The Arena is really tedious though. I disabled hardcore mode for that so that I could save and come back later. I personally can live with that. But its definitely in the "not so fun" area
Bearfax62 21 Jul 2019 07:54
I can also attest to the issue with the Tempest achievement: not me, but a friend of mine also randomly unlocked it in the same area.

My first 200% game. Loved playing through it again after so many years. None of the achievements had issues for me.
Felcome 24 Jul 2020 20:27
Mastered. Thanks for making this fun and very doable to get 200%.
BlueThunder50 17 Oct 2020 00:04
One of my favorite games growing up! I can't believe its been 19 years! Time ain't real!
AlveenKamfort 5 Nov 2020 09:48
Mastered! Thanks for the set. I never knew there was a special event if you went back to visit Dora.
KayaGoldWarrior 8 Apr 2021 14:34
Add da69e10feb7472cdfa7ed76f8183b6bd as hash pls. It works fine!

The sun came out from the clouds, off ofofofof, my life
Sines 6 Nov 2021 15:31
Fun set, had to use the rng manip method to get the last equipements achievement ! End game grind is not that bad, with speed up you can kill tornado lizard + the respawnable boss pretty fast and use the psy crystal to keep your PP topped.
Finkunils 29 Nov 2021 14:59
First game 200% for me hardcore mode yaaashsss!!! Too much funnier with achievements :)
TheRealBillHicks 21 May 2022 17:46
Done! 37th mastery badge.
Elolawyn 16 Aug 2022 14:30
It seems to work on Golden Sun (Spain). Thank you! ¡Gracias!
Elolawyn 23 Aug 2022 21:12
Oh man i was having a lot of fun doing the missing achievements, getting to the end game, executing thos rng manipulation strategies. Now I am stuck before saturos and menardi grinding to level 40. :(
Elolawyn 25 Aug 2022 16:15
Finally mastered. Thank you.
Throgg 22 Sep 2022 05:11
Do You Even Lift? [m] (5) should be moved higher up to match where it is in the story. You can easily miss this one
Elolawyn 22 Sep 2022 05:36
It should be right before poison tail right?
Elolawyn 22 Sep 2022 05:37
Djinn achievements could be moved as well...
Falcus 22 Sep 2022 11:11
Definitely agree on the ordering being tidied up, but why the Djinn ones? Those are fine as is imo otherwise it could get messy with them being split up. None of them are missable either since if you miss the location where you'd normally find them, they become available on the world map later in.
Throgg 22 Sep 2022 12:14
Djinn's arent miss-able so i don't think its necessarily terrible they're all at the end. This one cheevo (do you even lift?) should def be moved to before the Altin flood cheevo and after the Mogall forest one because it is a story cheevo that is missable and it is located at the very end of the story cheevo list.
Tsukuyomi 5 Jan 2023 19:36
Thank you so much for this! One of my favorite games of my childhood, now I can revisit it with achievements! :3
