Introduction

Achievements give Moonlighter 2 players a clear set of goals beyond the main story. The Steam list covers every pillar of the game: story milestones, boss kills, shop milestones, relic collection and hidden achievements that reward exploration. Some achievements are earned naturally through progression, while others — like perfect pricing every relic type or clearing Boss Rush — demand real mastery. This page collects the full list with unlock requirements, so you can plan your 100% run: which achievements come with the story, which need targeted farming, and which are hidden until you stumble on the trigger. Whether you are chasing the platinum or just want to know what the game rewards, this is your checklist.

Achievement Roadmap

B

Story Milestones

Earned naturally through campaign progression

ExamplesMaking your first shop sale, reaching each new biome, and completing the Moloch confrontation. These achievements require no special effort — they reward simply playing the game through the main story.
StrategyFollow the main quest line and you will unlock most of this category. Check the list before each story step to make sure you are not missing a chapter-based trigger.
DifficultyEasy — these are the completionist's bread and butter and require no farming or special builds.
A

Shop Achievements

Financial milestones for merchant mastery

ExamplesEarning your first Perfect Price stamp, hitting a big single-day profit, and pricing a certain number of relic types perfectly. These reward deep shop engagement.
StrategyUse the shop guide's pricing tips to hit Perfect Prices consistently. Track which relic types you have stamped and target the ones you miss during normal runs.
DifficultyMedium — requires understanding the pricing system and consistent shop play, but no special combat skill.
A

Boss Achievements

Defeat every region guardian and the finale

ExamplesDefeating the Kalina Guardian, Gallery Sentinel, Aeolia Tyrant and Moloch. Each boss kill unlocks its own achievement tied to story progression.
StrategyFollow the boss guides to learn patterns and dodge timings. Upgrade your weapon to max before the harder encounters — the forge is your best boss-prep investment.
DifficultyMedium — requires pattern knowledge and decent gear, but all four are beatable with practice and the right builds.
S

Hidden Achievements

Secret triggers that reward exploration

ExamplesFinding a secret treasure room, triggering a hidden event, or completing a specific unmarked objective. The exact triggers are deliberately obscure.
StrategyExplore every room, break suspicious walls and check community guides for documented trigger locations. Some hidden achievements were discovered during Early Access and may have changed in 1.0.
DifficultyHard — without a guide, these are nearly impossible to find naturally. Expect to reference community documentation for the full set.
S

Rush Completion

Clear Boss Rush — the true test of build consistency

TriggerComplete every boss in sequence in Boss Rush mode. One death ends the chain, so you need consistent pattern knowledge across all four region bosses plus the final confrontation.
StrategyPractice each boss individually until you can clear it without taking major damage, then attempt the chain with a maxed weapon, healing relics and a build that covers both crowd and single-target fights.
RewardUnlocks the hardest achievement in the game and drops high-tier loot on every successful run, making it the definitive endgame challenge for completionists and farmers alike.

Core Mechanics

The Moonlighter 2 achievement system tracks your progress across every pillar of the game. Story achievements unlock as you complete campaign chapters, boss achievements track each region guardian, shop achievements measure your merchant milestones, and hidden achievements reward exploration and secret events. The 1.0-era updates added Boss Rush completion achievements for the endgame mode. Achievement triggers are checked in real time, so most unlock the moment you hit the condition — no need to restart or claim rewards. For 100% runs, the list acts as a roadmap: follow the story, master the shop, clear every boss, find the secrets and complete Boss Rush.

Advantages

Achievement hunting gives your playthrough clear, structured goals. Instead of wandering between dungeon runs and shop days, you have a checklist that guides your progression — which bosses to beat, which shop milestones to hit and which secrets to find. Many achievements also point you toward content you might otherwise miss, like hidden treasure rooms and Boss Rush mode. For completionists, the 100% run doubles as a master-class in every system: story, shop, combat and exploration. Finally, achievements provide a sense of progression even after the main campaign ends, giving the game real replay value. Even casual players benefit from the roadmap: it turns an aimless session into a focused plan, and the sense of completion keeps the merchant loop engaging long after the story ends.

Challenges

The hardest achievements demand serious time and mastery. Hidden achievements are nearly impossible to find without community guides, and Boss Rush completion requires consistent play across every boss in sequence. Shop achievements can drag if you struggle with the pricing system — one bad habit (like overpricing everything) can delay several milestones. The 1.0 release may also have changed some achievement triggers, so guides written during Early Access could be outdated. For casual players, chasing every achievement can turn a cozy merchant adventure into a stressful completion grind — play at your own pace and use the list as a suggestion, not a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many achievements does Moonlighter 2 have?+
The exact count depends on the current Steam build, but the list covers the five major categories: story progression, boss kills, shop milestones, hidden achievements and Boss Rush completion. The full list is maintained on the achievements page, and the 1.0 release may have added new achievements alongside the new content.
What are the hardest achievements?+
The hidden achievements and Boss Rush completion are generally the hardest. Hidden achievements require finding obscure triggers that are almost impossible to locate without community guides. Boss Rush demands consistent play — one mistake against an early boss ends the entire chain. Both reward true mastery of the game's systems.
Do achievements require a new game plus?+
Most achievements can be earned in a normal playthrough, including story, boss, shop and hidden achievements. The Endless Vault and Boss Rush modes provide repeatable endgame content for the harder achievements. If a specific achievement requires a particular build or phase, the guide on the achievements page explains the optimal order to earn it.
Can I get all achievements in one playthrough?+
Yes — Moonlighter 2 is designed so the full achievement list is reachable in a single save with enough playtime. The key is not missing missable achievements: hidden triggers, shop milestones and Boss Rush runs. Follow the roadmap on this page, check the list before each story step, and you can clean up everything before rolling credits.
