Sometimes the imp appears and peeks out the side of the screen while looking at your save files, and if you click on him you get speedrun settings

@baradurrule sometimes you have to do it multiple times its glitchy also you can use it on the skeleton you bury. also the cyclops and the dead dude in the lake

i've talked to all the dead i've encountered in the game and I still cannot get the small medium achievement

It appears progressing the text too fast causes number 20 to be missed.

And I found a list somewhere if anyone needs it.

Thanks, I accidentally found that out myself (just happened to click on the hole in the main hall when my hand slipped) and was coming here to mention it. Thanks for the great guide, I never would have gotten 100 percent map completion or found the last skeleton to talk to without it!

Apologies, I got it mixed up. The hole is not in the attic but in the main hall. You need to try and move into it. The guide has been fixed.

Great guide! I'm having trouble with 36, though. Where are these holes in the attic? I've interacted with every pixel on the screen and can't find them. Does it matter if you saved the imp or not?

Either that or I think the green fire elemental from the book you are supposed to put the emerald into.
Nico  [author] 24 Sep, 2024 @ 2:35am 
Thanks, that very likely was it, I'll add that

Well Done - I believe you have to be killed by the fire elemental in the desert that comes out of a lava pit
