TPAoE Minimal-Spoilers Walkthrough
By lake.kubilius
I've written this walkthrough to be as brief and spoiler-free as practical. Honestly, I suggest you not use it. The game isn't overly difficult, and goofing around in it is half the fun. But since getting stuck in a point & click adventure game can be... awful... I'm happy to provide this as a quick push back onto the path.

Ah, never mind, I found all my questions easily answered in another guide. Haha!

Great guide, easy to follow whenever I got stuck. I am, however, still missing a few achievements. Does anyone know how to get Death by Coup d'Etat, Death by Genocide/Sunburn, and/or Death by Jumping? Anything clue-like or resembling hints would be very helpful. :confusedensher:

Yeah, I agree with bridgeofblues.

Also, I think you might be misinterpreting at least somewhat. When I said I wrote this to be as short as possible, I really meant that.

Doing a speedrun of this game would be... wildly missing the point.
