Welcome to the Nobody Saves the World Trophy and Achievement guide! Difficulty wise, this is an overall easy list, but it can be a bit of a grind.
There are no missable Achievements and it will take two playthroughs to reach 100%. There are no difficulty settings, so there are no difficulty related Achievements. It’s going to take a normal playthrough and a New Game + playthrough.
5/10 Estimated Difficulty
35 Estimated Hours to Completion
2 Minimum Playthroughs
0 Missable Trophies/Achievements
First Playthrough
On your first time through the game, you’re going to want to do everything. By that, I mean complete every side quest, max out all forms, find all 35 mana fairies, unlock all miscellaneous Trophies/Achievements and buy everything from the shop.
Go ahead and get everything out of the way and completed so that you’ll be as ready as you possibly can be for NG+.
There is free roam after completing the story, so anything you haven’t finished can still be done post game.
As previously mentioned, there are no missables. However, there is one thing to be aware of. For the “One of Everything, Please” Achievement, you’re going to have to get this done on your first playthrough. Stars are needed to progress through the story. You can buy a bag of Stars from the shop. The bag of Stars are not sold on NG+. You only need to buy at least one bag of them, so be sure to do that on your normal playthrough.
You’re going to wan to have every Achievement unlocked except for “A world so nice I saved it twice.”
New Game +
There are a few differences when it comes to NG+ opposed to the normal playthrough.
First, you will need to complete all 19 demi dungeons in order to progress through the story. You will only receive Stars by completing these dungeons on NG+, so they are required. The dungeons will also have different combat modifiers than in your previous playthrough. If you’ve completed everything on first playthrough, you can just go straight from dungeon to dungeon completing them. There won’t be a reason to do anything else on NG+ outside of the dungeons.
Another aspect of NG+ are the enemies. The enemies will scale to your level. So there is really no reason to try and level up on this playthrough.
Just pay attention to the combat modifiers before entering a dungeon and be sure to use the right forms with the right Passives in order to counter the modifiers.

Unlock Dragon Form
The Dragon form is the final form. This is something that will unlock as you work your way toward getting max rank for every form. So, don’t worry about this. Just focus on getting every form to S rank and this will come with it.
See the “Super Wiz” Trophy/Achievement for more information on maxing out all forms.
The S is for Super
Reach max Rank on a single Form
See the “Super Wiz” Trophy/Achievement below for more details.
Super Wiz
Reach max Rank on all Forms
Each form will have a letter rank. When you first unlock a form, they will be at “F.” In order to reach max rank, you will need to get every form to “S.” You unlock other forms by reaching high ranks with other forms. In other words, you’ll unlock every form as you S rank them all.
You can’t just farm and kill enemies to gain XP. Each form has challenges that are kept in the missions log. Each time you complete a challenge for a form, that form will be given XP.
You will need to basically do every challenge for every form.
You will also need to progress through the story in order to unlock the challenges required to reach “S.” You’ll be topped out at “B” until you complete the first three legendary dungeons. After that, the rest of the challenges will be unlocked.
There are two exceptions to the challenge based form rank.
- Base White Form. – You rank up your base form by completing story missions. You’ll reach “S” for this by completing the story.
- Egg Form – To reach “S” for the Egg, you’re going to need to find five big nests and lay on them as the Egg. The locations will show up on your map as you defog the map. They are also listed below.

Peak Performance
Reach the max upgrade level of all of one Form’s abilities
Each Form will come with its own abilities. In order to get this, you’re going to have upgrade every ability of a Form to the max. The max level for an ability is IV.
It does not matter what Form you choose to fully level up. You only need to do it for one Form. You will need to rank up a Form in order to unlock all of it’s abilities. That is something that will come as you work toward “Super Wiz.”
In order to level up abilities, you will need to spend upgrade tokens. These are the circular blue coin like objects that have an arrow in the middle of them. You can earn these tokens by killing enemies, opening chests, completing dungeons and you can buy them from the merchant as well. The merchant will sell them in bags of five. You don’t really need to purchase them though. You’ll rack them up fairly quickly as you work your way through the game.
You can view the abilities by pressing Touchpad > (X2) > Upgrades /

You will come across the merchant very early on in the game. She will show up frequently and in every area of the map. Some of the items are locked behind story progression, so this won’t be obtained until late in the game.
To pop this, you will need to buy the following items:

None of these are missable and 33 of them are found in the over world. They will show up on your map as you uncover the map. You wont have any problems finding these as long as you are exploring and defogging the entire map.
You’ll be able to see how many you have as it will be a mission listed in the Quests tab.
The two Fairies that are not found in the overworld are listed below:
- One of them is in the Dark Expanse. This is the cave where you will need to light all of the fires for “The Light Expanse.”
- The other one is found in a cave in the southwest side of the map. The cave entrance is actually hidden. The location is marked below:
Pony Love
Experience true love
This can be earned in the first area of the game.
You will need to rescue the horses from a demi dungeon to the northeast of the map near the Grand Castle Legendary Dungeon.
After rescuing the horses, they will gather outside of the entrance to the demi dungeon. You need to then unlock the horse form by leveling up the rat and guard forms.
Once you have the horse form unlocked, equip it and then go speak to the golden horse with the ! above its head. This Trophy/Achievement will pop during this conversation.

The Gulp is the section of the map that is to the southwest.
The location for this just above the The Clank demi dungeon in the Gulp. You will need a form that can swim. The Turtle, Mermaid or Ghost forms can get you across.
Swim across the water and enter the stair case in the middle. Follow the underground path to the left and take the exit at the top.
You’ll come out to small area with a lot of enemies. Kill all of the enemies and the treasure will be dropped upon killing the last enemy.
I’m talkin journalism, baby!
Do some journalism
Go to the eastern side of the map and enter the house to below the Witch Queen Catacombs Legendary Dungeon to the left and speak with the NPC inside. You’ll be given a quest to conduct an interview. The mission is called “15 Minutes of Fame.”
Leave and head to the New Old Town. From the fast travel point, enter the house to the right above the fast travel point. Speak to the NPC inside to interview him. It does not matter what answers you choose for the interview.
After that, exit and return to the reporter that gave you the quest. Speak to them and then this will pop after the conversation.
The Light Expanse
Completely light the Dark Expanse
On the northern side of the map is a tunnel that is very dark when you enter. There are fires that light your way, but not all of them are lit. All you have to do here is go through and light all of the fires.
The ones that are not lit are encased in rock. You’ll notice big rocks with a green hue and a health bar. Just attack those until the health bar is empty and the fire will then be lit.
There are a lot of enemies in here, so you’ll have to deal with them along your way. The darkness can damage you as well. Make sure to stay within the light and use ranged attacks to lit fires that are out of reach.
If you die in here, don’t worry. Whatever fires you lit will stay lit when you come back. The green icons on the image below are all of the fires that need to be lit.
You can go here beforehand, but a mission for the Knights Guild will actually take you through here.
What does “#@$%&!” mean?
Learn the language of dolphins
This is obtained by completing a side mission later in the game. The location is the upper right side of the map.
You will come to Stonefish Village while following the story. While there, you’ll notice a female NPC with a ! above her head standing near water where a dolphin can be seen.
Speak to her and accept her mission. She’ll task you with interacting with other dolphins across the northeastern side of the map. These are not hidden or difficult to find. They will appear as ! on your map when you get near them.
When you do find them, interact with them and you’ll learn a little bit of their language. There are five dolphins in total to find.
After you’ve interacted with all five of the dolphins, return the NPC in Stonefish Village to turn this mission in which earn you this Trophy/Achievement.
A world so nice I saved it twice
Defeat the Calamity in NG+
As previously mentioned in the intro, you should complete everything in the game and all Trophy/Achievements before starting a NG+ playthrough.
There are three fundamental differences when it comes to NG+.
- Stars are only obtained by beating dungeons.
- Enemy levels will scale to match yours.
- Dungeon modifiers are different than in your first playthrough.
If you’ve completed everything on your first playthrough, you can just go from dungeon to dungeon collecting Stars. You will not have to do anything else.
Some of the dungeon modifiers can be tough, but none of them are impossible. Just make sure to load out whatever forms you choose to use with the proper counter abilities and Passives.
Can you add a difficulty and time to complete rating for this, please? Thanks
added!
Thank you so much!
