How to unlock the Disposophobia achievement in Rogue Legacy - Definitive Guide
For the equipment, here are some things to look out for:
-Typically, the gear blueprint is in either an iron lined chest or the gold chests for defeating a mini-boss. These are more likely to contain the equipment blueprints. There are cases when a regular chest holds that hold the blueprints, but they are much less likely.
-As I said above, the gold chests for mini-bosses frequently hold blueprints. These rooms usually have a ? over them on the map so if you're using a Miner/Spelunker, that's how the room will appear on the legend.
-You need to speak to the blacksmith to get the achievement. The achievement will not unlock when you grab the last blueprint but after speaking to him when he has received them all.
I required NG+ and NG+2 to get the achievement. It might be possible to finish it on NG+, but I had done a speedy run of NG+ in order to finish 2 runs in one session and receive the "Beat the Game Twice" achievement. All in all, take your time and get the equipment. Really focus on exploring the castle and finding treasure chests throughout. Eventually, you'll get everything and finish the requirement for the achievement.
EDIT: According to Hikaru No Go, you can find items even in the 3rd and 4th columns during your first run through the castle. This might be because of reaching such a high level. Either way, it is possible to get very high level gear early (just might take a while).
EDIT 2: According to MemoriesOfFinal, getting Calypso's Compass will be a huge help. It can usually guarantee finding a blueprint in the secret room it guides you to. I personally did not use the compass, but this can help guide you to items such as blueprints or stat ups.
EDIT 3: According to ShotyMcFat, the region of the dungeon you are in will change what you find. Stronger gear will obviously be in the harder regions.
Blueprints are primarily found in Gold chests but can also be found in Iron chests scattered throughout the dungeons and very rarely in Regular chests. You start with 4 blueprints already, which leaves 71 other blueprints to find: 15 capes and 14 in each of the other 4 categories. Once you have collected all of the blueprints, you are awarded the trophy when you talk to the Blacksmith.
In your first playthrough, there are 36 blueprints available to find; everything up to the Sky set can be found totalling 40 blueprints in the first playthrough. While rare it is also possible to find some of the upper-tier equipment in the first playthrough but they are mostly found using the compass or by equipping Curse Runes. As such, I wouldn't recommend searching for anything past Sky equipment in the first playthrough.
Once you start New Game+ the remaining blueprints will become available with the exception of the Dark set. The Dark set can either be found in New Game++, or by using Calypso’s compass in New Game+. Calypso's Compass is an item randomly given to the player by Shrines. When you have this item, it points in a direction towards a secret room in one of the 4 areas. If you reach and enter this area, you will find 2 Gold chests.
Another thing to note about the blueprints is that the more advanced blueprints are limited to harder areas. For example, you won’t be able to find Sky blueprints (the most advanced gear in the first playthrough) in the Castle Hamson. Once you find all the lower tier blueprints, such as Knight blueprints, then the Iron and Gold chests in the earlier areas will give gold instead of blueprints.
Another big thing to be aware of is that it is impossible to find all blueprints on your first playthrough. In a regular New Game, only the first three columns of gear can drop. There is a very small possibility of getting the first one in the fourth column, but that's the max possible in New Game. In New Game+, all of the gear in New Game can drop, plus all of column four and the first in column five. The final two pieces of gear in each category are the Dark pieces, and there is only one way to get them to drop in NG+: in a gold chest inside a secret room accessed if you get Calypso's Compass from a Shrine. This item is extremely rare, so it's not worth counting on it. Instead, you're better off completing NG+ (you need Geminiphobia (50G) anyway) and then starting NG++. In NG++, all gear can drop from chests. So realistically, for this achievement, you're going to need to reach NG++ to access the final blueprints.
While blueprints are normally down to RNG entirely, there is actually an amazing exploit that you can use to get all blueprints available in that playthrough in a matter of minutes. It just requires some luck, as it requires you to find a miniboss room. Here are the steps:
- Locate the miniboss room and kill the miniboss so it drops a gold chest
- Open the gold chest
- DO NOT leave the room or quit to the main menu
- Press the Guide button on your controller and force close the game app
- Launch the game and continue your game. You'll be back in the first room of the castle but will have kept the contents of the chest
- Warp back near the miniboss room and head back inside
- The gold chest will be there, closed, allowing you to open it again for another reward
- Repeat the above steps over and over
You will undoubtedly come across at least one miniboss during your first playthrough of this game, so you can make use of this exploit on your first playthrough to get over half of the available blueprints. Then, on NG+, use this same exploit to get all available blueprints in NG+. You won't need to actually play through NG++ for any reason, so you'll just need to play around until you either get the last blueprints legit or until you find a miniboss room in NG++.
