A complete guide on how to get all achievements in the MOST TIME-EFFICIENT way possible. Hope it helps someone!
All methods are updated 5/4/2022.
Section order and achievements categories.
To simplify getting all achievements i have distributed them into different categories and orders, meaning they can be done in the SAME RUN, so everytime you finish a run you unlock at least 2 achievements without losing the fun of the game.
You can obviosuly avoid this “order” i mentioned and just: start a run, do the specific achievement and reset, its completely optional but its a cool way of completing the game while also PLAYING it, and not just farming achievements.
Unintentional unlocking / self-explanatory
If you want 100% its because you really liked the game, therefore you should have played for a few hours by now and gotten these achievements by just playing RoR2 up to this point and if you havent, you dont need help on getting them. Either way i’ll give basic explanations in case you need them on the achievements that may need at least SOME claryfing.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Elite Slayer
Defeat an Elite-type monster.
Advancement
Complete a Teleporter event.
Learning Process
Die 5 times.
I Love Dying!
Die 20 times.
“Is This Bugged?”
Fail the Shrine of Chance 3 times in a row.
Funded!
Collect $30,480 total gold.
How to cheese it:
Pick up Roll of Pennies and Ghor’s Tomes and just play the game.
Experimenting
Pick up 5 different types of Equipment.
Mechanic
Repair 30 drones or turrets.
Easy to cheese
You can do almost all of these achievements without having to stop enjoying the -regular-experience of the game, just remember the achievements and treat them as tasks for each run while you play .
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Deja Vu?
Loop back to the first stage.
How to cheese it:
You loop by reaching the 5th stage and changing the teleport direction by interacting with its spike borders rather than with the center, you can also do an artifact and at the end it will also loop the game. I recommend the latter, since you can get this achievement + the artifact (of your choosing) achievement hence advancing quicker.
Macho
Deal 5000 damage in one shot.
How to cheese it:
With Artifact of Command play game looking for Crowbars, Armor-Piercing Rounds and grab Preon Accumulator.
If you have lunar shop or lunar pod early you can also grab Shaped glass instead of crowbars and get the achievement.
Use the Preon Accumulator close to the boss, as it has a damage fall-off based on distance.
Slaughter
Defeat 3000 enemies.
How to cheese it:
Use Artifact of Swarms, and grab items like Will o wisp, Ukulele, Razorwire. Also combat shrines will help reaching 3000kills faster.
Blockade Breaker
Kill 15 boss monsters in a single run.
How to cheese it:
Grab Trophy Hunter’s Tricorn every time you can and some Armor-Piercing Rounds, take into account that bosses who spawn normally after looping ALSO count, so if you kill them it will be faster, also activating mountain shrines make multiple bosses spawn per teleporter so you can do this by stage 6 or 7 if not unlucky.
Keyed Up
Defeat the Teleporter boss under 15 seconds.
How to cheese it:
15 seconds sounds too short, but its not. Grab Armor-Piercing Rounds and a Preon Accumulator. You should do this with the ‘Macho’ achievement.
Bookworm
Collect 10 Monster or Environment Logs.
How to cheese it:
Logs have random drops, they are not consistant. BUT, environment logs are unlocked with a drone, to make the spawnrate of this drone to increase you should activate Artifact of Command and Artifact of Sacrifice, as they disable Multishop Terminals, 3D Printers, Cleansing Pools, Scrappers, and Chests from spawning. Either way, you’ll depend on luck and playing multiple runs of the game.
One with the Woods
Fully upgrade a Shrine of the Woods.
How to cheese it:
Grab some Ghor’s Tome and Rolls of Pennies, and waste all the extra money on upgrading the Shrine of Woods.
Warm For Life
Die three times while burning.
How to cheese it:
Start the run with the Artifact of Honor, and when you spot a fire elite let enemies hit you until your health is low, step into the fire trace the mobs leave and let it kill you. Repeat.
Moon Worshipper
Carry 5 Lunar items in a single run.
How to cheese it:
It doesn’t need to be 5 different items, so with the new update you can just grab Egocentrism and let it consume 5 of your items while you keep playing. If you dont care about your build and just want the achievement you can buy whatever items the lunar shop is offering until you have 5.
The Lone Survivor
Stay alive for 30 consecutive minutes.
How to cheese it:
Clear a stage but dont activate the teleporter, just wait with the stage boss already cleared, almost no mobs will spawn and you can be on your cellphone while waiting, checkin every 1 or 2 minutes no ones hitting you.
Cleanup Duty
Destroy 20 flying rocks in Sky Meadow.
How to cheese it:
Grab Ukuleles, and a little bit of attack speed. Huntress is god for the achievement since her rightclick bounces… overall its really easy to complete but those tips make it a little bit faster around the 20seconds mark, usually it will take about 90seconds of just standing there waiting for rocks.
Engineer: 100% Calculated
As Engineer, defeat the teleporter boss in less than 5 seconds after it spawns.
How to cheese it:
Trophy Hunter’s Tricorn
Engineer: Better With Friends
As Engineer, recruit 12 minions at one time.
How to cheese it:
1-Every time you get Trophy Hunter’s Tricorn pick Queens gland for a new pet beetle.
2-Buy every drone and turret you see.
Take in consideration, your two turrets count towards the mission, so you only need to get 10 more minions, with the consistent gold item drop because of trophy hunter, you need 12 – 2 – 4(beetles) for an equal of 6 drones/turrets to buy.
Acrid: Pandemic:
As Acrid, inflict Poison 1000 total times.
How to cheese it:
With Artifact of Command get lots of Backup Magazines, spam your rightclick to inflict poision. Just play with Acrid, you’ll get it after maybe 5 runs.
Mercenary: Flash of Blades
As Mercenary, use 20 abilities in 10 seconds.
How to cheese it:
With Artifact of Command get lots of Backup Magazines, spam your rightclick and abilities.
REX: Full of Life
As REX, heal for 1000 health at once.
How to cheese it:
Grab lots and lots of infusions until you have 2000hp, once you do. Grab the equipment Foreign Fruit, which heals you for 50% of your max HP. Let monsters hit you until you are 900hp, use the active. Achievement unlocked.
Not-so-easy Cheese
Maybe 2 or 3 tries but its k
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Cosmic Explorer
Discover and enter three unique portals.
How to cheese it:
Offer a lunar coin to a Newt Altar 1-Blue Portal
Once in the lunar shop, go to the void fields, dropping to the bottom (google Void fields if u dont understand) 2- Black Portal: Void Fields
Loop the game looking for an artiffact on 5th stage 3-Big Artifical Portal
…Maybe One More.
Duplicate the same item 7 times in a row with a 3D Printer.
How to cheese it:
Drizzle, dont use Artifact of Command since it disables 3d printers. Play until you have 7items of the same rarity(colour) and once you find any printer just spam. If its really bad restart run.
Power Plant
Repair the broken robot with an Escape Pod’s Fuel Array.
How to cheese it:
I reccomend the use of huntress since she has lots of mobility to avoid danger, play on drizzle and get plenty Tougher Times and Toopaz Brooch. You’ll eventually make it.
REX: Bushwhacked
As REX, complete an entire teleporter event while under 50% health.
How to cheese it:
Just spam right click and mantain yourself on 35-40% hp. To make a little bit easier on yourself you can pick up multiple Infusions so, even though you are on 35% hp, your base hp is higher so you are less likely to get two-hitted. Do it on drizzle.
Artificer: Massacre , Artificer: Chunked!and Artificer: Orbital Bombardment
How to cheese it:
It will take maybe 3 or 4 tries but here it is, it unlocks ALL THREE ACHIEVEMENTS at the same time:
Guidance Offline
Defeat the unique guardian of Siren’s Call.
How to cheese it:
Artifact of command, pick Trophy Hunter’s Tricorn and save it for the Sirens Call optional boss. Destroy the blue eggs, and once it spawns just one-shot him. It will unlock Loader
Mercenary: Demon of the Skies
As Mercenary, don’t touch the ground for 30 seconds.
How to cheese it:
Use Artifact of Command and grab multiple Hopoo Feathers, hit your shifts on flying mobs, so it resets and you get 3 dashes instead of one. When your abilities are on cooldown use your feathers to keep jumping until you get your skills back. With 4 feathers should be enough.
Commando: Godspeed
As Commando, fully charge the first-stage teleporter before the timer hits 5 minutes
How to cheese it:
Just grab multiple Armor-Piercing Rounds and rush, if you dont like the build just reset run after. It will take, as the mission states, less than 5min so u will not lose any valuable progress.
Huntress: Finishing Touch
As Huntress, land a killing blow with every possible hit of a single glaive.
How to cheese it:
Lower the health of enemies until they are extremely low, do this with 7 or more enemies (if u loose count better make sure by hitting more mobs) once you lower the health of enough monsters, group them and use the rightclick.
Huntress: One Shot, One Kill
As Huntress, collect and carry 12 Crowbars at once.
How to cheese it:
Artifact of Command and always grab crowbar, u can reset after but its not AS BAD as it sounds.. you do deal a lot of dmg at the start of the run to snowball after if u wanna try.
MUL-T: Pest Control
As MUL-T, defeat two Beetle Queens without leaving the teleporter zone.
How to cheese it:
Use the Artifact of Swarms and reset your runs until the Beetle queen spawns as two or more. If you find mountain shrines they’re also useful since they tend to multiply the amount of bosses spawning.
Loader: Earthshatter
As Loader, land a Charged Gauntlet hit at 300mph or higher.
How to cheese it:
Pick up lots of Drink Sodas and Paul’s Goat, when you run like hedgehog then charge your shift and start sprinting as soon as you start charging it, release it into a boss or big mob (since it will be a little bit hard to land on tiny monsters).
Loader: The Thunderdome
As Loader, kill three other Loaders in the Bulwark’s Ambry.
How to cheese it:
For this achievement its useful to not grab lots of defensive items since your shadow clone will also have them.. this means that (hipotetically) if you picked up 100 Tougher Times teddys then nothing would be able to hit you BUT nothing will be able to hit your shadow clone either, meaning you wont be able to kill him and get the achievement.. take this in consideration while choosing the items for your build.
Trial of Frailty
Fall damage is doubled and lethal.
How to cheese it:
Loader can’t take fall damage so this Artifact doesn’t affect her. Pick her and rush stage 5 in drizzle, you’ll get this easily.
Captain: Worth Every Penny
As Captain, repair and recruit a TC-280 Prototype.
How to cheese it:
Start run using Artifact of Sacrifice and Artifact of Command since they free up space for the TC-280 Prototype drone to spawn by removing chests, printers, etc. Remember TC-280 Prototype drones only spawn at Rallypoint Delta, so going to the lunar shop after stage 2 to test luck and see if Rallypoint Delta portal is available for purchase might also help. Also, you can grab some Ghor’s Tome or Roll of Pennies to increase the amount of gold you get, since the drone is highly expensive and if you buy some chests you might end up not having enough gold by the time you find the drone.
Medium difficulty Cheese
This achiviements imply you either play just to get them or doing stuff you would normally avoid on your regular runs of the game
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Flawless
Fully charge a Teleporter without getting hit.
How to cheese it:
Grab Tougher times, if you are lucky it will help you so when you DO get hit, it doesnt actually count because “u didnt”. Also pick Engineer and use your Bubble shift as much as possible. Buying drones will also help since they take aggro of other mobs.
Multikill!
Kill 15 enemies simultaneously.
How to cheese it:
Artifact of Swarms, more mobs. Artifact of kin, restart run until you get beetles. Grab the Fuel Array, let all bettles stack, let them hit u and activate the Fuel Array explosion, if u stacked enough bettles you will get the achievement, do this with Artificier so you also unlock ALL of her abilities.
Going Fast Recommended
Reach +300% movespeed (includes sprinting).
How to cheese it:
Grab a stupid amount of Drink Sodas (since its the item that gives the most mov. speed) and sprint. You will eventually unlock it. After that keep playing ur normal run.
Rapidfire
Reach +200% attack speed.
How to cheese it:
Exactly like Drink sodas but more viable since its with Syringes. After unlock keep playing.
Naturopath
Without healing, reach and complete the 3rd Teleporter event.
How to cheese it:
Clearly, do not grab any healing items. But instead grab all Tougher Times and Toopaz Brooch. They are amazing defensive items and you will not need healing. Plus, you can do this in Drizzle.
[REDACTED]
Open the Timed Security Chest on Rallypoint Delta.
How to cheese it:
Drizzle, grab 2 items per stage and rush. You have to reach Rallypoint delta before 10mins, if you get any other stage reset run.
Never Back Down
In 4 consecutive stages don’t leave the teleporter radius until it is fully charged.
How to cheese it:
Just dont be a pu55y bruh.
Deicide
Defeat an Elite boss on Monsoon difficulty.
How to cheese it:
Activate Artifact of Honor, the first teleporter boss will be an Elite. Grab lots of Old Guillotine and / or Armor-Piercing Rounds.
Glorious Battle
Charge the Teleporter with less than 10% health.
How to cheese it:
You only need to FINISH charging it with 10% health, so pick REX, do everything as usual, when the first teleporter is around 90-95% start loosing hp on purpose with your abilities. Do not grab Tougher Times as it may cancel the dmg you receive by your rightclick.
Newtist
Discover and activate 8 unique Newt Altars.
How to cheese it:
Grab multiple Hopoo Feathers and Drink sodas, they will help a lot when having to reach weird places for the newt altars. Use this page of the wiki to now where newt altars spawn in each biome
https://riskofrain2.fandom.com/wiki/Newt_Altars?so=search – [fandom.com]
The Calm
Beat the game on Monsoon difficulty.
How to cheese it:
Artifact of Command, choose a high atack speed survivor, like MUL-T, build it 100% crit, lots of Harvesters Scythe, and Trophy Hunter’s Tricorn for multiple gold items. Also grab Void Tougher times and Oddly-shaped Opal, having the combination of both grants you two invincibility shields, so mythrix can land two hits on you but it wont matter since you cancel them. Beat mythrix.
Hard to cheese / NOT CHEESEABLE 🙁
Just start the run to do this or things may end up not working at the end, (like the hermit crabs one). Also achievements which i couldnt think of a way of cheesing. Take in consideration, not all of this achievements are HARD, they just are hard TO CHEESE. Meaning there’s no way of making it easier, just do what u gotta do.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Demons And The Crabs
Kill 20 Hermit Crabs by chasing them off the edge of the map
How to cheese it:
Drizzle, build a lot of Tougher Times so while you chase them of the map nothing kills you on the spot. DO NOT PICK UP ITEMS THAT CAN ACCIDENTLY KILL THEM, SOME OF THEM ARE Ceremonial Daggers, Frost Relic, Resonance Disk, Queen’s Gland, Mired Urn.
Prismatically Aligned
Complete a Prismatic Trial.
How to cheese it:
Not cheeseable, BUT search up Cabbagge on youtube, he always does videos on how to win efficiently the Prismatic trial of the day. You will also need him for the Mercenary achievement. His yt channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/Cabbage123 – [youtube.com]
The Long Road
Complete 20 stages in a single run
How to cheese it:
100% play on drizzle if you want to do this fast, i reccommend crit build with a lot of lifesteal and defensive items, but play how you like.. it will take at least 30minutes so you have to enjoy the run.
You can use mods that insta-charge the teleporter when you kill the stage boss, so you do not have to wait that long.. its useful if you tried multiple times already and didnt get it.
Commando: Incorruptible
As Commando, clear 20 stages in a single run without picking up any Lunar items
How to cheese it:
copypaste long road achievement.
Blackout
Defeat the unique guardian of Gilded Coast without any beacons deactivating.
How to cheese it:
Not really a way to cheese it but, you can pick heavy damage survivors to kill Aurelionite fast enough. For example, Captain, Engineer, Rex.
Ascendant
Defeat the Teleporter bosses after activating 2 Shrines of the Mountain.
How to cheese it:
You cant, just wait until 2 shrines of the mountain appear at the same time. Be prepared to deal with multiple enemies with AoE damage and some defensive items.
Last achievements added.
How to cheese it:
With Artifact of Command get lots of Backup Magazines, spam your abilities and rightclick.
Bandit: Sad*st
As Bandit, kill a monster with 20 stacks of Hemorrhage.
How to cheese it:
With Artifact of Command get 19 Backup Magazines, spam your rightclick on a high-hp boss.
Bandit: Classic Man
As Bandit, successfully use ‘Lights Out’ to reset your cooldowns 15 times in a row.
How to cheese it:
Use Artifact of Swarms, pick some crowbars and get to shooting.

Escape the Planetarium or complete wave 50 in Simulacrum.
How to cheese it:
Choose the gamemode straight out of the main menu and play it on Drizzle lol
Railgunner: Marksman

How to cheese it:

How to cheese it:
DRIZZLE, use Artifact of Command. Grab only Crowbars, 100% crit, 4 Shaped Glass, and lots of Infusions so Shaped glass doesnt leave you with 1hp, you should always be around 100hp and have either a void teddy or a Oddly shaped Opal to safely take one hit once in a while. You should do it in between 40minutes- 60 depending on how slow you are on collecting items. Laser Scope also helps a lot if u end up with a red item.
Captain: Smushed
As Captain, kill the final boss using a Supply Beacon
How to cheese it:
MULTIPLE ACHIEVEMENTS IN SAME RUN
Maximize achievements per run, get 100% quickly as possible. For achievement hunters, or people who are already lots of hours into RoR2 and dont need more.
The reason why you can get multiple achievements is because they either 1- share items on the build needed , 2- have very similar requisites, 3- are different but they are completed at very proximate stages or events in any run. Lets get started.
With CTRL + F you can copy-paste the name of the achievements mentioned below to see the cheesy tips and understand why u should ( or could ) try to do them all together.
