Checkpointless

[Ah! So Spider!]

I'm playing Propeller Knight's stage in Plague of Shadows, and getting extremely pissed. I was thinking... Could I go through once and destroy all but the last, and then go through again and destroy only the last? Would that still count as destroying them all? Going for them all in one run is seriously making me want to strangle a baby.

[SonicBoomNFA]

Yes, that would count; or it SHOULD, at least.

No actually, it doesn't count. You have to destroy them all in one run of the stage.


Dying has no penalty, but destroying all checkpoints before completing a level is a requirement. I don't think you should try to play the same stage twice in one game, I'm not sure if the achievement will pop if you do.

I know this because other people haev tried it your way, and got really disappointed at the end when the achievement didn't pop and they had to do it all over again.

[Ah! So Spider!]

That's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You can't give people ♥♥♥♥♥♥ levels like Propellor Knight's stage and just not let that be an option.

Achievements are achievements for a reason. At least in this game.

[Ah! So Spider!]

Also, do you only have to do it once? I'm going back through one level to get Cipher Coins i missed, and do I have to destroy all of the checkpoints again?

Once you destroy a checkpoint and beat the level, the checkpoint is gone forever. I think.

Unless you mean gone forever in the CODE, then no. I'm at the last checkpoint right no.

Well, oh well; guess you have to do it the hard way. I accidentally did it for his stage twice because I did it once to get it over with and then a second time as I went through all the previous levels cause I forgot I had already done it. I can attribute this to the Spin Burst (the one that covers you in electricity or whatever and let's you spin through enemies); it is very useful. You can do it without it, but it certainly speeds up the process.
Also, for the boss, don't forget to keep jumping when he tries to blow or suck you, but ALWAYS try to not use up your double jump in that fight. You need it if you're about to fall into a pit.

I think you should avoid going back to a previous level you completed without destroying the checkpoints.

Try to get either the Cipher Coin achievement or the Checkpointless one, not both in the same game. That's asking for a major headache.

??? You can easily do both in the same file. Just destroy all the checkpoints in each level after you'rre fully upgrade or find all the cipher coins; it doesn't even matter which order you do that in either. Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're telling him?

If you've destroyed all the checkpoints in a level, you don't have to do it again when you revisit the level.

Yes you are.

First you come in and give incorrect information. Then you give advice you're unsure of. And now you've started babbling on your personal opinion.

You might want to stop. You're not helping.

No, you're the one not helping right now. You're giving information that I interpreted as time-wasting; that's why I asked if I was reading it wrong. The advice I gave I was completely sure of because it was what I did when I went through the stages (in fact, I gave credence by mentioning the fact that I did Propeller Knight's stage twice with no checkpoints on accident). YOU might want to stop; you're causing an unneccessary scene. I tried to ask if I was misinterpreting what you were saying so that you could explain, not act up like a child and try to be confrontative. Calm down.

It's almost as though it's an optional _acheivement_.

Everyone complains about Propeller Knight's​ stage in every campaign, dude (it's the worst, especially in Shovel Knight's campaign).
