Valfaris (Save Files for Achievement Areas)
By Lord Of War
For those who missed a few (or more achievements) and doesn't want to replay related levels (and even who wants to!), use the saves I made just before the required areas.

Intro
First of all - Back Up Your Saves! (just in case)
Saves' path is at: C:\Users\#####\AppData\LocalLow\Steel Mantis\Valfaris\long number folder

My saves can be downloaded from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tc-7Tyouk-KZpVyH6K4od7BuT9xD_Lhs/view?usp=sharing
Now, move a save file you need into the folder and rename as "Valfaris_Slot_0".
Minors
Eight Worms A-Leaping
Kill 8 worms jumping out of lava river. Memorize the directions they attack from.

Giddy Up!
Jump at a Stone worm and melee him, so he accelerates 10 times.

Select eponymous files from "Certain Areas" folder and move\rename them as mentioned above.
Boss related
That’ll Leave a Mark
Pre-fire once at the spiked ball and shoot again when the boss is moving towards you.


Coup De Grace
Kill Furrok with his own hammers. Do that at the end of his health bar and instantly jump to a candelabre, as the boss will ignite walls.


Select files from "Boss Fights" folder and have fun.
In the levels
Right Back ‘Atcha
Select "Level 3 The Hive", reach the secret area with unlimited energy, then keeping your shield active all the time simply stay in one spot, redirecting their charges.

Headbanger
Parry Hydravok’s heads 3 times in a single life. Each parry uses 75% of your shield.
Make sure you do some melee damage to replenish the energy. Watch from 01:15.

Sparks Will Fly
Special Thanks to player Hibachi who highlighted:
"They're the purple things with four sides, that have lasers shoot railguns. You find them in the part where you have to open two doors. Bring the Hellhammer."


Bringer Of Darkness
Destroy 70 lights. They can vary in shapes and colour: mostly flat blue and yellow, but also bubbly blue. Look out for them from the very first level.

Yes, saves still work. I'm currently doing the achievements. Thanks for the saves! :Killmaster:

Do saves still work? It's been.. what, almost 4 years now, I dunno if there were any updates since then, which could have messed up loading files.

Definitely get one BoV for killing two bosses: BloodRoot Demon and that FullMetal Train, then can obtain two from exchange machines, however - you'll need 4 Idols (first three will fetch Blood Metal, 4th - BoF).
Er... actually, if you load my save Level 9, there will be some already picked up, as well as all secrets and weapons ;)

@Offlein
They're not in specific rooms. You'll find them in the dead eco dome (three are around the level, one is in the end level exchange machine) and in the cathedral (one, in the machine).

Thanks for sharing. Could you please tell how to find Blood of Valfaris to fully upgrade weapons?

Thanks man! You saved me having to wait for the full metal mode to get a couple achievements.
Great guide, I have rarely seen someone taking the work to include save files.

Oh cool, I got quoted :p
Good work here, I didn't thought of using the axe's unlimited energy fight to get the achievement.

Thanks for the response, however I still now have the issue where simply holding up my shield reflects the projectiles back at them but does not damage/kill them. Perhaps it was the specific area I was trying to utilize that had some weird issue with their hitbox, but I could see the projectiles passing directly through their models then hitting the ground near/behind them. I've simply moved on with the game at this point and maybe I will return later and try that secret room.
