Finish Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement! Learn how to complete your map, master alchemy, tackle remaining quests, and defeat secret bosses for all achievements.
Alright, you've made it to the end of Bloodstained! This is where we wrap things up and go for that true Castlevania-style completion. There are a few key things left to do, and I'll walk you through them so you can get that satisfying 100%.
Map Completion: Filling out the entire map is a big part of the game, and it even nets you an Achievement. While you *can* tackle the Secret Bosses now, it's actually easier if you focus on filling out the map first. Use your Traverser's items – they'll give you a massive boost once the map is mostly filled, making those tough Secret Boss fights later on much more manageable.
Alchemy Mastery: Get ready to do a LOT of crafting! Completing the item list by crafting everything is another classic ritual for games like this, and yes, it unlocks another Achievement. Many items can *only* be obtained through crafting. If you've been following along, you should have all the recipe key items already, which means every recipe is available to you as long as you have at least one of the required ingredients. For more detailed tips on crafting and saving time, definitely check out the dedicated Alchemy section of the guide.
Quest Completion: By now, you should have wrapped up all the quests for Abigail, Susie, and Benjamin. However, Lindsay had a couple of quests that were tied to defeating the really tough Secret Bosses. If you haven't taken them down yet, those quests will still be waiting for you. If you think you've missed anything, the Quests section has all the details.
Secret Bosses: Speaking of Secret Bosses, those two you might have encountered aren't the only ones. There are five Secret Bosses in total, and one even has its own Secret Level! All the info you need to find and beat them is laid out in the Secret Bosses section.
One-off Achievements: Finally, there are a few miscellaneous achievements that are easy to miss if you're not careful. Make sure to give the Achievements section a look to catch any stragglers before you call it a day.
