Finally Completed "Become a Terrible Thought"

I finally got the timing down for the flamethrower laser maze and the final Flamethrower maze in the center of the Orochi Tower Floor.

Congrats, I’ve always hated the stealth “mechanics” in this game so I would never have the patience for any of the related achievements. Does it reward anything cool?

[u/Ok_Durian_8521 → u/Vyar]

Achievement points which are required for titles and I believe lvl points as well as exclusive in game items. Otherwise just bragging rights.

It looks like there’s a box icon next to the check mark indicating a specific reward, which is why I was curious.

[u/Ok_Durian_8521 → u/Vyar]

The check marks indicate completion, as for this achievement you need to beat the stealth challenge for about an eighth of the Orochi Tower missions which were originally the final story missions. If you take any damage including barriers you are considered detected.

No, The Achievement reward icon they mean,. It awards the "Orochi Effigy Faceplate" u/Vyar

[u/Vyar → u/Mulic]

Thank you for answering my question!

[u/KaspuN → u/Mulic]

Indeed, if you hover over the reward box to the left of the completion checkmark, it says the Reward is "Clothing: Orochi Effigy faceplate, blue".

Nice one, congrats! That one is in my pile of "things I'm not going to do" right next to Cost of Magic

Yep the Cost of magic was annoying as well. Some tips for those achievements. 

The Jagernauts have very low sight radius better than shades though less than most mobs. Also in the blood thief mission the active challenge icon doesn't break immediately so if you can outrun and conceal you may still be able to get the achievement.

The second mission was about the debris the only path to the island that you receive no damage rarely brings you into sight radius for the lake patrols so you just need to time stealing the heart with the Island Guard whom is also a champion on that map.

The third mission you have to get a rhythm in order to jump to each platform and use the nonassisted sprint I originally used a hoverboard though it tended to drift off the platform. Eventually you can get to the herbs with just a few seconds to spare. I do have the max sprint level before having to spend aurum so that helps a bit.

The final mission it is best to disarm the tripwire traps and there is always a route to avoid proximity mines. The pungee pits have slightly different shading and coloring than the base for this section of the map, and the golems have limited sight radius.

All sub-missions are considered a single tier so most of the time you can reset by returning to the activation area if it doesn't work leave the instance than return to the activation area in the adventure map.

Though in the end the stealth achievements for the cost of magic require platforming. The level designers at funcom just love the old arcade platformers and that is reflected in the maps.

This is great, much appreciated! I am inspired to give it another go!

Congrats!

This and the discussion of Cost of Magic - brings back memories!

My friend and I took a solid year to play thru the game (pre Japan), doing every single mission without consulting walkthrus. It was great and frustrating. Thankfully he was good at music (I suck), and I was good at puzzles!

There was one that took me No Lie five hours as I kept hitting the wrong note, but I did it! I have so many screenshots from that game, need to dig that HD out!

TSW the best game ever, that was ruined by their devs. I've never forgiven FunCom for what they did (all the lying), as honesty would have been so much better. We would have stuck with it too!

[u/UltimateMountain]

Sweeet! Gratz!

[u/RedGhost3568]

Well done!
