Hey folks, I noticed there are close to no guides for Zeno Clash, not a single english one. So, I decided to make a quick-access guide to how to unlock all of the achievements, for all you completionists out there.

I am ordering the achievements in 'popularity'...so the harder to obtain achievements will be towards the bottom of the guide.

Total Achievements? 22

How long will this take me? 10-16 Hours (Depending on skill, obviously)

Does the difficulty setting affect achievements? No, you can obtain all the story achievements on Easy, the challenge modes do not have a difficulty setting.

How many playthroughs will I need? Most likely two playthroughs of the story mode, and then some challenge levels

Are there any missable achievements? Yes, but, if you replay a chapter you can still obtain an achievement.

What's with the weird order of achievements? Other than the beat the game achievement, I based my order off of the most obtained stats on steam, the least obtained achievements are closer to the bottom.

The first thing you want to do on the way to 100% completion is to finish the story mode. The only thing you need to worry about here are the missable achievements, the rest can be obtained in the challenge modes. It's great to do the story first because it helps you get better at the fighting in the game, which you need to be pretty decent at for the challenges.

Metamoq's Pupil
Learn all advanced combat techniques.

This is a story based achievement, you will get this as you play through the story.



Light the Path
Ignite all pyres.

Very easy achievement, but missable if you're not paying attention. In The Endworld, hit every pyre with your torch. Only the second one can be missed as it is forked off to the left whereas the main path is to the right, but because of their height most pyres can be seen from a distance, even when unlit.

Target Practice
Shoot 21 Mucalosaurus Worshippers from the boat.

Not a difficult achievement, in Chapter 11 you spend your entire time inside of a boat, during that chapter you need to kill at least 21 enemies.

Body Launcher
Throw an enemy into another.

Possible to miss, but can be completed during the Tower Challenges, you dont have to actually throw the enemy, a finishing move hit on a dazed enemy that comes in contact with another enemy counts as progression towards achievement.

Almost Number One
Bring the Hunter down to 1 healthpoint in melee combat.

You will fight the Hunter multiple times throughout the game. The chapter you will be getting this, is "The Coast" which is almost the last level in the game. You will be facing him a second time on this same level, where you must fight him with your fists. If you get to around a quarter amount of health, you will not get this achievement and will have to restart the whole chapter over.

Easter Egg
Find the secret easter egg.

On the 4th chapter called The Corwid Of The Free, you will find the Easter Egg. After you fight the initial enemies, you will be in a cage in the next scene. Where the Gabel breaks in the cage, run out and around to the right. The egg is located under the tree.

Door Hater
Annoy the man behind the door.

Hard to miss. The text of this achievement is misleading, as there technically is not a man behind the door. The door literally has a recording built into it. Simply press E on the cogs until the door plays its recording.

Heavy Brawler
Defeat a heavy enemy without getting hit.

Skill based achievement, make use of everything you have learned in the game to get this one. Good luck!

Flame Master
Capture 30 fireballs with the torch.

About the middle of the game you will enter a swamp area thats dark, you will be equipped and given instructions on how to use the torch, it tells you that if you swing the torch at incoming projectiles you will capture them in the torch. The "sludge monsters" in this area all throw blue fireballs, keep your distance and let them live, as long as you dont get too close they will continue to throw fireballs. Fairly easy achievement.

Animal Cruelty
Kill 50% of the harmless animals in the game.


Kill all the animals located at the following locations:

• The chickens in Metamoq's training.
  
• The chickens in the woods.
  
• The pigs in the Northern Gate Bar

Untouchable
Land 50 deflect kicks.

Obtainable both in the story and in the challenge modes, very straight forward, you should understand how to get this achievement very early into the game.

Street Fighter
Beat the game without using weapons unless it is absoloutely necessary

The grand daddy of all achievements. This one is hard and you should use an entire seperate playthrough to obtain it. A few hints; just like the achievement says, do not use weapons unless you HAVE to. An example would be the boat level, you do not have to kill the enemies you can just dodge their fire. The only place I used weapons were: Against heavy enemies, against enemies that stood somewhere on top of buildings, in hunter fights (I did not shoot any quirrels or crabs)

Zenozoik Adventurer
Complete the game.

Straightforward as they come, beat the game.

There are a total of 5 Tower Challenges that you must complete, each having 5 floors. Your health refills after each floor, but if you die you must start at floor 1 again. For the Pit Challenges, you must descend down the pits killing enemies as you try to reach the bottom. You will die if you fall from too great of a height, so make sure you plan a good route! These challenges are not all that bad, you may have to try a few times. There is no difficulty setting so less experienced players might have a bit more of a problem.

To get to these challenges, from the main menu go to new game, Tower challenge.

Pit Champion 1
Complete Pit Challenge Number 1


You must descend down to the bottom of the pit without losing your health. Sometimes you will find health pickups along the way, but it will never replenish by itself. You do not have to worry about time.

First Descent
The first pit will be fairly basic. You will lose health if you fall from too far up (or die). As you fall from platform to platform, you will come to an area where there is no platform you can see. What you need to do is use the bombs located on the rocky area you are on to blow up some of the rocks in order to find the next platform. Once you fall down, defeat a few humanoids and a spitting bird.

Area 2

You fight a Therium.

Area 3

Go ahead and heal if needed when you land. Kill the lone humanoid here. Blow up the rocks under the other health to let it drop down to the base floor. Drop done from platform to platform. As you drop to the next, the one you dropped from will slide into the wall. By the time you get to the bottom you will face 5 humanoids.

Pit Champion 2
Complete Pit Challenge Number 2.


You must descend down to the bottom of the pit without losing your health. Sometimes you will find health pickups along the way, but it will never replenish by itself. You do not have to worry about time.

First Descent

Drop down to the first platform and down to the rocky platform. Collect bombs as you see fit, you will now drop to the next area through the middle, where you will fight two spitting monsters. Upon reaching the next rocky platform, you must blow holes in it to see the platform below. Keep speeding down the platforms until you are at the bottom part, facing 4 humanoids and a spitting monster.

Rocky Platform Area 2

Now you will see eggs and more bombs. Go ahead and use the bombs and check out the different areas to find the platforms. If you question if a platform is too far and may take damage, you're probably right. Be careful on this one. Once you drop you'll notice the Hallucinations. Keep going down the platforms to make them drop with you to the Gabel. If you run around a bit you'll notice them fighting it. There will be one Metamoq and 6 Metamoq Hallucinations. After you've cleared them out with the help of the Gabel, grab the weapon and take him out too.

Pit Champion 3
Complete Pit Challenge Number 3


You must descend down to the bottom of the pit without losing your health. Sometimes you will find health pickups along the way, but it will never replenish by itself. You do not have to worry about time.

Major Descent - First Area

This is an extremely difficult descent. A lot is based on speed and luck as you rush to avoid falling due to rocks breaking from a boulder further down. You must defeat several humanoids here. Use bombs and eggs as needed.

Area 2

You must fight 1 Therium and 1 Deinother.

Area 3
Several skinned chickens. Don't worry they don't fight back, it was put in for the sake of making you waste time.

Final Area

Here you will fight a shadow of yourself. Use the same tactics you would a normal humanoid, it seems to just have a little better defense/life. Not really all that more difficult.

This is the final achievement to obtain 100% completetion. The only reason it has it's own section is because of character limits :)

Monocrome Adventurer
Input the Malstrum's Mansion Secret Code


VERY VERY simple achievement, when you get to the main menu of the game, press this sequence with the arrows keys (WASD WILL NOT WORK, MUST USE ARROW KEYS)


UP, DOWN, UP, UP, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, DOWN, DOWN
