The Last Hero of Nostalgaia - Achievements Not Triggering

[summer gorge]

If you are experiencing achievements not triggering in The Last Hero of Nostalgaia - please comment in this thread the achievement name and platform playing on!

[wild quest]

playing on pc steam, none of them work, tried a bunch of stuff seeing if it was bcz i played the demo or the steam cloud but nothing works

however my brother who got himself the game in the same condition does have achievements working

it might be because i made changes to the settings while in the demo, the changes carried on when i bought the full game with the dlc

[summer gorge]

Can you give me an example of any of the achievements names that should have unlocked for you? and can I check if -any- achievements have unlocked, or absolutely zero

[fickle marsh]

Simple achievements that was expected to be guaranteed like "Achievement" "It's a souls like" and "The Threshold" don't trigger, so probably all achievements wont trigger 😢

[summer gorge]

Thank you! I'm passing this onto the devs and they can investigate further - I'm really sorry to see the achievements aren't working!!! I'll keep this thread updated with any news from devs.
For anyone new joining, please feel free to post if you are also experiencing the same issue - makes it easier to ping you once this is resolved!

[mild grotto]

Same here, not a single achievement has triggered, not even the one for dying the first time

[random basin]

Got the demo, I liked it so I bought the game, started playing and the achievements don't work, I should have gotten Roguelike, Such Salt, It's a Souls-like, The Threshold, Memory Challenge by now. Playing on PC Steam

[bold loom]

Alas, also bought the game with a friend and the achives don't work, not at all. 😦

[frank bloom]

Also experiencing the same issue, cant get any achievements to pop, like "It's a Soulslike", "Achievement", "The Threshold", "Memory Challenge", or "Such Salt"

just got the game +dlc during the sale yesterday

[patent plinth]

same here achievement not triggering...NO ONE

[copper oriole]

same problem here i tried the solutions on the other threads erasing the save files or redowloading like 3 times with no effect

[rocky trench]

same here, didnt get even the first death achievments, help 😦

[dire thunder]

I never got the 404 trophy on PS5 - knowing the exact requirements would help. Googling revealed it's for playing for over 4 hours?

Many people reported issues with this one, some only got it after starting a completely new save file.

[summer gorge]

Hey thanks for all the comments everyone - I've read and noted everyone's achievements listed but I'm missing a few platforms - to make it easy to track, if everyone could emoji the platform they are playing on and experiencing the achievement issue, that would be very appreciated! Thanks
1️⃣ Xbox One
2️⃣ Xbox Series X/S
3️⃣ Nintendo Switch
4️⃣ PlayStation 4
5️⃣ PlayStation 5

@summer gorge Any information ? :0

[summer gorge]

🤞 I'm speaking to the devs this afternoon, hold tight! I will update this post ASAP once I've got the news

[summer gorge]

The devs believe they have found the issue! its still being confirmed, but a fix is in the work and more info to come.

We still need a little bit more time for a fix confirmation, but it's coming!

I'm having trouble with "A Guide Isn't Cheating" on PS5, I'm hitting the right tree, like a 100 times now, restarted the game and tried again, cant guarantee they were consecutive as I keep missing (or it not registering with the noise/movement), am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I've managed 35ish consecutive, trying different weapons, no luck, definitely the right tree, saw a clip online of someone else getting it

Edit 2: I deleted and redownloaded the game, I had the DLC installed but removed it, tried again, still no luck 😦

[dire thunder]

That's weird, I've been following the bugs in the game quite closely but haven't seen this one being a thing. I was following a video guide too, iirc there are 2 platforms with trees close to each other, are you at the right one?

Btw, I remember getting the trophy after 5 hits or so, so you definitely don't need to hit it that much😁

[static nymph]

Yeah I even found this YouTube Short to make sure I was hitting the right one, I go back every so often to just keep hitting it in case I just did it wrong somehow?!

Hi again, having an issue getting the "Fully Formatted" trophy on PS5 now, I did have to restart the game to get the all spells trophy but I do have that one now, but for collecting the 25 runes in the base game, I've not got, I tried restarting, deleting the game, reinstalling, reinstalling the DLC after keeping it separate, equipping all the runes, but no luck so far! Anything that will fix it?

Edit: I'm saved at presumably the end, beaten the last great one and been told that I can challenge the final boss as part of The Innocent quest line (Old Man is in the Heart)

I have the DLC but not sure if I can start that with the trophies bugging out? Don't want to accidentally lock myself out of them, or to start my next play through to Unburden if it will affect things?

[dire thunder]

I seem to be the only one who can't get the trophy for unburdening everything (also PS5), because in my game, Nhero doesn't accept the unburdened Shield of Inspiration to progress his quest, which in turn is necessary to access Blade the Bold's armor set. Can you let me know if it works in yours? I made a separate thread about it here, too😄

[static nymph]

Yeah I haven't started the next play through yet, do you know if you can do it NG+?

[dire thunder]

I think it should be doable, I've done 2 playthroughs, but no NG+
Trying to figure out this oddity now before playing again. It's probably an oversight in the PS5 version, because I can't think of anything else it could be.

[static nymph]

yeah I'm tempted to hold off in case I mess up the ability to get those two trophies (and any others)

[wild quest]

hello me and my brother backstabbed vengeance during the first encounter and she died instead of smoke bombing away so i wondered if we threw the questline out the window or if it's still ok

[patent plinth]

Any news about a fix? I’m whaiting that for playing

[summer gorge]

The achievements not triggering issues should now be FIXED ✅

When triggering the achievement needs, you should now be able to successfully unlock the achievement 😸

Please ensure any pending updates are installed before next launching your game.

If anyone is unable to trigger achievements, please add a comment with your achievement, platform and what is happening into this megathread! Thank you

[static nymph]

Hi there, any word when this will be implemented on PS5? I've double checked the trophies I'm not able to unlock (listed below) and still no luck

Fully Formatted (Actually have an additional rune now from the DLC, but still no trophy)
A Guide Isn't Cheating (Attempted to hit the tree again, still no luck)

The game is fully updated

[cyan mesa]

GG @static nymph, you just advanced to level 1!

[dire thunder]

Weird, I've gotten Fully Formatted on PS5 without any issues one or two patches ago, but I remember missing a rune behind a fake wall in the final part of the game (after the boulders and swinging axes) 😁

[static nymph]

I've checked lists and whatnot, got 25 base runes, +1 DLC rune currently, tried equipping them all, etc. no luck

[stuck verge]

Any way to get achievements without REplay if i played on broken version before?

[summer gorge]

Sadly no, you'll need to to retrigger the achievements for them to unlock in the updated version

[static nymph]

So I've encountered another issue, so now I have had the following trophies not appear.

"Fully Formatted" (I have all 25 runes, plus the 2 DLC)

"A Guide Isn't Everything" (I have gone back to make sure I didn't do it wrong, hit the tree a lot, made sure its the right one, different weapons, etc.)

"The Ideaologue" This one is the most recent, even though just beforehand I got "The Traditionalist", I had been putting them both off but wanted to play before losing interest in the game.
(Ode to a Blacksmith and Forensics both popped afterwards)

It''s on PS5, on the latest version (1.000.004), it's quite frustrating and disheartening because even trying again from scratch won't guarantee they'll pop, which is a shame as I've enjoyed the game but it puts me off trying for other trophies (Speedrun, unburdening run) despite being curious of the other playthough)

EDIT: I continued, and whilst I unlocked trophies in between, I found another that didn't pop, which was;

"The Rise and Fall of Evil" (particularly painful as a lot has to be done to try this one again)

So Four un-popped on the first playthrough sob

[dire thunder]

For me, Ideaologue didn't pop after defeating Eve😫 I then put the game down after finding out that remembering all DLC relics requires doing the Innocent questline in the main game, which I didn't do this playthrough 😕

At least I finally got the platinum 🤣

[cyan mesa]

GG @dire thunder, you just advanced to level 4!

[static nymph]

Yeah I decided to move on to something else, maybe I'll come back to this game in the future, it's been fun, but the "oh even if you do the thing the game probably won't register it" puts me off trying even an Unburden Run, let alone the third one afterwards (to do Innocent again to get all Runes, then also get those boss trophies again)

[summer gorge]

Im chasing this up with the devs, can absolutely see why its frustrating and disheartening 😿

• Can I double check these are the correct achievements still not working after the most recent update?
  "Fully Formatted", "A Guide Isn't Everything", "The Ideaologue", "The Traditionalist", "The Rise and Fall of Evil"

• Did you get any other achievements that worked successfully in your last playthrough?

[static nymph]

The trophies I do NOT have are;

Attempted but not working as of the last I checked (Version 1.000.004, on 4th September 2024 on PS5)
A Guide Isn't Cheating
Fully Formatted
The Ideologue
The Rise and Fall of Evil

NOT attempted as it'd need another playthrough
Speed Run
Laid Bare
Blessing of Pain
The Unwanted Savior
The Great One
Mercy

All Other trophies popped, so from those achievable on the first playthrough, 4 didn't (the ones listed above)

[dire thunder]

At the very least, I can confirm the ones you haven't attempted yet work without issues on PS5, so rest easy😎 🍻

[summer gorge]

Awesome, thank you for sharing with me! I've sent this over to the devs and just waiting for their input - I will update this thread once I've got an update ⏳

[south orbit]

Hi, bought the game yesterday, played it for two hours, and the only achievement i got was for 20 backstabs. I definitely died more than once, and i also grinded for 5 levels, died and didn't get "Such Salt". I like the game, but this achievement problem is really bothers me, as i am kind of a completionist.

[frigid halo]

PS5 Patch 1.04.11
I found some trophy bugs on PS5.

• Such Salt: 5 Levels are not enough to get this trophy. I found, that you need 6 or more levels
• I Lit every torch: Since patch 1.04.11 the trophy does no longer apear
• Roguelike: I did more than 100 backstabs but did not get the trophy

[frigid halo]

Edit: I just tried PS4 version. Backstab trophy works, but i did not get the trophy for leveling 5 times at one beacon. It is so annoying. I love this game, but the trophy bugs are a pain in the a**😩

[stone garden]

On PS5, Version 1.000.004.

I had try to defeat the Eve about 10 times at different moment, and I never get the "The Ideologue" trophy,

[stone garden]

And after that, I can't reforge the Evil Sword, I'm already have the Hatred of the Past and successfully reforged the Evil Armor set.

[stone garden]

It's a new game+ bug, I should get the Evil Sword +1 version before I remember the Twisted Virtue of Progress.

[stone garden]

But there's another bug here. I've already defeated The Adversarial, but I haven't get the 'The Rise and Fall of Evil' trophy yet. I'm very sure it's not my fault. I've already achieved 70% of the trophy progress.

[shadow brook]

Yeah, “404” trophy isn’t working as intended if I understand it correctly - 4 hours and 4 mins of game played - up to 38 hours and nothing. This os PS5

Is*

“Fully Formatted” for ps5 also doesn’t work - I collected all runes and the achievement will not pop.

[cyan mesa]

GG @shadow brook, you just advanced to level 1!

[shadow brook]

Version 1.04.11 it says when i start the game

If that helps.

[shadow brook]

Try starting a new game on the version that wasn’t popping the trophy - I found that this worked the second time.

20 backstabs that is on the new file. Might work for you

[shadow brook]

Not having any luck with this either

[dire thunder]

I got the platinum after the last patch a while ago, so it's definitely doable. For the 404, what helped is deleting all save files and iirc, possibly the game data from the console, then I started fresh and just let the game run.

[shadow brook]

Interesting. I’ll give it a. Try

The one that’s giving me the most trouble is the collect all runes - collected them all and no pop.

I’m on my second run and going to try again

Got five left to get, here’s hoping

[shadow brook]

Going to attempt fully formatted again tomorrow.. maybe ill get lucky

[shadow brook]

Gah cant get the ode to a blacksmith to pop.. of course.

I’m fairly certain I got all the armor, now I didn’t collect every single relic, but all the armor sets per steam i have.

Very strange

I saved the bikini for last.. and I’ve cloud backed up several times and tried again and nothing

Ironically, the rune one popped..

I dont necessarily have all the shields.. i dont think but i was fairly certain that wasn’t apart of the achiement

[cyan mesa]

GG @shadow brook, you just advanced to level 2!

[shadow brook]

Wonder if i need to collect all relics and then try to pop it again.. just would be missing swords and a few shields.. but theyre not armor. Or does it count as such..

[shadow brook]

All 75 relics gotten, not all remembered but still didn’t pop

[summer gorge]

Hi everyone, just wanted to make it clear that we are still collecting any issues for achievements not working correctly! It's an ongoing process to investigate and work out what is causing these issues - thank you for your patience!

[summer gorge]

Hi everyone, **a PlayStation patch has gone out this morning, this should hopefully resolve any trophy not unlocking issue! **
In theory, any trophy previously earned but did not unlock, should now unlock. If for any reasons it doesn't, you may have to try to the criteria to unlock it again, but it should unlock successfully for PlayStation console.
Let me know if you are still experiencing any unlock issues on PlayStation console!

[stone garden]

I don't know why, but I still can't get the trophy by defeating Eve, maybe because it's New Game Plus?
But thanks to your patch, I will try it on a different day for other trophies.

[cyan mesa]

GG @stone garden, you just advanced to level 1!

[shadow brook]

Eve trophy did not unlock the first time i defeated her

I neeeded to delete game reinstall and run through the game again

But that was before the patch

[gray jackal]

Playing on ps4 but i didn't get every single spell e memory in ng, now in ng+ i have all spells and i don't get the trophy but also the antihero didn't drop a piece of armor +1 so now I'm stuck with an armor i can't remember
