Efficient completion plan
Do not turn the first playthrough into fifty-three simultaneous errands. Secure one-time conditions, finish the main route, then use the map, Shell and weapon indexes for cleanup. Permanent unlocks, maximum bonding and memory viewing are separate achievement states.
- Prologue: reduce Tar Golem to minimum health for No, You Still Can't Win before leaving the one-time encounter.
- First journey: collect Shells and weapons that improve your current route, activate Beacons, and complete natural boss trophies.
- Deliberate challenges: prepare Peter's Perfect Parry and Baghead's ending rather than improvising them.
- Regional cleanup: use separate checklists for 11 Map Fragments, 46 achievement-counted Beacons, 196 Ova, all weapons, sidearms and Shells.
- Mastery: complete a maximum weapon, maximum bonding, memories and remaining collectible totals before No Lifer.

Missable and unusual conditions
No, You Still Can't Win is attached to the prologue Tar Golem and should be treated as the highest-priority one-time condition. Baghead requires dialogue, Special Moonshine and a final choice, so record the route before confirming. Peter's Perfect Parry needs every hit of the Nameless Captive's seven-hit phase-two headspin guarded perfectly; avoid filling stagger before the sequence.
Mid Summer? starts from Marigold and the flower-crown offer. Feed Me uses a large Gloom payment to Egon. Ascension connects Mether's Flesh to the Fish NPC. These are not random discoveries to leave until the last minute; keep an in-game note as soon as the NPC or item appears.
Collection achievements without wasted backtracking
Separate collection types. Map Fragments reveal regional fog and total eleven. Shell Seeker counts the eight permanent Shells, not Harros. Lord of War and Guns. Lots of Guns track eight primary weapons and eight sidearms. Ova, Beacons and Tarstones require their own lists because one category cannot prove another is complete.
The Tarstone total has differed across displayed platform and in-game information in consulted sources. This guide therefore avoids publishing one universal number until it is verified in the current build. Follow the achievement state and an updated in-game checklist, and keep one unsolved entry open instead of inventing a missing pickup.
