First playthrough is recommended that you play at normal difficulty to know how the game works while looking for Secrets and Clocks for 100% achievement and doing of the two ending available while enjoying the game

After completing the game you will replay certain levels to find the remaining secrets and clocks, unlock the remaining achievements and complete all objectives needed to unlock Dark tome pages for the PhD in Madness achievement.

The second playthrough is on Expert difficulty, which is the highest difficulty available and is the most difficult achievement in the game. Enemies move faster, shoot faster (their bullet projectiles are faster), and you take more damage and some levels seems unfair and unbalanced. I recommend you play calmly and patiently and abuse saving the game because you will die over and over. You can also do the other ending achievement.

Dark Tome has two Special Abilities: Active Effects that works when you use the book (Shift) and Passive Effects that works all the time.

• You can buy Pages using Madness Tokens. Madness Tokens are earn by killing enemies. A full playthrough on normal will give you around 5,433 Madness Tokens.

Special Abilities List:

Active Effects:

Passive Effects:

• You can buy Weapons using Weapon Tokens. Weapon Tokens are some purple crystals that can be found during main paths (unmissable) and on Secrets areas. A full playthrough on normal (getting all secrets areas) will give you around 37 Weapon tokens

"For this you can use "Arcane Expertise" and the "Almighty" perks. Use the revolver to single-shot the grenadier coming down the stairs in the sanctuary level, activate the dark tome and finish him off with the Obelisk."

Rule of Cool

I am the Madness
Finish the game on Expert difficulty without lowering it.

Self-explanatory and the hardest achievement in the game, Expert difficulty is the game’s highest difficulty. Enemies move faster, shoot faster (their bullet projectiles are faster), and you take more damage and some levels seems unfair and unbalanced.

The best thing I can say is: be patient and play slowly/safely, abuse the game's save and have in mind that you will die over and over, as some levels seem incredibly unfair/unbalanced, not only because some enemies are annoying, but also because of the sheer number of projects that come at you.

If you’re looking for an easy and fun way to finish on Expert, you can do this on New Game + with Immunity to enemy damage on and ammo mode infinite enable. This will count towards finishing the game on Expert, allowing you to get the achievement without the frustration of some unfair levels.

Des Goules Remastered Exotic Weapon (Infinite range damage) with Passive Dark Tome Playing Dirty (Increase damage delt to enemies/receive more damage) and Arcade Expertise (Increase exotic weapons damage) is the best combination to melts any enemy in your path

Or Just pick up your favorite weapon and Dark Tome Active/Passive and go have some fun!

Others:

If you are looking for some fun weapons you can use Eternal Fish Pistol (Incredible high fire speed) or Gobbler Gun Rifle (Homing missiles that pierce through enemies and ricochet on walls) with Passive Dark Tome War Veteran for Rifles (Increase rifle damage)

Achievements that got released with the Full Release of the game (24/10/2024).
