Rubinite 100% Achievements Guide: Secret Achievement Unlock

Rubinite rewards exploration as much as it does boss fights. Most achievements unlock as you progress through the story, but the game also hides many optional achievements behind boss mechanics, secret areas, and easy-to-miss choices.

However, the game allows you to collect the achievements anytime that you’ve missed earlier in the game but knowing where they are can save you a lot of backtracking.

This guide lists all Rubinite achievements in the chronlogical order. I have mentioned the story achievements first and then you’ll fine the missable ones.

Rubinite Achievements Overview

Most players usually unlock all the 24 story achievements during a regular playthrough. The remaining achievements are unlocked by completing optional objectives, boss challenges, hidden secrets, and collectibles.

Rubinite Story Achievements

These achievements are tied directly to the main story on Normal difficulty. As long as you keep moving forward, you’ll unlock nearly all of them naturally.

Wake Up From a Nightmare

You will unlock your first achievement as soon as the game will start. Finish the opening sequence and wake from the nightmare.

There’s nothing special you need to do here.

Defeated the Beast

The Beast is the first major boss in Rubinite.

Win this fight to continue the story. The achievement unlocks right after the battle.

Repelled the Guardian

The Guardian is next required boss that you have to defeat to unlock this achievement.

Once you defeat him, keep exploring the monastery and the story achievement will unlock.

Choose Your Path:

After defeating the Guardian, the story will divide into two routes.

You can travel:

• North toward the Priest route
• South toward the Grave Keeper route

The order doesn’t matter since you’ll clear both paths before the story progresses.

The northern route is generally easier, so that’s the order I have used in this guide.

Defeated the Dual Cultists

Head north until you get to the arena where the Dual Cultists is waiting for you.

Win this fight and unlock the achievement.

Defeated the Martyred Angel

Continue on the northern route after defeating the Dual Cultists.

Now you’ll have to defeat the the Martyred Angel to earn the achievement.

Defeated the Grave Keeper

Return to the southern route once you’ve completed the northern section.

The Grave Keeper can be frustrating because its several attacks have larger hitboxes than they seem. Be patient instead of rushing for damage when it starts swinging.

The achievement will unlocks once you defeat the Grave Keeper.

Defeated the Plague Bearer

Keep moving deeper into the southern area until you reach the Plague Bearer.

This boss likes to split and attack you from multiple directions, but regular sword attacks usually work better than relying heavily on Focus Strikes.

Defeat it to earn the achievement.

Defeated Faye

Now you have to rematch against Faye.

Once you win this fight, it will open the large gates for the next part of the game.

Defeat the Ghost

Now Grant is your next opponent.

You may find his invisibility power challenging at first, but one Focus Mark is enough to track his position while he disappears.

The Thorns Charm also helps by dealing damage to his armor whenever he touches it.

Defeat Grant to unlock the achievement.

Defeated Roy

Many players find it one of the most cleaner boss fights in Rubinite.

Most of Roy’s attacks have clear animations before they happen. So make sure to learn those tells rather than attacking all the time.

Defeated the Witch

Your next opponent is Alcina.

She has several dangerous attacks, but once you learn her patterns, the fight will become much easier.

Beat Alcina to unlock the achievement.

Maybe the End

After defeating Alcina, watch the ending and let the credits roll.

The achievement unlocks once the credits finish.

Escape the Illusion

Load your completed save after the credits.

You’ll return before the ending and gain access to the real world, which will unlock this achievement.

True Difficulty

You’ll face the Beast one more time after escaping the illusion.

Defeat it again to earn this achievement.

First Encounter?

Keep going through the real-world storyline until you meet Mira after the first Faye encounter.

Talking to her unlocks the achievement automatically.

Someone Else’s Past

Later in the story, you’ll fight Grant again.

After the battle, Mira will open the final hidden room.

Walk inside and interact with the Swan to unlock this achievement.

Defeated the Red-Eyed Tree

After the previous achievement, Mira will open the path to this boss right.

Enter the new area, defeat the Red-Eyed Tree, and the achievement is all yours.

Defeated… Myself?

Beat Roy again during the real-world storyline.

After the battle, you’ll have to enter his mind and defeat your shadow.

The achievement will unlock after you win this second fight.

Remove the Curse

This achievement will also unlocks if you have defeated your shadow.

There’s is no extra steps required.

Defeated the Puppeteer

You’ll meet the Puppeteer shortly before the final battle against Alcina.

Win the fight to unlock the achievement.

Obtain the Legendary Rubinite

Continue the story after defeating the Puppeteer.

You’ll receive the Legendary Rubinite almost immediately afterward which will unlock another story achievement.

Leave the Rest to Me!

Before the final battle, talk to Mira.

Choose the dialogue option where you promise everything will be fine. After doing that, particiapte the final fight against Alcina.

The achievement will unlock when you make that promise.

Save the Kingdom

Finish the game on any difficulty to earn this achievement.

RUBINITE

Complete the game on Normal difficulty.

This is the final story achievement and it will also end the main campaign.

Rubinite Missable Achievements

Most of Rubinite’s missable achievements rely on specific boss mechanics or optional interactions. The good news is that almost all of them can still be earned by replaying boss fights or exploring unfinished areas later. Even so, it’s much faster to grab them the first time you encounter each boss.

Amulets? Pffft. Forget Them

You earn this achievement by defeating a boss without equipping any talisman.

The easiest time to do this is during one of the opening fights, such as:

• The Beast
• The first Faye battle

You can win these matches with a little or no equipment. So removing your talisman will not make any negative effect on these matches.

True Hunter

Defeat any boss without taking damage.

The first Faye fight can be your best place to try for this achievement. I am saying this because her attacks are straightforward and you can easily remember them after a few attempts.

If you get hit even once, you’ll have to restart the fight and try again.

I’m Not Tasty at All!

You can unlock this during the Dual Cultists fight.

One of the cultists uses a grab attack that swallows your character. Instead of dodging it, let the grab connect once.

After escaping the attack, the achievement will pop up.

Bomb Disposal Expert

You can earn this achievement during the Grave Keeper fight.

After one of his spinning attacks, the boss throws several small blobs onto the area. Those blobs eventually grow into exploding bombs.

You’ll have to destroy every blob while it’s still small.

If even one bomb grows and explodes later, you’ll need to try again.

Alternate Method:

The Grave Keeper doesn’t always use this attack.

If you defeat him before he performs the bomb attack, no bombs will spawn, and the achievement unlocks automatically at the end of the fight.

Plague It Cool

This is one of the trickier achievements in the game.

During the Plague Bearer fight, the boss splits into multiple bodies.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Damage the boss until it splits for the first time.
• Ignore the smaller piece.
• Keep attacking the larger body.
• Force it to split a second time.
• Only keep fighting after three separate bodies are on the field.

If you kill the smaller form too early, you’ll miss the achievement and have to try again.

Out of Body

You can unlock this achievement during the battle against Grant.

Grant sometimes damages himself to remove his armor.

You must defeat him before he does that.

Stay aggressive throughout the fight and break his armor quickly so he never gets a chance to hurt himself.

Don’t Even Think About It

This achievement occurs during the second fight against Faye.

Throughout the battle, she’ll try several grab attacks.

You must parry every single grab she performs.

Even a successful parry will count, but dodging the grab will not.

If you even miss a single grab, the achievement will not unlock.

You can restart the fight if either of those happens.

The second phase is actually easier because Faye uses the grab attack less often.

You Dare Use My Own Weapons Against Me, Ruby?

You won’t unlock this immediately after defeating Roy.

First, pick up Roy’s Daggers and equip them from the Charms menu.

After that:

1. Return to the Monastery.
2. Pray at the shrine.
3. Enter Roy’s boss rematch.
4. Throw a few daggers at him.

You don’t have to win the fight.

Just landing attacks with Roy’s own daggers is enough to unlock the achievement.

Illuminate the Night

Players often miss this achievement because there’s no reminder to come back later.

After defeating Roy, return to the Monastery and light every candle you can find.

The achievement will unlock once all the candles are lit.

Missed It Already?

If you finish the game without lighting the candles, reload your completed save.

You will spawn before the final battles and will get a chance to light the candles before finishing the story again.

Fulfilling a Wish

This achievement becomes available when you’ve upgraded your every attack skill.

Once you unlock all attack upgrades, go downstairs and defeat the Penitent.

The achievement will unlocks after you kill the Penitent.

There You Are

This secret is just hidden before the Red-Eyed Tree boss.

Instead of entering the boss arena right away, go left until you reach what looks like a dead end in the wall.

There’s a hidden passage here.

Move through the invisible path in this order:

• Down
• Left
• Up
• Left
• Down
• Left

You’ll eventually find the hidden character and unlock the achievement.

You can also defeat the hidden NPC if you want.

Is It Really Missable?

Not permanently.

You can return after defeating the Red-Eyed Tree, as long as you don’t leave the area before searching for the hidden passage.

Collection Achievements

The last three achievements take longer than the others because they depend on exploration and progression rather than boss fights.

None of them are hard to find, but you’ll spend more time searching the Monastery, collecting Blood Dust, and cleaning up anything you missed before the ending.

Finder’s Keepers

You can unlock Finder’s Keepers after opening every chest hidden throughout the Monastery.

Some chests are in open spaces, while others are behind scenery or tucked in corners that are hard to find. If you explore carefully, you’ll usually hear an audio cue when you’re close to one, so make sure to check suspicious spots before leaving a room.

Below are all eight chest locations.

Main Room Chest

The first chest is in the Main Room.

Walk behind the large statue near the center. The statue has almost completely hide the chest and you can easily run past it without even noticing.

Once you know where to look, it’s one of the easiest collectibles to grab.

Side Hall Chest

You’ll find another chest inside the Side Hall.

This one isn’t hidden well. Check the hallway as you move through the area, and you should easily spot it.

Dining Hall Chest

Head into the Dining Hall.

Look beside the large dining table and move slightly upward from its right side.

The chest is out in the open, but many players focus on the center of the room and accidentally walk past it.

Library Chest

Travel to the Library next.

Instead of searching the bookshelves, check underneath the staircase.

The chest is tucked beneath the stairs and blends into the surroundings.

Courtyard Chest

The Courtyard has another hidden chest.

Go to the second pillar on the left side and search beside its base.

The pillar blocks your view from most angles, making this easy to overlook during normal exploration.

Mirror Room Chest

This is probably the cleverest hiding spot in the game.

When you enter the Mirror Room, look at the large mirror mounted on the wall.

The mirror will show the chest’s location.

Once you notice the reflection, head to the bottom-left corner of the room instead of searching near the mirror itself.

The chest will be there.

Abbot’s Office Chest

Visit the Abbot’s Office.

Unlike several earlier collectibles, this chest isn’t hidden behind scenery or secret walls.

Walk through the room and open it before leaving.

Sick Ward Chest

The final Monastery chest is inside the Sick Ward.

Search the beds until you find the chest nearby.

Open it to complete your collection.

Once you’ve looted all eight chests, the Finder’s Keepers achievement will unlock right away.

Talismans Connoisseur

This achievement requires you to collect every talisman in the game.

Most come from crafting, but a few are tied to story progression, so you can’t unlock them early.

To complete the collection:

• Repair every Broken Talisman through Wichiwi.
• Spend Blood Dust to craft every available talisman.
• Continue through the true ending route and collect the remaining story talismans.
• Don’t forget Roy’s Daggers, since they also count toward the collection.

Many players report that the achievement unlocks when they get the Pure Rubinite, provided every other talisman that has already been collected. If you’re missing even one crafted talisman before that point, you may have to repeat the process in another playthrough.

Fully Fledged

This is the last progression achievement you’ll earn in Rubinite.

After escaping the illusion, Ruby’s skill tree will change. Your health and potion upgrade will disappear and will be replaced with new damage-focused skills.

Spend enough Blood Dust to buy every upgrade in this new tree.

The achievement will unlock as soon as you purchase the final skill. Grinding extra Blood Dust is usually the longest part of this achievement, so don’t worry if it’s the last one on your list.

Can You Miss 100% Completion?

Not permanently.

Most Rubinite achievements can still be earned through boss rematches or by loading your completed save. The game will send you back before the final sequence, giving you another chance to finish optional objectives you missed earlier.

The only exception is that some collection-related achievements may not unlock properly if you wait until New Game+ to complete them. For example, several players have found that Talismans Connoisseur works more reliably when every talisman is collected during the same playthrough before getting the Pure Rubinite.
