Finish progression checkpoints first
Do not start cleanup by randomly revisiting every area. Confirm the major story and location milestones first, because they naturally expose character and collection routes you will need later.
Clear global collection sets
The released achievement set names four broad collection goals: all of Tailord’s kittens, all music boxes for Arpeggio, the card collection and all rainbow ingots. Track them as separate lists rather than one combined total.
Max the persistent upgrade goals
Completion also includes buying all Traveler items/upgrades, maxing health and maxing time energy. Use the upgrade hub to avoid confusing character progress with stat progress.
Run character and secret cleanup last
Repeated or one-off interactions such as Wally, Grandpa’s secret, Palette and smaller NPC milestones are easier to audit after the major collection and upgrade goals are done.
Core game facts are limited to the official Steam store/demo and official Steam news; achievement-specific scope is based on released platform achievement metadata.
Common questions
Is 100% the same as all achievements?+
Not necessarily as a game-wide concept, but this guide uses the released achievement set as the clearest externally verifiable completion checklist.
What is the fastest cleanup order?+
Story checkpoints first, then global collectibles, then upgrades, then character/secret cleanup.
