Overview
This guide’s maps have numbers within them with each number representing an item. You can then reference that number to see what the item is, items needed to get it, how to get it, and screenshot(s) showing precisely where the item is.I decided to make this guide because when I went for 100% I was annoyed that the various maps told me an item was in a square, but it didn’t tell you how to get that particular item or where exactly it was. This wasn’t a problem for me except a handful of times, but I love this game so much I wanted to make such a guide for other people. I still encourage you to look for the item yourself first because that’s where the fun in a game like this comes from. If that fails use this guide to relieve your frustration.
Tips, tricks, and explanations
Sometimes I will forget or accidentally acquire an item before I screenie it, in which case I will be positioned on top of where the item was in the screenie.
The order of the items (01, 02, 03, etc.) is the order I got them as I replayed through the game. If you find yourself stuck and don’t know what to do, find where you are in the number order (by finding the number of the last ability you acquired) and move forward from there.
Later in the game I will save a lot of powerups until I get the final ability, the red coat. The red coat makes getting many powerups much simpler, and you will likely have really good weapons and high health by then too.
Secret worlds are hidden throughout the maps. The entrances are random until you make a new game, then they are locked in for that save file, so you’ll have to use a map that shows their possible locations and search for them. Only 1 hard secret world is ever generated and it always contains one of three very powerful weapons (Heatseeker, Webslicer, Fatbeam). Nothing you find in the secret worlds count towards your percentages; they are purely bonuses.
The game will show a yellow dot in the upper right of your map screen if you’ve found all items for that map, and a purple dot if you’ve uncovered all areas of that map.
The Address Disruptor (what you use to glitch enemies) I call the Glitch Gun throughout the guide. It makes enemies easier to kill and in some cases are necessary to get an item (I will describe this if it’s the case).
The Grapple Hook is not needed to beat the game, but it does let you get some items early. It gets superseded by the drone teleport ability much later in the game.
Drone Tele Jumping: Using the drone teleport ability and drone launch distance ability it is possible to gain infinite height. This technique isn’t needed for any items, but it makes getting some much easier. First you jump as high as you can then launch the drone straight up in the air. Continue holding up and when the drone reaches the peak of its height, press the drone launch button again to spawn it and quickly press it again to teleport to the drone. Immediately and briefly use the laser drill to reset the drone launch time so you can fire it again immediately. Fire the drone again, straight up in the air, and repeat the process.
The Passcode Tool has its own menu along with the map, inventory, and notes. This is where you input the passwords.
Using the quit to title menu option is a great way to save time backtracking, because when you reload you spawn at the last used save station. It also doesn’t count towards your deaths if you’re going for that achievement.
The following green bug thing will drop a health node fragment if you use your glitch gun on it, but only once. The item doesn’t count for the yellow dot of item completion on a map, but it does count for 100% total items.
