Cleared all 55 achievements, AMA

[Squicky]

I'd figured some people would have questions so I made this post, but maybe I'm wrong and you can just let this post sink

[C1REX]

How many hours?
What was the most difficult?
Any advices on most missable?

[Trilkin]

How long did it take to grind to level 99 and did you do it on NG or NG+?

It took me 64 hours on max difficulty.
I'm not sure if it's skippable, but there is an achievement for helping all the neurons (white ones).

How many hours?
Game says 53, Steam 70, truth should be something in between because there's no way I spent 17h idle on the game, I almost always closed it. I'd say 65 would be the closest to reality

What was the most difficult?
There is that one optional boss fight that is really a skill check : Simon

Any advices on most missable?
Did 100% without NG+, the only missable would be to me in the Prologue : The Mime
However since it is in the prologue you can just start a new save and get the achievement in < 5 minutes

I do have a doubt though if it is missable, something has to be done with an old key, and I can't remember where I got it. During the prologue I think, and I don't know if it can be missed. That would seem weird to me that this would be the only missable as they even dublicate something you could miss in the prologue so you can get it afterwards

I did this on the location before the secret boss. There, 6 million experience drops for 3 fights near the boss. + Lumina and resources.

I did it on NG ; after completing everything else my main character was lvl 90 already. Found a zone to farm and a setup to do it which is pretty easy. It wasn't really interesting at that point, but it took me like 2h farm for those 10 last levels I think? With the correct fight setup (fights giving ~1M xp in <20secs fights)

No questions. Just congratulation on 100 % !

[Harland Higgins]

Did the same thing and Simon was definitely the worst one to get

Reminded me a bit of my tryhard on Pantheon 5 from Hollow Knight, and the relief of finally having it done was the same! :D

About missables :

That would seem weird to me that this would be the only missable as they even duplicate something you could miss in the prologue so you can get it afterwards

Oh and I'm not even sure this would lock you out of 100%, but if someone is giving you what seems to be a quest, don't obliterate this person before doing the quest (I just know that doing it after changes a bit the outcome but does not lock you out)

The beach minigames are required ; and yes especially one of them is a pain... But this shouldn't take too long as there are not that many mini games

But I don't think there are missables ; just be careful when going around lvl 33/66, people seem to not have the achievement by leveling up from 32 to 34 directly for exemple

[Lukas]

Completed all in 53 hours. There are only 2 missables achievement. 1) The mime in the prologue, but is not a big deal as you can NG+ and do it quickly. The other are the journals. In the prologue if you don't trade 1 coin for the old key you cannot open a certain door in ACT II which contains a journal.

[Lillith]

i cant master the combat for the live of me....very hard for me even on story mode and watching combat guides....I might quit. I was fine in the beggining but 10 hours or so in and Im about to give up

The difference is from dying and reloading. Steam keeps counting but your save time keeps reloading.
