How to unlock the Hope Springs Eternal achievement in Child of Eden - Definitive Guide
With credit to Gamingnerd on Youtube, I found these videos to be the last piece to passing Hope. Rather than show how to complete the entire archive, he takes a minimalist approach and only purifies enemies that can damage him. Turn annotations on and pause every now and then to let him get ahead by a section or so before copying the video.
Hope is the challenge mode unlocked after you clear all 5 archives on Normal. It is very hard to beat and is 10 levels long and lasts between 20-30 minutes. Thankfully you only need to beat the level and not worry about getting a Gold Star or 5 stars of 100% purification. Beating the level is hard enough. The hardest stages are stages 6 and 10. Each stage is hard to pass without getting hit (the rest can be timed with practice to make it past without damage). It is important to note that you only have 3 health (can get hit twice before dying) and only 1 Euphoria, It is advised you save your Euphoria for stage 10 on the area where you are swarmed bu enemy's gold bullets. Stage 6 requires you to be quick with your cursor in order yo get past the walls, I found it easy to move from one side of the wall to the other systematically.
