Introducrion
This is my first guide so if you have any constructive criticism or questions ask in chat.
Gameplay Basics
W,S,A,D Space are the controls. You want him to die; he dies. You want him to fall; he falls, and so on. Try to be as observant as you can because on one of the levels behind the Arsenal (Zulten's Hollow I think) there is a fragment bounty. In the distillery and forge pick the stuff that suits your play-style. The lost and found is very useful so buy everything there. Go to the shrine to make the game harder and earn achievements for completing dreams with a number of idols.
Power Levelling
Especially when in score attack mode this can be very useful.
Here is a list of spirits, good is in bold, okay is normal and rubbish is crossed out.
Dreadrum
Crits help.
Bull Brandy
No reason not to equip this
Leechade
Extra health for killing, only to be used with Werewhisky
Werewhisky
Good for high damage when on the brink of death, only to be used with Leechade
Lifewine
Good for saving lives, only to be used with Leechade
Stabsinthe
Good for resetting Lifewine, only to be used with Lifewine and Leechade in a combo.
Doomshine
JUST EPIC.
Black Rye
When power levelling it's handy but not essential.
Graver Gimlet
Not much of a high chance of turning zealous but does a ton of damage.
Whale Ale
Not too important but good with gel cannister in dream levelling.
Squirt Cider
Not a big difference made.
Cham-pain
Good but takes away life.
Mender Mead
Shouldn't be counter blocking.
Bastion Bourbon
U have Leechade.
Cinderbrick Stout
Rubbish.
Falling Malt
Shouldn't be falling.
Lunkhead Liquor
Rubbish.
Fetching Fizz
Rubbish.
Combos:
Hey Ura u really wanna mess with me?!
Leechade+Lifewine+Werewhisky+Stabsinthe.
Live long and prosper!
Lifewine+Dreadrum+Bastion Bourbon+Hearty Punch+Squirt Cider.
Locations:
Use Zulten's Hollow or Colford Cauldron or the Melting Pot for levelling.
You can use Survivior's dream.
Loadout should be Mortar and Pike and Bomb Barrage.
Kid's Dream
The dream achievements can be hard or easy depending on your forge upgrades, play style, game mode, loadout and idols.
When doing no idols you can use any loadout, but for inexperienced players (people who are on no- sweat mode or normal mode) The cael hammer and fang repeater is the best loadout with the whirlwind or mirror shield.
When doing five idols invoke the following: Yudrig, Jevel, Pyth, Garmouth and Micia. Use the Galleon Mortar, Brushers' pike and bomb barrage skill. Be careful on reflections 12 and 3. Use the secret skill then and finish the enemies with the pike when they're not spinning.
All ten idols is a very hard challenge. Only do it on score attack mode or new game plus. Pick the enemies off one by one and use the Galleon Mortar, Duelling Pistols and Bomb Barrage/Slinger Storm skill. It is completable from level four upwards by using the following spirits:
Lifewine
Werewhisky
Stabsinthe
Leechade
If you're above level four consider using:
Bull Brandy
Hearty Punch
Doomshine
Cham-pain
Dreadrum
Mender Mead
Graver Gimlet
Look at the tips and tricks for help. Trust me.
Singer's Dream
Singer's dream is quite easy to be honest. For no idols you can play Slinger Jawson with a pike and pistols. Be careful with anklegators. Especially the two babies. Five idols can be completed with the Calamity cannon and the pike same with the ten idol challenge.
I used these upgrades:
And this spirit loadout:
You can replace Hearty Punch and Cham-pain with any other spirits you want. DO NOT replace Hearty Punch without replacing Cham-pain. You may replace Bull Brandy with Black Rye.
Survivor's Dream
The survivor's dream is very easy. Don't worry about not having the weapons because you get the item called Bedroll after Zulten's Hollow. The most suitable loadout is the mortar, pike and bomb barrage. Activate Black Rye. The spirits combo is in the combo list. Hiding behind the bottom left spike should be your play style. Really easy even in 10 idols!!!!!
Stranger's Dream
The Stranger's dream is the most challenging dream as it has a massive variety of enemies and 30 waves(reflections). The recommended loadout is the mortar, pike and bomb barrage. Make sure the pike is fully upgraded as well as the mortar for idol-free, ten-idol and five-idol gameplay. You can complete this on level two for no idols, level six for five idols and level ten for ten idols. Be careful on the last waves. There is a spike on the middle-right side which you should be able to hide behind. Only come out if you have to. Don't forget to collect the prize orbs every two waves. Use the spirit loadout mentioned in the combo section. Look at tips and tricks for this dream.
Secret Achievements
The first achievement is called the stranger. You get it when you reach the Bastion.
The second achievement is called the survivor. You get it after you complete the Hanging Gardens.
The third is the singer. You get it when you complete Prosper Bluff.
Warning!! Spoiler
Hover mouse over black text to reveal.
The fourth is called the Ura. You get it after you stop the siege on the bastion after you complete burstone quarry.
The fifth is called the beginning. You get it after you do the evacuation after the terminals.
The last is called turret opera. Do kid's dream and when you spawn throw a gel canister and u'll get the achievement. If not spawn another one until u get it if the turret blows up. Wait and come around it for the orbs and kill the enemies behind or not in its sight.
U should be at this stage when u complete these except the second to last one. U do that after the terminals.
Proving Ground Challenges
Windbag Ranch:
Go to the middle straightaway and kill the green-tinted orange squirts. When they stop spawning destroy the cornbins (squirt boxes) then kill the remaining squirts and turrets.
Don't use cripple upgrades and have a one throw-two blades upgrade.
Breaker Barracks
Kill the targets three at a time and do scumbag arrowheads.
Zulwood Grove
Knock the targets off the side.
Trapper Shingle
Just keep moving when not holding shift and firing. Do damage and seeking upgrades.
Trigger hill
Do one aim speed and explosive upgrades.
Slinger range
All right upgrades. Activate Stabsinthe, Cham-pain and Werewhisky. At the bottom on the platform don't grab the pistols. Break the fence with rolls and keep on rolling into the left corner until you fall enough times to drink the Werewhisky. Don't equip Leechade. When you are Werewhiskified, start and hold shift all the way through. Three hits should kill each target with the crits.
Boundless Bay
Use one speed upgrade and no damage upgrades. Splash upgrades are vital. Time your shots so you hit the squirts as they cross the middle.
Mancer Observatory
Use the tracking upgrade and don't use the let-go-and-fire upgrade. Hold attack and aim for the closest gasfellas.
Don't bother with the other proving grounds because they don't help and these have the best skills. They are the easiest ones and you'll get the vigil by completing seven of these.
Tips And Tricks
Kid's dream: kill red-spinning gasfellas with bomb barrage.
Singer's dream: use the secret skill for the hard pecker waves( the ones which aren't only small peckers).
Survivor's dream: kill the stinkeye spawners with the secret skill and activate Black Rye.
Stranger's dream: hide behind the middle-right spike and leave only when necessary. Always keep your shield up when you're moving except for the last wave when you hide until the anklegator reaches you. Kill the gold Ura first then the poison crossbowman.
