Hey Blizzard, so yes you are entirely right; the Crystal Sage has only one Sorcery we need (Crystal Hail) for the 100%. The other Item you can get from the Crystal Sage is the Crystal Rapier. While it is not technically needed for the 100% per-say, the fact that it increases Item Discovery makes it extremely valuable for "Covenant Farming".

In NG, I recommend people to go for the Crystal Rapier first so you have the potential bonus Item Discovery the entire rest of the game. Then in NG+, since we have to kill the Crystal Sage again anyways, I mention to get his Sorcery then.

That was my rationale for structuring it that way. At the end of the day though, the Item you choose first doesn't really matter as whatever you get in NG, you just get the other in NG+ instead; especially since the longer you put off the farming, the more Souls you'll be getting each subsequent NG+.

Hello Cynic! I've used your guides for (Currently) Metro Exodus and Dark Souls III, they've both been a really great help! Something to note about the Dark Souls III guide though, you mention in the New Game Plus section, under Road of Sacrifices, how you need the Soul of a Crystal Sage to "earn our final Sorcery", but I got the achievement before NG+ for getting all sorceries. Just curious about this part, once again thanks for making detailed achievement guides!!

Thanks axtri, I appreciate that! Achievement "list guides" have their purpose in being nice quick help for specific Achievements, but trying to use them as your 100% guide can be really challenging & typically lead you to doing multiple extra playthroughs for accidentally missing stuff. Basically puts all the work on YOU for making sure you are doing everything in the right order, which isn't an issue for a lot of games... but can be almost impossible for others without spending hours of pre-research.

That is actually the exact origin of how I started doing guides in the first place. I cobbled a skeleton of a walkthrough for myself for Metro Last Light starting with Collectibles, then the Moral Points, missable Achievements... then I put in all the Achievements. Made it look better... sort of... & then thought, what the heck, & published it on Steam. Had so much fun in the process, I've been doing it ever since.

You're awesome dude! I like how all your guides are progressive and that's unique since most just list the achievements and how to get them in no particular order. +Rep.

Right there with you, Greg; I did play all DLCs for the first game & they were fantastic. Definitely wish they added Achievements for them so I could cover them in the guide.

Very excited to see they are adding Achievements for the second games DLC. They are adding the Mea Culpa as a 4th Weapon which is super exciting. I have done a playthrough of the base game already on an alt profile & am very much looking forward to new content. Unfortunately though, this will delay my guide since this proves there is new DLCs that are adding Achievements... which I am sure is disappointing to some, so I apologize for that.

new blasphemous 2 dlc dropping soon along with alot of achievements, very excited, shame they didn't add achievements for dlc in the first game but ah well
