How to unlock the Half-Genie, all Hero! achievement in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - Definitive Guide

This achievement has a few confusing collectables, to nab this achievement you need to have 99% completion before you start the final stage. It unlocks after the very long credits which you cant skip, it includes every backers name...

You can check the completion percent at the file select screen.

Now to what counts to the percent:

12 transformations

14 hearts

10 gallery keys (once you've opened all 10 doors speak to the mayor he gives you an item)

Green and Red stones

All items from the item shop and their upgrades

All items from snake vendor and their upgrades (this includes the 2 trade-able items which you have to have had them in your inventory at least once)

All Relics: Monkey Bullet, Elephant Stomp, Crab Claw, Mouse Bite, Harpy Talon, Bat Sonar, Mermaid Bubble, Spider Venom and Waterfall Relic.

I haven't checked these ones but im guessing you need to collect all 4 of risky's clothing items and you may need to have had each of the healing items in your inventory, there is 5 total they are next to the whistle.

Fastest way to collect gems was to trade for the jug transformation from the snake vendor and get max attract from the item shop and to sit in the bath house water. (the mayor gives you a tiara after opening the 10 art gallery doors, it gives you infinite magic so you can do it at the snake vendor or in the item shop to save time)

I appreciate the time you took into typing this guide.
It was helpful I wish I would have read it before I finished the game without buying the two tradable transformations. 98% complete. -.-

You do need the 4 risky clothing items and you need to give them to your uncle for a new item to count towards 100%

The upside is, all you have to do is complete the final stage again once you do have 100% and it will unlock.

Another tidbit.... maybe out of place here. but no guide on the plain game completion...

Disconnect any extra controllers, and turn them off after you beat the game. If there are 2 controllers turned on, even if the game has ran perfect, for some reason it stalls at the end credits. Or it did for me. I had a second controller charging, and it was turned on as they usually are when charging. Disconnected it... and it finally allowed me past the time/item % screen. Otherwise it was locked up, and was having to manually kill the game. Couldn't unlock other modes due to it, till I figured it out.

Crustacean area 2, you come to a point where enemies endlessly spawn from a ship. If you sit underneath with scimitar and unlimited/reduced magic you can walk away for a few minutes and gems will be capped at 999. Even with warping to the area I found it much faster than the jug.

I was also stuck at 98%. Even though I had collected everything, I never technically used the Bat Sonar ability since you can only really use it in the Dark Room (Cape Crustacean Part III), which I beat using the Harpy. I beat the final boss again, ran through the credits (hold A) and the achievement popped on the next screen.

Just FYI, even if you dont beat the game the first time at 100%, you can backtrack and collect everything then face the final boss and roll credits again to get the achievement

AM I DUMB!!!! I forgot to turn in the clues to Shantae's uncle, THAT was what I was missing the whole damn time!

Might want to mention you need to turn all four of Risky's clothing in to Shantae's uncle to get the Magical Polarizer before going to her hideout

I would suggest going for this as part of your speed run (since there is a 100% speed-run trophy as well). As such, I would like to divert your attention to the primary solution that is posted there:

See Quick Collector.

Glitch Warning: This trophy is potentially glitched if you are on your second playthrough. To prevent this glitch from taking place, make sure you do NOT have the Gemjug or Blobfish transformation in your inventory upon completing the game for the first time or beginning a new game. Trade them back to Tuki if you picked them up. See this thread for more information: LINK

All collective items by chapter - Video
Before the last level, make sure you have 99% in your stats. To get them accurately you need:

Collect and (very important) apply all 12 transformations at least once. Not only creatures, but also all the trees, glitch fish, jug, tree, explosion, teleport, female version of Bushroot, which gives oranges and medicine.

Collect all 12 hearts.

All 10 keys to the gallery, open all the doors and talk to the mayor (hangs out there), he will give a tiara for endless magic.

Red and green stones.

Buy everything in the store, all relics and upgrades.

Also buy everything in the Snakes-in-a-Pot store. Found at the end of the mermaid factory (after 2 crocodiles in helmets) and in the desert level after the tower. And be sure to use both interchangeable magics. There she has 2 magics that can be changed. And you can only change them with her! So we took it, tried it, and changed it to something more suitable.

Collect all transform upgrades: Monkey Bullet, Elephant Leap, Crab Claw, Mouse Bite, Harpy Feather, Bat Sonar (Batsonar) ), Mermaid Bubbles, Spider Venom and a relic for waterfalls (allows you to move through vertically flowing water).
