100% Completion Tips
Playthrough Order
First run: Standard difficulty, explore everything. Second run: Sha-Chi Master using New Game+. The true ending requires a second playthrough if you miss Memory Fragments.
Missable Achievements
Memory Fragments (Hidden Truth) are missable if you enter the final boss arena. Explore every region thoroughly before the point of no return.
Parry King Strategy
Best done against Ogre Hammer Lord on Story difficulty. His slow Hammer Slam is the easiest Brutal Move to parry. Equip Venomous Softblade for extended parry windows.
