⋗︎ Bosses
The game features four bosses, but only three grant achievements: Two-Toed Tom, The Rougarou, and Huggin' Molly. For each of these three bosses, there are two achievements:
  • Defeat the boss.
  • Defeat the boss without taking damage.

Please note that it's not possible to use the 'Skip bosses' or 'Player invincibility' accessibility and difficulty options. However, you can switch to the lowest difficulty, or customize the difficulty and set the combat intensity to 'Very light'.

If you get hit while fighting a boss, quit to menu and load the last checkpoint.

@sarahwithstars Yes, you don't have to complete the game to replay already unlocked chapters.

Do you mean you don't have to complete the game to revisit chapters? Or you can replay chapters at any time before the credits?
Hanni  [author] 9 Apr @ 10:13am 
Yes, chapters can be replayed at any time :)

Does anyone know if after the finale it will be possible to somehow replay levels in the game to collect more collectibles?
Asuno 9 Apr @ 9:57am 
Nice :)
Hanni  [author] 9 Apr @ 9:55am 
@Asuno Nope!

Is there no such achievement as beating the game on the hardest level?

Thank you very much for the work you're doing. I have 3 achievements left: improving life to the maximum, fluff and tin, which I don't know what it is. I'll be waiting for your guide when you've finished the fluff and tin.
