Start a game on Normal/Casual (you can switch between them anytime) and go through the game fast to kill Gabriel. So to avoid a second playthrough on casual or using your hard one read the solution mentioned on the achievement. Note: For " The Elder One", you CANNOT die (or better yet, respawn). Get comfortable, this game will take its time to get completed! Read the achievement list for specific goals, get a secret location guide (mentioned below) ready and make sure you understand a little about transmutation (it will be a huge help to boost your weapons and demon powers when you get it at level 16). You will need to explore the game in full, and even though it is possible to finish the game in a single playthrough I strongly do not recommend it. The achievements are diverse between collectibles and specific tasks. There are no missable achievements as you can keep playing even after you beat the final boss, but you do need to take special look for some of them (such as " Fool Proof"). Welcome to Victor Vran, a good dungeon crawler game that is not extremely hard (except for the challenges) and does take a long time. Does difficulty affect achievements: Yes Missable achievements: None, but see info below Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 Approximate amount of time to 1000 : 100+ Hours Mario maker 2 was another recent annoyance.- Estimated achievement difficulty: 8/10 Writing that out I got to thinking and decided to go on a tangent about being more annoyed that there are still games that kneecap the 2nd player in coop. You could still have a relatively good 2p endgame if you brought a mostly leveled and geared 2p into 1p’s game though. It’s a shame that they relegated the second player to second class citizen like many other 2 player games of the day did (and still do sometimes today, Enter the Gungeoun was a recent annoyance that did this). I played it a lot with my brothers back in the day. It’s a lot of fun to play with two people. Thank you for reading! My next goal is to play all the main Mana games & remakes from the beginning. With 30 hours of gameplay, there's still a lot of monsters left to catch. There is a ton of encyclopedias for lore, characters, produce, monsters. What surprised me the most is how much content there is to discover. The storyline & writing is fantastic, you can really feel each character's emotion through music, dialogue speed, occasional font changes, & those beautifully animated sprites! Everything down to the dialogue box, character portraits, & text size (looking at you Fire Emblem 3Hs) feels handcrafted. I hardly ever got bored of combat, it's one of the best aspects of the game. Not having to manage inventory is a plus, although you are limited to 5 pets. Overall, I'm not a huge fan of crafting, but LoM's system is unique & makes sense on a roleplaying level it's also optional. The combat & crafting systems are a lot deeper than they appear, & there are tons of guides to navigate those for late-game. As a speedrunner said, all the tracks are bangers. The handdrawn watercolor style has aged gracefully, along with the impeccably composed soundtrack. I feel it holds up pretty well, with the major complaints being for QoL issues & confusing quests. This is also fine as a starting point to the series. I spent a lot of time gardening, raising monsters, & just generally exploring (which is what the game encourages). As you can see, my casual playthrough took almost 30 hours with a guide. You can New Game+ in case you missed some quests the first time. I'd also recommend keeping a journal to take notes during quests (or drawing maps if you have the patience). If you're new to the game, I'd recommend going in blind until you get stuck in specific quests. For an 'All Events' playthrough, I used mostly (a few events have incorrect directions, perhaps for a different version) along with gamefaqs, ign, & some youtube playthroughs. Playing it back in 2000 with a friend, we had no idea what we were doing, yet managed to finish a good amount of quests without a guide. I started replaying LoM about a year ago after buying the $6 PSN version on PS3 (here's my peculiar setup).
