How to unlock the Da Vinci achievement

    EDIT: DcupsOfJustice (Great handle, btw.) pointed out that ink fired from the boss can void your 100% painted if it hits stuff you painted. Several folks in the comments had mentioned that not jumping is a way to possibly keep the boss from inking all your hard work. Credit to them on helping with this tough achievement!

    Handy trick that will make this achievement much easier than it looks: hold down Y and your compass will pop up. Do all the challenges and once they're all complete it will point to all the structures you've not painted yet, they will even be highlighted when you get close enough to one! Be aware though, on some of the bigger levels you will need to retrace your steps to the beginning to get that compass to find everything.

    WARNING

    The Ministry of Ink level has a point of no return via a collapsing bridge. You need to be at 88% complete before you cross this bridge or you will have to do the entire level again.

    Siegfried had a helpful suggestion:
    To help a little bit:

    On Ministry of Ink I arrived at the bridge with 87%. When you touch the floor before the bridge, you will color it and it will jump to 88%. You should have all raydians before that and should be missing a single tree.

    DOUBLE WARNING

    Lake Raydia also has a point of no return via the ship, you'll know you're getting close when you start to cross the water on z pads. You'll need to be at 50% before jumping on the ship, BEWARE, you can achieve 50% and still be missing a building so run a fine tooth comb over the level before continuing to the ship. Before fighting the boss you should be at 95%. If you hit everything on the ship but still only have 94%, you probably missed something before boarding it.

    Happy hunting, and please leave a comment if you think I'm missing something or the solution can be improved.

    Found a video that will hopefully help with those of you struggling with Lake Raydia, InsanityAsianCo gets all that beautiful credit:

    If you're still having trouble, there are life and time cheats that don't void achievements courtesy of MethodicBR77:

    Guys since I didn't find any hint on TA about this codes, I've found important to share (courtesy of GameFaqs). At any moment during the stage you can input: View Button + A,Y,A,Y to gain +10 minutes and(or) View Button + A,A,Y,Y to gain an extra life. These cheats can be used without restriction and don't void the achievements. I've found the +10 minutes time cheat invaluable to do some 100% stages!

    ClockKingRMOne thing I noticed on Ministry of Ink: At the very end, after I'd hit the transformation that destroys all the ink cannons around the perimeter, I went about mopping up the last of the buildings. The 100% Painted notification popped yet in front of me were two unpainted buildings. Since these buildings were around the base of where the cannons I can only assume they were buildings that I painted and then were subsequently inked. I don't know what this means but I figured it might be important to mention.

    ClockKingRMAlso, this is a fantastic guide. Got the 100% on Ministry of Ink first try. The bit about hitting the beginning of the bridge and having the percentage jump to 88% was spot on.

    ClockKingRMOne more thing before I go: There's a third cheat you can use: hold the "select" button and hit AAAA and you'll get Invincibility. Doesn't effect achievements just like the other mentioned cheats. This way when you fight the final boss you can just swim around at his base whenever he fires and he'll just shoot down into the pool. Good luck everyone!

    I ASK NO ONEWow the cheat codes are great. U can keep hitting the codes to add infinite time, and all the lives u want, and invincibility. Nice!

    Chelski BlueFinally got to 95% before the boss and still ended up with 99%. No idea what I could have missed.
    Follow up; finally did it on third attempt thankfully. Was at 95% for boss fight, scoped out the level before hand and had missed 2 items so I’d advise always double checking before carrying on.

    NessNoldoSince this shit is like bugged, I want to confirm that don't jumping in the boss fight will avoid to get you stuck at 99%. This game is a piece of dump. You have to walk only, don't jump, since the boss ink-shots could go through above the fence and paint the entrance pillars or buildings outside. Also, you have to be aware of not getting in the way of the entrance to avoid the boss shots there. Remember: DON'T JUMP.
    The boss painted one pillar and even though I recolored it, got 99% at the end.
    This annoying trash is published by THQ, that explains everything. That idiots are full of glitched games. This game is real garbage. If you have an enemy, mKe it play this crap and it will suicide in 45 min or 1 hour.

    THANKS FOR THE HELP.

    AL1Two tips that helped me finally get this on try #3 after twice suffering through the 50/95/99 cycle:

    1 - Follow the route in the video. I think this prevents the ink guns on the upper levels from painting over stuff on the lower levels you already cleared.

    2 - In addition to not jumping against the final boss, simply never walk in front of the path you entered from. If you never walk in front of it, the boss almost certainly won't paint over the towers/door.

    JoeldrtThanks a lot to ClockKingRM because his advice is wonderful. The codes dont affect any achievement. Thanks!

    RyazTheRastaThanks AL1, ClockKingRM, and OP for the tips. After numerous frustrating attempts to get this cheevo (because of the last 2 levels) managed to get both of them 100% first go ! The videos were sweet.
