Introduction ✔
● Difficulty level of achievements: Medium.
● Total achievements: 50 (100%)
● Offline achievements: 50. (100%)
● Online Achievements: 0.
● Estimated time to complete all achievements: 50+ hours.
● Minimum number of passes for 100%: 2+.
● Glitchy achievements: None.
● Missable Achievements: Creator, Destroyer, All Fraction achievements.
● Achievements with difficulty levels: None.
● Required DLCs for 100% achievements: None.

Most part of achievements are quite easy to get and they don`t need any hard ways to unlock it, but they require a lot of time grinding — Kill X enemies, upgrade all skills, collect X money or items and etc.

A lot of achievements reffer to the same achievements in the original game, so If you've already played it, then you know what you're up against. Thank god they removed the achievement for which you need to play the game for 80 hours.

Please pay attention to such achievements as Creator and Destroyer cause they contradict each other. Read more info about both of the right below, cause they determine your playthrough till the end of the game and can be missed.

Fraction achievenets are missable too, cause in original Elex game you had no opportunity to leave fraction after joining it.

I will look forward the way to get these achievements in one playthrough (with save before making choice, loading and making another choice or smth like that), but until that moment these achievements are MISSABLE
Destruction achievements ✔


Picture
Achievement
Description
1.
Creator
Destruction is below 10.                                                                                            
2.
Destroyer
Destruction is over 90.                                                                                             

So, Destruction is an analogue of Cold from the original game: the Destruction level of your character depend the ending of the game and opens some new answers in the dialogues.

Destruction level decreases only by choosing more humane (kind) options in the dialogues between the hero and the characters and increases: by choosing more pragmatic (prudent, evil) options in dialogues, as well as by using certain foods and potions.

In this case, a corresponding message is displayed.



The main difficulty and inconvenience of this system is that it is not always obvious from the descriptions of the dialogue options how it will affect the Destruction level.

That`s why I advice you to save your game before every dialogue and load game if you made the wrong choice — unless you want to get these achievements quickly.

Decide which way of playthrough to choose and decrease/increase your Destruction level until you get these two achievements.

You can receive this quest at any time when a radio is playing nearby and you hear an announcement about the concert in question. Once you track it, you can see the theatre is just north of Bastion. Head to the yellow marker to watch the concert and unlock the achievement. You can use your jetpack to easily get up the side of the waterfalls if you're coming from Bastion, and you can get this achievement even if you haven't picked up the quest from a radio as well. Just head to the marked location below.

Lover
"Old Love Doesn't Rust" completed.

Old Love Doesn't Rust is the romance quest for Caja. You must first recruit her during the beginning of the game, then complete her companion quests under Securing the Land whenever they become available to receive this quest, which will trigger directly at the beginning of Chapter 3. You must ensure your relationship with her is good. She prioritizes good behavior, so don't choose rude dialogue options and solve quests through speech over combat when possible.

Best Buddy
C.R.O.N.Y. U4 found.

CRONY U4 is a mechanical drone companion that can be obtained right away when the game starts. You simply need to head to the marked location below and speak with it to recruit it. I'd highly suggest doing this right away to make combat easier, especially on higher difficulties.

Pass A38
Raik forgoes his salary to benefit the Cultivators.

This achievement takes place during the Thorhild's Cultivators quest, which is a submission of The Berserker's Trust. During this quest, you have a number of options to end the quest and gain Thorhild's trust, but you must extend the quest as long as possible to get the outcome where you scare Raik off and gain his salary to distribute among the rest of the Cultivators.



Make sure you don't choose to beat up Butch, and don't give Thorhild the extra money yourself so you can pursue the Raik options.

Detective
"Hitch and the Three Investigators" completed.

This achievement takes place in The Fort. You will find three children to interact with, and you'll need to help each of them with their "investigations" as well as making the proper choices toward the end of the quest to unlock the achievement. If you choose to lie to Justin or take credit for the kids' work, the quest will cancel and the achievement will be unavailable.

Toy Time
"Smuggling Toys" completed.

Once you reach the Depot, the home of the Albs, you'll want to find the school building run by Alzea. Here you will find a child named Makar. During your conversation with him, be nice and when the option arises, mention that children outside like to play with toys. He'll have a few more things to say, then tell you he needs to study. You won't get any quest notification, but this is the first step to unlocking the quest in question.

Go do some other quests and return to Makar a bit later and he will ask you to go get a toy from the children at The Fort, starting the quest for real. Head to the Fort, bring the toy back, and unlock the achievement.

Fraction achievements ✔


These achievements can be unlocked by joining factions or being on your own.
This videoguide can tell you more about factions, their methods and goals in Elex II.

15.
Berserker
Joined the Berserkers.

During Chapter 1 you will be tasked with meeting the leaders of the three factions and it is suggested you should join one of them. However, if you're going for the full completion and only want one playthrough, be sure to read the Road Map thoroughly as you don't want to commit to any faction at this time. However, you can go ahead and do all the pre-work required to join them (The Berserker's Trust), and simply save prior to join and get the achievement, then reload your save to continue on. You'll need to have a favorable Destruction value to join them.

IMPORTANT: When working through the "pre-work" section to join the Berserkers, make sure to give the stolen ring to Yasme and lie to Wulf about the location of the Claw hideout. If you do not do this, you will lock yourself out of joining the Outlaws later to unlock.

16.
Cleric
Joined the Clerics.

Head northwest from the Bastion. At the entrance to the Castle, you’ll meet a woman named Alex. She’s wearing gear that she scavenged, but she’ll be glad to offer you a tour. Follow her around the base and, if she asks whether you’re a believer or not, answer in the affirmative.

Shortly thereafter, you’ll listen to a full sermon. After that, Alex will take you to the headquarters where Commander Hagen is.



Talk to Hagen and ask if you could join. Unfortunately, it’s not going to be that easy. Hagen will only accept you if you’re able to infiltrate the Albs, another faction that’s diametrically opposed to the Clerics due to their use of Elex. Hagen wants you to join the ranks of the Albs, at least until you’ve reached Trooper rank.



Likewise, you’ll find Reinhold here. Although he’s more receptive to your desire to join the Clerics faction in ELEX 2, he still wants you to go through Hagen. With that, your only option, for now, is to find the Albs headquarters and complete some of the faction’s quests.

17.
Outlaw
Joined the Outlaws.

You will need to work with the Claws behind Rat's back to work toward joining the Outlaws. Be sure to read the warning in the Berserker solution, as doing some of the pre-work required to join the Berserkers can permanently lock you out of the Outlaws if you make the wrong choices during those quests. You'll need to play both sides at once to do this properly. Work your way up in the Berserkers to get the Paladin rank, which requires your character to be Level 30. From there, begin the final mission where can betray the Berserkers and join the Outlaws.

Achievement
Description
18.
Alb
Joined the Albs.

Head north from the Bastion and you’ll reach an abandoned town. Beyond that is a massive facility. As you approach the sloping path, a soldier named Radyk will accost you.

To join them, you'll need to complete two fairly simple quests: Tracking With the Albs and An Alb Agent. You can either head to the Depot on your own to start these, or be led there by Skibor, who you will meet in the Crater. This faction is fairly easy to join, but does require a Destruction level somewhat neutral to high. If you are too good, you won't be able to join.




Picture
Achievement
Description
19.
Morkon
Joined the Morkons.

You will need to complete the Morkon Values quest, and have a neutral to high Destruction value to join them. If you are too good the option will be unavailable. This is the one faction in the game that is a complete outsider, so you don't need to worry about working through their ranks or anything else. You can save prior to joining, get the achievement and reload, then forget about them forever if you'd like.

Achievement

20.
Defector
Decided not to join a faction.

Shortly into Chapter 3, you will be able to complete the quest "Partner of the 6th Power" which officially locks you into a faction. If you had joined a faction at this point, you'd be officially stuck with them, even if it was one of the two that have sub-factions you can switch to.

However, when having the discussion with Adam during this quest, if you have not joined a faction yet, you can choose the proper dialogue choices to tell him so (they are super obvious) and you will then lock yourself into playing the rest of the game without a faction affiliation, unlocking this achievevement in the process.

From there, so long as you've unlocked the achievements for the factions as outlined above, you can reload if you'd like and actually choose a faction to ally with and get the benefits of their skill tree.

26.
Fire in the Hole
10 kills by hand grenade.

Grenades can be used without any special attribute or skill, so as soon as you find some you can begin working on this. They do about 300 damage, so you'll need to be facing some of the weaker creatures in the game to get one-hit kills, or be sure to weaken an enemy with regular attacks before throwing the grenade.

Dismiss your companions cause they will kill weak enemies before you can get kill with grenades.
Skills achievements ✔


These achievements can be unlocked by learnings perks from skill trees and getting hero levels.

27.
Hotshot
All combat skills learned.

To fully upgrade all the combat skills, you will need the following attributes raised:
  • Strength: 75
  • Dexterity: 75
  • Intelligence: 50
  • Constitution: 40
Once you have all those to the proper levels, you will then need to find the proper skill trainers and purchase the corresponding skills.

  • Intelligence: 40
  • Constitution: 85
  • Cunning: 70
Once you have all those to the proper levels, you will then need to find the proper skill trainers and purchase the corresponding skills.

Self-Sufficient

  • Strength: 70
  • Dexterity: 85
  • Intelligence: 55
  • Constitution: 50
  • Cunning: 55
Once you have all those to the proper levels, you will then need to find the proper skill trainers and purchase the corresponding skills.

Idealist
All character skills learned.

To fully upgrade all the personality skills (which is what it's called in-game, not "character" skills), you will need the following attributes raised:
  • Intelligence: 60
  • Cunning: 65
Once you have all those to the proper levels, you will then need to find the proper skill trainers and purchase the corresponding skills.

Upgrading attribute points becomes more costly the higher an attribute goes. You start out with 10 in every category, and from 11-40, each AP increases an attribute by one. From 41-66, it takes 2 AP to raise an attribute by one. From 67-100 it takes 5 AP to increase an attribute by one. Because of this increasing cost, it's important to save any items that permanently increase your attributes until you have increased it on your own to 66. From there, you'll save yourself at minimum 3 AP by using an item instead of purchasing the increase with AP.

You'll also want to make sure as you're increasing your skills, you don't equip any items (Specializations, Modifiers, or Fancy Glasses) that increase an attribute until you hit 66, then equip them to maximize their effectiveness at that point. Something with a +10 bonus will allow you to bypass actually upgrading that attribute, saving essentially 50 AP and allowing you to spend those points on something without a corresponding item. It appears that there are Specializations and Modifiers for Strength/Dexterity, and the Fancy Glasses can increase Intelligence/Cunning, but that's it.

Free as a Bird
All Jetpack skills learned.

There is a Jetpack crafting bench in your home at the Bastion, near the wall where the map puzzle goes. You will need an Intelligence level of 55 to unlock all the skills, and you will also need to find 50 Fuel upgrades to fully upgrade the jetpack. These can be found scattered around the world, but you'll mostly get them from vendors. These do get restocked, so check every shop you come to and purchase any fuel tanks you can as you play through the game. Once you purchase every skill and apply all the fuel upgrades at the same time, the achievement will unlock.

Miscellaneous achievements [Part 1] ✔


Here you can find all collectible, miscellaneous, exploration and some other achievements that require from player to repeat some actions many times.

Achievement
Description
33.
Pack Rat
Collected 100,000 items

The description of this achievement sounds scary, but in fact, almost every item in the game is picked up individually. This achievement also has a Steam counter, so you'll always know how much items you have left to pick. Also there is no weight limit or space capacity to your inventory, so be sure to loot anything and everything you see.

Drinker

Simply drink any potions.

35.
Entrepreneur
1,000 elexit shards received.
36.
Banker
10,000 elexit shards received.
37.
Treasurer
50,000 elexit shards received.

Elexit — the game's currency. For this achievement, you must collect 50k of elexit by either looting it from corpses, finding it in chests/safes/etc, or redeeming the "bag of elexit" collectibles.

Unfortunately, selling items doesn't count which is where you'd make the most of your money. Fortunately, the same save/reload trick for all the other repeat achievements does work, so you can for instance purchase or find a large number of the "bag" collectibles, and save your game.

Now redeem all of them from your inventory so the tracker goes up, then reload your save and repeat until you hit 50k.

There are around 40 total merchants in the game, mostly housed inside each of the game's faction bases. Speak to each of the merchants at least once to get credit for "finding" them.

Computer Scientist
30 successful hacks.

Hacking requires 15 Intelligence and 15 Cunning to unlock. This will allow you to hack Good locks, and increasing those stats and upgrading the skill will allow you to hack Safety locks. However, as with the lockpicking achievement, you can simply save in front of a safe and hack it, reload your save, and then simply type in the code you learned. Safes are not randomized just like the chests, so this will go extremely quickly from there. In fact, if you check a guide online and know the safe code up front, you don't even need to do the hacking mini-game even once.

The hacking mini-game, in case you do need to use it, is completed by solving a bit of a math problem. Start the hacking process and you'll need a few blanks with the greater than (>) and less than (<) signs. Choose numbers that fit the pattern, such as 9>4<6>0 and if you got any numbers correct, they will turn green and stay in place. The remaining numbers will be wiped and you'll get to try again. You get four tries before it kicks you out and you have to start fresh.

Achievement

Key Master
100 locks picked.

Lockpicking requires a minimum of 15 Intelligence and 15 Dexterity to unlock. This will allow you to unlock Easy ranked chests, and you'll need higher INT/DEX to get the upgrade to do Medium/Hard chests. However, you can get this with just a single chest by saving in front of it, unlocking it, reloading your save, and repeating 99 more times.

To successfully pick a lock, you need to move the pick to the right and find a pin that stays in the up position. From there, move left or right to see if a pin to the side also stays up. Then, move left or right of that two-stack to see which pin to the sides will stay up from there. It will take some trial and error, but eventually you'll find the correct pattern. The nice thing about the save/reload trick is that the locks are not randomized, so the pattern will remain the same each time you do it.

Weaponsmith
Made a weapon 20 times.

Build Weapons is a Crafting skill that requires a minimum of 10 Strength and 10 Constitution to purchase. This will allow you to combine multiple damaged weapons into one finished weapon (usually at a 3:1 ratio for basic weapons). Be sure to loot every weapon from defeated enemies so you can do this more quickly. Find any anvil to use this ability. As always, you can save prior to crafting if you don't have enough weapons to combine for 20 total right away, and reload to repeat the process until it unlocks.

Achievement

44.
Alchemist
30 potions brewed.

Chemistry is a Survival skill that you can purchase with a minimum of 25 Intelligence and 15 Dexterity. This will allow you to create basic potions at a Lab Bench (easiest one to find is in the Bastion, near Adam). You'll need to have the proper ingredients, and higher ranks of the skill will allow more powerful potions, including ones to create attribute and Elex potions. However, you can simply create 30 basic healing potions to unlock this achievement. If you don't have enough ingredients for all 30, save prior to making them and reload to repeat the process until it unlocks.

in elex 2 drinking stat potions doesn't increase destruction. if you want to just get the destroyer achiev you can check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcQbqdCvIH8
PCMaker 30 Mar @ 4:15pm 
hey, i played elex 1, does the destruction mechanic work the same as cold? i mean in original elex i was scared af to use +skill potions because they increased ur cold, only to find out that the way to use those potions was to lower ur cold to a minimum lvl and then use potions each time u were given an opportunity to decrease ur cold, so u could take advantage of the potions while using all those potions and ultimately become a terminator, so can i use the same approach with destruction? -> i will choose -destrution options and then i will use items to increase it whenever i need it for the achievements and such (so i dont have to replay this game)
Scream 16 Apr, 2023 @ 10:56am 
To get the Alchemist achievement, you have to brew normal potions like heal potions. Brewing permanent potions like the "Dexterity + 1" doesn't work.

Destruction level can be increased by killing animals, gurads and non-quest related NPCs, for example, ones called "Berserker" in Fort or "Morkon" in Carakis.
lividman 28 Mar, 2022 @ 9:29am 
Great guide but I think the skill system works different than how you described it (and how it worked in the old PB games). Skill levels earned from potions, bonusses etc are separated from "learned" skill levels. This way you don't have to save all the potions for later but can drink them right away. The AP costs only apply to the "learned" skill points.

Also the costs are different:
level 11-30: 1 AP
level 31-60: 2 AP
> level 60: 5 AP
