Part 157

Unlock every achievement in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux! Master the Demon Compendium, all endings, EX Missions, and Lab development.

Alright, so you're aiming to be a completionist in Strange Journey Redux, huh? That's awesome! This section is all about those sweet, sweet achievements you get for really digging deep into the game. We're talking about the 'Records' menu, which tracks your progress in a bunch of different areas. Let's break down how to snag every single one of them.

Records: Events

This part of your Records menu tracks your progress with the game's endings and EX Missions. You'll need to play through the game at least three times to see all the possible endings, so don't stress about getting them all in one go.

• Hymn of Praise

  How to get: Complete the game with the Law ending.

  "Completed the game on the Law path! Were you able to achieve the world you wanted? The finale in the Schwarzwelt changes depending on who sees it. See you next mission!"

• True Intentions

  How to get: Complete the game with the Neutral ending.

  "Completed the game on the Neutral path! ? . See you next mission!"

• The Radiant World of Old

  How to get: Complete the game with the Chaos ending.

  "Completed the game on the Chaos path! ? . See you next mission!"

EX Missions

These are special side missions you can take on. The percentage you see here carries over between New Game+ cycles, so you don't have to finish them all in one playthrough. That's a huge relief, right?

• Schwarzwelt Gofer

  How to get: Complete 10% or more of the total EX Missions available.

  "Completed 10% of the EX Missions! It's a good start, but you're still just an errand boy. Find more EX Missions and complete them."

• Schwarzwelt Fixer

  How to get: Complete 50% or more of the total EX Missions available.

  "Completed 50% of the EX Missions! You've been running around to and fro. The denizens of the Schwarzwelt have come to depend on you."

• Schwarzwelt Don

  How to get: Complete 100% of the total EX Missions available.

  "Completed 100% of the EX Missions! Humans and demons alike owe you such a debt, you're practically the Don of the Schwarzwelt. Walk with your head held high."

  Note: Some EX Missions are tied to specific alignments or only appear in New Game+, so you'll definitely need multiple playthroughs to hit 100%.

Records: Development

This section tracks your progress with upgrading and expanding the facilities at the Lab on the Red Sprite. You'll need to collect Forma to unlock new items, and some of these achievements can only be fully completed in a New Game+.

Item Store / Library / Museum

• Item Store: Collect enough Forma for 10% of the buyable expendables.

  "Item development 10% complete! It seems you were able to obtain quite a lot of materials. Keep upgrading and expanding! 'We're finally lookin' like a real item store!' -Irving"

• Item Library: Collect enough Forma for 50% of the buyable expendables.

  "Item development 50% complete! You've amassed quite a collection. We expect even more from you in the future. 'We're practically an item library now!' -Irving"

  "Item development 100% complete! It seems all possible items have been developed. This is a most impressive accomplishment! 'We're like an item museum! Wait 'til the kids back home see!' -Irving"

Gun Store / Library / Museum

• Gun Store: Collect enough Forma for 10% of the buyable Guns.

• (Note: The source text cuts off before the Gun Museum details, but it would follow the same pattern as the Item and Sword Museums.)

Demon Compendium

This is the big one! To get the achievement for registering 100% of the Demon Compendium, you need to have every demon in the game recorded. This means battling them, having them join your party, or using the Summon program to get their data. Just a heads-up: demons you get *only* through passwords don't count towards this percentage. So, focus on demons you can encounter and recruit in the game itself.

• Registered 100% of all demons in the Compendium!

  "Every god and demon in the Schwarzwelt is yours to command. You have no more enemies. Go and finish your mission."

  How to get: Get 100% of the Demon Compendium registered. Password-only demons do not count.
