Rise of the Guardians is not one of those games that will make you spend long hours at night fighting for achievements. If you expect to meet some resistance while playing – don’t. In most cases everything will flow naturally and easily as far as the game has no difficulty levels. In general, achievements deserve no more than 3 points out of 10 on the complexity scale. All of them should be unlocked offline and will take about 12 hours to complete.
Introduction
”Rise of the Guardians” is a straightforward game with very simple achievements. Most of them involve discovering areas, collecting items, completing quests, defeating a certain number of enemies, 50-point combos and others. The whole conception is also pretty simple: enter the area, clear it from enemies, pick up everything that is collectible, finish the mission and move to the next area. Do not forget to use your in-game Map because this is THE thing that will help you to unlock a greater part of the achievements. Not only it gives you directions but also shares locations with the collectible items and other useful stuff. To access your map you need to press the “Back” button on your D-pad and then press “Y” to see the Legend. As a matter of fact, the map is so useful that it almost makes this achievement guide just a formality. Just use it and you will be fine.
”Rise of the Guardians” is a nice and simple game and if you plan to spend your rainy weekends at home – this is a perfect choice for rent. It’s also fun to play the Guardians in cooperative mode with the whole family and I can assure you that both adults and kids will enjoy the time spent together.

Believe in the Magic (20)
Level up for the first time.
This will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. You will get it almost immediately as far as the first level up requires almost no effort.
Elite Guardian (20)
Reach Valor Level 20.
This will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. Kill enemies, complete missions, kill more enemies. You are supposed to reach Level 20 somewhere at the beginning of your 5th realm that won’t be long.
Shadow Spree (20)
Destroy 100 Nightmare enemies.
This will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. You can actually unlock this within the first 15 minutes of playing the game. Just keep moving and killing enemies. There is no need to pick Nightmare enemies from the crowd of bad guys and you do not have to kill them in a row.
Shadow Take-Down (20)
Destroy one of each Nightmare enemy.
In 99% this will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. Move forward and kill everything that has to be killed. Among those hordes of enemies you will spot Nightmare enemies that are formed by 13 different warriors. You need to kill at least one enemy of every kind. By the way: if you are not playing alone, make sure that both you and your partner kill 13 different Nightmare enemies. Otherwise – your achievement won’t count. Here’s the list of Nightmare guys:

But if today is not your day and regardless of all the effort you do not have this achievement yet after you clear out your 3rd realm, restart the Xbox. This should help.
Magic is Everywhere (20)
Destroy all Nightmares in all realms.
Nightmares are NOT on the map so make sure you check every corner for those bad guys. Explore the map, check every path and every street. Ye, it might get annoying but this also gives you an opportunity to find hidden items and dive deeper in the atmosphere.
Dig the Spring (20)
Find and Collect all Painted Eggs scattered across all 5 realms.
Painted Eggs are some of the collectibles and you need to gather them all. Luckily, they will be marked on your map and you won’t have to search their locations. Painted Eggs can be found on all 5 realms in the treasure chests. There are 25 in each realm and in order to pick one up, get closer to the chest and open it. Some of the chests will be hidden in dark places, so make sure you check them properly. If you want to view your Collectibles progress, press “Start” > Select World Board > Select Missions and use the “LS” button to cycle over to “Treasure Collections”. At the very bottom of your display you will see the number of collectibles for every realm, how many you’ve found and how many are still to be found.

Deliver Holiday Cheer (20)
Perform a 10 point combo.
Get closer to the group of enemies and keep pushing the “A” button until you reach 10 hits. This will open the 10 combo achievement. You can check the combo-counter in the top-left of your screen (right under your character's picture). Deliver Holiday Cheer should come to you naturally: just rush into a group of enemies and keep killing them rising the counter.
Never Stop Believing (20)
Reach a 50 point combo.
Get closer to the group of enemies and keep pushing the “A” button until you reach 50 hits. You need to remember that this has to be non-stop: 50 hits without interruption, so I would recommend you to find a big group of enemies and make sure that they will handle 50 hits of yours. You can check the combo-counter in the top-left of your screen (right under your character's picture). Play with whomever you want but I would recommend picking Bunnymund or Tooth Fairy because they have ranged attacks, though you won’t be able to move while attacking. If it’s necessary to get a new angle, use the “LT” + “LS” buttons to roll to a new vantage point. Don’t worry – this is actually an easy one. For example, my best combo is 211 hits.
Cool Headed (20)
Upgrade your weapon to Level 2.
Story related and can’t be missed. You will get this after you defeat Pitch for the 1st time.
Ice Cold (20)
Upgrade your weapon to Level 3.
Story related and can’t be missed. You will get this after you defeat Pitch for the 3rd time.
Cold Warrior (20)
Upgrade your weapon to Level 4.
Story related and can’t be missed. You will get this after you defeat Pitch for the 5th time.
My Kind of Element (20)
Purchase all Gems.
This should come to you naturally. I managed to unlock this achievement before completing the second realm. All in all there are 9 gems for each of the 5 characters but don’t worry – all gems are the same in price and ability for each character. Of course, you can pick whatever Gems you want but you can equip 3 at a time by unlocking 1 of the 3 slots at levels 2, 8 & 12. And now – the Gems themselves:
1. Build - 550 (recommended)
2. Glory - 900 crystals
3. Wonder- 1300 (recommended)
4. Harmony - 2000 crystals
5. Force - 2600 crystals
6. Energized - 3800 crystals
7. Power - 5200 (recommended)
8. Mighty - 6500 crystals
9. Legendary - 8000 (recommended)
If you plan to buy all the Gems for all your heroes, it will cost you 31050 x 5 = 155,250 crystals
Crystal Champ (20)
Collect 15000 Crystals.
As a greater part of achievements, this will also come to you pretty naturally. Your task is to collect 15,000 crystals. You do not have to have 15,000 on your account – you just need to gather 15,000 in total. Spend them for Germs, upgrades and whatever you find is necessary. Crystals appear when you defeat enemies. The good thing is that you do not have to pick them up – they will come to your character automatically which is more than just nice: you do not have to bother about running all over the level and collecting crystals. To check the number of crystals you have, all you need to do is to press the “Start” button > Select Journal > Select Germs. You should see the number of crystals in the top-left corner.
Guardians Deliver (20)
Reach 100% World Belief
To check your World Belief meter, look at the bottom left corner or your HUD. The meter can be increased as you progress though the game and clear everything on your map. The better your discoveries are, the faster your World Belief meter grows. If you do everything right and clear each and every area before moving on, you will likely get the achievement before finishing the 4th realm.
Co-op Captain (20)
Instigate a co-operative attack move.
This will come to you naturally but you will have to input some effort in its successful completeness. In order to get things done you are supposed to have at least 1 full purple bar to start this attack. Over time, your energy meter will regenerate for the 1st bar automatically but killing enemies will help you to fill it on 100%. Now, hold the “LB” button to another character in order to perform the move together. You can continue holding the “LB” button until your purple energy meter is depleted.
Shadow Sifter (20)
Destroy one of each type of Champion Nightmare.
It is pretty easy to identify Champion Nightmares because they have a purple health bar. Kill them as you kill any other enemy: press the “A” button for a base attack and then use one of your special abilities by pressing “X”, “Y” or “B”. This should put them down in no time. You are supposed to unlock this achievement by the time you’ve cleared your 3rd Realm. If not – try to restart your Xbox (this should help).
Beyond Belief (40)
Defeat Pitch in the Final Showdown and reach 100% world belief.
To check your World Belief meter, look at the bottom left corner or your HUD. The meter can be increased as you progress through the game and clear everything on your map. The better your discoveries are, the faster your World Belief meter grows. If you do everything right and clear each and every area before moving on, you will likely get the achievement before finishing the 4th realm.
This is Going to be Epic! (20)
Defeat Pitch for the fifth and final time in his Lair.
While progressing through the game, you will enter Pitch’s Lair for a couple of times so nothing to worry about here. After your fifth successful visit you should get the achievement mentioned. You will also upgrade you weapons the 1st, 3rd and 5th time you encounter Pitch.
Belief Spin (20)
Turn the Globe of Belief 360 degrees on the Pause Screen.
I am really surprised to see something like this in the list of achievements. Once you can control your character, press the “Start” button and use RS to spin the globe around. Spin it in one direction until the achievement pops up. This is really very and very easy to get. I would even say – 20G points for nothing.
Bed Blaster (20)
Destroy all beds that lead to Pitch’s Realm portal.
All in all there are 5 beds and you need to destroy them all. After that they will lead you to Pitch’s Realm portal. You shouldn’t miss this one as far as you'll be given the challenge to destroy the enemies around the bed as you complete missions and collect items in the game. Keep clearing the map and wait for the pop up message.
I Still Believe (20)
Defeat Pitch in each of the five confrontations.
You will have to visit Pitch in his Lair for 5 times during the game. In order to get there you need to complete all missions and clear the map. Use your favorite Unique Ability to get the enemy down and try to keep the distance because Pitch will be using rotating sickle attack pretty often. I found Bunnymund and Tooth Fairy the best characters to fight Pitch but you can pick whomever you want. This is up to you.
Glory of the Guardians (20)
Defeat Pitch at the Final Showdown in Burgess.
It looks like after five confrontations with Pitch, you will have to meet him one more time in Burgess. It won’t be much different from your first five meetings but this time Pitch will spawn evil replicates or your characters as well. This will disturb you a bit but not fatally. So, just do what you always do and spam the “A” button on them. Now use your Unique Abilities by pressing “X”, “Y” or “B”.
Tis' the Season to be Naughty (20)
Destroy 40 piles of presents in North's Factory.
Piles of presents will be scattered all over the map. Your task is to find and destroy at least 40 of them. If by any chance you haven’t got the whole package at the first time, get back to the factory in the North Pole realm and gather them there. Presents will respawn constantly so even if you have none at the moment, pretty soon you will be able to reach the mark of 40 items.
Yeti Master (20)
Hit a friendly Yeti ten times.
It is kind of rood to hit your friends but considering that this is a virtual world and Yetis are not your dear friends, I am pretty sure that we can close our eyes on this infringement. You can find Yetis making Ice Sculptures in the Factory Area of the North Pole Realm. Also, they can be found hanging out on the cliffs. Come close to Yeti and hit him 10 times.
Memories are Treasures (20)
Destroy the circle of mushrooms in Tooth's Asia Temple.
Go to the Guardian Gate and travel to Tooth Palace realm in Asia. You will find the circle of mushrooms in the top-left of the map (right near the chest that is hidden in the shadows). Come closer and destroy the whole circle. When you’re done – you will get 20G points and another achievement.
Workin' Hard Every Day (20)
Destroy 20 vases in Tooth's realm.
It looks like you are not into china, are you? Well, the good news is that you can fulfill your anger and even get something good instead. Your task is to destroy 20 vases in Tooth's realm. As soon as you enter the realm, look around and you will find vases on the edges of the area. Just keep destroying them until you count to 20 or until you get the pop up notification.
Riding the Wind (20)
Hit 10 Mailboxes around the streets of Burgess.
You will find blue mailboxes on the streets of Burgess. Keep it in mind: those are not regular mailboxes you can find in front of people’s houses – these are the bigger drop-off-your-letters-and-packages mailboxes. As far as there are more than 10 Mailboxes in the area, you shouldn’t have any problems unlocking this achievement.
Gone Fishing (20)
Destroy all 5 instances of fishing gear around the lake.
The lake you need is located in the POND area of the Burgess Realms. Just go there and search the location. You will find 2 fishing gears on the pier, 1 on the shore near the Guardian Gate and 2 near the North Bridge. Destroy them all and get another 20G achievement points.

Believe in the Magic (20)
Level up for the first time.
This will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. You will get it almost immediately as far as the first level up requires almost no effort.
Elite Guardian (20)
Reach Valor Level 20.
This will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. Kill enemies, complete missions, kill more enemies. You are supposed to reach Level 20 somewhere at the beginning of your 5th realm that won’t be long.
Shadow Spree (20)
Destroy 100 Nightmare enemies.
This will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. You can actually unlock this within the first 15 minutes of playing the game. Just keep moving and killing enemies. There is no need to pick Nightmare enemies from the crowd of bad guys and you do not have to kill them in a row.
Shadow Take-Down (20)
Destroy one of each Nightmare enemy.
In 99% this will come to you naturally as you progress through the game. Move forward and kill everything that has to be killed. Among those hordes of enemies you will spot Nightmare enemies that are formed by 13 different warriors. You need to kill at least one enemy of every kind. By the way: if you are not playing alone, make sure that both you and your partner kill 13 different Nightmare enemies. Otherwise – your achievement won’t count. Here’s the list of Nightmare guys:
1 - Pitch

But if today is not your day and regardless of all the effort you do not have this achievement yet after you clear out your 3rd realm, restart the Xbox. This should help.
Magic is Everywhere (20)
Destroy all Nightmares in all realms.
Nightmares are NOT on the map so make sure you check every corner for those bad guys. Explore the map, check every path and every street. Ye, it might get annoying but this also gives you an opportunity to find hidden items and dive deeper in the atmosphere.
Dig the Spring (20)
Find and Collect all Painted Eggs scattered across all 5 realms.
Painted Eggs are some of the collectibles and you need to gather them all. Luckily, they will be marked on your map and you won’t have to search their locations. Painted Eggs can be found on all 5 realms in the treasure chests. There are 25 in each realm and in order to pick one up, get closer to the chest and open it. Some of the chests will be hidden in dark places, so make sure you check them properly. If you want to view your Collectibles progress, press “Start” > Select World Board > Select Missions and use the “LS” button to cycle over to “Treasure Collections”. At the very bottom of your display you will see the number of collectibles for every realm, how many you’ve found and how many are still to be found.

Deliver Holiday Cheer (20)
Perform a 10 point combo.
Get closer to the group of enemies and keep pushing the “A” button until you reach 10 hits. This will open the 10 combo achievement. You can check the combo-counter in the top-left of your screen (right under your character's picture). Deliver Holiday Cheer should come to you naturally: just rush into a group of enemies and keep killing them rising the counter.
Never Stop Believing (20)
Reach a 50 point combo.
Get closer to the group of enemies and keep pushing the “A” button until you reach 50 hits. You need to remember that this has to be non-stop: 50 hits without interruption, so I would recommend you to find a big group of enemies and make sure that they will handle 50 hits of yours. You can check the combo-counter in the top-left of your screen (right under your character's picture). Play with whomever you want but I would recommend picking Bunnymund or Tooth Fairy because they have ranged attacks, though you won’t be able to move while attacking. If it’s necessary to get a new angle, use the “LT” + “LS” buttons to roll to a new vantage point. Don’t worry – this is actually an easy one. For example, my best combo is 211 hits.
Cool Headed (20)
Upgrade your weapon to Level 2.
Story related and can’t be missed. You will get this after you defeat Pitch for the 1st time.
Ice Cold (20)
Upgrade your weapon to Level 3.
Story related and can’t be missed. You will get this after you defeat Pitch for the 3rd time.
Cold Warrior (20)
Upgrade your weapon to Level 4.
Story related and can’t be missed. You will get this after you defeat Pitch for the 5th time.
My Kind of Element (20)
Purchase all Gems.
This should come to you naturally. I managed to unlock this achievement before completing the second realm. All in all there are 9 gems for each of the 5 characters but don’t worry – all gems are the same in price and ability for each character. Of course, you can pick whatever Gems you want but you can equip 3 at a time by unlocking 1 of the 3 slots at levels 2, 8 & 12. And now – the Gems themselves:
1. Build - 550 (recommended)
2. Glory - 900 crystals
3. Wonder- 1300 (recommended)
4. Harmony - 2000 crystals
5. Force - 2600 crystals
6. Energized - 3800 crystals
7. Power - 5200 (recommended)
8. Mighty - 6500 crystals
9. Legendary - 8000 (recommended)
If you plan to buy all the Gems for all your heroes, it will cost you 31050 x 5 = 155,250 crystals
Crystal Champ (20)
Collect 15000 Crystals.
As a greater part of achievements, this will also come to you pretty naturally. Your task is to collect 15,000 crystals. You do not have to have 15,000 on your account – you just need to gather 15,000 in total. Spend them for Germs, upgrades and whatever you find is necessary. Crystals appear when you defeat enemies. The good thing is that you do not have to pick them up – they will come to your character automatically which is more than just nice: you do not have to bother about running all over the level and collecting crystals. To check the number of crystals you have, all you need to do is to press the “Start” button > Select Journal > Select Germs. You should see the number of crystals in the top-left corner.
Guardians Deliver (20)
Reach 100% World Belief
To check your World Belief meter, look at the bottom left corner or your HUD. The meter can be increased as you progress though the game and clear everything on your map. The better your discoveries are, the faster your World Belief meter grows. If you do everything right and clear each and every area before moving on, you will likely get the achievement before finishing the 4th realm.
Co-op Captain (20)
Instigate a co-operative attack move.
This will come to you naturally but you will have to input some effort in its successful completeness. In order to get things done you are supposed to have at least 1 full purple bar to start this attack. Over time, your energy meter will regenerate for the 1st bar automatically but killing enemies will help you to fill it on 100%. Now, hold the “LB” button to another character in order to perform the move together. You can continue holding the “LB” button until your purple energy meter is depleted.
Shadow Sifter (20)
Destroy one of each type of Champion Nightmare.
It is pretty easy to identify Champion Nightmares because they have a purple health bar. Kill them as you kill any other enemy: press the “A” button for a base attack and then use one of your special abilities by pressing “X”, “Y” or “B”. This should put them down in no time. You are supposed to unlock this achievement by the time you’ve cleared your 3rd Realm. If not – try to restart your Xbox (this should help).
Beyond Belief (40)
Defeat Pitch in the Final Showdown and reach 100% world belief.
To check your World Belief meter, look at the bottom left corner or your HUD. The meter can be increased as you progress through the game and clear everything on your map. The better your discoveries are, the faster your World Belief meter grows. If you do everything right and clear each and every area before moving on, you will likely get the achievement before finishing the 4th realm.
This is Going to be Epic! (20)
Defeat Pitch for the fifth and final time in his Lair.
While progressing through the game, you will enter Pitch’s Lair for a couple of times so nothing to worry about here. After your fifth successful visit you should get the achievement mentioned. You will also upgrade you weapons the 1st, 3rd and 5th time you encounter Pitch.
Belief Spin (20)
Turn the Globe of Belief 360 degrees on the Pause Screen.
I am really surprised to see something like this in the list of achievements. Once you can control your character, press the “Start” button and use RS to spin the globe around. Spin it in one direction until the achievement pops up. This is really very and very easy to get. I would even say – 20G points for nothing.
Bed Blaster (20)
Destroy all beds that lead to Pitch’s Realm portal.
All in all there are 5 beds and you need to destroy them all. After that they will lead you to Pitch’s Realm portal. You shouldn’t miss this one as far as you'll be given the challenge to destroy the enemies around the bed as you complete missions and collect items in the game. Keep clearing the map and wait for the pop up message.
I Still Believe (20)
Defeat Pitch in each of the five confrontations.
You will have to visit Pitch in his Lair for 5 times during the game. In order to get there you need to complete all missions and clear the map. Use your favorite Unique Ability to get the enemy down and try to keep the distance because Pitch will be using rotating sickle attack pretty often. I found Bunnymund and Tooth Fairy the best characters to fight Pitch but you can pick whomever you want. This is up to you.
Glory of the Guardians (20)
Defeat Pitch at the Final Showdown in Burgess.
It looks like after five confrontations with Pitch, you will have to meet him one more time in Burgess. It won’t be much different from your first five meetings but this time Pitch will spawn evil replicates or your characters as well. This will disturb you a bit but not fatally. So, just do what you always do and spam the “A” button on them. Now use your Unique Abilities by pressing “X”, “Y” or “B”.
Tis' the Season to be Naughty (20)
Destroy 40 piles of presents in North's Factory.
Piles of presents will be scattered all over the map. Your task is to find and destroy at least 40 of them. If by any chance you haven’t got the whole package at the first time, get back to the factory in the North Pole realm and gather them there. Presents will respawn constantly so even if you have none at the moment, pretty soon you will be able to reach the mark of 40 items.
Yeti Master (20)
Hit a friendly Yeti ten times.
It is kind of rood to hit your friends but considering that this is a virtual world and Yetis are not your dear friends, I am pretty sure that we can close our eyes on this infringement. You can find Yetis making Ice Sculptures in the Factory Area of the North Pole Realm. Also, they can be found hanging out on the cliffs. Come close to Yeti and hit him 10 times.
Memories are Treasures (20)
Destroy the circle of mushrooms in Tooth's Asia Temple.
Go to the Guardian Gate and travel to Tooth Palace realm in Asia. You will find the circle of mushrooms in the top-left of the map (right near the chest that is hidden in the shadows). Come closer and destroy the whole circle. When you’re done – you will get 20G points and another achievement.
Workin' Hard Every Day (20)
Destroy 20 vases in Tooth's realm.
It looks like you are not into china, are you? Well, the good news is that you can fulfill your anger and even get something good instead. Your task is to destroy 20 vases in Tooth's realm. As soon as you enter the realm, look around and you will find vases on the edges of the area. Just keep destroying them until you count to 20 or until you get the pop up notification.
Riding the Wind (20)
Hit 10 Mailboxes around the streets of Burgess.
You will find blue mailboxes on the streets of Burgess. Keep it in mind: those are not regular mailboxes you can find in front of people’s houses – these are the bigger drop-off-your-letters-and-packages mailboxes. As far as there are more than 10 Mailboxes in the area, you shouldn’t have any problems unlocking this achievement.
Gone Fishing (20)
Destroy all 5 instances of fishing gear around the lake.
The lake you need is located in the POND area of the Burgess Realms. Just go there and search the location. You will find 2 fishing gears on the pier, 1 on the shore near the Guardian Gate and 2 near the North Bridge. Destroy them all and get another 20G achievement points.
