Introduction
I had to play the twice game because of the missable achievements so I figured that a guide will help other people to get them all in one playthrough. I'll also list some guidance in case people are stuck, plus listing the point of no returns that have missable achievements.

This will unlock the locked room in Banks of the Achromatopsia River.
Invisible code
Find the access to Taiyo Beam’s red symbol

In Lower Wings, after you learn uppercut, do an uppercut from the box and dash or charge to the left. You'll reach a room with red symbol.
In the house of the dudes
Find Taiyo Beam’s hidden room
Location: Yellow/Desert area
In Oasis, instead of putting the meditation code to go to the other side of the Oasis, put this code instead: □, >, ∴ . You can find both yellow and blue symbols in the other side of the Oasis and the red symbol when you get the Invisible code achievement.
I’m bringing beers
Find Ougai Rain’s hidden room

The symbols are found in tricky places, here are they:

A room with a view
Find the Floppy Disk on the Technocrats’ balcony in the Capital
Location: Blue/Water area
It's obtainable after you pick up a telephone call in the Old Telephone Box. Head to the west exit and follow the path to reach a switch. This will open the area south of the crying child. Head inside that area and take the Office Key next to the mother. Bring the Office Key to the Capital to access Communal Terrace.
You should be able to get the achievement after you obtain the disk in the Capital, but there's one more thing you can do. Use the disk on the pirate statue in "Access to the Onsen, the Thermal Baths". Defeat the boss to get another backup floppy disk.
Your buddy’s room
Find Johnny Heat’s hidden room

You can only do this after you unlock dash stab power-up. In Transcriptor's Barrow, break the red door. Use the teleporter with the code from the previous area: v, ▽, > . You'll reach Johnny Heat's Room.
Retrieving memory
Retrieve all the fragments of the Backup Floppy Disk
You'll get it after you obtain the last backup disk. You should be able to get all backup disks if you get the previous achievements, but I'll list them here anyway.

3. Read I’m bringing beers
4. Read A room with a view to get a floppy disk.
