If you’re jumping into Touhou Blooming Soul, you’ll quickly realize this isn’t just a casual run-and-dodge game. There’s a lot of hidden progress tied to achievements, and some of them are easy to miss unless you know exactly what to do.
I’ll walk you through everything in a way that actually helps you complete them efficiently without turning the game into a grind fest.
Touhou Blooming Soul Achievements Guide (2026)
These are your starting achievements and mostly unlock naturally, but a few need attention.
- Thank You! simply unlocks when you open the game for the first time.
- The Dream Begins triggers when you enter the town, which happens early on.
- Basic Training is completed by finishing the tutorial or replaying it via Keine in town.
- Bootcamp Graduation requires defeating Keine during the tutorial fight, which is straightforward.
Now for the ones people miss:
- Hey, This Looks Fun! unlocks when you spin Tewi’s wheel once.
- Luck of the Draw requires 5 spins, and the fastest way is restarting the game repeatedly instead of grinding naturally.
Progression-based ones:
- Additional Growth unlocks when you upgrade any talent in Kasen’s tree.
- Deft Skill requires maxing one category in the tree.
- Ascendency is the full max of Kasen’s tree and needs around 11,055 shards, so this is a long-term goal.
Hidden combat achievements:
- Dummy from Another World A and B are unlocked by defeating Kokoro and Cirno dummies located under the town platform.
- The destroyer achievements require farming 223 Kokoro dummies and 99 Cirno dummies, which is repetitive but easy.
Other important ones:
- Convenience Store triggers after buying from Nitori’s shop.
- Lost and Found requires dying in the Dream World and buying your items back from Nazrin.
Dream World Achievements
This is where most of your progress happens.
Basic progression:
- The Journey Begins unlocks on your first Dream World run.
- Enemy kill milestones (50, 300, 1000) will happen naturally over time.
Emotion-based builds:
- The Set of Emotions (Lv1, Lv2, Lv3) achievements require stacking 3, 6, and 10 items of the same emotion, which is easier if you use Sumireko to convert items.
Collection achievements:
- All Items Collected requires finding every item at least once, which is heavily RNG-based.
- All Skills Collected requires every skill and all levels of those skills, making this one of the hardest achievements.
Combat and challenge achievements:
- All Monsters Killed includes every enemy type, including rare ones like Yukkuris.
- S Rank Challenges (1, 10, 30) require high performance in challenge rooms, and Sorrow shield builds make this significantly easier.
Special mechanics:
- Divinity Overflowing is achieved by sacrificing 6 items at the Divine Exchange to get a Phantasm item.
- Darkness Rising requires rolling all dice outcomes (1–6) in the Dark Exchange.
- Clean Sweep needs you to open every chest in a map, excluding boss and challenge rooms.
Rare enemy achievements:
- A Peculiar Red (Reimu Yukkuri) and
- A Peculiar Black (Marisa Yukkuri)
Both spawn randomly and can run away, so you need to kill them quickly.
Optimization-based:
- Skilled to Perfection requires filling every skill slot for every emotion.
- Mrs. Moneybags needs 3,000 gold in one run, which is easier with Kasen upgrades or selling items.
- King of Gamblers requires 6 consecutive wins against Sannyo, which is pure RNG.
Boss Achievements
These are tied to defeating bosses and mastering their mechanics.
General boss progress:
- The Four Emotions unlocks after your first boss.
- Emotionalism requires defeating all 8 Dream World bosses.
Challenge-related:
- Boss Challenge Mode unlocks after defeating a boss and rematching them in town.
- Boss Fight Aficionado requires defeating 10 bosses in challenge mode, which can be cheesed using strong catalog builds.
Individual boss achievements:

Examples include:
- Kogasa Tatara
- Ichirin Kumoi
- Medicine Melancholy
- Hong Meiling
- Raiko Horikawa
- Fujiwara no Mokou
- Reimu Hakurei
- Komachi Onozuka
Each is tied to specific emotion gates in chapters.
Skill-based challenges:
- No Miss requires defeating a boss without taking damage, which is easiest using defensive builds.
- Stone Cold requires defeating a boss without using emotions, so you rely on items and base mechanics.
Endgame:
- Boss Rush King is unlocked by completing Boss Rush mode from the home area.
Collections Achievements
These two will take the most time.
All Items Collected
Every item must be discovered at least once.
Item rarity tiers:

- Phantasm → Extremely rare
Best method:
- Use shops (Rinnosuke and Tewi)

All Skills Collected
You need:
- Every skill
- Every level of each skill
Important tips:
- Doremy’s shop is your best source
- Gold chests give random skills
- Reimu Yukkuri gives max upgrades
Important detail:
Even if you max a skill instantly, you still need lower levels recorded separately
This game rewards patience more than anything.
Most achievements:
- Either come naturally
- Or require long-term grinding and smart routing
If you try to force everything quickly, it’ll feel frustrating. But if you just play consistently and target specific achievements each run, you’ll hit 100% without burning out.
