How to unlock the No stone unturned achievement

    Video of glitch fix/secret exploit.


    There is some misconception surrounding this achievement. This achievement only applies to the SECRET areas (aka false walls that you can enter) in the game. According to the TA tracker, there are 43 of these in total. This makes sense because I unlocked the 50% achievement after 21 secret areas had registered.

    Key points:

    1. You only have to enter each secret area to get credit. If there's a collectible item like an energy ball or something inside you don't have to get the item for it to register.

    2. SAVE before you enter each secret area! If it doesn't register, reset your XB1 and reload a save prior to getting the secret area. You can only know for sure if it registered if your achievement % increases, so this is easiest for those on a fresh gamertag with the app snapped.

    3. There are 43 of these secret areas. Some ARE inside the dungeons, so they ARE missible, which will lock you out of the achievement.

    4. There is currently an exploit to get extra credit for a secret area. Credit to WhiterValkyrie and to Krazie X360A for expanding on it. Video of this demonstrated is above.


    1) Create a backup save (Don't think it matters when or where)
    2) Find an undiscovered hidden area, enter it and create a soul link
    3) Exit game, load backup save
    4) Create a new soul link on the backup file somewhere
    5) Exit game, load main save (should get credit for another secret)
    6) Rekindle the soul link on the main save
    7) Exit game, load main save, rekindle soul link again.
    8) Repat step 7 until it unlocks. The video shows the old way of going back and forth between main and backup, but you only have to do that the first time. After that just reloading the main save and rekindling should work. If it doesn't, try going back and forth between the two saves and rekindling.

    Sucram HI was at 78 percent. Started another playthrough , found an undiscovered secret about halfway through, created a soul link, rekindled, exit, reload, rekindle, repeat. Easy

    RileymeshI can confirm this glitch still works Feb 2023. Took a bit of time to register and I had to do it a couple of extra times for the final 3%, but it popped eventually

    l BlackBrian7 lI just started this game, and after 5 secrets, the one secret ach hadn't unlocked and I had no progress on this one. Tried the glitch mentioned above and still no progress. Tried a hard reset and finally they started counting, but stopped again after about 2 minutes. Fixed again after restarting the game. Decided to pop all them now to be safe. Thanks for this! Hope none of the other achievements progress randomly stop counting too.

    All 43 Secret areas.

    The ones in Ginso Tree, Misty Woods and Forlorn Ruins are all missable.

    The areas are shown in the order they can be obtained in the game, however some were missed first time round, hense the amount of life/energy cells not being consistent.

    There are reports of the tracker glitching. If this happens to you, check out LifeExpectancy's guide for a possible fix.

    Secrets only refer to the areas that are hidden behind the walls that become invisible once you walk up to them. You don't have to pick up the items that are inside to get credit.

    Snap your achievement app and look if you get credit for the secret you are entering. If not, reload the game and enter it until you do.

    If you already have some untracked secrets and don't know which ones you missed, LifeExpectancy has a great solution for this problem in his guide.
