Accessing the Correct Area
To begin, you must have already unlocked the debug room, and you must have attained Faith level 9.

To unlock the debug room, you must have Roma unlocked, and you must have completed her character exclusive ending!

If you don't know how to unlock Roma, or her ending... there's other guides for that. This guide assumes you've already completed it. You will also need to have Faith level 9 (Absolute Devotion) unlocked.

Unlocking Faith 9 is relatively straightforward; just keep defeating the No-Skin Man at the highest Faith level you have unlocked until you hit Level 9.



Once the debug room is unlocked, you'll want to select the tab that says Extra Battles , then select rm_parasite_battle .



Here, you'll be faced with a puzzle battle similar to what you've seen in the dream diaries.

To beat this battle, follow these steps:

Turn 1:
Take Aim

Turn 2:
Take Aim

Turn 3:
Take Aim

Turn 4:
Take Aim

Turn 5:
Use Medkit
Use Gun (Accuracy should be at 90)

Turn 6:
Use Gun

Turn 7:
Use Gun

Turn 8:
Use Gun

Turn 9:
Use Gun



This is not a definitive strategy, as the accuracy can still cause you to miss. Just keep following these steps until RNG wins out.

Upon defeating the parasite, it will prompt you with vital information.

To encounter The Crow, you must exceed the limits at Absolute Devotion.

In other words, get to 144% in Faith level 9. This should be pretty straightforward, and relatively simple, especially if you have Luna. Start a new run in Absolute Devotion and use Snake Scales/Temporal Disruption to get to 144% completion.
Unlocking the Achievement
Upon reaching 144% at Faith 9, you will encounter The Crow.

For the sake of the achievement alone, your work is now done!!

Once you met with The Crow, an optional boss opens up in the newly unlocked Faith Level 10.



However, defeating the boss is not essential to unlocking the achievement.

To those wanting to know about the boss, however, the rest of this guide is now considered spoiler territory.
Fighting the Boss (Optional)
To fight the crow, all you have to do is reach 100% completion in Faith 10.



Once at 100%, you'll see that The Crow automatically replaces the typical No-Skin Man fight. It's relatively straightforward, but there is one important rule you must keep in mind.

While fighting the crow, using an item will damage you, and immediately end your turn.

The Crow itself will also assault you with an attack that does more and more damage as the turns pass, so its in your best interest to take him down as quickly as possible. If you recruited any companions, they will be present for the fight.

Once you defeat the crow, you are left with an ominous warning about a white-haired lady in a lake.



What does this mean?
Who knows? This is No-Skin after all.

Didn't see a guide for this yet, so leaving this here for any of those you want to get the last of the new achievements. c:

No problem, glad it worked ^^

Awesome, it worked. I started at 104% and encountered the crow at 128% while fighting default enemies. Thank you.

I just ran through the game again, just to make sure I didn't miss something. I did make a slight mistake - The Crow doesn't appear *exactly* at 144%. He has a chance to be any one of the default_enemies you can encounter while you're in the limbo space. I actually encountered him at 132% (I have a screen recording if you need to see). Probably if you used items to gun it to 144%, you missed him. Try not using any items once you're in limbo and see if he spawns.

I followed these exact steps, but did not encounter the crow. I unlocked the debug room and then beat the parasite, then I played on absolute faith and raised my percentage for finding the skin to 144%, but instead of encountering the crow, I encountered No Eye Soft instead while playing as Luna. Any suggestions?

Who would've thought the message upon completion would end up being a connection a new game, looking forward to Edenwound and if/how it relates to No-Skin or The Absolute Red.
