BOOK 1
Achievements in progress :
Innovator / No Time For Words / Deconstruction / Plagiarism / Deconstruction
Achievements completed :
Plot Twist / Write Your Story / Alternate Solution / All or Nothing / Divide / Drop of Infinity

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The beginning of book one is the fastest way to farm "Write Your Story" as you can spam two ink dialogue every 2-3 min. Use ink to heal yourself at the beginning and keep hitting / headbutting the doot to get stuck in it. Once it is done, you won't have to force yourself to use ink in dialogue anymore and can choose your way into the game.


Always get as many loot to destruct, craft. You should try to steal ink as much as possible in fight as long as you have healing item.
There is one missable fight at the lowest part of the dungeon.


At the end of the chapter, after your choice to keep the potion or not, pressing Alt F4 will redo the scene to take the other choice. I decided to keep the potion first and split it for my real run.

BOOK 2
Achievements in progress :
Innovator / Deconstruction / Sticks and Stones Won't Break My Bones
Achievements completed :
Your Shield, My Liege, Kleptoparasitism / No Time For Words / Treasures of Day Past / Crafty Box / Pacifist By Day, Utilitarianist By Night / Plagiarism / Streikbrecher / The Spark of a Hammer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book 2 must be completed 2 times.
Dont forget to pick your skill at the beggining of every chapter. You're free to take whatever you want.


The first run is to avoid every avoidable fight. But it shouldn't be your true run because it will lock you out from doing relentless achievement.
You can avoid 3 fights and one is a forced fight no matter what dialogue you choose.
When the two robots examine the broken robot, you must talk to them to avoid the fight or you won't get the pacifist achievement. By avoiding fight, you won't be able to open the box in the left area.


For the last one, keep convincing them, offer trade, take the hammer out of the country to Helheim


At the end, do the chapter again to avoid to erase all of your saves later.
Simply, kill everything, there will be 4 battles.

Pick the photo and go to this spot for the secret treasure.


The robot at the beggining area can be saved. It will change nothing to the game but you won't go to hell. Put MI-3-3 to get the battery to save him.


Don't forget to steal the apple in the kitchen.

BOOK 3
Achievements in progress :
Strive For Perfection / Innovator / Sticks and Stones Won't Break My Bones / Relentless Warrior
Achievements completed :
A Change of Heart / Keymaster / Deconstruction / Portrait of the Fat Gentleman / The Kornelius Paradox

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick your skill in the book

This chapter is very long and you can be locked from one fight and one achievement if you don't send the teacher to the basement.
So, send him to the basement.


There will be 4 fights and you can save the weird man in the top area. Light all the candles in the upper floor to talk to him.
First fight is when you go save the janitor.


You're going to go back to real world to stop the fireplace, return the key for the achievement and do the second fight right after.

Third fight is by going aggressive to the two workers outside.
Sending the student back to school or not won't change anything.

You will get the painting by doing the side quest of one of the student in the left area, put it back on the missing painting in the wand room and start the last fight.


BOOK 4
Achievements in progress :
Strive For Perfection / Sticks and Stones Won't Break My Bones / Relentless Warrior
Achievements completed :
Secrets Beneath / Clay Pigeon Shooting / Innovator / Black River Drifters

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick Skill book as always

At a certain point, you'll have to deactivate a weapon. First, set target, press the dot to get the achievement then deactivate it.


There's one forced fight at the end.
Before going the the upper area, makes sure to listen to every record. Also go back to real word to enter the closed apartement.
BOOK 5
Achievements in progress :
Strive For Perfection / Sticks and Stones Won't Break My Bones / Relentless Warrior
Achievements completed :
Pen Pals / Fight the Establishment / Timeless Mansion

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick skill.

You must get 0 damage from both cops.
If you get any damage, simply ALT F4.

There's 4 letters to read and 3 forced fight. I suggest just watching the video as locating letters from screenshot is confusing.
This chapter tells a lot of lore, make sure to read it.
BOOK 6
Achievements in progress :
Relentless Warrior
Achievements completed :
Strive For Perfection / Sticks and Stones Won't Break My Bones / Brick, No Mortar, Heart of Sand

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pick skill

Long chapter again.
I didn't manage to craft every item, maybe i missed a loot but i replayed it 5 times and still didn't find it. Crafting the bar will get you a lot of healing items to complete book 7, it is a priority craft.

There's one missable fight and one forced.
The battle against the violent man is missable and is the best way to farm shield achievement as he will spam strong attack. Simply repeat shield and kill him after getting it.


You can chose to steal a lot of sand or not, you will still get enough to advance.

Listen to the lady, climb over the pile and trust the bag of brick.

BOOK 7
Achievements completed :
Relentless Warrior / Jack of All Trades / Luddite / The Mastermind

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's 10 artefacts that should be used.
4 Dialogues artefacts and 6 battles artefacts.
You'll have to go through 3 battles and use every artefact (dialogue + battles) then go back to the main menu and continue to do the level again and use the last 3 battle item.

After that, simply do the level again to use none.
Don't use acid first to the second enemy group.

After the epilogue, every achievement is unlocked in one playthrough.
END
I hope you liked my guide and the format of my video.
I tried a format where you can simply look at the video and understand it without commentary.
i am open to feedback on what i can add/change to this guide.

plagiarism doesn't works on Xbox.

If somehow you do have the old version in game pass (the one where there's no interrupter lever) i don't think there is a battery because you can't interact with the robot after you took the battery.
I tried today with the current xbox patch and MI 4-4 just worked. Make sure you do have the recent patch by checking it into microsoft store.

Try MI 3-3 and if you do have breed in the current patch but no battery into MI 4-4 then it might be a corrupted save files maybe. There's commentary that if you started a game before patch on xbox and continued after the patch some achievement might be broken like stealing ink and plagiarism.

I actually have broken ink and plagiarism achievement on xbox but i can get the battery.

Excellent guide, thanks for the write-up!

I do have a question: I'm trying to save the robot in Book 2, but can't, for the life of me, get an additional battery from the conveyor belt.

I tried the code in your video (M1-4-4) and several others, but only receive random (useless) items and incorrect repair kits.

I don't think it's randomized, since the proper repair kit always remains the same (B3-1-6), so, maybe it was broken in a recent patch? I know, from reading the dev posts here, that there's been at least two, since launch.

Also, I'm playing the Microsoft Store/Xbox Game Pass version of the game.
