How to unlock the Alchemaxed Out! achievement in Spider-Man: Edge of Time - Definitive Guide

You need to purchase all of the blue Combat Skills. This includes the skills for either Spider-Man and the shared ones too.

The first thing to keep in mind is that this isn't worth reloading levels until after you've finished the game. By the end (playing on normal and exploring fairly well, but not perfectly) I had only two upgrades left to unlock, both 3500 points.
You can reload levels or repeat challenges from the "Web of Challenges" to gain more tokens as they still count towards your total and, helpfully, you can get to the upgrade screen from the main menu.

The best level I've found so far is "The Imperfect Storm". Ten to fifteen minutes into it, I had the 7000 I needed thanks to the infinitely spawning mutants. If you get to the last Data Cart, it's best to let it explode and just focus on fighting mutants away from it. Once it's destroyed, press the switches again to get another cart and rinse and repeat - it's actually a much easier achievement than it sounds

You might add that if you don't unlock them all in the first play through, you should wait to buy anything until after You've played both Spider-mans. I had 5 points left to buy my last one and bought it as soon as I could. Since the Accelerated Vision and Spider-Sense were not available, I did not get the achievement. So, I guess I get to start a new game as I have all the combat upgrades and no achievement.

Got the achievement after I had given up for the night. Turned on the game to continue my hard play though and got the achievement. Seems I got lucky. Again, you should get try to get this on normal; if you don't wait until around chapter 3. If you did buy before then and got no achievement try restarting the console, might work.
