Welcome to my guide, we're here to get straight to the point on how to get this rare feat.

- Try not to die
- Collect all the treasure you can & Defeat enemies for treasure as well
- If you're feeling risky, destroy checkpoints for an added treasure bonus
- Have an advanced knowledge of the mechanics & level layouts
- Exploring the level usually leads to finding more treasure
- Don't replay any Mini-games or Stages

With these basic concepts in mind one would think ''Well that's easy'' & why yes it can be, it can also be tough as hell near end-game.

Below you will find a list measuring the worth of treasure you can find I have assorted them in colors.

- Silver 1
- Blue 5
- Green 10
- Yellow 20
- Red 50
- Pink 200

After beating any level talk to some of the new NPC's running about in the castle, they will always give you 2-3 Pink Jewels (First Time Only)

This is dependent on how well you play & if you're willing to take the risk.


Route A: Cloak of Clemency


This Cloak can be bought from Manny, for 3,500 Gold. The Cloak itself is capable of nullifying Pits & Spikes while costing you 4 Will & 40 Darkness. If you don't have more than 4 will & fall onto spikes or fall into a pit you will instead be insta-killed so don't get too reckless with this.

+ Makes the Achievement Easier to Get
+ Realitively cheap
- You have to pay Manny to unlock it

Route B: Raiment of Risk


This Cloak can also be bought from Manny for 5,000 Gold. It's abilities are limited, however upon breaking a checkpoint you will be powered-up allowing your attacks to gain fireballs, which can instantly break stone boulders & piles of rocks, while also allowing you to do massive damage & gain treasure from broken checkpoints. However dying will lose the power, but breaking another checkpoint will bring it back.

+ Extremely Strong & makes short work of Bosses
+ More treasure is gained from breaking checkpoints
+ Darkness regenerates
- You have to pay Manny to unlock it
- You will always be lowered to 4 Will upon gaining the power-up

Route C: Crimson Cloak


This is the default Cloak you start the game with, It offers no special abilities but you don't have to waste any gold on Manny.

+ Game starts out with it
+ Treasure is safe from Manny
- No Abilities

This is ultimately up to the player but I'd reccomend doing your easiest levels to your hardest levels.

The route I chose to get this achievement was this

Plains
Propeller Knight (For the Life Wisp & Curio)
King Knight (Life Wisp)
Tinker Knight (Darkness Wisp)
Phantom Striker
Treasure Knight
Mole Knight
Plague Knight
Polar Knight

This route is considerably easy if you know the level layout
Plus the double Life Wisp & Judgement Rush saves you most of the time from pits & spikes.

Each Level also contains a Gold Bonus after defeating the boss at the end, you can see this at the top right of the level selection screen.

Collecting some Red Skulls would be good for getting Dread Claw & Spider Scythe to make short work of enemies & perhaps some bosses if you don't use the Raiment of Risk.

This may not be one of the best guides out there, but it is simple enough for pretty much anyone to understand.

But in Conjunction with this achievement you can also earn OTHERS along the way

This would consist of..

- Untouched
- Wisp Whisperer
- Skull Seeker
- Victory!
- Spec'd Out

They aren't something you have to get by any means, but if you're here looking at this guide you're most likely an achievement hunter like I am. Getting them in conjunction with Make a Killing saves you a lot of time considering you won't have to go back to replay stages for that 1 Skull you missed.

- During the 2nd Phase of the Final Boss you will not lose any Gold
- If you happen too die after dropping an enormous amount of gold, you can quit back to the map & regain all that treasure & try again
- Explore & be cautious of your surroundings
- Flashback sequences contain unusually large amounts of Gold
- If you collect Red skulls in conjunction with this achievement, and obtain all curio's, Red will pay 500 each for each skull you give him next.
- Dying against Tinker Knight on his second phase will not net you losing any gold

I hope you've enjoyed my Guide. It was certainly a lot of fun making it & I hope you all can enjoy the new & enhanced version. Thank you all & have a lovely day.
