Titan Souls - 100% Achievement Guide

Foreword
Disclaimer:
None of the videos featured in this guide are made by me! I'll add the names of the original publisher above each video. Will be quite a few, since I tried to find the best video for each purpose.

Here's the full list in advance:
6oliath, b0_omser, Celulith, Federico Nadur, Gage Rolles, Gaja Chaos, HarryNinetyFour, Jordon Begg, Kojiamko, Noob Gaming, Scrublord, Star, Thommie Karlsson, Алексей Сухаров

Usually, I don't like video guides, but this game is so dependent on near perfect timing, that videos simply are required for this one.

Be aware, that you're limited to one kill for each titan per playthrough, while all titan related achievements are optional. Meaning you have to start a new playthrough, if you miss an achievement. Not really tragic, since you can run straight to the required bosses, once you finished the prologue (<- 5-10min), but still rather annoying.

This guide will only feature videos for achievement related fights.

If you're here, because you struggle against an titan, and not because you're searching for tipps on achievements, than go to this awesome guide of shadowspaz instead, which shows the easiest methods for every boss in normal mode.

Interestingly, this section is free of achievements...
Why is this here, then? Because the two bosses featured here ARE needed to unlock the true final boss, which IS achievement related. They're also two really easy titans, for all the specific condition runs from the last section of this guide. So here we go:

I'll be honest... I wasn't able to pull this reliably. Just play the fight for a while, until you get this... Sorry.
Just to make sure: I've found sources saying, that you need to kill yourself by pulling a lightningized arrow to yourself. That's wrong. This achievement will be awarded, once your lightningized arrow and his arrow collide.

I managed to do this by a combination of the following two videos.
For the first arrow of the Titan, use the block strategy of video 1, for his second arrow the misdirection of video 2:

TRUTH

Truth
???
Beat the hidden final boss, which only becomes available after slaying
all other titans in the game.

This one has NO achievement apart from "kill it" and is NOT needed for Hard Mode and No Roll Mode. Also easy enough to figure him out. So no videos required for this one.

Moving Face, First Titan, Chest, Rock'n'Roll, Lava Blob, Teeth, Underwater

Note, that you only need to kill 7 of the 12 available titans in the 5 areas in order to open the second gate. Plus the 4 prologue titans, the guardian and finally the soul, while the hidden final boss - Truth - is not required. That makes 13/19.
I gave my personal recommendations for each achievement above.

For the 20min run:
After you've successfully pierced an enemy's weakpoint and pulled out the arrow, you can save time by pressing Alt+F4 (instant close of the focused application) during the soul absorption animation.
Because the game saves just before the animation, which takes about 15sec for each boss. Restarting the game lets you spawn at the last checkpoint, minus those 15 seconds. For 12 bosses prior to the last, that's 12 * 15 = 180sec = 3min time save. Neat.

Also, 20min is easily enough to visit all 5 areas, especially, if you follow my advice for the Iron Mode achievements just below (optional).
Using the method above, I did it in 18m40sec with 15 deaths, so those are allowed, too.

Alright, this right here is actually the reason, why I even bothered to create this guide.
The following may sound obvious, but nobody told me about it and since I almost didn't think about it and put the game off as finished with only 24/27 achievements, here I am to tell you.
Everything else was just for completion, but this is it:

You can backup your save files to counter Iron Mode's restart...
This is cheap, and some people will hate me for telling you, but here is how it's done:

Navigate to the following path or wherever else you installed Steam:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Titan Souls\data\SAVE

Here you will find 4 files: 0.txt, 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt.

Now, start Iron Mode. Kill the first titan. Open your ingame menu and quit to the start menu. Now select your slot and you'll spawn right atop the last visited save point.
Now tab out of the game (Alt + Tab), copy the corresponding .txt file and save it somewhere else.
Click back into the game and just continue playing. Repeat the process above for every slain titan.
Kill - back to start menu - start slot - tab out - copy paste - continue game.

If you die, go back to the start menu, tab out, copy your backup and paste it into the path mentioned above. Voilà, back at the last save with all of your killed titans saved. You don't even need to restart the game.

It's easy, works perfectly and only requires about 10-15 more seconds per death, than normally.

Thanks for this guide.

If anyone is having trouble with the icebergs for in Freezing Mountains, just a heads up you can group them up before you even start the fight and get a big lead on them coming back.

Thank goodness for this guide. Now I understand why the percentage for the rarest achievements were 1.5%; it's because of this guide.

If I had integrity, I would never have gotten the iron achievements. I can say I can beat the game on Hard Mode at least :wolf_swag:

Just a heads up for anyone planning to 100% this, the "Iron Titan" achievement requires for you to beat the game in Iron Mode + Hard Mode. My illiterate ass thought i just needed to beat The Soul twice on the same save file. Hopefully will save you guys an extra playthrough :).

Great guide! Want to add one thing: "Meaning you have to start a new playthrough, if you miss an achievement" actually you don't need to. Killing a titan counts only when you pull an arrow out, so even if you kill a titan you can simply reload last save and try again. Thanks for your work, helped me a lot!
