How to unlock the Keep it 100! achievement in Darksiders III - Definitive Guide

It's highly recommended you do this after you have the BFA achievement in New Game Plus.

Some key tips to help get to level 100 easily:

-New game plus can be played on any difficulty. Thus you can easily complete if you already managed to get the "BFA" achievement. You should already be around level 60 at this point.

-Before you start your first NG+, I'd recommend you have Balanced Fortune enhancement fully upgraded and attached to your whip (or which ever weapon you use most). This increases the lurcher drop by 50%. You should have Riders mercy already by saving all the humans. This increases lurcher drops by another 10%. Also make sure you complete the crucible in your previous run and get the armor that provides yet another 10% lurcher drop. (Don't sweat it if you didn't get it). This can be upgraded in NG+ to provide a larger lurcher reward. To upgrade you need to defeat the enemies with red eyes in new game plus to get a special ore you use at the Makers Forge. Don't go out of your to upgrade this beyond level +3 this run as you will get a better armor shortly.

-Each playthrough gives you 15 luminous visages. These are free level ups and are best to save for the later levels, as each level up requires more and more lurchers otherwise.

-I highly recommend beating your first run of NG+ quickly, only going out of your way to get the 15 luminous visages. DO NOT SHATTER ANY OF YOUR LURCHER CRYSTALS DURING THIS RUN. NG+2 gives you the Armageddon armor that increases the amount of lurchers you receive while shattering crystals. Also red eyed enemies appear more often and give you better ores to further upgrade your armor. Focus on upgrading this armor this run. If you saved up enough lurcher crystals I wouldn't worry about getting the armor beyond +3. When you feel you accumulated enough lurcher crystals to get somewhere in the ballpark of level 85, go crazy and shatter them all. Your 15 luminous visages from the last run will get you over the top. If you are short of level 85, again don't worry as this NG+ will grant you another 15 luminous visages. Focus on collecting the easier ones until you get to level 100.

-Finally to get the achievement to actually pop, I had to feed some lurchers to Vulgrim.


Some additional tips to note if you are still just short:

-In NG+ you will find "Wisdom shards." These boost the lurcher drop rate by another 100%-200% for a limited time.
-Certain unique drops are now replaced by "Forsaken" Lurcher crystals. These give a large amount of lurchers. Each NG+ completion grants you more lurchers from these crystals.

I kept all my luminous visages from my first playthrough and used those 16, plus 15 from the NG+ run at level 68... Then went up one more level via Vulgrim.

I just want to add some info to your great solution! toast

- - With the new Update, if you use a luminous visage the souls for the next level not increased as much as a "standard way". I used 12 at level 86 -> Before it, I needed 59.7k for the next level, and after needed 60.5k. Previously if used a Luminous Visage, the souls for the next level increased like a standard leveling up, as you mentioned.
- - In NG+ I didn't get the luminous visage after SLOTH boss, maybe an update glitch, maybe just for me.
- - Started with level 62 + 450k (8 level) souls in pocket (farm and Crucible). So from 70 with a full playthrough (killed and collected almost everything AGAIN) got just enough souls for level 100 at the end (still have 60k souls). Sold everything for souls (shards, upgrade materials and artifacts). So 2 full playthrough not enough, farming needed (or NG+2)!
- - At level 100, I need 61.5k for the next level. Used total 28-29 luminous visage.

Good Luck!

It takes around 4 million souls to reach level 100, granted due to the Luminous Visages you don't need that many to get to level 100, but if you are still struggling to get to level 100 or you want to get there early so you won't to worry about having to play the full game looting again in NG+, I would recommend following the video below. All credits to the video maker (Ebrahim Al-Mubarak).

Just some things to add to the video, I am not 100% sure how the glitch works exactly, but what seemed to need to happen for me is:
1. Having the game lag a bit when doing rounds behind the bus and
2. making sure that all chasing enemies die before hitting the blue soul demon. You can move back up the stair and back down if the enemies stop following you.
The method shown still works as of 2020/04/24, but for me it didn't duplicate properly every time, meaning sometimes I would end up with the same amount of souls I ended the last run with or the blue demon itself would duplicate as well, when that happens it is likely you will end up with over 3 times the amount you finished last run with. Using the method shown in the video I was able to get over 4 million souls in about 20 mins starting with a souls amount of 137000.

Is this blue demon continually respawning, or is it one that appears if you click force respawn?
Do you have to make sure you never destroy it the first time you see it if so (I probably hit it when I first went to that area on my initial play through I’m in now)?
Is this in NG+? Or matters not?

His went up 50k each time, is that how much, or were you saying it doubles each time?

Does this work on the windows version?

Edit: tested it and it doesn’t seem to work on the windows version. Did 3 runs and I only ever got like 1,000 extra every time. cry

Couldn't get this to work on the Series X, but as soon as I switched back to my Xbox One I managed to turn 200,000 souls into 12 million doing this method only twice.

The blue demon you see if the one that spawns when you hit force respawn. I did this in my first (non-NG+) play through. As per the amount, it should double after you hit it.

I can confim this still works (09/2020).
My souls didn't just duplicate each time, they was multiplied by a seemingly random amount between x5 and x12!
From around 60K to 59 Million in just 4 runs o_O

(In my experience, this only allows you to get the achievement, it doesn't allow you to keep the levels)

Here is a solution I found. Although it talks about PS4 and a imperfect method for Xbox One, I was able to get it to work in part using cn_A and cn_B while I was in the load menu. BUt in my experience, I wasn't able to get out of the menu after collecting the luminious visages. So I had to shatter an entire clump of these (i think i had 75 at the time, and the achievement unlocked. I then had to back out to the menu and when I returned to the game, I was back at what I was before doing this.... so for me, i wasn't able to get out of the glitch to get it to work.

I will also point out that I didn't want to chance my apololipic run, so i completed the ng+ run, and when it gave me the option to start another new game, i cancelled, which when I resumed brought me back to the point before the final fight. (NOTE: the gameplay menu is wierd, and even changing settings can change and void the difficulty achievement, as per comments and my experience of my first run)

I had done 2 playthrus, one of normal, and then my new game plus on hardest difficulty and done both DLCs, collecting everything and fighting everything, and I was only level 67 when i got to the final battle.

So this achievement requires insane grinding, even if you don't use any of the visages you get. I used most of them from my first run, and saved all of my second run ones, but still without this glitch, i would have (probably wouldn't have) grinded for many many hours or did another NG++ run, which I didn't fancy.

The video is NOT by myself, so give the author credit on youtube please.

This one will be a bit of a grind as feeding Vulgrim souls to level to 100 will be taxing. To level up to 100 quicker, use Wisdom Shards, as they can greatly increase your lurchers-received by at least 100% when fighting a handful of enemies. They are dropped by the new demons with red-glowing eyes. Also, equip Balanced Fortune to receive 50% more lurchers when you defeat them with the weapon this item is equipped on. I recommended the Barbs of Scorn (your default weapon).

Forsaken Lurcher Crystals (6,000 souls per, Armageddon 1; 8,000 souls per Armageddon 2, etc.) take the places of the Enhancements and the Nephilim's Respite upgrade locations if you haven't picked them up already. When starting a new game plus, after beating the game first time around, you should be Level 60-65. By the time you get to start Armageddon 2, you should be Level 84-86, depending if you've cleared every area for the souls and lurcher crystals. So an Armageddon 2 run will be necessary.

Finding all 14 Luminous Visage in the game is the quickest way to level up. They're dropped by Sin bosses and there are quite a few lying around in the world. Here are their locations.

Note: The armor Raiment of Armageddon will be awarded to you as you start your Armageddon 2 run. I highly recommend equipping this armor as it has a buff that, when killing enemies, a percentage of lurchers will be rewarded as well as when shattering crystals. This will help you even more when feeding Vulgrim for leveling up sooner.

Perhaps the longest trophy. It took me 2.5 playthroughs to get it.
In any case, you will have to play through the game at least twice, because... Even during the second playthrough, it is impossible to collect lurchers to level up to level one hundred. Grinding mobs in one place is long and tedious. My stats were like this:
First playthrough - level 69;
Second playthrough - level 85;
About a third of the game in the third playthrough is level 100.

Here are some tips to help save time:
1. Insert a talisman into your main weapon that increases the number of lurchers for killing enemies. Upgrade your talisman from the blacksmith. Kill enemies only with it.
2. Insert a talisman into your additional weapon that gives lurchers for destroying objects, also upgrade it from the blacksmith. Whenever possible, break things with this weapon. Lurchers accumulate very well. One step at a time, as they say.
3. During the first and second playthroughs, remember the places where the remains of the dead lie (or something called that), which give one level point. When you go through it again, they will be in the same places. They also drop from sin bosses.
4. Starting from the second playthrough, sell Vulgrim everything you can (except see point 5). They also give a lot of lurchers for this.
5. During the second playthrough of the game, do not spend bars of oblivion metal on pumping up armor, and especially do not sell them cheaply to Vulgrim. They will come in handy in the third playthrough.
6. In the third playthrough, they give you armor that helps you get more lurchers for killing enemies and breaking lurcher crystals. This is where the oblivion metal bars come in handy, because... You can immediately upgrade your armor to several levels at the blacksmith, thereby getting more lurchers when killing enemies and breaking crystals.

After the second playthrough I was level 90, plus 5 flickering remains from the second playthrough. Accordingly, after killing the sloth, I accumulated another 4 or 5 flickering remains. After spending all the souls and flickering remains, I got level 101. The most important thing is to collect all the flickering remains. I also recommend saving up the flickering remains and breaking them last, since after that the vulgrim will have to give up more souls per level.

Level 300 is the maximum. With the glitch I picked up the Shining Remains. Much faster than raising souls.

It’s quite possible to get the trophy on the second playthrough if you don’t spend the flickering remains right away. I got level 78 before killing Wrath and after that I used 22 pieces of remains (that’s how much I collected in 2 playthroughs, I didn’t specifically look for it). It helps a lot to sell artifacts and essences of the chosen ones, but only on the second playthrough, when everything needs to be pumped up.

For owners of the Keepers of the Void DLC , you can complete it in 2 playthroughs.
After completing the DLC, they give excellent armor, the best in the game, by pumping it up, we will be able to get maximum lurchers from broken crystals. Plus, don’t forget to insert an upgraded talisman for lurchers into your weapon.
Well, you can level up well in the Crucible

Below is a video where you can find 15 (and 16) level upgrades that immediately increase the level by +1.

You will have to go through the game at least 2 times as written above, under no circumstances do we waste “shining remains”, after the 2nd run there will be about 14 pieces, we swing up to level 86 and then only use it to avoid unnecessary farming.
