The guide was extremely helpful and so were some of the comments below!
I managed to platinum the game thanks to this guide and the achievement guide
There are some map changes or small secrets missing that aren't in the guide, but if you look carefully, you'll be able to complete everything. At least the most difficult parts are very well explained in the guide; congratulations on the work, 10/10.

For those who want to complete all the achievements with speed runs and serious mode, I recommend playing as a thief and enabling infinite health, 2x damage, HP/MANA regen, because serious mode is annoyingly boring and doesn't reward you for the difficulty.

THERE'S NO POINT IN INVESTING IN DEFENSE/HP; the mobs will kill you in one hit.
Upgrade everything in damage, combo and mana regen to spam abilities—that's what I did, and it worked!
good lucky, everyone!

Secret 2 on the temple middle floor is actually on the lower floor
Mr. Alan Wake... 22 Apr @ 12:24pm 
There are a lot of missing informations & secrets on that "guide"

Lots of useless parts like "Proceed by solving the riddle" make it useless and quite hilarious.

In the Hammerwatch campaign, note that if you take the secret teleporter in floor 1 to level 3 you will reveal a few new rooms in floor 3 with some gold. But do not rush to use it because it locks you out of the first two floors. Play normally and as soon as you reach level 3, backtrack to floor 1 and take the teleporter. The few extra gold may help you get another upgrade before the first boss.
