How to unlock the BFA achievement in Darksiders III - Definitive Guide
DLC EDIT UPDATE: Many are reporting that this achievement is now bugged. According to the tracker it is still unlocking for some people, but the bug appears to be common nonetheless. Hopefully THQ addresses and fixes this.
The BFA achievement requires you to unlock all other achievements to unlock this.
-It does not have to be done in one single playthrough.
-If it doesn't unlock right away, save the game and turn off your Xbox and relaunch the game. (Seems to be the case most often)
-You don't have to find literally everything such as angelic artifacts to unlock this. There are a total of 6 Essence of Chosen along with 72 Angelic and 72 Demonic Artifacts in the game. You only need 5/6 to get the achievement, so you can miss a few and still unlock everything.
-You can get every single achievement in a single playthrough on apocalyptic difficulty, although "For Whom the Bell Tolls, "Demon Meddler" and "A Parting Gift" are missable. If you do miss them start a new game on Story difficulty and remember that you only need the 4 hollows to do the Abraxis sidequest, so as soon as you beat Gluttony go to the Scar without worrying about Sloth or Wrath.
As far as apocalyptic difficulty goes the biggest tips I can give are:
-Don't dodge too early. Dodge right before their attacks come in contact with Fury, not when their attack animation starts,
-Buy a lot of fortification shards. These greatly reduce the damage you take and allow you to survive most boss fights easily.
-If you die during a boss fight when you used shards, close out of the game as soon as Fury does her dying animation and before the black loading screen. This will prevent the game from autosaving and allow you to keep your items, as grinding for them can become a huge pain.
-Save all the humans as soon as you get all 4 hollows. The rewards you get for saving them are nearly game breaking and make some of the later bosses a joke.
-Keep most attributes balanced.
-Defeat all the Chosen bosses as soon as you can and use "The essence of chosen" to max out your enhancements. There are 6 total Essences you can get per run, and only 5 are needed for an achievement.
-If you are doing apocalyptic on your second playthrough and just need that achievement, its possible to fight Pride right away as soon as you meet her (which is available after you have the first hollow). This will probably be patched, but it pretty much allows you to beat the game by only fighting her and the final boss if you feel confident in your dodging abilities.
Edit: Appears the early pride fight is patched. Perhaps playing offline with an older patch could get around this.
DLC Edit: With the introduction of DLC, a few extra options have become viable. First of all, you can now get unlimited Essence of Chosen via the crucible. New game plus was also introduced and this could likely give you a much easier way of beating Apocalyptic as you will already be fairly leveled up and equiped from previous runs. Just make sure you change your difficulty to Apocalyptic before you land the finishing blow on the final boss.

I can confirm that your method does help unlock the achievement after getting all other achievements.

Didn't unlock for me despite unlocking everything else. Can confirm dashboarding and reloading does the trick!

Just a note regarding the DLC: it seems like you unlock this whenever you get to 49 achievements won, I popped this during the crucible, and am still missing 2 achievements from the base game.

I can confirm too. Missing this and the apocalyptic achievement from main game. After the first achievement In the DLC it’s popped!

Bug note: Many gamers have been reporting that this achievement is a bit buggy as I have experienced myself. Once the credits roll and you're back on the main menu. Close the game out then relaunch it. Continue with your game and once Fury respawns, the achievement will unlock.

Glitched trophies: a lot
It’s strange that the platinum card says no, although on the same playstationtrophies org the road map says “Glitched trophies: Many.”
What kind of trophies that didn’t appear are people complaining about on foreign sites: trophies for difficulty levels, upgrading improvements, upgrading things, saving 20 people, spending 50 points.
What didn't work for me:
Complete the game on Apocalyptic/Normal difficulty . In the finals I received a trophy only for “beating the game on any difficulty.” Fortunately, I’ve already learned from glitchy trophies, so as I progress through the game, I sometimes make backup saves (which I advise you to do in this game). So before the final boss there was a copy of the save on the flash drive. By replaying the final battle, I received my well-deserved trophies.
Spend 50 stat points . I only came to my senses in the postgame, when I was collecting all the trash. The level was 57, all the points that were pumped in, but there was no trophy. I copy the save before the boss fight. Level 46, I break all the accumulated souls, it becomes level 55, I distributed all the points between skills. No trophy. I remember that Vulgrim can reset everything. I reset, get my 50-odd points, pump in again. 1, 2, 3...10, 11, 12 ding trophy. Where is the logic here, I don’t know, and is it worth looking for it in glitchy trophies.
Save 20 people . After receiving the trophy for 15 people, I began to count how many more I found... I counted two. I looked all over the video guide, there was no one, I found everyone myself. Ultein, who gave me this medal for saving people, only confirmed that all 20 people were saved. “Well done for saving everyone, you deserve the last improvement, thanks for your help.” I received the trophy in the new game when I saved the first three. Well, it turns out that the statistics took into account only 17 of those saved on the first playthrough, and assigned three to the trophy only in the second playthrough. And thanks for that, I didn’t have to look for everyone again.
Increase the Nephilim's deferment pool 4 times . I realized too late that I didn’t receive this trophy. All 4 upgrades are easy to find, so everything was found by the final boss. And it's not in the game anymore. Start the game again. OK. I take the first nearby upgrade, after a half-hour speedrun... and ding. Yes, the statistics glitched again, and I got the trophy when I took 5 upgrades.
The problem is not that widespread, and most people get platinum without problems. But there are some lucky ones like me. Be careful.
