Getting all the achievements in Aragami is pretty clear-cut. This guide rounds up every achievement you can get in the game.
General Note
None of Aragami’s 51 achievements can be missed, but some are only available if you have the Nightfall DLC. So, to reach 100%, you need the DLC. Also, difficulty doesn’t affect achievements, so feel free to tackle them on any setting. Easy difficulty might be handy for certain tricky achievements due to fewer enemies.

Medals
You earn medals by completing specific objectives within each level. However, you can’t snag all 3 medals at once due to the conflicting ‘Oni’ and ‘Kami’ medals. So, plan for multiple runs on each chapter to nab them all.
Yurei Medals
To score Yurei medals, stay completely undetected. Just to clarify, this means avoiding triggering the horn that signals the whole camp. Being sneaky (Yellow) or a bit suspicious (Orange) won’t ruin your chances for the Yurei Medal.
Just the wind
Obtained a ‘Yurei’ medal
Ghost
Obtain all ‘Yurei’ medals
Oni Medals
Oni medals are all about wiping out every single enemy on the level, including guards and archers. Whether you’re caught or not doesn’t matter here. As long as there’s not a single foe left breathing when you’re done, you secure the Oni Medal.
No witnesses
Obtained a ‘Oni’ medal
God of Death
Obtain all ‘Oni’ medals
Kami Medals
Now, Kami medals flip the script entirely. You’ve got to get through the level without harming a single guard. This one’s tough, especially compared to Oni. For a smoother ride, try it on Easy mode since there are fewer enemies to tiptoe past.
There’s always a choice
Obtained a ‘Kami’ medals
Pacifist
Obtain all ‘Kami’ medals
Collectibles
In every chapter, except for Chapter 13, you’ll find hidden scrolls scattered across the level. Sure, you could meticulously search every nook and cranny, or you could gradually power up Kurosu (the crow) to level 3, granting you the ability to detect Hidden Knowledge Scrolls. Bagging all the scrolls and mastering every skill isn’t just for show either; there are achievements waiting for those who rise to the challenge.
Apprentice
Find a Scroll
Shadow Master
Find all Scrolls

Aragami Skills
These achievements hinge on acquiring specific skills, which are acquired by collecting scrolls (refer to the previous section) and can be unlocked either by pressing F1 or accessing the pause menu.
The first step
Unlock a Skill
Almighty
Unlock all Skills
God Eater
Use ’Shinen’ to swallow 3 guards at the same time
To unlock this achievement, place Shinen on the ground and lure three guards to investigate your position. When they gather nearby, activate Shinen to draw them in, and voila, the achievement is yours.
Wombo Combo
Concatenate multiple stealth kills
For this achievement, you’ll need to swiftly execute two stealth kills back-to-back. Head to Chapter 3 (equipped with the Kurosuna skill) and sneak past the initial enemies until you encounter two chatting individuals.
Equip the Kurosuna skill (shadow blind) and approach the pair without alerting them. Getting closer makes spamming the action button easier.
Blind both enemies by pressing E (ensure they both have the red mark above their heads) and rapidly press the space bar to dispatch them simultaneously, earning the Wombo Combo achievement.
The skill in question:
The Darkness
Perform your first Shadow Kill
Before attempting this achievement, unlock the Shadow Kill under Aragami Skills. This ability sends enemies to the Shadow Realm upon killing them, activated by holding down the designated kill key.
Once you’ve unlocked the skill, use it on any enemy to trigger the achievement. Despite its name, Shadow Kill doesn’t attract enemies unless they spot you. For safety, target an isolated guard.
Aggressive Climbing
Perform a Ledge Kill
Before diving into ledge-killing antics, players need to unlock the skill within the Aragami Skills tree. This nifty skill enables immediate stealth kills on foes near ledges by shadow leaping to said ledge.
Once acquired, any successful ledge kill triggers the achievement. Just remember, a kill qualifies as a ledge kill if: a) arrows point upwards during the shadow leap, and b) it’s highlighted in red.
Just that, but red.
Up and Down
Perform a Ceiling Kill
While it’s unclear if the Ledge Kill skill is mandatory, the kill conditions hint at its necessity. Nonetheless, you can bag this achievement by shadow leaping to the ceiling, transforming it into an Aerial Kill, preferably in Chapter 1.
At a certain point, you’ll encounter the Aerial Kill tutorial before entering a house.
Inside, a patrolling guard awaits, providing the perfect opportunity to utilize the right-side ceiling, where the guard pauses momentarily.
Once the guard halts in the room, gaze upward at the ceiling and prep for a Shadow Leap. You’ll notice the dot turning red with a glowing red spot on the ceiling, instead of the usual blue. The kill icon will also pop up, signaling your chance for the achievement.
Ceiling Kill achieved!
Miscellaneous
These achievements are typically attainable during regular gameplay, although some may necessitate specific setups or appear only in chapters where certain items exist.
Face Off
Get killed by an arrow while throwing a ‘Kunai’
To pull off this achievement, unlock the ‘Kunai’ skill first. Then, provoke an archer into alert mode (Orange) and time your throw to hit them after they’ve fired their arrow, resulting in both your demise.
Dishonored
Die while performing a stealth kill
Achieving this one is straightforward: execute a stealth kill on one guard while alerting another! Your swift stabbing skills are crucial here, so it’s all about how quickly the second guard spots you. You can utilize the two individuals from Chapter 3, previously used for the Wombo Combo achievement. Killing one triggers the other, earning you the achievement upon their demise.
Aragami!? Aragami!!
Die. Again. And again.
Simply put, rack up numerous deaths. While it’s uncertain whether the manner of demise matters, let’s focus on the Kaiho method here. After dying a few times consecutively, the achievement will unlock.
Gravity Rush
Perform an aerial kill from a 10m height
The simplest method for this achievement is to locate an archer tower and perform an aerial kill on a guard from there. In levels like the Military District or those with similar layouts, archer towers tend to be tall and facilitate this maneuver. Alternatively, the taller archer towers in the forest also suffice.
Their own medicine
Use an explosive light to kill a guard
In later chapters, Kaiho guards start deploying explosive lights, those floating spherical objects scattered around the level. Typically, they’re drawn toward you and detonate upon proximity. Your task is to ensure a guard is nearby when it detonates. I managed to pull this off in Chapter 10 (Military District).
As you cross the bridge, you’ll spot a ball of light to your left. Lure some guards there (three in the opening area) to accomplish this feat.
Utilize the Kurosuna skill to briefly blind the guards (a necessary step to avoid becoming a ghostly casualty) before setting off the explosive light, ensuring you take down two guards with you in the process.
Lights out
Destroy a Light Orb
This achievement will likely unlock organically throughout the game since destroying light orbs is integral to unlocking doors and lowering light barriers. If, by some rare chance, you haven’t snagged this achievement by the game’s conclusion, it might be time for me to take notes on Kaiho evasion techniques from you.
I don’t care!
Skip a cinematic
Simple and to the point: During any cinematic sequence, hold down the space key to skip it. Fortunately, there shouldn’t be any cinematics you can’t skip, making this achievement a breeze to accomplish at any point in the game.
Troll
Make a guard suspicious 3 times in a row
Guards exhibit suspicion with a question mark or a yellow circle above their heads (assuming you’ve marked them). In response, they’ll investigate the disturbance, whether it’s caused by bells or your stealthy maneuvers. To earn the achievement, trigger this investigative pattern three times on a single Kaiho guard.
Nightfall (DLC)
As mentioned earlier, to achieve 100% completion, you’ll need the Nightfall DLC, which introduces 12 additional achievements to the game.
Fading Shadows
Complete Nightfall: Chapter I
The Soul Alchemist
Complete Nightfall: Chapter II
Hunting for Answers
Complete Nightfall: Chapter III
The Fall
Complete Nightfall: Chapter IV
Invisible
Obtain all “Yurei” medals in “Nightfall”
Executor
Obtain all “Oni” medals in “Nightfall”
Surprisingly, the Oni medal is trickier to obtain in Nightfall, primarily due to Chapter II, which features a timed section. This calls for a more aggressive approach, requiring players to eliminate guards before a messenger passes through a light barrier. To tackle this, follow Dampfsalzig’s advice: backtrack after reaching the elevator and destroy the orbs in each section of Chapter II after the messenger has reached the elevator, allowing for easier guard elimination.
Benevolent
Obtain all “Kami” medals in “Nightfall”
Synchrony
Kill two enemies at once with the help of Twin Shadow (Single Player)
This achievement is exclusive to Single Player mode, as Twin Shadow in co-op results in Player A teleporting to Player B’s location. In single player mode, equip the Twin Shadow skill (depicted by two circles). Mark an enemy with the skill but refrain from holding down the button, as it would trigger Hyo or Shinobu to kill the target. Instead, mark one target and eliminate another; hopefully, Hyo/Shinobu will intervene and dispatch your marked target, earning you the achievement.
Explosive Death
Kill 4 or more enemies at once with the Explosive Kunai
In Nightfall, explosive kunais are introduced, which emit a faint purple pulse after being thrown to indicate their presence. A effective method is to lure multiple guards into a building before detonating the kunais. Additionally, you can throw them directly into a wall to attract guards before detonating them.
I Bring You Darkness
Blind 4 or more enemies with a Shadow Grenade
Similar to the explosive kunais, gather multiple guards together before using grenades to maximize their impact.
What Was I Thinking?
Kill the Alchemist’s messenger
One of the more amusing achievements, in Chapter II, opt to eliminate the messenger instead of tailing them. Any method of dispatch will suffice, and the achievement will trigger immediately, resulting in a restart from the checkpoint.
The Shadows Remember
Recover all Nisshoku katanas
Unlike the main game, there’s no Kurosu to assist in locating katanas in Nightfall. You’ll need to find them manually or refer to a guide.
