VA-11 Hall-A :: Achievements + Walkthrough (Simple ver.)
By HEALSLUT
I made this guide a few years back, when there was less info available for this game, and unfortunately never posted it. I know there's a lot more of this sort of thing around for VA-11 Hall-A now, but I really enjoyed the game and making this guide. I hope it's easier to read for some people and that it'll at least help a few of you out! o(*゚▽゚*)o♡

Please enjoy this wonderful game!

[Under Construction] I still need to get photos for some of the characters, sorry~

Basic Tips
Drink Terminology
  • Blending a drink simply requires mixing it for longer than 5 seconds, this is indicated by the mixer moving faster.
  • On the rocks = iced.
  • Big Drinks: Make it with double the ingredients, however if the drink already has more than 10 ingredients it is already big. Karmotrine doesn't count towards the size.
  • OPTIONAL Karmotrine: When a drink includes optional karmo, you can use none or fill to brim, entirely optional. Karmo is what lends to how drunk a person is or isn't.

Achievements
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU START
I didn't write a specific date or save point for the Model Warrior achievements nor did I for any of the purchasing achievements, as it can be done whenever it is convenient to you. Making a few extra save points throughout the game is good in case of human error, and to more easily access achievements you may have missed. For the Model Warrior Julianne achievements, you need to buy both the game console and the game. You can save before doing this and load after you've obtained the respective achievement(s) as to save your money.

Achievements that you'll unlock naturally, throughout the course of the game. If they're not listed here, they're probably listed on the day they unlock. Endings are listed in under Epilogue.

Likely the most difficult achievement in the game if you aren't accustomed to the bullet hell genre. There's a pile of different guides on YouTube for this game now, but THIS ONE [LINK] is the most simple and possibly the earliest one. It mostly involves sticking to one area of the map until the last phase, but feel free to try whatever works for yourself.

Day 7 in guide shows image of Sei, instead of Art. She does not appear there.
Mander Bander 19 Feb, 2024 @ 11:46pm 
Thanks for the guide. You can also make flaming Moai without giving it to your client, the secret character will show up anyway, so you dont need to save before stella at the 17th day
Zotmaster 29 Dec, 2022 @ 7:04pm 
Just give her a Sparkle Star with no Karmotrine twice. Ignore her request for a Bleeding Jane.
Nial 21 Dec, 2022 @ 5:26am 
hmmm, can't manage to make sei to stay longer on day 8 even tho i give her something sweet and non alcoholic, is there any other hidden condition?
Thatoneguy 9 Dec, 2022 @ 10:23am 
On day 4 if you give bettey and deal 2 big beers instead of 2 normal sized ones bettey well ask for a zen star and deal well ask for nothing
Deathwing 15 Feb, 2022 @ 6:40am 
"max karmo and max" in day 2 and 3, means fill the drink with karmotrine?
Nehru_Mountbatten_69 16 Aug, 2021 @ 6:31am 
I'm having a hard time getting the Employee of the month achievement... Can anyone help me??
VinTJ 15 Mar, 2021 @ 4:52am 
thanks for the guide! But I noticed on Day 16, even though the way the end of the day looks that it will either be Dorothy OR Tomcat the Hacker if you served flaming Moai to Alma early like the guide says, in my case somehow BOTH of them showed up in that order. maybe could be edited to "Day ends, OR if you served flaming Moai to Alma" or something. might want to check Day 16 again though. it's just in my case both showed up still.
