Intro
Welcome to my achievement guide for DROS. This is an awesome action platformer. None of the achievements is missable and completion takes around 14 hours. You can always go back into a level, so really none of the achievements is missable. So feel free to first play the game however you like and after that come back to find the missing achievements through the help of this guide.
To get all the achievements you’ll have to find all the Journal entries, complete all the level objectives, and finish each level without really killing any dros, only defeating them is allowed.
I would recommend doing at least 2 runs for each level. First, focus on finding everything and make sure you finish the first 3 objectives in each level:
– Finish a level with enough prima
– Find all the blood rocks
– Find the Moderat.
Directly after that, I would recommend going back to the same level to finish the speed run that is required for each level, because at this moment you’ll still remember how to finish the level and that way you easily can complete it. In that run I would also recommend focussing on not really killing enemies, ignoring most, and if you must only defeat their shell but don’t defeat the dros itself. If you did this correctly you’ll see no black “dros/blood” kinda stuff anymore on the right side of the level selection menu. If you failed that part for whatever reason, I would again recommend going back into that level directly, just because you still remember how to finish it quickly.
Next to the complete everything achievements, there are also a few very challenging speedrun achievements. To make this easier, check out this guide by Toxic Larva
At the end of the game, if you’re missing Journal entries the other guide made by Toxic Larva can help you out. You can check in your own journal which section/level the entry can be found and then check out the guide to find it.
Check out the rest of this guide for more information about the achievements. Each section is sorted on the overworld they are in. I hope you’ll enjoy DROS as much as I did and that you’ll be able to unlock all the achievements.
