Defeat an enemy while having all possible negative statuses

Unlock Method:

The “Bleeding” status can be inflicted by lions and wolves.
The “On Fire” and “Poison” status effects can be inflicted by the player, by using either traps or petards.

The easiest and quickest way to do this is to get the “Cursed” status effect, enter a fight with some wolves, get the “Bleeding” status and then throw both fire and poison petards while standing in their area of effect to get the other two effects. When all four status effects are active, kill one enemy and the trophy will unlock.

Stuck on this 20x Pure Essence of Darkness. anyone knows where to find or farm them ??
CitizenX3639 17 Oct, 2024 @ 4:58pm 
How in Hades did you find that mask on the wall(I think it was 7) in the market. No way anyone would have found that one. It blended in so much.
Excellent guide.

You get the 22nd note after completing the "Favor for Firtos" quest.
Kroblan 8 May, 2024 @ 2:51am 
The number 8 in Unmasked achiev map is not in the right place. it is right next to the trapdoor, north of the position currently indicated.
Thanks for the guide btw :steamthumbsup:
MorGolFal 2 May, 2024 @ 3:11pm 
Can you tell me where to look for note 22 in achievement 34. THE LIBRARIAN?
Ishikiri  [author] 2 Apr, 2024 @ 4:05am 
Well, you can do the 2 playthroughs and then just keep restarting the game until you beat him. No need for a full third if you're just hunting for achievements, that's what matters here ;)
Kliperek505 2 Apr, 2024 @ 4:04am 
I will also add that to my guide
Kliperek505 2 Apr, 2024 @ 4:03am 
100% in 2 playthroughs would be quite hard though, as one would need to beat Paris on their first playthrough.
Kliperek505 2 Apr, 2024 @ 4:01am 
Ahh, that makes sense!
Ishikiri  [author] 2 Apr, 2024 @ 3:13am 
The Fate of a Man is described correctly, this is the full requirement for it. Each boss encounter adds points for one of the endings, and based on the score the game shows one of the two endings.

There is an even amount of bosses in the game though, so if you kill all of the bosses there would be a tie between the two endings. The Tydeus fight is a tie breaker, his fight gives 1 point more than the others.

So if you kill every boss, you gain one more point for the human ending and you'll get the achievement for it. This also works in reverse for the hero ending.

If you follow the instructions, you'll only gain points towards one of the endings. Unlocking these achievements after killing/sparing every boss stems from the tie breaker scenario. Because there are separate achievements for killing/sparing every boss, this makes it possible to 100% the game in just two playthroughs.

Thanks for mentioning this though! I'll add this info to the guide so it's a bit clearer.
