How to unlock the Purple Haired Warrior Maiden achievement in Shantae and the Pirate's Curse - Definitive Guide
To get this achievement you must do the following:
-Collect all 32 Heart Squids (Your choice if you convert them into Hearts)
-Collect all 20 Dark Magic
-Purchase all Skills & Upgrades from the Shop (which will cost you 2300 Gems in total, and you can carry a maximum of 999 at a time)
++Shampoo x3 (50, 150, 300)
++Silky Cream x3 (50, 150, 300)
++Pistol Tune Up x3 (100, 150, 200) (Available from the start of Pirate Mode)
++Scimitar Polish (200) (Available from the start of Pirate Mode)
++Backdash (100)
++Recover (150)
++Power Kick (400)
-Beat the game in under 3 hours. (You get one more hour than for the Any% Speed Run)
As a rule of thumb, do this one in Pirate Mode (unlocked after clearing the game once) as you'll start with all the Pirate Items, allowing you to save a lot of time by being able to collect anything as soon as you reach it (barring parts blocked by story events).
----------
As an alternative method to following this walkthrough, if you have an Any% Speedrun save that has at least 15 minutes to spare then you could just run through and collect the rest of the items & upgrades/abilities on that one. (That's how I got this one, with less that 2 minutes left when I got the achievement!)
