    This can be boosted very easily in exhibition match with a friend.

    The easiest way to match with a friend is as follows.

    Ensure you are not in a party.
    Select exhibition match.
    Select host match.
    Select your friend to join the party it prompts you to make.

    Get your pal to play possum.

    The current character list is:

    Glacius
    Jago
    Orchid
    Saberwulf
    Sadira
    Thunder

    Update: A number of people have reported this as buggy and based on the comments and messages I have received here and Xbox Live there are 2 possible solutions as follows:

    1 - Follow my solution but make sure you win all 6 fights consecutively in 1 sitting with a friend. (This is what I did before knowing it was glitchy and some people have reported this working for them).

    2 - Do this on ranked Xbox Live (Which I do not really see as a solution at all given how horrible I am online, but people have told me it works so I thought I would include it).

    Update 2 - Credit to KiDLUCiF3R for this info

    It is believed the glitch occurs if accepting the game invite from the Xbox dash rather than the game main menu.

    When tested, it seemed the person accepting the invite must be past the "checking for DLC" notice on the Killer Instinct main menu.

    Solution for a fix is currently unknown. Normal things such as clearing cache or re-downloading the game are more difficult to achieve on Xbox One. A factory reset of the console might work but has associated risks. Or signing in to a different console.

    GrumpySnyperMy friend and I tried this, with him joining the invite from in game. It wouldn't work for him, but it did for me. We are guessing it works for the host of the game and not the joining person?

    Ericmax69Also works in Crossplay on PC - again, each time I did it I made sure the PC player was in the main menu of the game before inviting, and had the Xbox app open in the background to be sure the invite got through

    tldr: Tired of trying to keep up with who you've done what with for achievements? Click my spreadsheet link below and start tracking it!

    This is not a specific guide but more so a checklist along with some tips for tackling this game as a whole. There are other excellent, very detailed guides for unlocking each specific achievement.

    Background
    When I decided to start Killer Instinct from scratch in early 2021 (began 3/26/21 and finished 6/21/21), I decided that I needed a way to guide and track my progress to completion in the most efficient way possible. With a base game of 94 achievements and 28 DLCs which is composed of 23 characters, a ranked MP DLC (League Title Update), a story mode (similar to MK's ladder system), an RPG type mode (Shadow Lords 1 & 2), and Shadow Mode (machine learning type bot simulator) that made up another 370 achievements, this game was going to take some time and coordination.

    Info
    I created a spreadsheet by exporting all of the Achievement Titles, Achievement Descriptions, and Gamerscore from TA. I added the following columns:

    • Order: to keep the initial achievement order
    • BASE/DLC: determines if the achievement was part of the base game or one of the DLCs
    • Release Date: for sorting purposes
    • Type: I created 23 "Types" of achievements in this game, most are repetitive across characters (i.e. win versus match with [insert character])
    • Character: let's you know which character the achievement applies to. There are 29 characters in total. Some achievements are assigned to "Any" meaning those do not apply to a specific character. Omen does not follow the normal DLC achievement path rather it has 5 random achievements tied to it.
    • Unlocked: put an "x" in the cell if you have unlocked it. This ties in with the Pivot tab where you refresh the pivot tables to show your percentage complete.
    If you decide to use the spreadsheet, start by deleting all of the x's in the Unlocked column on KI TA tab (not to be confused with the KI TA sortable tab which is used for sorting to your hearts desire without messing with your main tab). Once you start filling in "x" 's in the KI TA tab, you can refresh the Pivot tab to see your progress based on Type and/or Character.

    I hope this spreadsheet helps for anyone starting this beast of game that is quite fun. It was more time consuming than challenging but overall I really enjoyed it.

    Tips:
    • Complete the Shadow Mode achievements first as these have broken in the past and were unobtainable for a while before they patched it.
    • Find a hardcore, dedicated group to boost ranked achievements. Playing this game legit online will take a while and will be pretty tough!
    • Try to have fun with Shadow Lords Mode, once I understood how it worked (which just took playing it a while) it was a lot of fun!
    • Keep a second controller handy for some of the Fight Challenges. For example, blocks can be done easily by rubber banding your main controller to block while you perform a move with the second controller.
    • If you haven't already, read through the Walkthrough. It was well done up to the point before the writer quit updating it. For the rest, read through the guides and of course, the comments on the guides for good info.
    Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions to make the spreadsheet better.
