How to unlock the Da Vinci achievement in de Blob - Definitive Guide

EDIT: DcupsOfJustice (Great handle, btw.) pointed out that ink fired from the boss can void your 100% painted if it hits stuff you painted. Several folks in the comments had mentioned that not jumping is a way to possibly keep the boss from inking all your hard work. Credit to them on helping with this tough achievement!

Handy trick that will make this achievement much easier than it looks: hold down Y and your compass will pop up. Do all the challenges and once they're all complete it will point to all the structures you've not painted yet, they will even be highlighted when you get close enough to one! Be aware though, on some of the bigger levels you will need to retrace your steps to the beginning to get that compass to find everything.

WARNING

The Ministry of Ink level has a point of no return via a collapsing bridge. You need to be at 88% complete before you cross this bridge or you will have to do the entire level again.

Siegfried had a helpful suggestion:
To help a little bit:

On Ministry of Ink I arrived at the bridge with 87%. When you touch the floor before the bridge, you will color it and it will jump to 88%. You should have all raydians before that and should be missing a single tree.

DOUBLE WARNING

Lake Raydia also has a point of no return via the ship, you'll know you're getting close when you start to cross the water on z pads. You'll need to be at 50% before jumping on the ship, BEWARE, you can achieve 50% and still be missing a building so run a fine tooth comb over the level before continuing to the ship. Before fighting the boss you should be at 95%. If you hit everything on the ship but still only have 94%, you probably missed something before boarding it.

Happy hunting, and please leave a comment if you think I'm missing something or the solution can be improved.

Found a video that will hopefully help with those of you struggling with Lake Raydia, InsanityAsianCo gets all that beautiful credit:

If you're still having trouble, there are life and time cheats that don't void achievements courtesy of MethodicBR77:

Guys since I didn't find any hint on TA about this codes, I've found important to share (courtesy of GameFaqs). At any moment during the stage you can input: View Button + A,Y,A,Y to gain +10 minutes and(or) View Button + A,A,Y,Y to gain an extra life. These cheats can be used without restriction and don't void the achievements. I've found the +10 minutes time cheat invaluable to do some 100% stages!

Are you using your compass by holding (Y)??? Are you hitting 88% once you hit the bridge on Ministry of Ink? What are your numbers before the ship and before the final boss on Lake Raydia?

You know what that didn’t occur to me and is a good question. I’ll have to take a few dry runs when I get time to test it out, but the first time I followed that video it worked for me. Just gotta be careful and pay close attention. I’ll update the guide if I find out anything of note, thanks for the comment and I’m glad the guide was helpful, I haven’t made that many. It’s this, Okami HD and one solution for A.R.E.S. (Megaman clone).

I can confirm that during the final boss fight when he shoots ink at you and you dodge it it will void previously painted objects outside of the area. Fuck this shitty game. I can't wait to get done. It is so frustrating.

On the last level, even though I make a point not to jump around and instead hide behind the pillars, the boss' shots always ruin one or two spires OUTSIDE the arena.

I went in there with 95% and hadn't missed anything but this makes it almost impossible to get 100% paint in the level. Worst of all, takes about an hour each attempt, too!

Thanks for noteing the spires on the 'Ministry of Ink' boss fight can be effected by the ink projectiles. I couldn't work out why I wasn't getting 100% painted. This could just be my game, but I also figured out that the two spires on both sides of the entrance of the boss arena were the ones that were effected by the boss's ink projectiles. The other spires didn't appear to be effected. When the boss is reloading, I would quickly paint one pillar near those spires, then moved away quickly before he fired again. Hiding behind a pillar if you can't get out of that area in time also works but you'll have to repaint it.

Finally got the 100% in the last mission after my 5th try shock.
I can confirm the way to do this is to try not to jump during the boss battle, as multiple people have already suggested. Even so, I still needed multiple tries to get it, so you might need a bit of luck or a lot of perseverance.
Thanks for all the suggestions and good luck to everyone going for this annoying achievement!

I dont know what's going on but I get on the ship at 50% and no matter what I do, I'm always at 94% before the boss fight. I check my compass and go over and over starting from.the bottom level and im literally not missing anything. Always finish with 99%. What the hell is going on.

First off might want to delete your double post. Second. Make sure you’re hitting all the buildings before the ship because it IS possible to miss a building and have 50%. Start there.

If you’re confident that’s not it, the only other possibility is if you’re jumping during the boss fight, sometimes ink will go outside the arena and hit something you’ve already painted, with no way to go back. So try not jumping during the boss fight.

@METHODICBR77 you are a life saver. This 1000% should be mentioned in the guide!!

I'm currently struggling with Level 9. I went through with a fine tooth comb and still missed an object somewhere before the point of no return, and on my third replay I accidentally locked onto the exit... Beginning to hate this game...

I noticed two things during my second run through Lake Radyia. 1) It is possible to have 95% before going into the boss and still miss a couple objects. I had 95% with one object and the boss gate left to paint. And 2) The boss shots splash damage hitting the fence will ink some objects directly below the objects below the fence. As well as some towers in the back. That did not ruin the 100% for me. I can’t say for a fact that the boss can not ruin a 100% run though. So you may be better of not jumping like people sad. But basically just use extreme caution on the ship. Do not go directly to the boss as soon as you hit 95%, since there actually may be a object or two left.

Just finished the last level expecting to get all the achievements other than the gold medals and time ones and this didn't unlock. Went to extras to look at awards and I have 99/100 (only missing speedrun on last level), looked through the levels and for some reason two of them have 75% painted instead of 100% wtf? Hopefully redoing them unlocks it.

Did Raydia twice now with 50% at ship and 95% at boss, but ended at 99%... ugh. But I'll try again tomorrow; the guide has been great, thanks!

Just in case anyone was wondering:
On the Ministry of Ink level, aside from 88% painted, one missing tree and all raydians saved, you're also meant to have all but two billboards, all but two styles and all but two challenges and landmarks AND one missing 'transform'. Oh, and you'll see the blimp in the plaza with the tank depot, of course. Before the collapsing bridge.

For anyone who can't get to 88%, make sure to check back at the very beginning of the level [you can get back via a 'Z-jump' pad near that firs cliff]. I had missed some pipes before jumping down.

I can't get those two codes to work. It's hold down LB and hit AYAY or hold down LB and hit AAYY, correct?

I figured it out: instead of holding LB you hold down the "back" button (or select).

Also, this is a fantastic guide. Got the 100% on Ministry of Ink first try. The bit about hitting the beginning of the bridge and having the percentage jump to 88% was spot on.

One more thing before I go: There's a third cheat you can use: hold the "select" button and hit AAAA and you'll get Invincibility. Doesn't effect achievements just like the other mentioned cheats. This way when you fight the final boss you can just swim around at his base whenever he fires and he'll just shoot down into the pool. Good luck everyone!

Wow the cheat codes are great. U can keep hitting the codes to add infinite time, and all the lives u want, and invincibility. Nice!

Finally got to 95% before the boss and still ended up with 99%. No idea what I could have missed.
Follow up; finally did it on third attempt thankfully. Was at 95% for boss fight, scoped out the level before hand and had missed 2 items so I’d advise always double checking before carrying on.

Two tips that helped me finally get this on try #3 after twice suffering through the 50/95/99 cycle:

1 - Follow the route in the video. I think this prevents the ink guns on the upper levels from painting over stuff on the lower levels you already cleared.

2 - In addition to not jumping against the final boss, simply never walk in front of the path you entered from. If you never walk in front of it, the boss almost certainly won't paint over the towers/door.

Thanks AL1, ClockKingRM, and OP for the tips. After numerous frustrating attempts to get this cheevo (because of the last 2 levels) managed to get both of them 100% first go ! The videos were sweet.

Like I said you can hit 50% before the ship and still not have everything, make sure you're going over the entire level before the ship, hold down y for the compass and it will point to everything you've not painted. Run out of time if you have to. It will just restart you with more time so don't worry about that too much.

Make sure you're hitting all the islands and little boats, save one of those trucks that give you invincibility when you slam them and you can jump in the water and color most if not all the island stuff. If you're still having trouble I could make try to find some 100% painted videos and link them for you guys.

I have been playing De Blob for about a fortnight now and have only this achievement to unlock for 100%.

I have noticed that during the boss fight at the end the ink projectiles that he fires do splash when they hit a surface and are able to take the colour out of parts outside and/or below the arena. This would mean that these pieces could not be coloured back in as entering the arena for the boss fight is a point of no return. Does anyone know if this has an effect on your paint %?

Also I will mention that I do seem to be struggling to have 95% painting when I reach the boss fight, coming up short by 1%. Does anyone know if there are any particularly tricky bits to colour in other than the ones already mentioned (the islands, etc.)?

Thanks for all the help and great guide!

This game is so trash I regret ever starting this. Finished the 100% painting on the 9th level today after about 10 tries now I am stuck on the 10th level, just jumped to color a platform right as the boss was firing so his ink hit one of the spires behind me and voided my 100% paint for the level angry

Update: After several more tries I finally managed to get the 100% colored on the last level! rock I think the issue of the boss uncoloring the spires is when you jump, he'll fire into the air to hit you. The problem is, the walls covering the arena aren't very high so his high shots he fires at you have a chance of hitting the spires. So my solution is just to not jump against the boss. This might seem difficult at first, but if you save up enough paint you can tank hits through the spikes and color the platforms in his last few phases when the spikes get ridiculous. If you ABSOLUTELY have to, you can jump just after he has fired and is cooling down but make sure you get back to the ground quickly! A strange thing I noticed though is that it two of my spires had been unpainted somehow, the base painted but the actual spires were unpainted and it still said i had the 100% paint badge after I beat the boss. Anyways I hope this helps anyone trying to complete this irritating game.

One thing I noticed on Ministry of Ink: At the very end, after I'd hit the transformation that destroys all the ink cannons around the perimeter, I went about mopping up the last of the buildings. The 100% Painted notification popped yet in front of me were two unpainted buildings. Since these buildings were around the base of where the cannons I can only assume they were buildings that I painted and then were subsequently inked. I don't know what this means but I figured it might be important to mention.

Since this shit is like bugged, I want to confirm that don't jumping in the boss fight will avoid to get you stuck at 99%. This game is a piece of dump. You have to walk only, don't jump, since the boss ink-shots could go through above the fence and paint the entrance pillars or buildings outside. Also, you have to be aware of not getting in the way of the entrance to avoid the boss shots there. Remember: DON'T JUMP.
The boss painted one pillar and even though I recolored it, got 99% at the end.
This annoying trash is published by THQ, that explains everything. That idiots are full of glitched games. This game is real garbage. If you have an enemy, mKe it play this crap and it will suicide in 45 min or 1 hour.

THANKS FOR THE HELP.
