I have just tried creating a new save file with the seed "VELLE" and it worked, also i didn't think about getting the sword after i finish the game.. thanks for this idea (I'm going to play this run swordless and on permadeath for the achievement)

It would be awesome if you make a full walkthrough on Youtube, it will help a lot of people.

There's already a video walkthrough, made by the developer himself, in one of the pinned threads (which also has a comment demonstrating that the VELLE seed has a special effect compared to other seeds). If I were to make a walkthrough, it would likely be in Steam Guide format rather than video format (I have never made a video and published it to YouTube, but I have published several Steam Guides).

From the aforementioned discussion thread, I have been corrected concerning a couple of things:
-It is indeed possible to use seeds with fewer than six letters.
-For version 1.0.1 and later, possessing the Victor's Emblem prevents the progress-blocking thickets from appearing, even if you start another Normal run.

A steam guide is probably the best solution.

i have talked with another guy who got all the items in the game and he told me he used a kilo bombs in the area with 4 hovering balls and he got an item...i did the same so many times but i got nothing. Maybe it is an error that is now patched on the pc version or my save file is corrupted.

EDIT: I have just found out that the item given by the 4 balls isn't needed for the 100% achievement. The Wizard(Dev) said so in another discussion

Also, I believe the game requires the full 6 letters for a seed. Maybe "VELLEE"?

Actually, it will take any number of letters 1 or more. So "A" is a perfectly acceptable seed. Though, what it does behind the scenes is deterministically add letters to that seed based on that seed. So it seeds its random number generator with whatever letters you give it, then uses those random numbers to generate the remaining letters. So basically all seeds are six letters whether or not you give it six letters. When you are playing world seed VELLE you are actually playing VELLEW. Another little tidbit, there are 25 other seeds which start with Velle playable.

P.S.: I've been thinking about playing through a new seed to 100% items and map and making a full walkthrough for that particular seed. If I do follow through on this thought, I might edit in a link to it once it's finished.

That's really cool man! Thanks for sharing your advice. You really know your stuff.

Correct, the diamond stashes do not count towards 100%. The sword does, however.

What QuaestComm said about not crafting elements with the Ghost Sword until after you have done the two swordless dungeons is critical for getting 100%, as the PS4 version doesn't have the Ghost Hat that automatically transfers the elemental effects in swordless dungeons. You do however want to have Ice and/or Acid crafted with something else like bombs or the blink orb so that you can get all the secrets in the swordless dungeons.

I came across another problem..in dungeon 2 you unlock the ghost sword and with that you should be able to finish the dungeon. Sad thing that i can't use the sword (Sworderless run). Does it mean that i can't go to the ship? (Dungeon 2 gives teleport as reward)

Oh damn. I forgot about that one too. That was fixed in the PC version as well. Basically if you have the Ghost Sword in a swordless run then the Top Hat will be able to knock down those Ghost Pillars. This is another thing that will be in the PS4 version on the next update.

There may be a way around the Ghost Pillars though, as there are often secret paths. What world seed did you end up using?

I am currently using the seed VELLE

Luckily there is indeed a way to beat that dungeon without the ghost sword. From the entrance, walk through the secret wall to the east, then walk south, then bomb through the wall to the east to access the switch room.

Hi Everyone and Wizard!

After a couple of days dying over the internet trying to find the answers to some questions relative to PS4 trophies (c’mon, friend of durin, walk towards your place! lol) I found myself reading almost all songbringer topics here.

Firstly, I just want to congratulate you on your game, Wizard. The minimal sound, the retro graphics (a little bit ‘dirty’ at first, but it grows on you a lot afterwards), the Zelda like principles… and the items! I bought because of them actually. I love them complex and varied items lol
I don´t think I have what it takes to plat, given I’m no good with speed runs, permadeath etc, but I noticed that, currently, no one on ps4 has plat as of today. It is due to the players’ competence or there is some bug currently preventing the 100% Items trophy?

To the second and most important question;
I find myself just as Lyuca, to the minimal detail, in regards to the 100% map trophy. I currently have 99% map and 87% items, being pretty sure that I did 100% of the ship (I saw this post before going there). I already used meditation on all over world map squares, dungeons, tunnels, secrets caves etc. what am I missing? I have one, just one map square with a secret in it (it’s a overworld part with one big tree in the middle of an inlet in the middle of a lake connected to the rest by a wooden bridge). Is that it? I tried eeeeeeverything and at this point, 11 hours in, I don´t mind spoilers anymore.

Another question: will the patch (1.0.3, I guess?) showing the % of completion still come for PS4?

Ps: I did everything QuaestComm said in his tips.
Ps2: I still have the horned guy take me to the room with the two green pillars and a square hole in the middle, but only conversation happens there. Tried to do a bunch of stuff there too

Sorry for my English and thanks for your time in advance!

Hello Apokos. /o

I'm excited for you getting so far in the game already.

As to no one getting plat on PS4, this probably is a related to a bug that is already fixed in the Steam version and will indeed be coming to PS4 in the somewhat near future.

The patches (1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4 and soon 1.0.5) will all be coming to PS4 (and Xbox too) at the same time. This will be simultaneously launched with the upcoming major update. It's all coming relatively soon but please be patient as it takes time to get everything approved by Sony and Microsoft and debugged and stuff.

If you have one un-revealed map square then that is probably the one you need. I can't say for certain unless I had your Saves.txt and that is not possible as far as I know on PS4.

BTW, The upcoming major update has a new item called the Ferret Drones which help you find all 100% items by revealing their locations on your map.

The room with the two green pillars and the square hole is nothing yet, but is now something in the major update. Actually, that room does count towards getting the Smiley Gladhander achievement / trophy.

@wizard_fu
Do you have a log for all the things one needs for the smiley gladhander achievement? I assume you are not supposed to destroy Jib as soon as possible (like I did during all my NORRIS runs and hence could not get it) as you miss out on several dialogues but thats just a guess. o_O

EDIT: Nevermind,got it when fighting your friend right before the final boss. You really HAD to stick with Jib up to the end. <_<

[Wizardfu]

Nice! Glad you got it.
