so, 100% achievements...

Damn, I just realized how much ♥♥♥♥ is actually required for this. Im at endgame on nightmare, and i only have like 71% items or some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like that. what?!?! i don't even know.

still need 100% map, i'm guessing all material locations (♥♥♥♥?), all chests, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. is there a NG+? can I go down to easy on NG+?

[FlashStep]

Also, my quest completion is low as ♥♥♥♥ even though ive done all but the stupid mega weapon testing cause i cant kill the damn creature.

Does it count those weird hidden quests for tickles and mouse info im guessing?

Yeah there is a NG+ and you can keep all of your progress and start on any difficulty you want. Although chests and quests reset. All chest are fairly easy to find except the one in the second half of the Tower of Providence. Where you have to fall down from the yellow platform just before final solid platform in dash obstacle. As far as I know all quest appear on boards, but some are time exclusive so you have to do them very fast or you will miss them. Whenever you make major progress(NPC have new things to say) in the game you should visit all available boards(or read FAQ's/walkthroughs) to make sure you have all of the quests. Map completion is pain in the ass, try to look at your map and see if some of the areas on the map are not quite as clear as they should be, that's how I found my missing areas. This game really wants you to lick EVERY corner of its map. Also before finishing the game do all of the weapon quests and make sure you've found all 3 sun stones that are needed to make ultimate weapons. You'll need those quests to 100% your item collection on a NG+ playthrough. Make sure that you've unlocked all of the skills of characters before finishing as these can only be unlocked by defeating strong enemies that cannot be more than 5 levels below your characters level adol has 12 skills and others have 10 each.

Do dungeon areas count towards map completion or is it just the outside areas? Also, if a dungeon has an icon of a leaf or a mining thing above it, does that mean im missing some nodes inside?

Also the tickle and mouse things do not appear on boards, i read a guide that verified this

As for the weapon quests, im having trouble with the mega weapon quest from selray. I cant kill the damn creature for it, it has too much hp and spews too much ♥♥♥♥ at me (im on nightmare)

Best way to deal with the plant that worked for me was by using Karna and using her basic attacks agains it just far enough that they would hit the plant. The plant doesn't react at all as long as you don't aggro it, if you do than move back so that plant looses it aggro. Than when it has just few hp left finish it using the character who needs the kill(do not try this against the one that is standing in mud as your other characters will likely start jumping around like maniacs and will most likely aggro the plant). Most people seem to say that dungeons do count in map completion, but just entering one should be enough. Are tickle and mouse things counted as quests anyway? I don't recall them appearing in my journal as such. Still they work in very similar way to how new quest appear if there is new NPC dialogue there is probably new info to buy or tickle session to be had and before final dungeon there is not one but two tickle sessions available. Map has resource icons next to dungeons regardless if you have found all or just some. When you view dungeon icon on a map it does however show you all different resources you've found so far from that dungeon. Each entry that consist of lines is unknown resource that you have not yet found. If you've lot of line entries next to your dungeon resource list, than you might be missing some resource points, but it might be just bad luck and you have already found all resources points, just not all rarer materials. I still have couple line entries myself although I've already found all resource points.

1. Only overworld map completion counts.

2. If you are missing a chest it's almost guaranteed to be in the overworld, because the ones in dungeons are hard to overlook. There are a few in completely optional areas for example in the Underground Ruines and the Laboratory though. I would suggest to have a quick look at dungeon maps to see if you completely missed a room before you look on the overworld map.

3. There is much more map in the game than you need to reach 100%. You can get 100% before you even enter some parts of the map. In any case, scrap the edges of every new area you enter. The earlier maps are pretty simple so it's easier to run around every edge, and you won't have to do it without the more complex final maps because you will already have 100% by the time you reach them.

4. Overall, just explore as much as you can and then use a completed map you can find online as a reference to compare every area of the overworld with your map. It's easy to see which chests and harvest points you are missing.

5. For dungeons, do what I suggested above for the chests. You only have to look for missing harvest points in dungeons if you are missing entries in the dungeon overview when you select it in the world map. You can also find lists online of how many entries should be on your list for each dungeon.

6. For the weapon quest, just ignore it until you are at the end of the game and then just spam special skills with high stun rate, like Calilica's stun impact, and weapons which can freeze or paralize. You can simply upgrade the ultimate weapons you get later to +72 as well and use those. The weapon you get from the quest isn't very good and it's pointless to waste your time on killing the plants using a safe ranged strategy.
