Comments on the guide for Overlord in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night by Mechsican

99 21 115

EDIT: 11-26-2019

As of today The patch to fix this achievement is live!

As soon as I loaded up my save during the loading process it popped.

_________________

As noted by FrogTheWarrior & TVthePunisher below if you went into this update prior to having all achievements except this one and you unlock your second to last it will not unlock right away.

Upon unlocking your second to last achievement save your game and exit to the main menu and then reload your save. Both users report it unlocking then.

What do you think the odds are that the game tracks this internally (rather than just looking at your achievements) and this patch just reset progress. So if you had 42 achievements before patch, got 2 after, now it thinks you only have 2 of 44 to unlock it.

I sure as hell hope not because my ass is not going to go in craft/find everything again. If this doesn't get patched I'll do another 100% run in a couple months and enjoy it all over again. I'm glad I backed this game but I have already played this too much over the last week.

Posted by Mechsican on 28 Jun 19 at 06:56

My file already has Play Time 41:10:40. I kind of just want to be done until the new DLCs come out.

Posted by fallouthirteen on 28 Jun 19 at 07:21

The new BFA achievement.

Posted by FireRaiser1985 on 28 Jun 19 at 09:01

Yeah, I'm ticked about this.

Report this bug here, I have submitted the form about this bug.

I really love this game but if this achievement is never fixed I’ll be really pissed about it. And normally I don’t care about that kinda stuff.

Posted by ATCS on 29 Jun 19 at 15:33

I love when studios cant be bothered to remove these stupid ps4 trophy achievements and then they end up glitching.

Posted by Hairy Cabbage on 29 Jun 19 at 22:18

well damn i was looking to 100% this just like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night back in the day to bad 🙄 still good game just like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was back in the day and still is 😏

Posted by CRAZY BIG JJ on 29 Jun 19 at 23:48

Yeah, no unlock for me either.

Posted by robthehermit on 30 Jun 19 at 00:05

I created a post on the dev forums. Within an hour someone, presumably not a dev, tries to tell me Overlord is exclusive to Sony and their Platinum trophy. I'll remain cordial, but in the meantime the more supporting replies the post gets, the better.

Search the forums for topic "Overlord".

Posted by PNibbles on 30 Jun 19 at 03:51

Lol. "Exclusive to Sony and their Platinum trophy".

Posted by FireRaiser1985 on 30 Jun 19 at 13:03

PNibbles, this is BS, no respect for the Xbox players. That's bad.

Posted by Stark Marine on 01 Jul 19 at 14:15

Pnibbles there are literal idiots in charge of their "Community" at the moment, over on Reddit the official guy from 505 games kept arguing with people and telling everyone that the last patch that was 7gbs in size was just a localization patch and would not introduce the game breaking open/closed Green chest bugs. Of course it wasn't just a localization patch but indeed the game breaking one. He ate some crow the next day but everything around this game outside of the actual game itself is pretty much a disaster. I'll see what the next patch breaks that fixes this one.

Posted by Bsmittel on 01 Jul 19 at 17:49

Bsmittel, I wish I could say I'm surprised by your story but sadly I'm not. It's not hard to imagine that someone disconnected from the development and feature delivery process is hired as a community manager. Sounds obvious that it's a bad idea, but here we are. I see similar things in my own line of software development.

I think it's a good call to just wait for the next patch with crossed fingers. BTW, my post on the forums is simply gone. I have no DMs either nor any explanation. Real winners running that show...

Posted by PNibbles on 02 Jul 19 at 22:59

I still see your post, was it this?

"Xbox One, the Overlord achievement did not unlock. I've unlocked every other achievement, with the last one being 100% map during the final boss fight. "

Posted by Michel on 03 Jul 19 at 11:38

Anyone know if the devs/505 games are aware of this yet?

Also, the phrasing from the above submission sounds like it's just a personal bug, but we are all affected. It is unobtainable for everyone. Have to be clear that it is unobtainable for everyone or they won't make it a priority to fix it over the other submitted bugs.

The unlock percentage of all gamers on Xbox Live is 0.00% meaning no one can unlock it. If even one person unlocks it, it will show 0.01%.

Posted by TruthfulSkate8 on 04 Jul 19 at 09:47

It's definitely glitched for everyone. I think the devs are aware about this but I don't think they prioritize it. They probably focus on the Switch version of the game.

Posted by FireRaiser1985 on 04 Jul 19 at 10:43

This is why they shouldn’t add these “unlock all achievements “ achievements (mouthful I know). Anything that is dependent on unlocking an achievement prior upsets my stomach, there’s always a chance it won’t work and for it to hit everyone...they should have just left it out.

Posted by TVthePunisher on 05 Jul 19 at 21:48

It appears you can gain the platinum in PS4 version,so what's the problem with X1 version?

Posted by KRose217 on 07 Jul 19 at 06:34

TruthfulSkate8, if I can get back to my original post and edit it, I will. Otherwise you're welcome to find it and add a comment clarifying such yourself. Hope it unlocks for both of us (and everyone!) very soon.

Posted by PNibbles on 07 Jul 19 at 21:15

New patch today, doesn't fix Overlord achievement

Posted by Bsmittel on 09 Jul 19 at 01:58

Bsmittel when I saw their post on Twitter, that was the frst thing I asked about. I don't mind if they first want to fix the performance issues across all the platforms, but I hope they fix this achievement one day.

Posted by Stark Marine on 09 Jul 19 at 05:25

That's whack. I just finally got items collector achievement the other night. Only to find out this achievement is glitched for everyone. No wonder the percentage of gamers for this achievement is still at 0.00% to this day.

Posted by OptimalShadez on 15 Jul 19 at 00:04

Submitted a bug report, made the suggestion that instead of triggering when all achievements are unlocked, instead have it when the ingame completion reaches 100% (ie, all maps, shards, items, demons and techniques are unlocked).

Posted by MushaConvoy on 19 Jul 19 at 02:03

Lol. I will not get the achievement then. :P This can't be hard for the devs to fix. I mean... I don't know anything about programming but there's probably only one string in the code (or something like that) that needs to be removed/modified for it to work properly. They just don't care about it right now. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Posted by FireRaiser1985 on 19 Jul 19 at 02:52

Just a heads up, fix is coming, devs are aware of it, only downside it might take around 2 weeks according to the latest KS update

Posted by Michel on 19 Jul 19 at 17:05

Last but not least, we’ve seen lots of people bring up the bug on XB1 regarding the “Overlord” achievement not unlocking. The teams are aware of this and are going to be fixing it! The fix is currently scheduled to be done within the next two weeks.

Awesome news ! :D

So it should be good in 2 weeks.Wait and see !

Posted by Clad master on 21 Jul 19 at 08:25

We're already coming up on 3 weeks past the eta for the backer DLC, so actually not holding my breath on this getting fixed soon. Deadlines and ETAs by them seem more a vague suggestion than anything else.

Posted by fallouthirteen on 01 Aug 19 at 06:49

sigh... delayed again guys...

Unfortunately due to the rearrangement of resources, the upcoming Xbox One update is delayed. Our current ETA is for the end of August.
The update (1.006) will contain:
Balance Update #1: Details Here
Overlord achievement fix
HDR Fix
Localization improvements
XB1-specific bug fixes
As a result of these fixes, we will also be ready to release the IGA Back Pack DLC. We expect that to be ready at the same time as the 1.006 patch.

Posted by Michel on 01 Aug 19 at 16:27

Thanks for the update, I can stop obsessively checking this thread for a bit.

Posted by illdizzog on 02 Aug 19 at 02:33

Called it.

Posted by fallouthirteen on 06 Aug 19 at 21:27

Since they rarely manage to make these obtain all achievements work properly why on earth do they insist on trying. Idiots!

Posted by MattiasAnderson on 20 Aug 19 at 01:37

Well since it's $8 off, i will buy it and wait for the update! Hope you guys don't have to start over for this achievement.

Posted by BK BuDHa on 21 Aug 19 at 22:07

@MattiasAnderson... ehhhh maybe because it's a simple conversion from the PS4 trophy list, Overlord is the equivalent to a platinum trophy, that's why it's in here.

P.S: You don't even have the game and are complaining? LMAO

Posted by Michel on 25 Aug 19 at 20:58

Looks like the patch has been delayed again, at least until next Thursday, September 5 according to the Bloodstained reddit.

Posted by Ten Gold Coins on 31 Aug 19 at 01:37

I want my achievement

Posted by Stark Marine on 31 Aug 19 at 12:42

Would be amazing if IGA's Back Pack were free for Xbox users since we are the last on waiting (???)

At any case, this is my last achievement to unlock.

Posted by Irisa Shijofu on 31 Aug 19 at 22:32

咕咕咕

Posted by M Fxxker 97 on 02 Sep 19 at 12:28

Delayed again. We're never getting this achievement lol

Xbox 1 Update 1.006 is looking to arrive by last week of September and will include:

IGA’s Backpack DLC
Balance Update #1: Details Here
Overlord achievement fix
HDR Fix
Localization improvements
XB1-specific bug fixes

Posted by NekoZam on 06 Sep 19 at 20:02

I'm actually optimistic this time (because really, how many times can they afford to be wrong about the fix date).

Posted by fallouthirteen on 12 Sep 19 at 19:05

Thanks for the info. 😃

Posted by Pystynen on 20 Sep 19 at 15:55

Cant wait for HDR fix :)

Posted by R4Z1 on 22 Sep 19 at 15:02

@Michel, since when do you need to own the game to complain about how broken something is in it? Since its XGP, they could have it and not want to start it since it's broken.

Posted by Leo Ascendent on 24 Sep 19 at 17:15

09/26 still glitched :/

Posted by Motosyko21 on 26 Sep 19 at 16:27

Yeah, there was a new update today that just says "This update is still planned to go live by the end of September." So I guess we'll see. Hopefully by next week if all goes well.

Posted by NekoZam on 26 Sep 19 at 20:59

Kinda slack this isnt working yet but hopefully they fix it asap, gosh. im sure sony doesnt have this problem

Posted by Iggsy81 on 27 Sep 19 at 09:51

Just completed this wonderful and amazing game to get slammed by the "get all achievements" achievement not unlocking. Being that today is the last day of september, 9/30, im not holding my breath we're getting it soon, unless it releases this afternoon... What a disappointing ending to an overall enjoyable playthrough (minus the random crashes going to save rooms and wiping progress).

Posted by demon596 on 30 Sep 19 at 04:27

As expected,another date not respected...Nice work ArtPlay !

Posted by Clad master on 30 Sep 19 at 10:11

It's been nearly 4 months and they still can't fix a single broken achievement along with a couple other bugs? What a miserable pile of secrets... err... liars.

Posted by OptimalShadez on 30 Sep 19 at 22:23

here's an idea guys, do what other people did. buy a playstation, xbox is awful :/

Posted by JakThaRiPP3R84 on 01 Oct 19 at 18:58

@JakThaRiPP3R84 If that's true then why do you own an Xbox? LOL. Also Playstation is garbage.

Posted by OptimalShadez on 01 Oct 19 at 23:11

Well September is gone and we still waiting. =/

Posted by lLeoOneBR on 02 Oct 19 at 10:16

Good Luck and good play ^^. I never touch sooooo a shit again we Darkshiters 2

Posted by Deadzone Fight on 05 Oct 19 at 09:51

to this day it's still broken

Posted by CaladoRenato on 06 Oct 19 at 05:29

Still no fix, october and counting.

Posted by Ericles Oliver on 06 Oct 19 at 18:35

hopefully this gets patched soon. waiting to pop another achieve till this is fixed

Posted by TheTokenHobo on 10 Oct 19 at 15:59

Still not fixed today (2019, Oct the 14th)

Posted by boulgom on 14 Oct 19 at 17:56

Any news about this problem ?

Posted by Clad master on 14 Oct 19 at 18:02

Everytime someone post a comment here I think the achievement is fixed.

Posted by FireRaiser1985 on 14 Oct 19 at 18:09

505Games is now trolling us with stupid question PR posts on the Bloodstained official feed on Xbox One. Everyone is asking for an update and they just keep posting these. Why don't we even have a rough new date?? Nothing? Do they even know how to fix the achievement?

Posted by TruthfulSkate8 on 20 Oct 19 at 07:52

From the official Discord, posted on October 18th:

Hello everyone, XB1 patch is now confirmed by end of next week. Sorry for the repeated delays / hiccups with this, we kept encountering annoying bugs every time we fixed things, in truest fashion of stereotypical bug squashing efforts.

This is from someone from 505 Games, so I guess 27th October at the latest we should expect the (very) long-awaited patch

Posted by DaMurn on 23 Oct 19 at 03:01

Excellent news thanks for the update. My backer copy has gathered dust waiting on the fix to start.

Posted by OldSchoolBlood on 24 Oct 19 at 12:26

So, we are the 27th october and still nothing. Surprising ?

Posted by Clad master on 27 Oct 19 at 10:21

still waiting

Posted by dadaveke on 27 Oct 19 at 14:12

lol this shit is why I went back to PS4. Granted I didn't have many achievements and was barely on xbox a year, but i encountered so many games with blatant fuckin cheap unobtainables, just because more money on playstation.

Posted by JakThaRiPP3R84 on 27 Oct 19 at 17:54

Once again 505 games got our hopes up and failed to deliver... 505? More like 404...

Posted by Dark CEPM 42 on 30 Oct 19 at 14:24

Backer update on 10/31:

Unfortunately, we don’t have specific dates yet for Zangetsu or Xbox update 1.04 (including the IGA's Back Pack DLC) yet. As soon as we have that info we will share it with everyone.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we continue to work on the game across all platforms and work to add more modes and backer goals.

Posted by NekoZam on 31 Oct 19 at 21:36

unlocked by 0.00% - at least i am not alone

Posted by headXcrash on 03 Nov 19 at 14:57

Yep. Just got my "last" achievement today but no Overlord. All that grinding for naught. Wish I knew this was bugged prior to playing. Oh well.

At least they appear to be working on it unlike some developers (cough Kalypso cough). Guess they're likely delaying to release everything in one update.

Posted by bendomino on 03 Nov 19 at 18:35

Salt and Sanctuary is better than this game for 18$, most people don't know about it, check it out guys!

Posted by BK BuDHa on 08 Nov 19 at 19:55

^ Indeed but i still wait for a sale :(

Posted by Clad master on 08 Nov 19 at 21:50

Ok, so update is coming on the 29th.

""Xbox One update 1.0.0.6 and Iga’s Backpack will be heading to you by Nov 29th! We apologize for the delay. We also have Zangetsu and many more exciting content updates in the works that we will bring to you ASAP. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve the game. "
Small update, but hopefully it will be appreciated by those waiting for news."

Posted by Cheshir3xSmilez on 20 Nov 19 at 04:24

I got $20 riding on this betting it will be delayed again.

Posted by OptimalShadez on 20 Nov 19 at 23:58

just give them 2 more years! stop complaine!

Posted by LaughinGuo on 22 Nov 19 at 22:49

Note the "BY November 29" phrasing there. They can easily disrespect this promise since it's not an exact date.

I'll be filing BBB complaints toward 505 games/Artplay for not just disrespecting dates, but many blunders with their Kickstarter items not shipping to people(read the hundreds of comments on their Kickstarer update page), IGA pack supposed to be from day one. etc. I've seen less important reasons people go the route of BBB complaints, on this site and psnprofiles. This actually is worth reporting.

Posted by TruthfulSkate8 on 25 Nov 19 at 06:58

Patch is live. Just unlocked for me. I earned the item achievement and it didn't pop but I saved my game and then quit to the title screen and loaded my game and it popped.

Posted by Pokutescurse on 26 Nov 19 at 18:02

I'll follow up by saying that Overlord was the only remaining achievement I needed, and it unlocked while I was loading my game file. Might have unlocked on the title screen or file select had I waited longer, but that fix is indeed in place.

Posted by FrogTheWarrior on 26 Nov 19 at 18:09

unlocked for me. just load up your save and the achievement will pop

Posted by ll Sen ll on 26 Nov 19 at 20:21

The wait is over.... x.x

Posted by Cheshir3xSmilez on 26 Nov 19 at 22:40

Thanks for the continuous updates on the status of this

Posted by UliUdo on 26 Nov 19 at 22:55

I saved one achievement for this. “Bloodstained” for getting enough blood using Blood Steal. I stopped at about 960LL just so I could pop it come the patch. Overlord did not follow after getting that last achievement.

However, saving the game then going to the title screen and reloading the save popped it during the load. I saved one to make myself a Guinea pig since most had already popped every other achievement to see what kind of bugs may occur when popping the last achievement. Good thing it wasn’t detrimental at least lol

So in case anyone left off other achievements and this doesn’t pop right away, save the game, quit to title and reload the save to pop it.

Posted by TVthePunisher on 27 Nov 19 at 01:38

woo hoo I finally got it!

Posted on 27 Nov 19 at 19:45

This should be a lesson to developers to stop putting this bullshit achievement in games.

Posted by ATCS on 27 Nov 19 at 19:49

It's just them importing the platinum trophy across but the coding doesn't translate. They really need to stop doing this, or share their correct coding with other devs...

Posted by GamePadZebby on 28 Nov 19 at 01:45

+1 for TVthePunisher

Posted by Storm Yorha on 28 Nov 19 at 10:02

FINALLY!!!!

Posted by Dark CEPM 42 on 29 Nov 19 at 00:04

They fix this achievement but didn't fix item collector :/

Posted by Mr Jim PL on 30 Nov 19 at 09:33

I like that every game that has this kind of achivement it NEEDS to be patched and doesnt work at launch. Funny but annoying

Posted by BioMegaBear on 02 Dec 19 at 21:07

The "Overlord" achievement didn't come to me as much as I did all of them. How I managed to solve it and I hope it works for you! Load your 100% rescue and save it in another space, then return to the menu and load the extra "Attack of the bosses" mode with this copy of the rescue you created and the achievement will explode on the screen. Hope this works for you!

Posted by Shiryu de Ouro on 08 Feb 20 at 22:16

not fully fixed, went it this with the latest update had to refer to this to get it to pop

Posted by Jo3y Ban3s on 29 Mar 20 at 06:48

Awesome it worked!...my first platinum

Posted by Bold Leanidas on 03 Apr 20 at 07:36

Can you please say "unlock every other achievement " somewhere? This isn't obvious when looking through secret achievements from Xbox true achievement app.

Posted by Tyger7 on 03 May 20 at 03:05

Didn't unlock right away, can confirm that quitting to the main menu and reloading the save makes it pop.

Posted by OhMyGoth1 on 03 Jun 20 at 02:42

I can confirm,fixed Achievement. 100%

Posted by VONHELLS on 31 Jan 21 at 01:47

The save, quit to main menu, and reload save also made the achievement pop for me.

Posted by FLEEBS on 07 Feb 21 at 06:17

Popped Item Collector, then saved, quit, and reloaded my save. POP! Game completed

Posted by Robster80 on 29 Jul 21 at 23:35

Worked great!!!

Posted by LRD SOTH on 15 Oct 22 at 20:03

Worked great!!!

Posted by LRD SOTH on 16 Oct 22 at 00:17

The save, quit to title screen, reload save also made the achievement pop for me 2/23

Posted by MannyOmega on 24 Feb 23 at 04:10

Saving, quitting to the title screen and reloading doesn't work on PC Gamepass unfortunately - tried on version 1.4 on 2024-02-27. All achievements were earned on 1.4, and Item Collector was the last.

I even tried starting NG+ and killing the first boss, as some people said that worked on an older Steam version - it didn't work here. The achievement appears to be impossible to earn on PC Gamepass.

Posted by HiTechLowIQ on 27 Feb at 12:36

March 3th 2024 - still not poping on PC game pass

Posted by guzTwo on 03 Mar at 18:49

Save, quit & reload on xbox worked like a charm :)

Posted by gory zj on 10 Mar at 16:29

Tried the xbox method on the PC gamepass but unfortunately didn't work.

Posted by DOOM RAINS on 14 Mar at 12:48

Reloading works when playing via xCloud as well. Upvote from me!

Posted by zr122 on 19 Mar at 20:37

this works great. just save game and load

Posted by pcfraek92 on 28 Mar at 23:19

As of 4/3/2024, whoever wants to know if saving and reloading works for PC Game Pass, it doesnt. As a matter of fact, doing all the fixes in this article don't work.

I've tried a speedrun to the first boss in SpeedRun Mode, beat both courses in Boss Rush mode, loaded an old save and beat the final boss again, and pretty much other things that would trigger achievements. This is broken, and you're better off uninstalling and submitting a bug report to Bloodstained Devs.

Posted by Kusanagi2k5 on 03 Apr at 19:39

13th April 2024. Playing game pass version. Unlocked all other achievements but Overlord did not pop. Saved game. Options/return to title. Reload game, cheevo popped straight away. This is obviously a bit flaky but it worked for me. This was on Xbox (not PC)
