Atic Atac Walkthrough

This path will work for all three characters, as it does not use any of their unique shortcuts. Make sure that when you complete the game on one character, you select New Game instead of just jumping right back in. Otherwise, the locations of certain items will be randomized.

Using this path I was able to finish with no deaths. You don't even need the Red Key. Just make sure you keep an eye on your health and rewind if you get hit to conserve as much health as possible, especially in the room with the Demon. He deals a massive amount of damage, and you'll most likely have to circle him a couple times for the door to open.

The amount of time it takes will vary as well, mainly due to the random opening/closing of the doors. I did one run in 7:06 and then another in only 5:56 simply because the doors were more cooperative that time.

(Note: There are some screens that are staircases linking the different floors, and these only have one possible door to go through other than the one you entered, so they have been omitted from this guide. You'll usually encounter them at the end of one of the numbered steps.)

I think if you are the Knight you can fall down the trap door in 20 then go R, R, D. Saves a few rooms. Just saying because I was the Knight and didn't read the part about being careful not to fall. I did and once I figure out where I was on the map (see walkthrough) I realized it was actually closer for me.

You earn this achievement when you beat the game for the first time, by collecting all three parts of the 'key of A.C.G.' and using these to unlock the door in the starting room and leaving through it.

With credit to SkullFire58 for the original posting, here's a step-by-step walkthrough - this can be followed for any character as it doesn't use any of the character-specific secret passages. Note that this walkthrough doesn't require the use of the red key at any point (though you should still pick it up at least once for the "Inventory Management" achievement).

If you get lost at any point, you may find it useful to refer to the castle map included at the start of the roadmap.

------------

U = Up
D = Down
L = Left
R = Right
------------

  1. D, L, U
  2. L, U. Fall through the trapdoor.

  9. D, D, R, D (bottom-right door), D (through the bottom-right yellow door), D (through the blue door), R (through the yellow door), R, D.
