DRAGON QUEST XI S Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition

Spoiler-light missables guide and 100% Steam achievements expectations

1 playthrough

Overview & Strategy

There are no missables, so you can play at your own pace and finish the remaining achievements in the post game or even after beating the true ending boss. Aiming for the true ending and experiencing everything the game has to offer aligns well with the achievements, which makes this list satisfying overall. The casino and level grind can be tedious if you do not know the best tricks, but most of the list is built around normal progression and fun gameplay. [Dedicated Follower of Fashion] can be one of the tougher achievements because it requires defeating the optional post-game super boss and collecting every costume, some of which are easier to find than others. While you play the base game, buy as many costumes as you can, loot everything, and break vases to ease post-game cleanup. That said, you can still play however you want.
