[ROUTE] Ultra Despair Girls All Achievements

RULES:

RTA Rules; this category requires you to start a new game file on the difficulty of your choosing. Timing starts when you hit 'Yes' on "Start game?" and ends when you obtain the final achievement. Loading save files created before starting the run is not allowed.

Loadless time is required and is the standard for PC runs: if you are playing on PC, please use the load removal/autosplitter found in the resources section to submit loadless times to the leaderboard.

The Windows application Steam Achievement Manager (gib.me/sam/) by gibbed can be used to remove already acquired achievements on your Steam profile. Make sure to follow the instructions on the developers website. This is advised as it makes tracking achievements during a run much easier and also helps in verifying a run. On consoles, it is possible to play on a new user profile to regain achievements/trophies. Submitted runs without visible achievement pop-ups will not be accepted.



GENERAL INFORMATION:

Collectible Locations - https://imgur.com/a/iCQ6Wkr
!!! You only need to find one book! There is no achievement for finding every book. !!!
Bling Bullets cost in total 26,378 coins. Scissor Upgrades cost in total 13,300 coins. You only need to get enough money to buy out the most expensive of the two, since you can "Retry" to get your money back while still keeping the achievement.
If you destroy enemies as Genocide Jack, you won't get any experience. Switch back to Komaru before they explode.
Eye-shots give 50% more experience.





PROLOGUE:

Start a New Game on the Genocide difficulty.
Eye-shot the last two monokumas in the diner for some extra experience.
After getting Move, eye-shot the monokuma and pick up the money, shoot the next one you see with your empowered shot (helps not accidentally not-"eye-shotting" a monokuma in Ch.1).



CHAPTER 1:

The usually-first note, "Something terrible is happening", won't appear immediately if you do the first cutscene skip. It's faster to get it when you return to the hospital than to not do the cutscene skip.
Equip One Nighter as soon as you get it.
Buy Attack Speed 1, Charge Power 1 and Charge Speed 1.



CHAPTER 2:

Get "I'm only 16. I don't want to die" and "Hit List: Kanondosu" before triggering the subway collapse, or you'll miss them. Hidden Masaru can be obtained before or after.
Equip Raise after Dancing the siren monokuma on the way back, eye-shot every monokuma in the room and pick up the money.
For Socki the Sock 3, climb up the ladder, dash attack forward until the cutscene, talk to the kid, Shift + S during the "Challenge Start!", check the 3rd pipe.
Equip Violent Urge upon entering the secret base.
Remember to get Quickfire Skill before reading the three mandatory notes (first E press opens the locker, second gets the skill). You can always get it after the cutscene with Haiji, but it's slower.
Get Dance ammo in the room with many stairs and Socki the Sock 4.



CHAPTER 3:

Dark Room - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY5hsUN4sWs

CHAPTER 5:

Arcades: Jataro & Kotoko (interchangeably) -> Nagisa (siren monokuma grind) + leave -> Kotoko (get Break ammo) & Jataro (get Break ammo) (interchangeably) -> Nagisa (siren monokuma grind) + leave -> Masaru (get Break ammo) -> Nagisa (siren monokuma grind) + finish it.
Equip Super Raise as soon as you get it.
Get Break ammo at the final arcade.
I HIGHLY recommend doing the safe strat on the final arcade if you don't do the first two arcades correctly: you won't get an A if you fail three arcades.
Get Paralyze ammo after the final arcade.

On Nagisa Protect 1, use Dance on the siren monokuma then eye-shot every monokuma and pick up the money. If done perfectly, you'll get 2100 coins per run and it should take around two minutes.
Go back to the start of the chapter and save. Go to the main menu and repeat until you have 25,678 coins (or close to it).
You should also do Nagisa Protect 3 once (save at the shrine) to get close to Level 99. You should end this section at least at level 98, halfway to 99.
