Swordbreaker: Origins (Xbox One) - Walkthrough overviewUpdate notes

Hello everyone and welcome to my first walkthrough for TA. I hope this simplifies what, on the face of it, is a daunting completion considering there are a required 20 playthroughs for the full 1,000G. However, rest assured that each playthrough should only take 5-10 mins per run, depending on how quickly (and accurately) you enter the number choices for the particular story run.

Before we go any further I need to shout out the absolutely incredible u/Dwaggienite for their forum post which contained the data for the walkthrough. I was so impressed with the level of detail and accuracy that I reached out for consent to create this walkthrough so it is more visible to the site and players.
Swordbreaker Origins (Xbox One) has 68 achievements, all of which are story related and can be earned offline.

By nature of the guide, there may be some spoilers in achieving an ending relating to a specific achievement, but it shouldn't be too soul-destroying if this occurs.

The only other thing to point out is that there is technically one missable achievement:

A Curious One

Learned more about the world and Daniel from the dialogues

A Curious One
Offline Mode - These achievements require play in game modes that do not necessitate a connection to any online services.Single Player - These achievements can be obtained by a single player.Missable - These achievements can be missed.

But by following this guide, it should be the last achievement you pop.


I'd also like to call out that even though the temptation might be to just click the corresponding button sequence for the achievements, I actually found the story to be quite interesting and engaging, and I especially enjoyed my second playthrough of this game when I was focusing more on my choices to make sure all the achievements popped when they did. I'd encourage you to do the same, it's underrated imo!

Swordbreaker: Origins (Xbox One) - General hints and tips

For Hints and Tips it's going to be very bare bones in what we'll be pressing. You're mainly going to be using the cn_left and cn_right buttons to select your story dialogue choices which range from 1-5. There are a few mini games that are puzzle and maze based, but nothing that should prove too challenging.

I will present each run as a number string relating to the achievement it pops, along with the categorization of what the run is for. An example of this can be found below.


Playthrough #1 (Hero Ending + Skeleton Help):


Inputting the story choices of 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 2 3 (choose medallion) 1 2 1 2 5 (choose to get skeleton help) will successfully pop:

Good Catch!

Return the medallion to the fisherman skeleton

Good Catch!


The only other thing of note is that once you have completed one of the mini games/puzzles, you'll be presented with either cn_X or cn_Y to skip this.
This will all make more sense in the format of the walkthrough, so without any further ado, lets jump in to Swordbreaker: Origins.

Swordbreaker: Origins (Xbox One) - Story walkthrough

Okay, let's jump in to Swordbreaker: Origins.


Playthrough #1 (You will unlock the Hero ending & Skeleton help):


  • 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 5 will unlock:
    Good Catch!

    Return the medallion to the fisherman skeleton

    Good Catch!


In the next number input selection you will come across a mini game where you need to match pairs of fire stones so that all the pieces align seamlessly. This can be a little tricky at first, but you get used to it very quickly.

During my two playthroughs of this, it seemed to be randomized which pieces clearly aligned, so you need to take care when selecting. One thing to note is that mini games only need to be completed once, and if you encounter them again you'll be given the cn_X option to skip.



Congrats, playthrough 1/20 done!

At this point, you should have unlocked NG+ God Mode via the Main Menu. For all remaining playthroughs, when starting a new game, choose NG+ God Mode instead, as this makes you immortal. You will still be able to get death scenes, but you should respawn back at the previous scene, instead of dying to the menu.
