How to unlock the A True Hero achievement in SWORD ART ONLINE: FATAL BULLET - Definitive Guide

EDIT: Video is up. Read to bottom to view it.
EDIT 2: As of 3/28, I have found the minimum requirements for the true ending. The solution has been updated to reflect this.

For this achievement you'll need the following done before completing the main quest Mother Claudia:

1) Reach Rank 4 Affinity 75% with all characters original to Fatal Bullet. (Your ArFA-sys, Kureha, Zeliska, Itsuki, and Bazalt Joe)

2) Reach Rank 2 Affinity with the remainder of the cast. (This does not include LLENN, Fukaziroh, Pitohui, M, or any additional characters from the incoming expansions.)

3) View all events for each character while on your avatar. (They'll appear as green word bubbles in the Urban District of the SBC Glocken, this includes the sleepover scenes for your ArFA-sys, Kureha, Zeliska, Itsuki, and Bazalt Joe.)

Note that you'll earn these achievements as you do this:
SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal BulletMaster and Me Will Always Be Together!The Master and Me Will Always Be Together! achievement in SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal Bullet worth 26 pointsGrow close to your ArFA-sys.

SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal BulletBest Friends ForeverThe Best Friends Forever achievement in SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal Bullet worth 297 pointsReach affinity level 4 with every friend.

You do NOT need to complete Kirito mode in order to get the true ending of the game, but doing so can net you these achievements if you do:

And this if you have every Weapon Art:
SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal BulletMaster of the ArtsThe Master of the Arts achievement in SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal Bullet worth 49 pointsAcquire all Weapon Arts.

As well as this if you complete everyone's events as Kirito (who are found in the Lobby of the SBC Glocken):
SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal BulletSecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in SWORD ART ONLINE: Fatal Bullet worth 62 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement

Once you've met the requirements, return to your room and your ArFA-sys will give you an "ArFA-sys Charm", one of the keys to the true ending of the game. Once you've got that, proceed through the main story of the game. When you get to the point where you choose to save either Kureha or Zeliska, choose whoever, you'll be saving both. If you've followed this to the book, the final main quest will be changed from "Clincher" to "Fatal Bullet", hence the subtitle of the game. The quest will offer another objective aside from escaping the death game which is the next step to achieve the true ending.

To save both Kureha and Zeliska from certain death, you MUST put massive DPS onto the GM (the normal final boss) when it charges up it's most powerful attack. Fail to do so and you'll get the normal ending instead. It will attempt this at 40% health and if you put enough DPS on the boss, it'll be stunned. Use this opportunity to finish it off. If it gets back up, it'll try again at 15%. Defeat the boss to save Kureha and Zeliska. Then sit back for a bit and watch as the cinematic unfolds.

Now for the last part. Defeat the true final boss of the main game, Dark Judgement. Its level will be five levels over the GM. 85 on Easy/Normal and 155 on Extreme difficulty (five levels over the game's original cap, 150). Defeat the true final boss of the game and you'll finally be in the clear. Watch the cut scenes as they reveal the true ending to Fatal Bullet (which I thought it was awesome). Once you've select either option to restart the story from the beginning (I selected "No" as I wanted to grind for some Rank 7 weapons), you'll earn the achievement.

Note: You do NOT have to do it on Extreme difficulty to earn the true ending of the game, but it is recommended as you'll earn other achievements efficiently as you do.

Here is the final boss battle:

Just curious, I've met the requirements but haven't got the amulet yet? There are numerous green bubbles around, but all asking for "dates". Someone mentioned to finish then game again, and then the amulet will be given upon rewinding?

EDIT: My mistake, didn't realize the date bubbles count. I thought they were just repeatable events, but I guess you need to clear these by getting the "room" scenes.

@Shred Asics 13 Yep, the date bubbles do count. You need to choose the right choices to get the sleepover scenes for the Fatal Bullet original characters. If you choose the wrong choice, you can reload the map and try again.

I also made a fresh character to confirm the rewind part before I update the solution again.

I think I might need Bazalt Joe sleepover scene still (unfortunately...) but I was curious if by the rest of the cast you meant also Yamikaze/Musketeer X/etc. at the bottom of the friend list?

Ah looks like you can only do sleepover scenes with the original SAO cast (i.e. Asuna, Lisbeth, Silica, Leafa, Sinon, etc.) during Kirito mode and I might be missing a couple of those

@Cheva1ier You do not need the sleepover scenes with Kirito to achieve the True Ending as I stated in my solution:
2) Reach Rank 2 Affinity with the remainder of the cast. (This does not include LLENN, Fukaziroh, Pitohui, M, or any additional characters from the incoming expansions.)

Is it safe to skip events with the green balloon? I mean, do them but skip the scenes, they are boring and it becomes tedious to do them again in the second playthrough

ArFA-sys did not give me the “ArFA-sys Charm" until I beat the game once. Then I was given the option to rewind and save my friends. Upon reloading back in, ArFA gave me the charm. Was trying to get the charm the first go around, but looks like it’s only obtainable on the rewind now.

Right so I have a question regarding step 2, when you say affinity rank 2 for the remaining cast do you mean everyone in your squadron or all remaining cast except dlc

Okay please define “massive dps” as I just completed the boss fight the second time and Kureha still died even though I have the arfa-sys charm. I’m level 93 using level 6 weapons. I started the fight blasting him in the chest jewel (his apparent weak spot) then suddenly dark beam of death and kureha dies. What am I missing please?

I just got the achievement get Arf-sys, Kureha, Zeliska, Itsuki, Bazalt Joe to 4 affinty 75%. Get Kirito, Asuna, Sinon, Leafa, Lisbeth, Silica, Yuuki, Argo, Klein, Agil, Premiere, Strea, Philia, Rain to affinty 2. Make sure all your green chat bubbles are gone from regular and kirito mode, go on all dates and sleeping scenes, once all that is done beat the game. If everything is correct when you revert time, your Arf-sys gives you the charm, then beat the game again but during the boss fight do enough damge to stun the boss so he doesn't finish the black orb attack for the true ending.

Note: if you want to save time you can skip cutscenes and event scenes, you don't need to watch the full scene

hello everyone I got the real end of this way
First of all I advise you to finish the game 1 first time to unlock the extreme mode.

Then repeat the game until the quest called (last round lvl 59)
and from there you will have to mount all your friends in lvl 4 100%

To do this you will have to play with the entirety of your characters in your team by congratulating them, quetes annex, etc. If you wish you can also boost their affinity by reanimant it is at that serves the extreme mode. part I was in the dungeon research lab at the teleporter of the millieux to advance on the bridge and made reanimation loop.avec with this technique I put about 5 hours for all the characters.Apres there is another technique they are on youtube if you want to see them.

Then once all the people at max speak to everyone at sbc gloken there must be no more green bubbles in any room of the sbc and also think to do the 3 quest annex in the kirito room (make an outfit, improve a weapon, identify an object) Once done make all the green bubbles in kirito mode your friends will all be in the lobby. (ps: advance a little bit in the story to unlock kirito mode)

then return to your room your ark sys will give you an amulet (ps: she give it to me earlier in my part you will still have to do as explained above)

For the last part continue until the final quest your choice of who to save does not change anything for the true ending.If you all did the right thing the final quest will have a different name it will be called (Fatal Bullet)

Easily for the final fight weaken the boss to half of his life he will make a final attack a big black ball be ready to put a max of damage in the mouth of the boss if a cinematic starts leaving the game directly and raise if you have Successful fight will continue without interruption. Once the boss ko after several cinematics you will have to beat the improved version of the boss.
once that makes you look at the cinematics and finish your game DO NOT MOVE BACK IN TIME

you will have your success so if any other info he hesitates to say in comment I had to do 4 new game more to have this success this way it works after there may be other

And sorry for my english good games at all

Are you sure you need to complete the game to unlock Extreme Mode?

I started yesterday my NG+ and I can only chose the difficulty between Easy-Medium and Hard. No Extreme
mode unlocked.
I am currently lv 95 and still no Extreme Mode unlocked.

do you have to complete it once? It is possible to do this on normal?

As Long as I can do the true Ending on normal, it's okay. I just don't want to raise the friends to Level 4 twice.

you DO NOT need to do it on extreme mode but it does make it easier to get level 4 friendship with people. also you only need level 4 75% with Afasys, Kureha, Zeliska, Itsuki, and Bazalt Joe and only level 2 with everyone else for the amulet. but since there is another achievement for getting level 4 with everyone you might as well do it.

What is the best affinity boost if doing this on your first playthrough (i.e., don't have Extreme unlocked yet)?

The sniper/revive method work ok on Normal? Does Affinity Carry over? Should I not bother with this on 1st playthrough?

@Shred Don't bother with it on your first playthrough. Do it on NG+/Extreme playthrough. You'll get a horde of achievements then.

Story Related but MISSABLE

 

  • To get to the true ending you must do the following:
  • Obtain Rank 4 75%+ affinity with Kureha, Zeliska, Itsuki, Arfa-Sys and Bazalt Joe.
  • Obtain Rank 2 affinity with the rest of the base game characters.
    Complete the three tutorial missions in Kirito's Room. (Create an outfit, appraise a weapon, transform a weapon).
  • Clear every green bubble of the map, if the green bubble is there and no character to talk to reload the area and they will reappear.


This has to be completed before you finish the SBC Flügel dungeon. Once this is complete go talk to your Arfa-sys in your room and you should get a charm. Once you obtain this charm that is the cue you are on the path to the true end. When your Arfa-sys asks you who you want to save it doesn’t matter who you pick, but when the creature uses the Dark Sphere Charge Attack you will want to deal enough damage to either stagger the enemy or kill it. This will put you to the second fight vs it but still having both your friends alive.

To get the True Ending of the game, there are a number of steps that must be completed before the mission "Mother Claudia" is done (so when it activates, don't proceed further) which are as follows:

  • Do all the tutorial missions from Agil, Lisbeth, and Asuna.
  • Finish Kirito Mode.
  • Raise ArFA-sys, Kureha, Zeliska, Itsuki, and Bazalt Joe to Level 4, 75% affection.
  • Raise Kirito, Asuna, Sinon, Leafa, Lisbeth, Silica, Yuuki, Argo, Klein, Agil, Premiere, Strea, Philia, and Rain to level 2 affection. Note: While only Level 2 is required, I would suggest getting to Level 4 during this step anyway, as it is needed for another achievement.
  • Go to the SBC Glocken and make sure all green bubbles are cleared by speaking to the person and viewing their event/date scenes.
  • Get the ArFA-sys Charm from your unit at home.

These steps can be done in any order, so long as each of them are complete before taking on the mission above. You will receive the final quest titled "Fatal Bullet" if you did this correctly, otherwise it will still say "The Clincher" which is the Normal ending path.

During the actual boss fight, you must also ensure you do not get hit with his beam attack which will be marked by a gathering of black and purple energy. Keep evading this attack or knocking him down by pumping damage into his weak spot quickly to stun him, then finish him off. The video below will run through the final boss battle so you can spot this attack and what the ending should look like. If you don't get the proper ending, force close the game and you should start back before the boss.
