss

Some chests are tricky to get. So if you’re struggling with certain chests, you can also follow this 100% WALKTHROUGH VIDEO and take a look how he gets the chest:

I absolutely enjoyed and loved this game. It’s brillant and just amazing. The art and style, how the gameplay and maps got build up - just amazing!
I truely recommend you to test this game out. Take a look by yourself.
5/5 Stars!

Since Trials of Fear was added, you now need to explore and find every chest in both the main game and the dlc to 100% completion for this to unlock. I can confirm this as I had originally beat the base game at 100% but didn't unlock this achievement until after I found everything in the dlc and THEN completed the game.

NOTE:


Personally I would recommend that you first do the base game completion, beat the final boss and then go to the secret statistics room (located in village center basically right below the campfire) so that you can unlock the progress tracker that way you can more easily track your progress when traversing the DLC area (and also make sure you didn't miss anything in the base game).

Here is a video of the base game completion (Note that since this is the iOS version there will be some minor variations in loot drops and some layout changes in certain parts of the game!)

If you would rather just see the map for the base game here is a link with the chests marked as well:

And here is a link to the map for the DLC, this page includes both the map by itself and a map with chests:

Some of the chests in the dlc area were kinda tricky to find and I found that the posts here helped me wrap up the ones I was missing!: https://www.reddit.com/r/dandara/comments/fh1dbn/hidden_real...

This is a video guide showing the location of all chests as well as all rooms in the game.

I must give you a heads up in advance just so you don't freak out like me and think you did something wrong or forgot something: this is an IOS version of the game and for some reason the door connecting the rooms called "The Golden Threat" and "The Golden Path" in the forest section does not exist in the X1 version. Instead there's a salt platform where the the door should be.

But don't think this video guide is no use for your 100% walkthrough and you'll miss some rooms if you follow it. On the contrary, this video guide helped me tremendously and I got all the secret achievements and collectibles/exploration related ones following it. Just read the whole solution and follow my instructions and you'll be fine.

At the 1:11:49 lenght mark of the video Dandara will go through this door I mentioned above and visit the following rooms: "The Golden Path", "The Golden Weaponry", "The Breach in the Wall" and "The Golden Angle".

Now you can't reach these rooms the same way the guy on the video does because the door he goes through is not there for you so what you'll do is take the left door that leads to the "Limits of Sanity" room. You'll see a wooden sign on the right that reads "Primal Woods" and a purple flipping platform blocking your way. Take the lower path and you find one of those rotating circles with 4 platform arms and a skull in the middle. Reach the door above you and enter it.

Visit all 4 rooms ahead of you, head back to the "The Golden Threat" room and continue watching/following the walkthrough.
