How to unlock the The First Million achievement in Dusk Diver 2 - Definitive Guide

MISSABLE

First things first, it's worth noting that Dusk Diver 2 has two currencies in game: Wafers and Dollars.
  1. Wafers are earned in many different ways: Breaking items/boxes, killing enemies, opening treasure chests, and completing side quests. They are also used for many things: Purchasing and upgrading skills are the most important and are the most expensive, but you'll also use Wafers to buy battle items like potions, and so on.
  2. Dollars are far less used in general, but just as important. However, the only way to earn them is by selling materials. You'll use them primarily for purchasing food items and Outfits. (You'll also need them to buy the music records if you care about that, but those are optional.)
     
This trophy is rather self-explanatory; you have to earn $1 million dollars (in cash, not Wafers). However, the somewhat challenging part of this is that it is not cumulative. To get this trophy, you must have $1 million in your inventory all at once.

One slightly frustrating issue when it comes to in-game money is that you're never told which materials to keep for crafting and otherwise, and which ones you can safely sell.

A million dollars is obviously a lot of money, and you'll need that money to purchase food items and Outfit pieces. However, if you want to save yourself time and frustration and prevent a lot of grinding down the line, the best and fastest way to do this is: do not sell any materials and save your money (beyond what you need to buy food with) and DON'T buy any Outfit pieces. If you do this from the start, you can get this trophy much earlier than otherwise, and you won't have to grind for materials later on. However, instead of just getting this trophy earlier, the best thing to do is to wait to pair this trophy with Fashionista trophy_silver.png. Outfits cost a lot of money, but you can use that million dollars to buy them.

If you don't keep this in mind from the start and don't use the following method listed below, you'll more than likely end up find yourself needing to farm battles for materials to sell. If this is the case, the best places to farm for the highest-selling materials are: Dragon Vein LakeTamsui River, and E. District Passage.

Here's the best and fastest method to do to avoid the need to grind: 
  1. Save all of your materials throughout your playthrough until you have enough materials to sell to reach $1 million on the spot AND until you have found all 61 Outfit Designs in the game (see Fashionista trophy_silver.png).
  2. Once you're ready, save your game.
  3. Sell all of your materials in your inventory until you reach $1 million and earn this trophy (The First Million trophy_bronze.png).
  4. Go to the Little Lady Outfit Shop and purchase every single outfit item on sale and earn the Fashionista trophy_silver.png trophy.
  5. Reload your previous save, the one you made prior to selling everything.
Done! This way, you never have to grind after you've finished the game, and you knock out two birds with one stone. This is by far the fastest way to get both of these trophies. Once you reload your save, you're free to do whatever you want, and you'll have a lot of materials you can safely sell to buy the outfit pieces you truly want, without needing to buy all of the others too.


SELLING TIPS:
Putting this trophy aside completely, you'll still probably want to know which materials you can safely sell. Many materials are used in synthesizing Orbs, as well as part of the cost of upgrading your weapon rank. However...
  1. You don't need more than 100 of any material (or even 50, really), so you can definitely sell anything that goes over 100 of.
  2. For your first playthrough, and especially until the later recipes unlock, the Orbs you can synthesize are all very low level. It's much more likely that you'll mainly use Orbs that you got as drops and quest rewards rather than ones you create. Because Orb-making is the main use of materials, that's another reason to say that you'll never need to keep more than 100 of any material, and you can probably get away with much less than that, too. Frankly, I completed a whole playthrough with only synthesizing a handful of Orbs, just to get the Rank 5 Orb trophy (This Is...?! trophy_bronze.png).
  3. The non-organic, non-enemy specific items like Custom Chips and Modification Chips are not used in any recipes in the first playthrough. It's unconfirmed whether they will be useful in future NG+ playthroughs however, but you can safely sell a majority of Modification Chips, and can easily get more if needed. Keeping them at around 40, for example, is more than enough for an "in case" scenario.
