How to unlock the Checkpointless achievement

    In order to obtain this achievement you'll basically have to beat every level in the game without dying. You can obtain this in new game + as well.

    PLAINS is the first level you play and acts like the tutorial level. These checkpoints are protected and CANNOT be broken. So don't worry about those.

    The final level has one checkpoint. It's unbreakable as well.

    Essentially I got towards the end of the game, and then I replayed every Knights of No Order levels. Some of them got a bit frustrating. The propeller knight level is the worst :/ because if you die on the boss you basically wasted approximately 10 minutes each attempt. It's a long level so good luck and pat yourself on the back when that one is done.

    Although the description for the achievement may seem daunting, it really isn't. Just take your time and you'll be able to complete all of these levels and destroy all the checkpoints.

    The last two levels before the final level are definitely difficult as well, but after trial and error you'll be getting through them eventually.

    You'll need to finish your playthrough completely for the achievement to pop if you in go in order. Otherwise the achievement will pop once you complete whichever level you missed a checkpoint on.

    FedeguitarI completed the game without dying and didn't unlocked this achievement, I've probably forgotten a checkpoint :( . Can i repeat the stages and then fight the final boss again to unlock the achievement? or I will have to beat the game again?
    Thanks!

    FedeguitarI played 3 stages again and the checkpoint that I forgot was in Pridemoor Keep (King boss). I can confirm that after losing a checkpoint you can repeat the stages and unlock the achievement. Its not necessary to repeat the final boss. The achievement unlocks after defeating the boss at the stage where the missing the checkpoint is (in my case was the second stage).

    Jakez123You can earn this in NG+, once you start NG+, just destroy every checkpoint you see (there should be 2 per level, and 1 on the tower level). You'll unlock the achievement at the end if you destroy every checkpoint on NG+

    OhMyGoth1I went in order while working on my deathless run, and the achievement popped at the end of the boss rush. I didn't have to fully finish the game before it popped.

    GoGoActionTeamI'm currently attempting this on NG+ and here is something I'm finding helpful. So by the time I get to a checkpoint, I've taken a few points of damage and in NG+ there are hardly any health drops anywhere I can find. To counter this, I first activate the checkpoint then find the nearest pit and jump (I'm also attempting the not spending any gold achievement as well so the loss of gold means nothing). This respawns you at the checkpoint with full health and magic. Then you can destroy the checkpoint and continue at full strength.
