PARANORMASIGHT The Mermaid Curse Achievement Guide

If you’re going for 100% completion in Paranormasight, you’ll quickly realize this isn’t a simple checklist game. Some achievements are tied to story routes, some depend on very specific dialogue choices, and a few are hidden inside mechanics the game barely explains.

This guide is written from a completionist player’s perspective — focusing on what actually matters so you don’t waste runs or miss hidden triggers.

Core Story Achievements (Automatic Unlocks)

These unlock naturally as you progress through the story. You don’t need to do anything special — just keep playing.

Story Progression Unlocks

  • Deep Sea Apparition
  • Immortal Girl
  • Idol of Kameshima
  • The Tale of the Ise Mermaids

You’ll get these simply by moving forward through the narrative routes.

Underwater Gathering Achievements

This mini-game is where most players struggle because scoring depends on knowing what to prioritize, not just collecting randomly.

Rank Achievements

Diving Enthusiast — Reach Rank 5
Master Diver — Reach Rank 17

To level up quickly:

  • Focus on high-value catches
  • Maintain combo streaks
  • Avoid wasting time on low-value items

Score Achievements

These require precise scoring strategy:

  • The Joy of the Dive — 1000 points
  • Fish Bonanza — 1500 points
  • Local Delicacy Haul — 2000 points

The key is targeting premium items.

What to Collect First

Ise Lobster
Worth over 400 points — always prioritize.
Found at the top of rock formations.

Abalone
Worth over 200 points.
Located on rock walls.

Score Multipliers Most Players Miss

Collecting in bulk gives hidden bonuses:

  • 10+ items → 1.5× multiplier
  • 15+ items → 1.8× multiplier

This means steady collecting often beats chasing single high-value targets.

Rare Catch Achievement

A Rare Delicacy
Unlocked by catching your first Ise Lobster.

Just climb to the highest rock points during diving.

Curse Battle Achievement

Devious Adults

To unlock:

  • Finish all dialogue sequences
  • Choose Give Up
  • Then activate your curse

Many players miss this because they instinctively try to win the battle.

Dialogue & Choice Achievements

These depend entirely on your decisions.

Critical Route Choices

Unforgivable Decision
Choose to obey Tomoshige when prompted.

Phone Alone
During Tsukasa’s confession scene:

  • Keep talking even after the phone rings

A Wish to Bind the Heart

Complete the ending without using Mermaid’s meat.

This requires resisting a major late-game option.

Hidden Route Achievements

These are tied to branching story outcomes.

Neverending Youth Route

To unlock both achievements:

You must finish the adventure twice:

  1. One route where Kikuko dies
  2. One route where she survives

How to Keep Kikuko Alive

After receiving the mirror:

  • Open inventory
  • Discard the mirror

Also discard the business card to prevent curse activation.

Profile & Completion Achievements

These require full exploration.

Kameshima Gossiper

Check every character profile you encounter.

Make a habit of reviewing profiles after each chapter.

Kameshima Expert

Unlock by completing all files in the game.

This includes optional lore entries.

Bird Sticker Collection Achievements

These unlock progressively as you collect bird stickers.

Where to Find Them

Some are hidden in the underwater mini-game.
Others appear during map exploration.
One requires talking to Kikuko after scoring 2000 points in diving.

Important Tip

The game only shows hints for missed stickers after you pass their chapter, so check carefully before progressing.

Puzzle Achievement

Iron Box Solution

The correct solution:

Match the box pattern to landscape shapes by following the number of dots displayed at the bottom of the box.

This puzzle is purely pattern recognition.

Star Location Achievement

Twinkle of the North Star

Look near the Deneb constellation:

The North Star sits slightly below and to the left.

Final Completion Achievement

The Mermaid’s Curse

Unlocked automatically after earning every other achievement in the game.

Paranormasight rewards curiosity more than skill. Most missed achievements happen because players rush through story choices or overlook hidden mechanics rather than failing difficult challenges.

Approach the game patiently, explore every option, and treat each route as a piece of a larger puzzle.
