 Dante's Inferno Achievement Guide
Dante's Inferno is a hack-n-slash/platformer from EA Games, and is without a doubt one of the Xbox 360's easiest 1000s of 2010. It is very straightforward, just requiring a lot of collecting and some patience thanks to poor jump mechanics Notes: *In order to get the full 1040 on this game you will need the DLC pack Dark Forest (this link is for the U.S. version of the DLC, check your country's marketplace for region specific DLCs). It costs 400 MSP off the Xbox Live Marketplace *When you start your first playthrough, select CLASSIC difficulty. This turns the game into super easy where it is almost impossible to die in battle, although you will likely die a lot due to the aforementioned poor jump mechanics *There is NO level select in this game, so if you miss a single collectible you're looking at an entire new playthrough. This is why you want to save in many different slots, I recommend at least 4-6. If you follow the collectible guide this won't be a problem, but it's always good to have insurance *When you enter the eighth circle of Hell, Fraud, make a save point that you DO NOT save over. This is the only area in the game you can easily get the Poetry in Motion achievement, and again you don't want to do another playthrough if you miss it *Because there are so many collectibles in the game, I combined them into one giant guide in the order you will find them while playing the game rather than breaking them down by category *If you get stuck on any puzzles in the game, I highly recommend the walkthroughs on Gamefaqs Slaughter at Acre (5g) - Fight against the prisoner at Acre You begin the game being attacked by prisoners at Acre. Killing through the first group will unlock this achievement Abandon All Hope (15g) - Break through the Gates of Hell At the end of the first level you will find yourself controlling a giant beast killing off waves of enemies. After they are dead break down the giant doors in front of you for the achievement Sentence the Judge (25g) - Defeat King Minos He is the boss of the Limbo level, the achievement will unlock during the cutscene you get after killing him Lovers Torn Asunder (25g) - Defeat Marc Antony He is the boss of the Lust level, the achievement will unlock during the cutscene you get after killing him The Great Worm (25g) - Defeat Cerberus He is the boss guarding the entrance to the Gluttony level, the achievement will unlock during the cutscene you get after killing him Like Father Like Son (25g) - Defeat Alighiero He is the boss of the Greed level, the achievement will unlock during the cutscene you get after killing him Gates of Dis (35g) - Enter the lower circles of The Inferno On your way to the Heresy level, you will once again find yourself riding a giant beast walking towards a giant set of doors. Breaking them down will earn you the achievement The Harrowing (35g) - Escape Heresy This will unlock at the end of the Heresy level on your way down to the next level Brotherhood (40g) - Defeat Francesco He is the boss of the Violence level, the achievement will unlock during the cutscene you get after killing him NOTE: after Francesco you enter the eighth circle of Hell, Fraud. MAKE SURE you make a new save point here that you don't save over for the rest of the game. You will need this for the Poetry in Motion achievement Bitter Sweet (50g) - Save Beatrice This will unlock after the Fraud level when you have completed all 10 trials Lucifer's Match (100g) - Defeat the Emperor of the Woeful Realm This will unlock after defeating the final boss in the game Precious (10g) - Find a Beatrice stone See Power of the Cross achievement for more information Power of the Cross (20g) - Find all 3 Beatrice stones Beatrice Stones allow you to automatically absolve a shade and skip the soul collecting mini game. I recommend not using this as you will want every soul you can possibly get to cut down on playtime. See The Guide achievement for location information Footsteps of a Traitor (10g) - Find 10 pieces of silver See Well Done, Judas achievement for more information Betrayed with a Kiss (10g) - Find 20 pieces of silver See Well Done, Judas achievement for more information Well Done, Judas (20g) - Find All 30 pieces of silver 30 silver coins are hidden throughout fountains in the game. Every five you find will earn you extra souls. See The Guide achievement for location information Relic Hunter (10g) - Find a relic See Dark Relics achievement for more information Light Relics (20g) - Find all Holy relics See Dark Relics achievement for more information Dark Relics (20g) - Find all Unholy relics Relics are equippable items you find or are given throughout the game, enhancing your offensive and defensive capabilities. Some can only be equipped once you hit certain experience levels. See The Guide achievement for location information Note: each relic can be levelled up by equipping it and gaining souls. This will increase the power and abilities of the relics you have equipped. The second you get the Coin of Plutus relic equip it, and you will want it maxed out in level as fast as you can because it will help you get the Poetry in Motion achievement easier Forbidden Love (20g) - Find and absolve both Francesca da Polenta and Paolo Malatesta They are the fourth and fifth shades, located on the Lust level. Absolving both of them will earn you the achievement. See The Guide achievement for location information of both shades Old Friend (20g) - Find and absolve Brunetto Latini He is the twentieth shade, located on the Violence level. Absolve him for the achievement. See The Guide achievement for location information The Damned (50g) - Punish or absolve all 27 shades of The Inferno Shades are the skinless people you encounter throughout the game that are surrounded by a faint glow. You can either Punish them for Unholy experience points or absolve them for Holy experience. When you choose to absolve them you are taken to a button pushing mini game where you can earn extra souls. See The Guide achievement for location information

The Guide (40g) - Collect all Virgil commentaries
Virgil is the hovering cloaked figure you encounter throughout the game who gives you information in the form of Commentaries and will also sometimes give you Relics. He is almost impossible to miss as he's always standing right in front of the path you need to take. Every time you see him keep talking to him until he vanishes. Note: the very first time you see him when he gives you the Ice Spell doesn't count as a commenatry

The Guide (40g) - Collect all Virgil commentaries (cont'd)
Soul Reaper (50g) - Collect 60,000 Souls You gain souls for defeating enemies, breaking open tan fountains, and collecting Judas coins. You will easily hit 60,000 during your first playthrough of the game Burning Eyes (10g) - Send Charon back into the abyss In Limbo after you throwing the exploding Minion through a door to open it, you will see Charon's severed head in the hallway. Walk up to it and press the Right Bumper to get the achievement Warming Up (10g) - Perform a 50 hit combo See Poetry in Motion achievement for more information Masterpiece (10g) - Perform a 200 hit combo See Poetry in Motion achievement for more information Poetry in Motion (20g) - Perform a 666 hit combo A combo is done by constantly hitting enemies without a major break between slashes. You will easily get a 50 hit combo during normal gameplay, but 200 and 666 will take something extra.

Holy Warrior (10g) - Kill 30 Minions
Minions are the zombie like creatures that rise out of the ground. They are the most common enemy type and you will easily get 30 kills a few levels into the game Demon Slayer (10g) - Kill 30 Demons Demons are the taller enemies with horned helmets. They are also quite numerous in the game and you will have no problem killing 30 of them Bad Nanny (10g) - Kill 20 Unbaptized Babies Unbaptized Babies are the tiny baby looking demons with swords for hands. Again, there are hundreds of them in the game so this will unlock very fast for you Indigestion (10g) - Kill 5 Gluttons Gluttons are gigantic obese demons that first appear in the Gluttony level. There aren't as many of them as most demons, but you will definitely find enough to kill by the time its over Confessional (10g) - Kill 5 Heretics Heretics are demons that resemble priests and they first appear in the Heresy level. There are plenty of them to kill in that level alone for the achievement Countermeasures (10g) - Kill 20 enemies using a counter move To perform a counter, the instant before an enemy hits you press the Left Trigger to go into a counter stance. You will know you did it successfully because the game will go into a slow motion mode. The second that happens, press either X or Y to attack the enemy. If you kill them with the hit it will count towards the achievement. After 20 of these it will unlock Superstition (10g) - Kill 20 enemies using magic You gain magic after killing certain bosses in the game. To activate it, hold the Left Bumper and press whatever button you assigned the spell to. After killing 20 enemies with spells the achievement will pop Give Me Strength (10g) - Open 20 Health fountains Health Fountains are the green fountains you find all over the game. Breaking open twenty of these will earn you the achievement Sorcerer's Apprentice (10g) - Open 20 Mana fountains Mana Fountains are the purple fountains you find all over the game. Breaking open twenty of these will earn you the achievement Light in the Dark (30g) - Reach Holy Level 7 See Death's Apprentice achievement for more information Death's Apprentice (30g) - Reach Unholy Level 7 You gain Holy or Unholy levels in three ways:
Again, when you start your first playthrough make sure you ONLY use Holy or Unholy finishers depending on which path you want to follow first (with the exception of if you're going for Unholy first, still making sure you absolve the Shades #4 Francesca da Polenta, #5 Paolo Malatesta, and #20 Brunetto Latini). The second in the game you unlock the achievement for whichever path start doing the opposite path for the rest of the playthrough, because your experience will carry over to the next playthrough and you'll want to spend as little time playing it as possible. You need 9,000 experience points per path for a total of 18,000 If you are doing Holy first, equip the Charon's Oar relic as soon as you can as it will give you extra Holy experience for each Absolution. If you are doing Unholy first, equip the Tail of Minos as soon as you can as it will give you extra Unholy experience for each Punishment Holy Man (30g) - Max out the Holy path See Man of Evil achievement for more information Man of Evil (30g) - Max out the Unholy path To max out a path, you must buy all the abilities from the pause menu. To do this, spend the souls you earn throughout the game. Something to keep in mind is you can't buy certain abilities until you hit certain experience levels, but you will definitely unlock this towards the end of your first playthrough. Just like the Level 7 achievements, the second you max out the path you are going for start doing the other one as your purchased abilities will carry over to your second playthrough Gates of Hell (60g) - Defeat all enemy waves in the Gates of Hell Arena The Gates of Hell Arena unlocks after you've beaten the game once. It is a battle arena style mode where you have fight your way through 50 waves of varying enemies. As long as you are playing on Classic difficulty you will have no problem whatsoever surviving to wave 50, after which the achievement will unlock Dark Forest (20g) - Complete the Dark Forest on any difficulty See Clear Path Not Lost achievement for more information Clear Path Not Lost (20g) - Complete the Dark Forest without getting lost once The Dark Forest DLC is basically three puzzles rooms with a few battles mixed in throughout, the goal is to chase down a killer from your past. In order to not get lost, you cannot enter the wrong door during any of the puzzles.
You will now have another battle, after which follow the path to a cliff and you will earn both achievements for completing the DLC pack

Damn that's a lot of collectibles and you have to keep an eye on them as there is no level select?
I question a developers logic other than "artistic story continuation" why there is not a level select with so many collectibles. That's my vent already but at least you can save. Another fantastic guide Classy!

I honestly don't think much logic went into this game at all, I refuse to believe the same people who made Dead Space could have made it. I think the Dead Space's janitorial team actually coded it.
And don't even get me started on the DLC, which is literally less than 10 minutes long if you know what you're doing.... such a magnificent use of 400 msp.
