How to unlock the Reverie Under the Moonlight achievement in Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight - Definitive Guide

While this achievement is self-explanatory, I thought I would describe how I was personally able to do it. Your experience may vary, but for anyone looking for a method that works:
100%/No-death playthrough on Normal:
In this playthrough, I got these achievements:
True Ending
Bug Collector
Imperishable
Faithful
Healthy!
P-pleasegiveittome!
Explorer
Second playthrough on Hard
In this playthrough, I got this achievement:
Pacifist
Third playthrough on Insane
In this playthrough, I got these achievements:
Don't Even Try This
Reverie Under the Moonlight
What I would recommend (and what I would have done differently):
Instead of doing your first playthrough on Normal like I did, I would recommend jumping into Hard. You need to beat the game on Hard in order to unlock Insane anyway, and doing your Pacifist playthrough on Hard is not fun. Trust me... seriously brutal.
I won't sugarcoat it: jumping into Hard right out of the gate may be a bit rough for some people at first, but once you start to get the hang of the game, and get some upgrades, you will find ways to get past certain sections. Don't be afraid to backtrack to save rooms if you need to.
Collecting everything on this playthrough will be mostly beneficial, as many items do serve some purpose at one point or another. Beat all bosses without taking damage so they will drop an item (the clone boss near the end, plus the final boss on non-New Game+ are the exceptions to this) that will make your run a bit easier. This will also force you to practice some of the boss fights multiple times, and ultimately, practice will make this game more than doable later on in Insane.
Do your Pacifist playthrough next on Easy. There's virtually no point in playing it on any other difficulty, as it is pretty tricky trying to bypass certain sections without killing anyone on Hard, especially before you have the air dash. I can't confirm, but you probably could do this playthrough on New Game+ from your first Hard playthrough.
Do your final playthrough on Insane. You've beaten the game twice now, so you should know what to expect, but here's a quick piece of advice:
Most heart containers aren't too far off the main path, so collect them all! I took a hit in the final boss fight, and I survived it because I had collected them. She is really not difficult once you understand all her moves, which you should by now. The main benefit of surviving a hit is that if you have the Necklace of Sacrifice equipped, you will do 100% more damage while at low health. I got through her third phase rather quickly because of this. As far as I can remember, that was the only boss fight I took any damage, since I wanted the boss items of the others.
For anyone struggling with strategies on the boss fights, I recorded most of my victories, so feel free to watch (I forgot to record a couple of the easier ones). EDIT: Seems a few of the ones I recorded are nowhere to be found, including the final fight :( :( :(
Hope this helps. Any questions, feel free to ask me.

@LongRyde - I'm guessing you used a different gamertag? It doesn't show that you've played it - I'm going to assume it's the only achievement you don't have in the game on whichever profile you're using.
It popped for me without issue years ago after getting the penultimate achievement in the game, so I'm not sure what has changed since then, but it does seem other people have had some issues. With how unreliable achievements have been the last year in general, it may just be delayed for you.
Some things that have worked for me in the past on stubborn achievements:
1) Click your Xbox button and tab over to where the Gamerscore leaderboard is (in the People tab), click on the leaderboard, scroll down to your name, click on it, scroll down to this game, click on it, and you should see the full achievement list. Scroll through that list of achievements (give it a little bit of time) and sometimes just being on that page for a minute or so will pop an achievement that should have previously unlocked within that game (don't ask me why - it works a lot though).
2) You can also try signing out of your Xbox profile while you're in the game, and then sign back in.
3) Doing a hard reset of your console could work as well.
4) If none of those work immediately, you might just need to wait a couple days for something to sync with your profile. Hopefully it eventually unlocks for you. Some games have issues with the "get all achievements" achievement. I got screwed out of the one on Blasphemous, as did a bunch of other people.

I would suggest doing the 100% on normal or easy, a pacifist on easy then a hard and an insane speedrun. Yeah you have to beat the bosses again but the ideal route to get the bad ending (which is good for everything except the True Ending achievement) is much much much simpler and shorter than getting everything. If you do it on hard you just make it much longer and frustrating than it needs to be. You have to learn how to flawless the bosses because that is the simplest and easiest way to complete the game regardless of difficulty and when you learn them you can do it reliably again. So only your first playthrough will be hard but that will be hard regardless of difficulty. And doing your no-death playthrough on normal or easy saves you tons of reloading.
