How to unlock the Coaching is overrated achievement in Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Heres a video guide I found (not mine):


You can use chapter select or new game+ to finish collecting, plus you will need to complete all the challenges to get Orbs as rewards.

I would add that the upgrades saves immediatly when you grab them, no checkpoint "finish the level" needed.

So you can grab the upgrade orb and then quit straight out?

Be carreful for the last two levels. The 4th orb of the 10th level is considered as the 1st one of the 11th level ...

Just grapple small enemies with Y and kill them with the Katana right after.

Not orb related, but with the "Target Practice" challenge, you want to shoot the Kugutsu demon and NOT the balloon they're on. It was driving me crazy until I figured it out

Warning to any future players : The video has a mistake.

The video mislabels the last silver orb of lvl 10 as the first orb of lvl 11. So instead of quitting to the main menu when you get the supposedly "last" lvl 10 orb of the video, keep going and collect the next silver orb the video claims is the "first" orb of lvl 11, as it is actually the fourth orb of lvl 10. Otherwise you'll have to do the whole level all over from the start to get that last orb of lvl 10.

Also I can as a sidenote confirm the game saves your orbs the moment you collect them. So no need to reach checkpoints after you collect them.

Is there any indication within the chapter select menu as to how many of the orbs within that level you've collected? Or do you just have to use your memory and see if you remember collecting them or not? Obviously I'll know if I completed all of the challenges (thanks to a guide below) that I have 19 orbs (9 weapon and 10 character), so I suppose it's just a case of walking backwards from there.

Answering my own question here (and editing a duplicate comment), but thanks to a guide someone linked to on Powerpyx, I found the following wording:

When using Chapter Select, all Upgrades obtained so far (both collectibles and challenges) will carry over, so you will not need to re-collect any if you’re cleaning up via Chapter Select. Each Chapter will also list how many Weapon and Character Upgrades are available as collectibles, so you can easily keep track of which levels you are missing collectibles in.

For those not video inclined, not my work but I found it more useful than un-narrated jarring edit skipping videos.
edit one of the ones on the fast and the furriest is wrong or I am reading it wrong. 32 is after the first combat arena (use the picture the glowy tree in the background as ref)

Video worked a treat for me. Just had my iPad next to me and used it to mop up all my missed orbs. Thanks for posting the video.

It definitely works using chapter select and just finding them and exiting out. That's how I got the 2 I missed.

The previous video posted by Sensei Neo is alright but as ever the videos by Maka's Guides are always fantastic. This one has commentary, correct level names and is a lot easier to follow I feel. There is a slight error in the video which is the same in the other one. The first orb Maka shows in the last level is actually the 4th orb from Midnight Shack.

As well as collecting the silver and purple orbs in each level, you will also need to complete the in game challenges to unlock further orbs which are required to give you enough points to upgrade your weapons and character. To see the challenges hit cn_back in-game and then cn_RB to go across to the challenges. Each time you get progress you will get a little pop up on screen. When you complete a challenge you need to go back to the challenges and claim your reward which is further orbs to use on upgrades. Also it is worthy of note new challenges appear as you collect new weapons.

Challenges are fairly self explanatory but note that for the 'Target Practice' challenge you need to kill the enemies whilst they are still hanging on the balloons. Shooting the balloons and making them fall does not count.

There are total 77 upgrade points.
19 Upgrades can be gotten from combat challenges (9 weapon and 10 character).
And 58 upgrade orbs are found throughout the game world (40 weapon and 18 character).

Obtaining all Upgrades is necessary for the Coaching Is Overrated trophy / achievement.

If missed out on your first run, there is chapter select to collect everything.
