This can be a real tricky one.
The goal is to complete 11 requirements which are the following;
- Slay one of every type of foe.
- Collect every piece of equipment
- Find every altar and Shrine
- Read every Herm
- Mastered all God's aspects
- Learn the ways of your four patron Gods
- Completed every constellation
- Master the path of Athena, represented by the constellation Parthenos
- Master the path of Apollo, represented by the constellation Helios
- Master the Path of Hermes, represented by the constellation Zephyrus
- Master the path of Ares, represented by the constellation of Deimos
So basically you need to do everything possible in the game!
Note:
In the game you're only able to do 2 of the "Master the path of ......" Therefore once you fully complete 2 of "Master the path of..." the other 2 will unlock on it's own. The following guide will explain this closer.
Note II:
You can only visit each area once. once you chose to leave on the Argo, make sure you've done all that you can.
Note III:
2nd time you are in Iolcus, inside the castle you will come to a point where you have enemies endlessly spawned by summoners, so as long as the summoners are still alive, more enemies will be spawned. This is very helpful if you still are missing some events like "Knock down 30 enemies".
Note IV:
I havent' tried it out myself, but check the comments for a tip to kill Tartarus Fiends, check out Mr Hanalore's 2nd comment! Thanks, Mr Hanalore.!
Before I link to the best walkthrough out there (NOT written by me, but the poster him or herself in the link), I recommend you to keep reading the entire post.
This guide is very thorough, and extremely helpful with no disrupting side comments nor too short sentences. It may be a bit spoiler-ee at one point where you fight a boss at Saria, but the visual says more then words IMO in the situation, but otherwise a very good guide:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11...
(Important note about the guide: if your'e blindly following the guide (rushing through just to get this achievement in other words), I noticed the guide did not flat out tell you to check a Hermes shrine when you eat a fruit at Saria, but it does mention the shrine, remember to check it!)
Now that guide should almost guarantee you this achievement.
One thing I was very unlucky with, was the one of the few bigger faults of the game (faults or to make you work for you achievements, I don't want to say for sure) But the saving is not to be trusted in this game.
I have finished the game 1 time for fun, I played it a 2nd time thoroughly and did everything, but It did not record the herms and shrines/alters I visited. So when you do plan to play the game for this perticular achievement, make sure to set enough time so that you can safely finish a bigger event in the game, and save RIGHT after a big event. (This may also affect people you've talked to as well.)
I have a friend who I helped, and she managed to safely get this achievement without any trouble at all. I recommended her to finish one island at a time, but she didn't listen to that as it would be hard for a first time player! xD
But a 2nd time player it shouldn't be a problem, I used only a couple of hours on each (larger) location. But she saved after bigger events where she saw the autosave save and you start "fresh".
~|------|~
If you're interested in getting all of the achievements in one play through, then follow this mini guide (this has been successful with my friend, so if it doesn't work for you, then you sadly missed something =[ )
First of, use the guide that I linked you. That will ensure you all of the achievements, except for 5.
3 are the difficulty levels, and 2 are upgrading Ares and Hermes aspects.
What you need to do is right from the start (once you can move) is to go to menu > options and switch difficulty to Legend.
Don't be scared, it's very doable, but remember to never touch it throughout the game!! Very important, you need to complete the game with this setting!
You will get the following achievements for this: Human, Hero & Legend.
The 2nd thing you need to do is play though much of the game without doing any aspect upgrades (this will make more sense once you know what all this means). My friend who followed the linked guide was on Kythra when she had enough "Deeds" to dedicate to complete maximum favor to 1 God.
The deal is that you need to "buy" all 25 aspects of each God, but you will only get enough for 2 gods by the time you've finished the game.
To save you a 2nd playthrough, once you have enough "deeds" to dedicate to get maximum favor to one God.
(You can check if you have enough for maximum favor with 1 God by saving (at a safe point in the game, make sure it's after a major event so that no alters/herms or even conversation is lost when reloading a saved game! I can't stress this enough! T.T) and dedicate all your deeds to one God. Of course remember to reload the save you just made so that all your deeds remains unused!)
Finally, once you have enough Deeds to gain maximum favor with 1 God, save the game, (and again at a safe point because you need to reload this save file 4 times) dedicate all your deeds to one God to get all 25 Aspects. Make sure the achievement for that God pops up, do not save, just reload your newly saved game, and do the same to the next God until you've done all 4 maximum favor achievements. Again, do not save but reload the newly saved game one last time, and now follow the guide that tells you to only upgrade Apollo and Athena.
Yes, that means when the guide says "give Athena some upgrades" etc, ignore it until you got the following 4 achievements;
Bright-Eyed, Sun-Blessed, Silver-Tongued, Stout-Hearted.
That's about it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, on here everyday. =3

Edit: Why not make a long solution even longer? 8D Don't worry! I made a list for someone to cross refrence themselves, not making a complicated achievment even more complicated ;D
There are some **SPOILERS** in the names, so proceed at your risk.
Ok, I loaded my last save, and it's at the very end of the game where Jasons 2 teammates freezes and you're on your own fighting in "The great hall".
At this point I have everything on my stars map in the colour blue and completed. I have a few constilations that are incomplete but yet blue! The following are those constilations;

A final note, in some constilations (it's too long ago since I played it to remember which) I have done a little more what is needed to get a constilation blue, so you don't nessecary need to have done as much as I have to get it to shine blue, BUT I don't think I overdid it either. I just know with only missing these listed above, I got this evil achievment! XD |
