Detailed explanation of all achievements with videos, step-by-step walkthrough of Pacifist mode, and other hints & tips.

 
 

Intro

 
This guide will walk you through the best way to earn all achievements (including videos for the trickier bits), how to beat bosses, and a full walkthrough of Pacifist mode. The guide is cross-referenced so you can use it for both of your runs to optimise time, or you can pick & choose as required. 
 
As ever with Metroidvanias, this game is open-ended so I recommend you get stuck in and see what you can discover 😊 However, you may want to check out the section on ‘Missable Achievements’ first so you can watch out for opportunities on your way through. 
 
Warning:Spoilers ahead! I’ll make modest use of spoiler tags in the early sections but you have been warned. 
 
 

Achievements – Story

 
These achievements are unmissable in your first playthrough.

Unchained 
Defeat Imprisoned King 
A fairly straight-forward battle in Rose Castle. Stay on or around the middle platform when he fires projectiles & flies overhead – once he reaches the far side jump back across and start getting hits in while he lowers & subsequently rests on the ground. 
 
Note it’s also possible to skip the fight until later – getting the Yellow Gemstone & upgrading twice (11 Orbs total) trivialises the fight to point of a few seconds. To skip, from the warp point before the boss, descend the ladder and head back over the spikes – there’s a secret passage in the wall to the right. On the next screen, there’s another passage to the lower right – from here you can block/bubble up, solve the puzzle to get the Petal and finally climb the ladder to the exit to Kloki’s Bridge
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
 
Saving Imprisoned King for later can also be beneficial for the Slick Moves and/or Idle Hands achievements – see the ‘Achievements – Missable’ section below. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Rite Way 
Defeat Sir Pent 
Usually the 2nd boss, fought in Sylvan Temple. The only tricky thing about this fight is keeping an eye on your air supply – I usually stay on the middle block so you’re never too far away. You can attack when he dashes across the screen, which is both a free hit and prevents him from damaging you. Pay attention to which hole he disappears into, and be ready to hit him when he re-surfaces. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Annihilation 
Defeat Desmond Grim 
Usually the 3rd/4th boss, fought in Abandoned Ruins. There are two phases to this fight – the second phase triggers when he hits half health and warps the stage to the ‘past’, which makes the spike pit larger and activates an occasional trio of shurikens along the track in the backwall. Given the shurikens always travel right to left, you should stick to the left side of the spikes to give more reaction time. 
 
You can only hit Desmond Grim when he opens his eyes. Use a bubble to each the left platform, then patiently dodge his projectiles and time your jumps onto the crumbling platform to hit his eye when it opens. Use dash to get back to safety, or commit fully to the jump and land on the bottom crumbling platform (be quick!). 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Hungry Eyes 
Defeat Queen Eydie 
The other of the 3rd/4th bosses in all likelihood, fought in Eydie’s Keep. As with Desmond Grim, you can only hit her in the eye when it’s open, however, given it’s a far bigger target and she keeps it open a lot more, it’s usually an easier fight. I highly recommend the first two Yellow Gemstone upgrades for this fight – fire point-blank when she closes in, immediately followed by a regular attack, to inflict 4 HP of damage. She won’t last long! 
 
Honestly, I would ignore the gravity pads altogether unless you really need to conserve health by dodging her dashing attacks – going upside down will only open you up to risk from confusion and insta-death spikes. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Regal Guardian 
Defeat all Guardians 
There are 3 Guardians, located in Valley of Reprisal, Central Alwa and Eastern Highlands. In a normal playthrough they must be killed to deactivate the pink forcefield, as the areas they block are mandatory to progression. They have a simple attack pattern of launching projectiles into the air, which fall back down on straight paths. 
 
Note: Guardians do not count as bosses for achievements that care about this. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Great Success! 
Finish the game 
After finishing Chapter III you’ll be warped to a small playable epilogue – proceed through this area (talking to the characters if you wish) and approach Saga to launch the credits & complete the game. 
 
 

Achievements – Missable

 
These achievements have a specific requirement that must be fulfilled at a certain time/place(s), and can be permanently missed on a playthrough. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
That’s Not Right 
Upon waking up, immediately jump into the water 
If you’re anything like me this will be the first achievement you get… I did it in Alwa’s Awakening too, which works out even worse yet I didn’t learn. Missable if you leave the first screen to the right, but you can simply start a new slot anytime and get it right away. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Family Matters 
Reunite a father with his son 
Rescue Lincoln in Sylvan Temple, and then talk to him back at his house in Boyd’s Farm. In order to do this, you must find two buttons to open the two doors holding him in, and then talk to him, before hitting any of the save points on either the same vertical level as Lincoln or above. 
 
WARNING: If you activate a save point to raise the water level before releasing and talking to him, he will drown and the game will immediately lock it in with a save, making the achievement impossible on that run
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
 
Despite the [well deserved] severity of that warning, I’ll now completely contradict myself and suggest that you actually do let him drown on your first run…! Why? Because this way, you can enjoy completely different dialogue & events by asking Trine the Necromancer in Central Alwa to resurrect him, allowing you to still obtain 100% completion and the Perfectionist achievement. You will then pick up the Family Matters achievement on your next run, which will be a Pacifist run (see section below), where it is mandatory to save Lincoln meaning you can then see the other set of events 😊 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Slick Moves 
Finish any boss without being hit 
Both this achievement and the next one are technically not missable, since the Vicar fight will always be available even on a completed file. However, it makes life a lot easier to plan ahead a little and polish these achievements off on easier fights, as opposed to breaking your back in harder fights. I recommend two options: 

  1. Skip Imprisoned King in Rose Castle, as described in the ‘Achievements – Story’ section above, until after you’ve gained more Orbs, some movement skills, and the Incantation of Orbis. This is the easiest way. 
  2. Another late game method available is to max everything else out and then beat The Collector in the Gloomy Cellar, since he counts as a boss.

 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Idle Hands 
Defeat any boss using only the Incantation of Orbis 
See above. As an aside, the Incantation of Orbis is a fairly lacklustre ability which pretty much finds it’s only use in this achievement… I find teleport / spike immunity infinitely more useful for swift movement across maps. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Equilibrium 
Carry exactly 3 Keys, 3 Tears and 3 Petals in your inventory at the same time 
This is an interesting achievement… Keys are by far the scarcest and never hang around in your inventory for long, and Petals are quite rare too, yet it’s frivolous use of Tears that will catch you out if you’re not careful… upgrading those save points is just so tempting! 
 
This achievement synergises very well with a Pacifist run, given that you’ll want to hang on to two keys from Eydie’s Keep, which you’ll be doing on your Pacifist run regardless to save time & make things easier. In a normal run, these keys are found in Eydie’s Keep and used in the same area to unlock rooms to fight the minibosses, which is a requirement to reach Queen Eydie. However, on Pacifist, fighting the minibosses is illegal as Tombstones are used instead, meaning you never need unlock the rooms! 
 
A third key can be found in either Abandoned Ruins if you haven’t already been there, or failing that in Arcane Halls. You should have 3 Petals are this point (but won’t have the 4th to get the final upgrade, as this is located in Arcane Halls), so as long as you kept 3 Tears back you’re all set! 
 
Below: be very careful not to accidently use a key here when you climb the ladder! Use a bubble to be avoid this.

Achievements – Special

 
The achievements in this section are for specific challenges that can be done at any time during a normal game mode playthrough, so there’s no harm in leaving them until the very end (even after you win the game). 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Lord Of The Flies 
Kill any enemy from above using a block 
Technically missable, but I think you’d be hard pushed not to do this by accident sooner or later (especially on a Pacifist run…!) Easiest method is for the first Guardian in Valley of Reprisal– use the ladder to travel up to the Tombstoneon the previous screen, then jump along the platforms and simply push the pre-spawned green block off the edge. 
 
If you’ve already killed the Guardian, there are also plenty of easy spots in the Castle Gardens to kill the white flower enemies. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Let There Be Light 
Light every single torch in Ancient Catacombs 
Once you obtain the Ember’s Nest in Central Alwa you’ll be able to see in the dark to order to safely navigate the Ancient Catacombs, and you’ll also be able to light the torches by pressing up. This is fairly straight-forward if you work methodically across the level as most of them are in plain sight, but there’s two areas worth calling out: 

  1. At the entrance to Town of Westwood, you’ll need the fully upgraded Green Gemstone to knock a block across and then explode the wall with Lightning. 
     
  2. At the lowest point of the map, located behind a locked door towards the western side, you’ll descend a ladder to seemingly a dead end with a spike pit. Using the exact same item/method as #1 (combined with dash) you can explode the wall and make your way across. (there’s also an Orb that requires Umbra to reach hidden in the passage at the very end of this area)

 
If you’re struggling, the eldenpixels.com – https://eldenpixels.com/files/maps/Catacombs.png by Elden Pixels contains all the torches. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Falling Down 
Use Incantation of Umbra three times without touching the ground in between 
There’s a number of places in the game where this is possible, and two things to take into consideration – firstly, Umbra can only be performed between a solid wall where both sides are clear; and secondly, you’ll need to transition a screen between each use in order to instantly recharge the ability. 
 
I advise using the very top area of Grand Library, as it has a convenient warp point for retries, and ample opportunity to perform the required 3 teleports. The game seems to restore abilities twice during a screen transition, once at the start & once again at the end… in the video below I used this to pull off six teleports in the same free fall! 
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy_Dwy3GYuc”>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy_Dwy3GYuc 

 
Note this trick is by no means necessary for the achievement, which will pop after the 3rd teleport. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Duck Tale 
Make it over Kloki’s Bridge without being noticed once by an enemy 
The clues in the name for this achievement – hold down to duck and the ghost enemies won’t notice you. They can only see in front of them for about ¼ screen length of uninterrupted LoS, and will never see you while crouching. 
 
There’s no rush for this achievement so I highly recommend leaving it until you have the dash and the fully upgraded Blue Gemstone for infinite bubbles, as it makes the final section much easier. 
 
Video below shows the method – working left to right from the checkpoint near Rose Castle, you’ll encounter 3 screens with enemies: 

  1. Dash across the gap to the middle structure and crouch at the second balustrade; run on once the ghost passes 
     
  2. Proceed straight to the lower left platform; crouch until the left ghost turns around & passes overhead. Move to the centre platform, create a block and jump to the lower right platform; crouch again. Take your time, and create a block and a bubble to move to the top ledge, crouching one final time. This is the hardest part, so if any step is too tricky just break it down into smaller tasks between crouches 😊 
     
  3. Enter the final screen and immediately fall to the screen below. Head to the righthand ledge, then create a bubble in line with the edge and ride it back up to the screen above. If done correctly you’ll come out directly beneath the ladder – jump onto it as soon as you’re able & run to the exit.

Ready To Rumble 
Have the Incantation of Orbis fully maxed out 
The Incantation of Orbis is located in Monk’s Mire – you need to defeat the Architect in order to obtain it, meaning it can’t be done in a Pacifist run. Once you have it, get all 99 Orbs (see ‘Conjuror’ above) and this will unlock. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
Perfectionist 
Find 100% secrets in all areas 
Requires that you find all Orbs, Tears, Petals and ability items, and transform all save points to warp points. Here’s an endgame checklist, not including items either covered under other achievements or mandatory to complete the main story: 

  • 99 Orbs (and the Old Melody Box – see ‘Conjuror’ section above) 
     
  • 42 Tears applied to 42 save points (don’t forget the inside one in Monk’s Mire, mentioned in the ‘A Tear for Wellness’ section above). Note that the save points in Sylvan Temple and Abandoned Ruins already have another function and cannot be converted to warp points. 
     
  • 12 Petals, handed in to Jean-Baptiste in the Castle Gardens to acquire the Harmony’s Rose (unlocks Pacifist mode – see section below). 
     
  • The Incantation of Orbis (see ‘Ready to Rumble’ section above) 
     
  • The Upgraded Staff from Gloomy Cellar – once you have the Incantation of Umbra, warp to the furthest right point in Ancient Catacombs and head left into Central Alwa, then teleport through the wall to reach the door as below

 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 

 
Just Like Kieran 
Finish Pacifist Mode 
Pacfisit is an entirely separate game mode, and is unlocked by acquiring the Harmony’s Rose from Jean-Baptiste in the Castle Gardens in exchange for 12 Petals scattered around the world. Given you’ve already beaten the game to unlock this mode, I will not use spoiler tags from here on out. 

  • You may hit enemies, but you may not kill them – if you do, you will immediately lose and the game will turn into a Standard mode run with no other differences 
  • Bosses, Guardians and some minibosses can be removed by activating Tombstones with the Rose, which allows you to pass through without combat. These are usually either en-route or require a small amount of exploration. Note: there is no Tombstone for The Architect nor The Collector, so the Incantation of Orbis & Upgraded Staff (as well as the Old Melody Box) are unobtainable on Pacifist mode 
  • Any enemy that suicides without player intervention, either by design or by accident, does not break the run 
  • Hitting enemies with more than 1 HP will grant a brief period of invincibility, which you can use to pass through them if you become cornered

 
Biggest watch-outs are accidental deaths caused by blocks/bubbles: 

  • Accidently pushing a block off a ledge onto an enemy below 
  • Pushing a spikey block (be especially cautious around the red flower enemies in Castle Gardens!) 
  • The multi-directional projectile burst from the bubble upgrade. The ceiling dwelling Slimes in Monk’s Mire / Eydie’s Keep like to die unexpectedly to these… For this reason, I recommend delaying this & all subsequent Blue Gemstone upgrades until late-game when you have enough Orbs to get them all at once

 
So long as the run is intact there will be a Harmony’s Rose icon on the HUD, and an alive rose in your inventory – see below. When you fail, a distinctive sound will play, the HUD rose vanishes and the inventory rose permanently wilts. 
 
Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
 
 

Pacifist – Safeguards

 
Accidental failure is common and the game is quite long – fortunately there are 3 methods available for backing up your progress if the worst happens: 

  1. Use the ‘Copy File’ functionality on the ‘File Select’ to periodically back up your main Pacifist run file to a different slot 
     
  2. Alternatively, you can physically create a backup of the save files in Explorer, located as below. This is useful given the game only gives you 3 file slots. 
     

    …\AppData\LocalLow\EldenPixels\Alwa’s Legacy

     

  3. Immediately Alt+F4! Although the game constantly logs your progress, it seems it only physically writes the progress to the save file when you either ‘attack’ or select ‘Save Game’ from a save point, or quit via the menu. Warping is not enough. This means if you immediately Alt+F4 upon failure, you can salvage the run and return to the last point you did one of the above actions (might be quite far if you’re not consciously tagging those save points, so be careful!)

 
Remember: so long as the rose is on the HUD, you’re still in business. 
 
 

Pacifist – Walkthrough pt.1

 
On Pacifist mode, having more than 3 health is an absolute must, whilst dash allows you avoid many obstacles/enemies altogether. The high-level route will therefore focus on acquiring health & movement upgrades ASAP. 
 
Following the linear section of the game (i.e. Chapter I), we’ll be spending a lot of time in ‘hub-like’ areas (Central Alwa, Ancient Catacombs & Eastern Highlands) to unlock abilities and gather Orbs to progress movement skills, and then we’ll tackle the remaining dungeons in the order: Eydie’s Keep > Abandoned Ruins > Sylvan Temple. The latter map has some nasty bits on Pacifist (and can even result in a softlock at time of writing), so we want to prep as best as possible before heading there. 

  1. Start out as usual heading through Valley, Town and Gardens, keeping your eye out for Orbs that you’ve hopefully remembered from your previous 100% run (e.g. the hidden one on the screen next to the Green Gemstone in Castle Gardens). 
     
  2. The part below is Rose Castle is quite tricky with only 3 health and no dash. Jump towards the platform as the Skeleton approaches, and hit it once to avoid damage. Stand and create a block (you’ll take 1 HP damage), then from the top of the block create a bubble and jump to the next platform. Repeat, and jump to the final ledge. If you fail, remember to at least dip on to the screen below for a second to replenish the enemies’ health, and fall to the save point below for your own health if needed. 
     
    Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
     
  3. Head across Kloki’s Bridge and through the Grand Library. Immediately below the Yellow Gemstone you’ll reach a room with an impossible switch in Pacifist mode, given there’s a purple skeleton blocking it. Instead, head back up to the gemstone room and use the secret passage to the left, per the screenshot below. 
     
    Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
     
  4. Back in Town of Westwood, spec into green upgrades as much as possible, as yellow is pretty much useless to us, and we want to avoid getting bubble-projectiles for now as mentioned earlier. 
     
  5. Explore Central Alwa – hit the Tombstone in the top left, get the Gold Bullion and deliver it to Beth in town, and drop through to get the Ember’s Nest (i.e. night vision). Use Tears in strategic places to set up a small warp network, which you can then use to switch abilities to get more collectibles. The ability to create ledges by hitting green blocks into the wall can get you surprisingly far! Prioritise collecting Petals whenever you get a new upgrade/ability, but if you need Equilibrium don’t purchase the second health upgrade (i.e. to 5 health) until after you’ve unlocked it! 
     
  6. Get the Letter of Recommendation from Dourif in the Ancient Catacombs; warp up to the Village of Mila to exchange for the key, then warp back again and get the Norse Belt to enable breaking stone walls. Make sure you grab the Petal to the far west. 
     
  7. Pick up Letharic’s Bell from Beth if you haven’t already, then re-spec with the Wizard to get the infinite bubble, reducing your green upgrades to 2. Go to the Eastern Highlands
    The bit below requires some creativity given we can’t go through the water without the increased lung capacity. Place a block & stand on it, then jump straight upwards and create another block mid-air & knock it across into the higher part of the opposite wall. Next, stand as close off the edge as you can, create a bubble and ride it to almost the top of the screen, then jump onto the block from earlier. You can create another bubble from here to reach the ledge. 
     
    Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
     
  8. Continue onwards & upwards to get the dash ability

 
 
 

Pacifist – Walkthrough pt.2

 
(cont.) 

  1. Warp back and proceed to Eydie’s Keep. As detailed in the Equilibrium section (see ‘Achievements – Missable’ above), remember that we won’t need to use the two keys collected in Eydie’s Keep, so we can use them to unlock Equilibrium and also to take shortcuts in the Arcane Halls. You’ll need to hunt out 4 Tombstones in this area (3x miniboss and the main boss) – this is quite easy with a bit of exploration. Don’t leave without the Petal
     
  2. Go to Abandoned Ruins. Providing you heeded the warning on Tears from earlier, you should unlock Equilibrium when you collect the first key in this area. Complete the map as normal. 
     
  3. Collect any remaining Petals, and cash in the upgrade to 5 health at the Castle Gardens
     
  4. It’s time for Sylvan Temple. I advise creating a backup at the entrance using one of the methods explained in the ‘Safeguards’ section above. 
     
  5. Remember, you must save Lincoln in a Pacifist run! This means hitting both switches and talking to him before hitting any save points of equal/higher level. If you open the doors but forget to talk to him, as I once did, he will drown on the spot anyway just to spite you… See the section on Family Matters above for a refresher. After saving Lincoln and hitting the save point behind him, remember to get the Petal on the west of the map before raising the water level again. 
     
  6. Complete your ascent, get the Elixir (lung capacity) and start heading down the east side of the map. There’s a tricky part in the lower right corner of the map with almost-impossible-to-dodge fish that will make you appreciate your 5 health & dash. Continue to the left and you’ll eventually reach the Tombstone… 
     
    Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
     
    The Tombstone can be activated once and once only to remove the boss, but it also lowers the water level to the very bottom of the map. If you die and load after this point the water level will be restored to just below the Tombstone, making the section that follows all but impossible (the devs have confirmed this is a softlock, and is on their to-do list to fix). 
     
    However, we’ve prepared for this! Firstly, don’t die…! Secondly, if you do die, with your shiny 5 health and dash ability you should be able to make it though, albeit still with quite a lot of difficulty. Good luck! 
     
  7. Back to the Grand Library again; use Umbra to pick up any last items you want (e.g. the Petal in Abandoned Ruins), then over to the Arcane Halls. You should ideally have green & blue gemstones maxed out at this point, but don’t worry too much about green if you’re a bit short. 
     
  8. Once you reach the first save point, head east to meet Gwen, hit the Tombstone and receive the last Petal. Warp to Castle Gardens to receive your final health upgrade (and the Rose that you already have?!) 
     
  9. Back at the first Arcane Halls save point, climb the ladder. There’s no reason on Pacifist to go left, so go straight through the door to the right using a spare key from Eydie’s Keep. If you didn’t hold a key back, there’s a secret passage from the room up 1 & left 1 that leads down to the key. 
     
    Alwa's Legacy 100% Achievements with videos - Pacifist Walkthrough & Secrets [ENG] 
     
  10. Follow the route around to the right and up, and again go through the door with your second spare key to bypass a large section. Above the door, go right and use the infinite bubble to take a shortcut. Head outside, deactivate the forcefields and loop back around to the upper-central save point. 
     
  11. Home stretch now! Go left from the save point and head straight to the room with the bat miniboss. There’s a secret passage to bypass it but it takes quite a lot of screens to reach… Instead, we can do a double-Umbra to teleport through the wall from an infinite bubble, which I demonstrate just after the 1-minute mark in the ‘Ghost Race‘ video embedded in the ‘Achievements – Full Completion’ section above. 
     
  12. Reach Vicar’s tower to grab the book and win the game – congrats!

 
 
 

Gloomy Cellar Shortcut

 
There’s a skip right at the beginning Gloomy Cellar – I’m not aware of anyone else posting this to-date and it only requires the Incantation of Umbra to pull off, which is needed to access the area in the first place. 
 
This method doesn’t miss any Orbs, items or characters, nor any content you haven’t already seen elsewhere, so this shortcut is useful if you’re not a fan of upside-down / insta-death spike shenanigans and would just like to finish the boss for the reward. 
 

YouTube player

 
You can still play the level normally afterwards (as I did), if you so choose. 
 
 

Secrets & Easter Eggs

 
This section is a WIP… there’s an extremely well-hidden endgame puzzle in the prequel to this game Alwa’s Awakening – these links show https://steamcommunity.com/app/549260/discussions/0/135508031954077801/ and a https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2470687352 if you’re curious. There’s reason to believe there might be something similar in Alwa’s Legacy… 
 
I will update this section with what we know so far.
