In others, I had to go back to find a scroll or get one particularly pesky seal. In many cases, it was possible to entirely finish a level in my first run. What I did was to focus on each level as I played it, finding all the scrolls, doing whatever is required for each seal, and simply trying not to be detected as I went (this tends to maximize points). There are several approaches to 100% completion in this game. I would not bother with any combat-oriented unlocks until you have everything else in the game. Even then, save your points for things that might be useful later rather than purchasing unlocks available now that aren't helpful. The rest is your choice, but I wouldn't spend any points on anything but those until you have them all. You'll also need the Hangman's Hymn for one achievement, and it's helpful for another, so purchase it when available. Specifically, I used Bat's Prey, Emperor's Abyss, Twilight Gate, and Brief Shadow routinely. Focus on stealth kill techniques, which are very useful. Ignore any combat-oriented techniques when unlocking things (extra armor, a spin-kick, etc.). Stars, earned through point targets, are not awarded until the end of the level.Īs far as unlocks go, some are awarded to you during play, and some you "purchase" with points earned by obtaining seals, stars and scrolls. As soon as you have earned a seal or found a scroll, that item is unlocked permanently in both your normal playthrough and your New Game + playthrough, even if you die or immediately reset the checkpoint. You do not have to combine any of the seals, scrolls, or stars in a single playthrough. Each level has a point value that you have to get to in order to get three stars, and at some point you'll need to hit that point total when finishing the level. It's referring to the tokens you get for meeting pre-set point targets for each level. I put this in quotes because, unlike the achievement suggests, at no point in the game are these actually called stars. Most of them are fairly easy to accomplish as long as you keep them in mind as you progress. They are shown from the outset on the pause screen. In each level, there are special goals like "Get to the tower without being detected" or "Hide the bodies of five guards in dumpsters," etc. Accomplish all of the level-specific goals, called "seals" in the game.You can even get a scroll and immediately die - it will still show up as obtained. The pause menu and the level select menu show you how many you've found in each level you only have to find each one once. This is a traditional collectible: within each level there are three scrolls hidden somewhere.
