Chained Beasts Achievement Guide: Unlock Every Trophy

Tackling every achievement in this brutal gladiatorial roguelike takes serious dedication, from mastering crowd interactions to surviving punishing high-difficulty runs. This Chained Beasts achievement guide walks you through every single trophy requirement, breaking down complex challenges like beating Carthage without taking damage or keeping battle time under twenty minutes. You will find clear strategies for arena combat, execution milestones, boss mechanics, and completionist goals so you know exactly what to prepare for before stepping into the sand.

Getting tripped up on obscure goals like maxing out afflictions or buying out the merchant’s entire stock can easily waste hours of progress. This walkthrough details every prerequisite step, recommended beast selection, and hidden requirement across all acts to streamline your path to 100% completion. Jump straight to the specific sections you need or follow the structured breakdown to conquer the arena efficiently.

Before diving into the list, make sure you understand the core mechanics of chain manipulation and environmental hazards, as many late-game achievements rely entirely on positioning enemies near traps and catapults. Bring patience and adapt your beast choices depending on whether you need raw speed or heavy defensive shielding.

How to Unlock All Achievements in Chained Beasts

Destruction of Property

Break at least ten obstacles in a round

I look for barrels, pots, haystacks, palisades, and other breakable objects scattered around the arena. I take a heavier flail and break at least ten obstacles in one round.

Pincushion

Make at least ten shells stick out of me at the same time

When I go to Carthage, where elite enemies throw spears, I choose the Rhinoceros for its shield strength, equip a shield, and block incoming spears until at least ten shells stick out of me at once.

Pop!

Crush an opponent with my chain

When an enemy falls onto my chain, I run around him to tighten the chain around his body and crush him.

Trip Master

Knock down 100 enemies with my chain

During battles, I use the chain to knock down enemies. I keep using this mechanic until I have knocked down 100 enemies.

Ultra Damage

Perform a Backstab Crit while in Enrage

I learn talents that grant rage and increase my critical strike chance. I use the enraging somersault to get behind an enemy instantly while entering a state of rage, then perform a critical backstab.

Fast and Furious

Stay awake for at least 30% of a round

I learn and maintain my Alert talents to stay awake during combat. Some Beasts are naturally better at staying alert, such as the Goat.

Fired Up

Burn for at least 10% of the round

I go to Germany, where huge bonfires are scattered around the arena. Since fire does not deal much damage, I enter the flames and quickly deal with enemies while burning.

Fire Pro

Make the wrestler catch fire while trying to jump on me

I find the hand-to-hand wrestlers in Germany. They attack by throwing themselves at me, so I lure one toward the fire. When he prepares to dash at me, I move into the flames and make him catch fire.

Don’t Look Up

Make an enemy die from a catapult shot during a siege

I fight the Prefect in Rome and lure an enemy under a catapult shot. So, I make sure the projectile hits and kills the enemy.

Gold Medal

Throw a weapon at least 20 metres before it hits an opponent

When I look for an enemy at a long distance, I throw a weapon from at least twenty metres away. If I struggle to hit the target, I try using the Eagle.

Down the Line

Hit every enemy in a formation with one attack

I go to Rome and look for groups of three enemies moving in formation. I use one powerful attack to hit all three at once. Besides, I learn the talent that strengthens the chain and allows it to deal damage when knocking enemies down, then use the chain to hit the entire formation.

Formation Breaker

Trip every opponent in a formation

I look for formations of spearmen, as they often dash forward. I use a partner who is chained to me and move in opposite directions when the spearmen charge, tightening the chain and knocking down the entire formation.

Whirling Dervish

Spin the flail without stopping for at least ten seconds

I use the flail’s special charged attack. I improve my stamina with potions, talents, and purchases to reduce the cost of performing actions. Then I spin the flail continuously for ten seconds without hitting enemy shields.

Drive By

Hit at least three enemies with one wheel

I look for cart wheels scattered around the arenas and throw one into a group of enemies. If I struggle to hit three enemies at once, I try using the Eagle.

Arena Gods

Stampede

Make the rhinoceros trample the tamer Barka

I fight Barka until he loses two-thirds of his health. His rhinoceros then throws him to the ground and begins wandering around the arena.

I reduce Barka’s health to a minimum and anger the rhinoceros. When it charges at me, I step aside and let it trample the guards and kill Barka.

Deep Impact

Make Goliath kill his ally with a Punch Jump

I wait for Goliath to perform his powerful jumping attack, where he slams his huge log into the ground. I lure one of his allies into the landing spot and let Goliath kill him with the attack.

Clearing the Skies

Destroy the catapult before the Prefect retreats

I fight the Prefect, who uses a catapult for protection. When he loses one-third of his health, he begins to retreat. I run to the catapult despite the enemy’s attacks and kill the soldier operating it before the Prefect escapes.

Turning the Tide

Knock down the Master Chainbearer with his own flail

I learn the skill that makes projectiles fall at my feet after I block them with my shield. I find the Master Chainbearer in Germany and wait for him to spin his flail and throw it at me. I block the throw with my shield, pick up his flail, and use it to knock him down.

Feast in the Yellow Circle of the Arena

X / L / C / D / M

Kill 10 / 50 / 100 / 500 / 1000 enemies

Throughout my runs, I keep fighting and killing enemies. These achievements unlock automatically as I reach each required kill count.

Thumbs Down

Execute 100 opponents

I knock down enemies and wait for the red sword icon to appear above them. I approach and perform an execution. I repeat this until I have executed 100 opponents.

This Was a Mistake

Execute an enemy with an explosive barrel

Before performing an execution, I find a red explosive barrel and pick it up. I use the barrel to finish off a fallen enemy.

Two For One

Kill at least two enemies with a single attack

I weaken two or more enemies and lure them close together. Then I use a powerful attack with a hand-drawn axe or throw a red barrel at them to kill both with one attack.

No Ammo? No Problem!

Kill an enemy with an empty bow

I use the standard bow, which has three arrows, and look for an enemy with very low health. I make sure my final shot kills the enemy.

Stop Hitting Yourself

Kill an opponent with his own hand

I choose the Wolf and use a sharp sword to cut off an enemy’s hand. Then I pick up the severed hand and hit the enemy with it to get the achievement.

Entrapment

Kill an enemy by throwing him onto a spike plate

I look for spike plate traps in the arena. I weaken an enemy and use my chain to knock him down. Once he is on the ground, I grab him and throw him onto the spike plate to finish him off.

Stick Around

Impale an opponent on a wall of spikes

Go to Germany, where walls covered in spikes appear in the arena. I weaken an enemy, knock him down, grab him, and throw him against the spikes.

Who’s The Boss

Kill a boss within 10 seconds of first damaging them

I use an ally to make this easier and choose Goliath, the second boss, because he charges straight into battle. I build up rage and use talents that increase my critical strike chance. As soon as I damage him, I unleash my strongest attacks and try to finish him within ten seconds.

Weapon Master

Get a kill with every type of item

I experiment with different items and use each one to kill enemies. Some items must be purchased from the Merchant. I check the Codex to track my progress and see which items I still need to use.

Pay Attention

Die from an object thrown by the crowd

Wait until the crowd becomes bored and starts throwing stones and other objects into the arena. I stay exposed and hope one of the objects hits and kills me.

Chain Beasts! What’s Your Craft?!

Ludus

No Rest Day

Train until you are exhausted

I play on the second difficulty, where I can continue training until exhaustion. I keep training until the achievement notification appears.

Suffer the maximum level of every affliction

I make sure every affliction reaches its maximum level of three skulls at least once during my run. I check the Codex to track which afflictions I have already maxed out.

Talented

Learn every skill

I keep track of every talent I learn. After each training session, I choose a talent I have not learned before, even if I do not need it. I check the Codex to see which talents are still missing.

Moneybags

Buy all the Merchant’s goods at once

In one visit, I purchase all eight items from the Merchant. I complete the slave owner’s tasks and entertain the crowd to earn extra coins.

I also use the Lion or Wolf to benefit from their coin-increasing abilities. I save my money during the first two visits to the Merchant and try to survive until the third visit with enough coins to buy everything.

Collector

Purchase every type of item from the Merchant

I purchase at least one of every type of item the Merchant offers. I keep a list of what I have already bought and check the Codex to track my progress.

Majority Stakeholder

Earn at least 400 coins in one run, excluding allies’ income

I keep the crowd entertained and complete the slave owner’s tasks whenever possible. I drink potions, learn talents, and buy items that increase my income.

I also use the Lion or Wolf to earn extra coins. I avoid spending money at the Merchant and focus on surviving long enough to reach 400 coins.

Dead Weight

Amputate a limb

Visit the Surgeon and undergo an operation that removes one of my limbs. I choose a suitable surgery and continue until I lose a limb and unlock the achievement.

Scholarly

Discover every Codex entry

I continue playing and unlocking entries in the Codex until every entry has been discovered. I check the Codex regularly to find anything I have missed.

It Is Much Easier to Wash Off Dirt Than Blood

Find Glory!

Can’t Stand the Heat / Out of the Cold / Rebel Leader

Complete Carthage / Complete Germany / Reach the Senate

I complete the corresponding act and defeat its boss. Each achievement unlocks after I finish its required stage.

Untouchable

Complete Carthage without taking any damage

I choose the Goat because of his speed and agility, which help me dodge attacks. The hardest part is the boss fight against Barka. I stay away from the bushes and avoid breaking green pots so I do not take unexpected damage.

Untrained

Win a run without levelling up at the Trainer

I play on the second difficulty, where I can refuse training. I avoid levelling up at the Trainer throughout the entire run and complete the race without taking any training upgrades.

Overtrained

Win a run after reaching level 20 at the Trainer

I play on the second difficulty and take additional classes from the Trainer until I reach level 20. I continue through the run and win to unlock the achievement.

A Quick Escape

Win a run while spending fewer than 20 minutes in battles

I choose powerful Beasts and talents that deal heavy damage. I move through each arena quickly and use a strong ally to help defeat enemies and bosses faster. I keep my total time spent in battles below twenty minutes and win the run.

Medical Marvel

Complete a run with twenty or more skulls of afflictions

Each affliction can reach a maximum of three skulls. I drink potent medicines that cause severe afflictions, accept contracts from the Steward in every arena, and deliberately fail to fulfil them so there are consequences.

After each arena, I visit the Surgeon and undergo operations that increase existing afflictions or add new ones. I keep accumulating afflictions until I have at least twenty skulls.

Ultra Hydrated

Win a run while only ever drinking water

Drink only water throughout the entire run and avoid every other drink or potion. I make sure I have at least 20 lives whenever I want to drink water, as this is the requirement for drinking it. I continue through the arenas and win the run without drinking anything else.

Complete a run on Primipile difficulty to unlock the final Beast. I check the Codex to make sure every Beast has been unlocked.
