The following achievements will be gained through Dark Void's campaign, completing various episodes and chapters.

Prologue - 15pts - complete prologue, very easy points as this portion of the game is quite short.

Crash Site - 15pts - complete the crash site, normal combat starts here, another relatively easy 15.

The Village - 15pts - all you do here is literally follow a villager for a couple of minutes, no combat no difficult jumps, nothing.

Spare Parts - 15pts - in this chapter you collect various parts from plane wreckages on the island, first major use of jet packs.

Village Attack - 15pts - another chapter completion nets you a respectable 15 points.

Into the Void - 30pts - as this chapter is the end of the episode, its worth twice the points. Boo-yah.

Prophesied One - 15pts - basically you have to escort and defend survivors, its only frustrating due to the AI's stupidity and recklessness.

The Survivors - 15pts - surivive an arial fight, rescue some survivors, and boom, 15 more points.

Prison Escape - 15pts - this one was a bit frustrating and time consuming, destroy three generators and, as the name implies, rescuee the prisioners.

Breaking Camp - 30pts - a bunch of aerial action, somewhat difficult, good for another 30.

Defending the Ark - 15pts - babysit and protect the ark from a variety of aerial baddies, can be a bit irritating.

The Collector -15pts - shoot your way out of the giant organism by blasting its bile ducts and such, remarkably easy given how late in the game it is.

The Revolt - 15pts - after breaking out of prison yourself, help the ark escape the stronghold. Be ready to pick up your foe's weapons, ammo is scarce here.

Tower of Return - 30pts - you basically just have to beat the final boss, a weird dragon thing. Shoot its midsection in various positions until a button sequence appears, you'll have to do it twice.

Dark Void - 100pts - beat the game, this will be accomplished after previous achievement. Congratulations.

Ultimate Bad Ass- 60pts - complete game on hardcore difficulty. Any reason why its worth less than beating the game on a lesser difficulty?

There a few weapons upgrade achievements in Dark Void. Upgrades are typical in this action/adventure titles and Capcom's following suit here. The upgrades are made through tech points, which are a currency obtained by killing watchers.

Pack Rat - 30pts - acquire 30,000 tech points, extra hint here, do this before upgrading weaponry unless you absolutely need to do otherwise.

Tesla's Apprentice - 15pts - upgrade first weapon, this is pretty self-explanatory, you'll have the option to do so when you find a weapon box or the beginning of any new level.

Grease Monkey - 30pts - upgrade all weapons. This is simple enough, just takes time to acquire all weapons and enough tech points.

Dear Diary - 15pts - find a journal, throughout the game you find journals randomly placed. They provide insight into the plot/subplots of the game and some can be very difficult to find. You can access the journals in the pause menu and see how many you've already found and how many more are still missing.

Bookworm - 30pts - find all journals, most are not hidden cleverly or anything like that, its just there's so much ground to cover that you'll unknowingly pass a journal or two. After you beat the campaign, your radar will be upgraded to show all collectibles.
