Tales of Seikyu Achievements Guide: All 36, Ranked by Rarity

This Tales of Seikyu achievements guide exists because nobody on this site had actually pulled the list straight from Steam's own data and checked it name by name, despite six other guides already covering crafting order, romance, and beginner tips. All 36 entries below come from Steam's live achievement API and the public Steam Community stats page, pulled the same week this article published, with names, unlock rates, and descriptions verified rather than guessed at.

TL;DR: Tales of Seikyu has 36 Steam achievements, confirmed live via Steam's GetGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp endpoint and the store page's achievements field. Two are hidden until unlocked (Nioh's Knockout, Giant Green Thumb), and the rarest is Best of the Best at 0.2% of players. Achievements split into 5 rough categories: story progression, farming and crafting, exploration and collection, romance and social, and festivals plus secrets. Full completion runs 45 to 55 hours.

How many achievements are in Tales of Seikyu? (quick answer)

36. That number comes from three independent Steam sources pulled the same day: the GetGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp API (which listed exactly 36 named entries), the store page's own appdetails achievements field ("total": 36), and the public Steam Community achievements page, which states "Total achievements: 36" directly. A separate completionist guide (Whisper of the House) independently lists the same count. The Shrine of Love update and its follow-up patches (1.1.5 through 1.1.35) added new features but no new achievement entries, so the number hasn't moved since 1.0 launch.

Key Takeaways

• 36 total achievements, confirmed via Steam's live API, not carried over from an older, possibly-stale list.
• 2 are hidden until unlocked: Nioh's Knockout and Giant Green Thumb.
• The rarest achievement is Best of the Best (completionist) at 0.2% of players. The most common is First Blood (defeat a monster) at 49.0%.
• Achievements group into 5 rough categories: story and progression (7), farming/crafting/ranch (12), exploration and collection (8), romance and social (4), and festivals plus secrets (5).
• Marriage is mandatory for 100% completion. So is losing a fight on purpose, at least once.
• Budget 45 to 55 hours for the full set, on top of the roughly 25 to 30 hours most players spend finishing the main story anyway.

Overview: how this Tales of Seikyu achievements guide is organized

Most Tales of Seikyu achievements fall into two rough buckets, and knowing which bucket you're in changes how you should plan for them. The first bucket is achievements that unlock naturally from playing the game the way it wants you to: defeating your first monster, cooking your first dish, building furniture, harvesting a crop. You'll pick up roughly a third of the list without trying, usually inside the first two or three in-game weeks. The second bucket is variety and volume achievements: catch 30 kinds of fish, forage 30 kinds of gatherables, collect 200 pieces of furniture. Those require tracking what you've already gotten, because the game doesn't show you a running tally for most of them.

Requests like this one track item counts directly, but achievement variety counts (30 kinds of fish, 30 kinds of crops) run separately and aren't shown anywhere in the UI, which is exactly why they trip people up late in a completion run.

One naming quirk worth flagging before the category breakdown: the achievement called Tails of Seikyu asks you to "obtain the fox form," and the description on Steam reads "that was surprisingly easy." This isn't the same thing as the game's 5 documented yokai forms (Human, Boar, Slime, Tengu, Yuki-onna), which this site's own beginner guide verified directly against the dedicated wiki's Yokai Forms page. Fox Form doesn't appear on that wiki page at all, which means it's very likely a separate, one-off transformation tied to Fox Ruins story content rather than a sixth entry in the core traversal kit. Neither Steam's own achievement text nor the wiki spells out the exact trigger step by step, so treat any granular walkthrough you find elsewhere (foxhole clues, a specific scroll item) as community-sourced rather than officially documented, and don't be surprised if the beginner guide's 5-form count and this achievement coexist without contradiction.

GODEEPER: For the full breakdown of what each of the 5 confirmed yokai forms actually does and how to unlock them through Fox Ruins boss fights, the beginner guide covers it in more depth than an achievements list can. Tales of Seikyu Tips: 9 Things to Know Before Year 1 →

Story and progression achievements (7)

These track the main quest and a handful of one-time story beats. Most unlock without any planning.

• First Blood (49.0% of players) - Defeat a monster to defend your new home. One of the two most commonly earned achievements in the game.
• First Boss Blood (22.2%) - Take down your first boss. Comes naturally once the story pushes you toward Fox Ruins.
• It Always Starts In A Tavern (23.2%) - Unlock the tavern. A story milestone rather than a task.
• Tails of Seikyu (22.9%) - Obtain the fox form, per the achievement's own text. See the note above on why this isn't one of the 5 core yokai forms.
• She Ain't Furry, She's My Sister (13.3%) - Help Kon, the fox companion who appears in the game's promotional art, reach her human form.
• Oh Kappa, My Kappa (15.9%) - Find Kappa Island, a discoverable location tied to an NPC named Prince.
• Every Hero Needs A Statue (5.8%) - Complete all main story quests. The only story achievement that requires finishing the whole campaign rather than a single beat.

Farming, crafting, and ranch achievements (12)

The largest category by count, and the one where the "easy first, grindy later" pattern is most obvious. Building your first piece of furniture (47.2%, the single most common achievement after First Blood) takes minutes. Collecting 200 furniture pieces (Flat Pack Rat, 0.3%) takes most of a completionist playthrough. The crafting guide's machine build order directly feeds several of these, since you can't forge a weapon or weave clothing without the right station built first.

• It's Not A Weed! (29.2%) - Harvest your first crop.
• Green Thumb (4.8%) - Harvest 30 kinds of crops. Requires deliberately planting varieties you wouldn't otherwise bother with.
• Now, That's Huge! (2.6%) - Grow a giant crop. Needs specific fertilizer and field conditions the crafting guide covers.
• Giant Green Thumb (0.3%, hidden) - Harvest 30 kinds of giant crops. The long-tail version of Now, That's Huge!, and one of the two rarest entries on the whole list.
• Fire Up, Feast On (30.7%) - Cook your first dish.
• Move Over, Kinn (1.2%) - Cook 30 different dishes. Kinntarou is the game's chef NPC, and the name is a pointed dig at him.
• Move Over, Sasaki (47.2%) - Build a piece of furniture. The second most common achievement in the game.
• Move Over, Heph (9.4%) - Forge your own weapon at the smithing station, unlocked through Hephaestus's heart events per the crafting guide.
• Move Over, Ama (2.2%) - Weave your own clothing. Miss Ama runs the tailor shop; this needs her crafting station built out.
• Flat Pack Rat (0.3%) - Collect 200 pieces of furniture. A pure volume grind with no shortcut.
• Animal Whisperer (9.4%) - Bring 5 kinds of ranch animals to live at your farmhouse.
• First Brood (7.7%) - Welcome a baby animal to the ranch, which requires breeding conditions rather than just purchasing livestock.

Exploration and collection achievements (8)

These reward covering ground and logging variety rather than following a story thread.

• Mine Your Own Business (25.6%) - Collect 10 kinds of ores and minerals.
• Squirreling (25.2%) - Forage 30 kinds of gatherables.
• Free to Roam (16.2%) - Unlock all waypoints and shrines across the map.
• Move Over, Yohji (10.5%) - Unlock 75 ruins rooms inside Fox Ruins. Yohji Shibata's own dialogue leans on exploration themes, which is presumably the joke.
• Something Fishy (7.6%) - Catch 30 kinds of fish. Community notes flag that only actually caught fish reliably count toward this, not ones bought from a shop.
• That's a Big One (11.5%) - Reel in an exceptionally rare fish, which needs upgraded rod tiers to fish the right spots.
• Monster Master (13.2%) - Defeat 20 kinds of monsters.
• Inari is Pleased (4.7%) - Complete all shrine offerings at the Inari Shrine, the same location the July 2026 Shrine of Love update expanded with relationship-management features.

Romance and social achievements (4)

Only 4 achievements touch relationships directly, but two of them (marriage and total social completion) sit near the bottom of the rarity list.

• Head Over Paws (11.3%) - Start a relationship with any of the 18 confirmed romance candidates.
• BFF (11.8%) - Reach maximum affinity with a friend. Doesn't require a romantic relationship, just consistent gifting and conversation.
• Yokai-About-Town (8.0%) - Become friends with everyone in the village. A social-completion achievement separate from any single romance route.
• Happily Ever After! (4.8%) - Get married. Requires heart level 10 with a candidate, crafting the special ring, and proposing, exactly as the romance guide's marriage section describes.

Relationship status between NPCs, not just the player character, comes up in ambient dialogue like this. Yokai-About-Town and BFF track your own social standing, not who else is dating whom.

GODEEPER: Marriage is mandatory for 100% completion, so picking the right candidate early actually matters here, not just for the story. The romance guide ranks all 18 candidates by gift cost so you know which route is fastest to heart level 10. Tales of Seikyu Romance Guide: All 18 Candidates (2026) →

Festivals, secrets, and the completionist achievement (5)

The smallest category, and the one with the most planning-dependent entries on the whole list. Festivals are calendar-locked, which means missing one costs you a full seasonal cycle, not a quick retry.

• Flag or Fish? (22.2%) - Celebrate your first Carp Festival.
• It Never Happened (5.2%) - Experience your first Tsukimi Festival. Rarer than the Carp Festival achievement mostly because it fires later in the season calendar, giving new players more chances to miss it before they know to watch for it.
• Good Riddance, Nioh (17.9%) - Defeat a Nioh enemy.
• Nioh's Knockout (3.7%, hidden) - Be defeated by a Nioh. The direct inverse of Good Riddance, Nioh, and worth planning around: manually save before a Nioh fight, let it beat you once for this achievement, then reload and win for the other one. Trying to win first and circling back to lose on purpose later is needlessly awkward.
• Best of the Best (0.2%) - Unlock every other achievement. The rarest entry on the list by a meaningful margin, since it requires clearing all 35 other achievements, including marriage, the two hidden entries, and every volume-collection grind above.

Step-by-Step: the fastest order to chase them in

1. Weeks 1 to 4: Let story and crafting achievements come naturally. First Blood, Fire Up Feast On, It's Not A Weed!, Move Over Sasaki, and It Always Starts In A Tavern will likely all unlock without any dedicated effort during a normal opening.
2. Weeks 4 to 10: Start a relationship early (Head Over Paws) using one of the low-cost romance candidates the romance guide identifies, since heart level 10 for Happily Ever After! takes real time to reach regardless of who you pick. In parallel, begin logging fish, ore, and forage variety instead of selling everything on sight.
3. Weeks 10 to 16: Push through Fox Ruins for Move Over, Yohji (75 rooms) and the yokai-form unlocks that come with it. Complete the main story chain toward Every Hero Needs A Statue.
4. Any two festival days: Attend a Carp Festival and a Tsukimi Festival specifically. Missing either means waiting a full year for the next occurrence, so mark them on a real calendar if you're tracking completion seriously.
5. Whenever you're geared for it: Pick a manual-save moment before a Nioh fight, lose once for Nioh's Knockout, then reload and win for Good Riddance, Nioh.
6. Endgame: Marry your partner for Happily Ever After!, finish the long-tail variety grinds (Green Thumb, Something Fishy, Move Over Kinn, Flat Pack Rat, Giant Green Thumb), and Best of the Best unlocks automatically once the other 35 are done.

Tips for hitting 100% without wasted time

Don't sell your first copy of anything until you know whether it counts toward a variety achievement. Squirreling, Mine Your Own Business, Something Fishy, and Green Thumb all track distinct kinds rather than raw totals, so selling duplicates costs nothing, but selling your only sample of a rare ore or fish before confirming you've logged it is the single most common way players discover they're missing one entry near the end of a completion run.

Treat the two hidden achievements as a checklist item from the start rather than something you'll stumble into. Nioh's Knockout in particular is easy to miss entirely if you only ever fight to win, since most players never deliberately choose to lose.

Cross-reference festival dates against your actual in-game calendar before you think you've missed one. Flag or Fish? and It Never Happened are the two achievements most likely to force a full seasonal wait if you sleep through the trigger day, and neither has a documented makeup window.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many achievements does Tales of Seikyu have? Tales of Seikyu has 36 Steam achievements on the current 1.1.35 build, confirmed directly through Steam's achievement API and the store page's own achievements field. The count has held steady since the Shrine of Love patches, which added features but no new achievements.

What are the hidden achievements in Tales of Seikyu? Two ship hidden: Nioh's Knockout (be defeated by a Nioh) and Giant Green Thumb (harvest 30 kinds of giant crops). Steam's own metadata flags Giant Green Thumb as hidden, and both show blank descriptions on the public achievements page until earned.

What is the rarest achievement in Tales of Seikyu? Best of the Best, the completionist achievement for unlocking everything else, sits at 0.2% of players as of this guide's Steam pull. Giant Green Thumb and Flat Pack Rat (collect 200 furniture pieces) are close behind at 0.3% each.

Do I have to get married to unlock all achievements? Yes. Happily Ever After! requires completing a wedding, which needs heart level 10 with a romance candidate. There's no route to Best of the Best, the completionist achievement, without marrying someone first.

Is there really an achievement for losing a fight? Yes. Nioh's Knockout unlocks by being defeated by a Nioh enemy, not by winning. Since Good Riddance, Nioh (defeating one) is a separate achievement, losing on purpose before you're geared up is the safest way to bank both.

Does the Tails of Seikyu achievement mean there's a 6th yokai form? Not confirmed. That achievement asks you to obtain the fox form, but neither the dedicated wiki's Yokai Forms page nor this site's beginner guide lists Fox Form among the game's 5 documented player forms. It looks like a separate, one-off transformation.

How long does it take to unlock all 36 achievements? Budget 45 to 55 hours for full completion. The main story alone runs 25 to 30 hours, and long-tail collection achievements (30 fish varieties, 30 crop varieties, 200 furniture pieces) account for most of the rest.
