One stop shop for everything you might want to look up -WIP-

Anybody who follows me knows how much i HATE having to click on 500 different places to get information. I also cannot stand trying to watch youtube, this will be a text and picture guide.

Since i am really enjoying this game, and working towards 100% achievements, how about I make a guide to help everybody else.

My goal is to make this as comprehensive as I can for as long as I am playing the game. I might stop updating this, and its cause I'm not playing it any more, if that is the case, feel free to poke me about updating it.... I might.

There are some absolutely helpful stuff that I will just link to because I cannot improve upon their awesome work! However, it will be STEAM links.

right here i will drop The official wiki [necessewiki.com] Please note is not up to date as of the time creating this, and I will not be using it for information. It will be my game play or other steam guides that I will link.

here is a disclaimer for you.

I am writing this guide for myself first, to amuse me. I can have this writing style that annoys the crap out of people, if that is you, by all means, go find a different guide, I will not change my writing style for you, unless you throw a LOT of pennies of my way, and honestly, prob not even then.

I do plan on adding screenshots eventually... though I am NOT going to worry about adding all the sprites... You can see that in game, for armor and stuff I plan on getting a room full of every set of armor/cosmetic so you can look at it... for stats and stuff guide links.... as I choose what items I am using based off of what I have to chose from and what style I am playing.

The game can be bought here from steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1169040/Necesse/

chapters that start with ** means i have tips on how to get achievements, and since the list is of achievements is public on steam, I will be sharing how without spoilers.

So far as i know, as of 5 OCT 2024 they are planning at least one more update that includes items becasue the plains is gonna have special stuff in caves and such... *yay* i only have a few more hundred items left to find (make) its a race!

so, are you ready?

in game proof


Someone has gotten all the stuff and has written a guide that includes the stuff I dont really know much about so check them out here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3309334712

recent update

the newest update has added a few more things that i kinda want to throw in this guide, but not right now.
however, i want to point out that in the journal there is now missions for you to do in each biome, like kill something in one hit, break so many of this thing, find something and so on. how i went from 1066 to 1053 items i dont know, to tired to find out.

there might (prob is) more to this update, but i was just wanting kill a little bit of time, not waste forever.

Some basic info about this game, prob pointless, feel free to skip

I was willing to give it a shot because for some reason that I haven't quite figured out, it bundles with the war crimes game that i absolutely love to play from to time.... Rimworld, I'm talking about rimworld. Fun game...

Necesse kinda feels like if Rimworld and Terraria had a baby. I'd rather play Starbound than Terraria, but this is fun.

I like 8bit art, and the customization, collection, everything this game has is kinda aimed at my humor and gameplay. there is a tiny bit of farming/ husbandry that you choose to do, or have your NPCs do for you.

It's also coop friendly, hosting a "world" and letting your friends play with you can be super fun!

You can also choose the difficulty level, that I do not have to worry about food or food spoiling or my toon wanting to eat is nice, that i can also do an extreme mode once I have got that comfy with the game is also really cool.

I'll add to this section as it comes to me, but like the title says this part is pointless and you can absolutely skip.

I think the Rimworld influence has more to do with how you interact and let your NPCs behave.

Starting a new world!

You want to make a new world, there is so many reasons for doing this! Maybe you are just starting to play, someone deleted your files, maybe you dont like your world setup, whatever! its stupid easy to make a new world!



YES BE BRTUAL! ABSOLUTELY.... kidding, i'm kidding, i am to chicken to try this, i do the most simple of options STILL.

also note, there be a little button for more things like how often raids spawn and how much you want to worry about food!

Should you choose to not spawn the guide house, the Elder still spawns with you, he just looks a little lost.



You have this shiny new world, but do you have any toons? (look i call almost all my PC toons, very rarely can you get me to call them something else) They are also pretty easy to make, the eyes might be the hardest part!. The clothing will prob get changed later!



So you have made and chosen your world, then they ask you which toon you want to play, nice thing, they tell you which world the toon was last playing on! super helpful!



So now its time to just plop you somewhere



and there is helpful little quest (that you can turn off) that teaches you how to play!

btw, if you hit the letter M, you get the map of the island you are currently on


but if you hit n, you get the world map (you can also hit world map from island map)

**Some really easy to get achievements - need guide house

if you chose to not spawn the guide house, this will not be so easy for you.
I am about to dedicate a little bit of game play doing brutal no spawn house to do this properly.

In the chest of the house there is a settlement flag that can be found in a chest. Placing that down outside will get you DO IT YOURSELF

click on the bed and let it become your new spawn point. oh look INSTANT NAP

talk to the elder and accept the quest. ADVENTURE BEGINS

there is a ladder, go down it and you are now a SPELUNKER

now, marathon runner, complete collector, & time wasted are passive and started. They will decide when to honor you. Though making your toon run around will help with runner and never closing your game while you are playing actively will help with wasting time.

Complete collector is an account wide achievement.
you can track this in the esc menu - achievements, and then clicking on it to see your version of the sprite list that has been found.


in the journal, not only can you see what is killable but the loot that is dropped by them or things you can break or open in any given area.

The traveling Merchant

This is currently the only NPC that you cannot get to live with you. They only want to buy the fragmented maps you find and sell some random stuff.

okay, not fully random, the big important things that the elder gives you for completing quest is ALWAYS in stock. Rope, pirate map, brain on a stick, and recipe book are always there. there is the jokers gambit that gets added at some point and then forever on


these guys are the only way to get music players from what i understand so if you need that achievement........
Oh, and sun glasses (that you can wear at night) for the other achievement

but they sell clothing, and other random stuff, I try to always check out what they have in stock.

due to the latest update, if they are selling animals they are going to be pulling it behind them! dont kill their animals, it makes them mad!

i'm gonna sneak this in over here

so for farming you have a handful of items
not my cabbages
carrots
pumpkin
chilipepper
corn
tomato
eggplant
rice
potato
onion
strawberry
wheat -to bread your animals
also fire, ice, sun, cave seeds will grow stuff
then you have apple, lemon, bananana, put the lime in the coconut saplings can be found in chest or you can chop the trees to steal them, and black and blue berry bushes. But be warned, some blue berry bushes want to stab you, however they will then become a cute temp summon that you can use from time to time, they aren't always effective... sometimes they dont want to move, and sometimes they will run out of sight to kill things.

**Super easy, barely an inconvenience achievables

This will take a little work on your part, but can get pretty quickly without that much effort.
this really isn't in any order. I am chaos.

HORDER
You need at least a pickax and pref a weapon for this one, but destroying just about everything in site (id recommend not your starting house) but you just need to have an inventory full of different items

WATCH ME!
You are bound to pick up a trinket, they have special places in your inventory to be useful and do all kinds of stuff. I like the ones that give me extra summons, but I'll explain that later!

TOURIST
This is where hitting N can be important. But if you leave the safety of the land, you can swim, it is faster with a boat or hoverboard. you get to the world map and realize that there is a few different types of biomes, each with their own things you can find there. I'll get into more detail later BUT there is Forest/Plains (which can have villages and dungeon entrances) snow (which can have village), desert (which can have a village), swamp, I am not sure if dungeon entrance and pirate village is needed to be visited to count.

MY JAM
you need to buy a music player and then play a vinyl on it. I am currently trying to collect one of each vinyl, I might make a list

HOT TUB
if you find a pot of fire resistance and take a swig then run around on lava, you get this one.

SELF PROCLAIMED
oh, you found some gold, smelt the ore, sure make a crown and put it on!

DEMOLITION EXPERT
you keep finding those bombs right? maybe throw one or 10 at some bad guys. Some have a time delay takes a tiny bit of effort.

HOME ALONE
I have been stealing traps and stuff, and waited way to long. As fast as you can make the wire stuff set up small kill box to lead raiders into. I had to cycle them around mine for like a minute because it was later game.



WARDROBE ON THE GO!
You might find this, you might make this, you might buy this, you might earn this. But just a little bit of work, and suddenly you get a notification.


I am working on getting every set of clothing... this toon refuses to make furntiture items, so i only have as many manaquins as i have found in the pirate villages.
the toon not making furniture is a thing i have chosen for myself to humor myself. its not an actual limitation.

GRAVE DIGGER
in forest and plains caves there are stone rooms that have vampires (who can turn into bats) and if you break items in those rooms you can get loot as well as this achievement.

SAFETY LAST
this one i happened across by accident. You will find levers all around underground, and switching them normally makes TNT go boom nearby, sometimes you are in range.... unless you are paying close attention, you might not know that in time.

HEADHUNTER
you should totally invite people to live in your settlement. ..... they can be quite demanding and I will explain more detail about that... but getting someone other than an elder to join you, some how, will pop this.

TEAM WORK
After inviting someone to live with you, most are willing to join your team and help you fight.

COMPANION FOR ADVENTURE
there are a handful of pets... like penguins, who will happily follow you around wherever you will go, pointless little things if you don't count the cute factor. buying their summon item seems to be a thing, i normally kill them until they just drop it.

VILLAGE HELPER
the annoying i mean great elder asked for your help and you did the thing, YAY have an achievement and hopefully useful item.

FIRST OF MANY
so you killed a boss... good job, maybe kill it a few more times so you get all the loot, and btw, there is a lot more bosses... most you want to kill multiple times for loot.


Now there is 20 things you can get within the first hour or two, with three being passively gotten in the background.

**It takes several types to make a village

So you want to get the achievement COMPLETE HOST?
Cool, there are some NPCS that are harder to get than others...
Also, everybody has to be on the map at the same time, if someone is off map for any reason, it wont pop until they come back home.

Most of the NPC types will visit your village and you can recruit them that way. But that is not the only way.

You can choose to let the NPCs take whatever armor and weapons from storage so they can be as up to date as you own gear.

I will post what I know about recruiting them. OH, and maybe don't have a summoning item in your hand when you try to talk to them. If you hit them to many times they will do everything in their power to kill you.

The order is the order my game has them in. They seem to be grouped by type.

Some NPCs sell stuff. I dont know all the ones that do.

ELDER

~the quest giver who does what he wants, which is to defend the area you set.

First off, you are always, ALWAYS gonna have an elder. I think I have seen some of my pawns become the new elder when the old one dies. But I haven't tried to confirm this.

The elder is gonna lead you to go to each biome, then each cave, and then each deep cave, before randomly sending you places. There are specific items you will get for killing bosses, like bottles that send you places, a hoverboard mount, and a few other really nice items. btw, if you put your quest item, ammo bag, or coin pouch in your void pouch/bag, you have to take it out to use it.

The random quest that he gives have a few different rewards, but there is 4 trinkets that he can give out that will combine into a really nice one. I have only gotten two so far.

FARMER

~ this guy spreads the poop around

okay, so the fertilizer is made from plants and stuff, not poop. but your farmer will spread the stuff around where you tell them to

BLACKSMITH

~ hi Perrin

i really only got this one for the achievement.

MAGE

~ why are so many trapped in the dungeon?

You can buy magic books from them to make an achievement, they will enchant your stuff with random buff instead of using the scrolls you find with very clear buffs written on them. They might also curse your item, so you waste more gold enchanting it again.

I know i have seen them in the snow village, but freeing them in the dungeon means you get them for free. I feel really bad for these guys, which is why i have FIVE. and just refused to free more, why cant you set them free without them joining your village, yeah, you could banish them after, but that feels so mean.

ARTIFICER I can confirm that you can get this by using a scroll as well as a mage. The scroll actually lets you know what you are getting!

HUNTER

~ happily runs around killing all the cute stuff on the map

this guy, who was my last (and hardest to find, wtf?) recruit, wants gold, wool, and leather normally to join your village. They are almost always on your starting island and will walk in your town like they belong to your village which is why i thought i had one.

but they hunt and provide free meat for your village. yay?

GUNSMITH

~ sells things that go pew pew!

recruited for the achievement

ALCHEMIST

~ prob thinks liquids in a bottle are cool

i haven't interacted much with this one outside of recruiting them.

ANGLER

~ here is someone who is way to interested in fishing

this guy will fish around your island, providing free meat for your people to cook and eat, it makes them really happy to have this.

I believe you can also pay him to go fish for things for you, because fish is how you MAKE some of the potions in the game, i really should be utilizing this more...

I guess now is a good time to talk about the 2 fishing achievements? There is a late game rod that will cast 2 lines at once letting you get DOUBLE CATCH

there is also MORE THAN A HOBBY where you fish up a total of 500 items, i do not know if this account wide, i assume so, and i think its how many items come up, not how many times you have fished and caught items. I have been working on other stuff to much to really try to get this one.

PAWNBROKER

~ wanna make coins while getting rid of stuff?

this guy shows up randomly, and wants to be impressed by how big your village is before joining you, rumor mill is at least 8 people, and some talk of other ways, I dont know, and I only give out information I'm sure of.

but this guy will buy items, any item, and that is rare. a handful of guides willl tell you to sell your flowers to them, pretty valid, its super easy to grow flowers, but i also sell old gear that none of my villagers want any more, any duplicate of a vinyl that I own i really should sell all the duplicate trinkets. at one point the elder gives you a coin bag and by that point i had 6 full stacks of coins in my void pouch.

EXPLORER

~ these guys will go get the loot that you missed in places you have been

I have found these guys in deep caves, I forget what they want from you to join your village.

but if you offer this guy money, they will visit biomes you have been to and "explore" they will also give you the odds of them being successful. I dont believe 80% as 80%, they never seems to succeed when they says that.

MINER

~ they will go get raw ore for you!

When you are down in the caves, they are normally down there to, to recruit one they typically want money and ore.

Once they are in your village you can pay them to go gather ore that you have entered the cave for. They typically come back with ore, stone, and SOMETIMES gems >.> only sometimes.... i really need more rubes for crystallized!

ANIMAL KEEPER

~ want someone to take care of the farm critters?

I know I have seen Animal keepers in snow village biomes. and while I haven't seen them put food in the feeders, they do milk my cows and sheer my sheep, and I'm assuming slaughter the animals when I'm not watching (i don't like having more than 20)

STYLIST

~ so you wanna change your look?

pirate villages tend to have at least one of these poor souls tied up. They can be rescued for free just by talking to them. and yes, you can talk to them before you beat up the pirate, though you might take damage. I haven't been paying attention in towns to see if they are there and recruitable, i just know they are free this way.

FEELING STYLISH is achieved when pay to change your appearance. Maybe you dont like how your eyes look?

They also have a lot of clothes for sale.

BROKEN PIRATE

~ you beat them up and now they respect you.

you can accidently find pirate villages, or you can buy a location to one of their villages from the traveling merchant. But they sit in the center of their island and will fight you! in a flying ship shooting cannons!
After making them crash into the ground, they are willing to join you. They sell some stuff, the spy glass is used in a trinket!

GUARD

~ they will only haul things for you.
They will visit you, and I know I have seen them in snow towns.

SECRET SERVICE you need 2 guards wearing the cosmetic sunglasses, blazers, and dress shoes. sunglasses can be gotten from the traveling merchant, while the shirt and shoes can be bought from stylist.

VILLAGER

~ their special is they have nothing special about them
They only seem to want money to join your village, you can find them in villages and they visit you.

Did you know there is character cap to sections in guides?

How should you build your town?!

There is no wrong answer.

Every NPC needs their own bed, and they would rather have their own room, the bigger and more filled the better. Also, they want a floor to cover every single block of ground.


This is how i do my rooms currently, inside is 9x9 and i use dungeon items. in one corner I use a display thing with an item that I think represents whatever the person is, miner gets ore, explorer gets a vase, etc...


While it doesn't seem to be needed, my npcs actually do use the bathroom i made.


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2984364688
I love this guide for making craft rooms :D btw, not only can you choose to have villagers stock specific items in whatever chest, but you can also name said chest, and sprites that you have in your or its inventory is something you can put as a name.


Sheep give wool, needed for some armor sets as well as other things. mutton when killed
Cows give milk, leather and beef when killed
pigs are for killing? yay pork? oh chickens, chickens lay eggs and quite easily over populate x.x
also with the latest mod you have to have at least 1 male in the pen, a ram, bull, i think its pig for male and sow for female, now i forget, and roster/hen.

Also you can see that I have a very tiny farmland, it is 4 of each farmable item. which seems to be enough for my people to be happy from food.

on my current map i have 5x5 farmplots of everything and their is NOT enough places to stash the food... next map gets much smaller farm plots... or more kitchens!


You can tell them areas like farmland needs fertilizing, trees to be cut and replanted, animals to be taken care of and slaughtered if to many, chest to auto fill, and things to auto make.

I am not sure this world has a dining room, which is my bad... settlers like to sit and chillax.
also, they like food, having everything grow and telling them to make food in the kitchen will make them super happy as they eat all kinds of meals, whatever they want.

You prob want a cooler unless your food doesn't rot.

There is wiring, gates, traps, buttons and other stuff, and outside of the home alone achievement, i haven't messed with this. It prob deserves its own section, but right now? this is what you are getting.

**that "c" button is important to your town!

The default button for mucking with your settlement is the letter "c" why? i don't know, cause c is for cookie and that's good enough for me? I mean, cookies can be pretty tasty right?

Unless you have made the world settings be the villagers stay no matter what, like me for my first bit of playing, you need to keep the villagers happy. and I haven't really seen any guide that fully explains what that means. It was the first thing I went to look up because my people complained about 6*4 rooms being to small.

Now, they can complain about having a tiny room but still have 100 happiness because everything else in their life is amazing.

oh btw, if they get 10 happiness you get CLOUD NINE

Earlier in the guide I explained how i made their rooms. I like using furniture from the same set, and omg is it easy to get full stacks of dudgeon stuff (minus the bathrooms, there isn't many potty places in the wizards domain for some reason) you can make furniture, I'm lazy, i have chest almost full of just one type of wood but I'm not making, nor telling my people to make stuff with it.

But not only do people need bedrooms, and they will grudgingly share rooms, more beds means more complaints, but they need food, and they want their diet to be varied. They like meals, which means you are prob going to want to make a pot as soon as you can, because having both a spit and a pot until you can make the cooking station, will let you make a large selection of food.

Telling your villagers to craft will take more time than you doing it yourself (by the way if you hold umm... is it ctrl or shift? while clicking an item will let you make up to a full stack in one click) except for making ore, which is throw stuff in the forge and let the people fish it out. when you tell the villagers to make something the default setting is do until you have 100, which you can tell to do so many times and change that number around. I normally set the food to 100 so there is always plenty of food. Same with ore, you typically don't need more than 100 at a time, and you can just as easily go throw stuff in the doodad and they will put it in the chest.

oh your settlers WILL NOT RESPAWN, except for the elder, and i honestly believe the oldest of your current village just becomes one. your settlers will defend the area set to defend or that they are told to watch. They will happily steal what they believe to be the bestest armor and weapon for them, and I believe you can make them wear cosmetic clothing as well, i haven't tried it, but there is slots.


This will tell you who was told to do what as well as one click telling them they are free to go about their business.


See, they have armed themselves. I do make whatever of the best sets that i currently can after making sure that I have the best set that I want made for me.


in the settings tab you can change the name of the village, i dont know what public does, and i haven't tried to abandon my settlement yet.


Okay, this is a bad screen grab, because you can only see some of the farm area and chest that i have set to be filled by villagers, I dont think i have anything outside of the cooking pot with orders for them to make stuff, you cant see the forestry or handling area. But you can add areas and you can even color code them.


this is also not the bestest screen grab, but on the priorities tab you can set specific settlers to prefer to do certain things. if it has an x its not gonna do a thing, - mean whatever, ^,^^,^^^, is 1-3 of i wanna do it, number 3 being i'm gonna make sure this gets done. there is a v,vv,vvv, 3v means they are gonna avoid it like a someone having a boring project assigned to them, anything but that, please, anything but that, someone else will do it right?

defend is a blue overlay and shows the area that if something hositle is in the area they will fight it if they can get to it.

the other two are things i haven't played with and I dont want to give bad info.

**Some stuff about bosses

First lets spend just a bit to talk about the bosses, its easy.
Each biome has a few bosses, and they seem to each have their own little special attack or thing about them. How, when, and where you can spawn them is pretty important. Though you can use the spawner MANY TIMES to fight a lot of them at once, get that loot faster! as long as you don't die. There is a very short cool down between using spawners.

TO EASY - when you can kill any boss in less than 30 seconds is a thing.
ONE TAPPED - at some point youre gonna be able to kill a zombie in just one hit.
MAGIC DROP - i dont remember who, but someone drops stuff that lets you expand your trinket slot, while someone else drops something that lets you have more armor sets to choose between.
in your journal, it will say who drops what, and if they haven't dropped it yet, there will be an outline.

the forest biome, first one you are recommended to fight, can only be spawned on the surface of a forest/plains at night. It will escape if you do not kill it before morning.

in the snow cave you can accidently crack the egg open and spawn the spider, or you can use eggs you find to spawn it

desert cave needs to try to pix the statute (or use the spawner) desert deep cave you need a spawner and to be at the alter

DODGE THIS - beat the fallen wizard while 5 fallen dragons are alive, I needed someone to comment that this is just a normal boss. My summons would kill the dragons as soon as spawned so i didn't know. after you beat sage and grit a path leads down, while fighting the wizard he spawns multiple dragons... ignore them and keep at him, maybe heal or up def to pull it off.

swamp I think i've only ever used the spawner, never accidently doing it.

you have to attack the wizards to wake them up

REMATCH - when you kill that guy.

Pirate - I know I talked about him briefly before, but he's tech a boss, and there is two achievements from him.

WASHED UP - you beat him.
GETTING HOT - he drops a deep ladder that you are gonna need to get to the deep caves, this is something you can make, or you can just kill more of these guys to get more.

---- for incursions, you put the tablet in the alter, go through the alter, follow the instructions, a second portal opens to summon the boss with x amount of attempts to beat it, it should drop loot that includes a tablet for the next level, since tier 5 garb is stuff you want for some achievements... this is a bit important.

TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL - this is gotten when you leave the portal and hit complete on the incursion.
MASTER OF SUN AND MOON - beat these guys at level 5 or higher. i cant beat moon at three yet

2 achievements I haven't gotten yet that best fit here

YOU AND WHAT ARMY - have 10 villagers in your armor all wearing tier 5 armor. i am working on getting 10 full sets
ME AND THIS ARMY - beat an incursion boss with only your villagers fighting for you. ..... i kinda want to get this after getting the one before.

**Melee, Ranged, Magic, or Summon, you decide.

Another section that doesn't really have a wrong answer. And since you can have several armor sets to click between by late game, how much are you really deciding?

btw, every extra set you get will make you naked with nothing. I would recommend buying multiple hoverboards once you can, or whatever your fav mount is. You are also going to need multiple sets of armor, cosmetics, and trinkets... only your weapon and tools get shared between all sets.

The first recommended boss drops 1 of 4 trinkets at a time, that all four together gives you bonuses to call classes, just one will penalize you using any of the others. As someone who plays a sword swinging summoner from the moment I can buy a brain on stick from the traveling merchant, I try to fight boss 1 as many times as i can that first night for the loot.

if you hover over an helmet, it will tell you what perks you get for wearing it's set, more damage, click a button for something to happen, I honestly only look for anything that gives me + to summons, so I don't pay attention.

This is why I am working on the ruby version of CRYSTALLIZED because i know that ruby helmet says more summons. you need crystals that seem to only be in the crystal boss area, go figure

There is also an achievement called EMPOWERED which is where you acquire a full set of tier 5 armor and put it on. I should have put a counter down for every time i misspell achievement, or just misspell things in general.

I got this because I mined a carp ton of upgrade stones and used the table.

now on to the weapons

These guys are labeled how they want to be labeled.

Melee

does melee damage, some weapons want to be charged up before swinging, boomerangs seem to fall in this category, there is a pretty epic punching glove in a box, I like using the Reapers weapon because sure, i swing it, but then a few more shoot out hitting things at a med distance and that can be really nice in some cases... though its not enough to hit sage or grit most of the time....

Range

pew pew b*tches! there is a lot of good bows and guns. not that many kinds of ammo, and omg, you can EASILY fill up your ammo pouch. I now have chest dedicated to each type of arrow, stone and fire fill up fast.

Magic

you do not see your mana bar unless you use it. there are wands and books and things. some of the stuff you can buy from a mage.

Summon

This is where I focus, you get your summon item and wave it around so many times and you have these little sprites that follow you everwhere and attack things for you. some of them are permanent they dont die unless you summon to many, take off whatever gives you extra, or die yourself.
Every time you enter the game or respawn, you have to summon them again. I normally keep the item in my void whatever, i also try to get the desert birds as fast as possible because they will go through walls, not many things do.
there is also temp spawn items, like the murder bush or slime canster, you can summon so many, they fight for a time but die, pretty quick and you have to spawn them again, which might mean you are only using summon items, sometimes when i get the ruby temp thing I just constantly summon that and let whatever my minions are go fight for me, i'm extra protected.

if you have ANY summon item in your hand and right click, you are telling your minions to attack whatever, and that might be an NPC you are trying to recruit. I also want to point out that for the bad guys who can teleport, they loose the kill me mark as soon as they are off the screen, you have to do it again

but the mark is just a "focus all attacks here" kind of thing, because your little critters will run around and attack whatever is considered hostile , some are even able to leave what you can see on the screen to kill things.

Scratch that

This is one of the few places I am gonna use the official wiki... because it has a list of vinyl.
I am then gonna compare it to what i have in my game, adding if needed....

Funny enough music items dont seem to count towards collect everything. I wonder if there is a collect all vinyl coming later :D

The portable music player will only play one at a time, but the actual music player will hold up to 10 to make a playlist.

Oh, the 30 seconds is pretty easy, try doing the very first boss if you have completed dungeon that should be super quick!
I always have summons with me, even though I melee, so they will polish the first guy off almost before he finish landing sometimes.

did i forget to mention the items to expand inventory? let me go fix that!

[Aleopheus]

MAGIC DROP - i dont remember who, but someone drops stuff that lets you expand your trinket slot, while someone else drops something that lets you have more armor sets to choose between.


The Mage in the dungeons drops the Magical Item that expand the trinkets

The Boss from the portal / in the Forest drops a cloak that expand the armor sets

Hope that helps, and nice guide so far.
I don't see how one should be able to kill a boss in 30 seconds so far, but we will see. So far the bosses are really strong and I really have some problems with them. Took me a lot of tries.

[ariethninja]

I am willing to link your guide in the achievement area so people can go look at it.

mainly I just want there to be one central link for all basic info!

thanks for explaining things!

[Cashew]

Good luck on your achievement hunt! I have done 100% of the achievements, though Complete Collector was definitely way easier before the Graphics Update.

The Dodge This! achievement refers to the Fallen Dragons that the Fallen Wizard spawns. You have to avoid killing the dragons spawned while killing the Fallen Wizard. It does not refer to anything to do with any incursion, though weapons enhanced through increasing their tiers can make the battle easier.

The Crystallized achievement can be very tricky, and it's highly likely it will be the second last achievement you get (the last being Complete Collector). You will have to get 400 resilience with crystal armour. If you need additional information, it is included in my guide, but for the sake of not spoiling too much I will refrain from posting it in this comment.

Again, hope you continue enjoying Necesse and have enough patience and willpower to reach 100% achievements!
