Shadows of the Damned

this is a guide was originally written by Zawad Iftikhar that i found for the red gems credit goes to him i found more red gems and added them to the guide

I Suggest that u do this on lemon hunter because the red gem cost is 45 white gems on lemon hunter, 75 on demon hunter and 120 on legion hunter

There are total 80 red gems that you need to collect in Shadows of the Damned to unlock High in Las Vegas achievement or trophy. 40 of these red gems are hidden throughout the Underworld and remaining 40 can be bought from the Christopher’s shop.

You can buy these gems using the white gems that you would collect throughout the game. Also, you need to collect them all in a single playthrough since there is no chapter select option available in the game. So, you would need to do a second run if you missed any of these hidden red gems.

u can actually buy all the red gems from Christopher he has unlimited supply of red gems and u can farm crystals in certain spots in the campaign . (see Snowseph Guide For Farming locations)The total on Lemon hunter is 3600, on Demon hunter is 6000, and on Legion Hunter is 9600 white gems to buy all eighty red gems.

2 Gems for 4 mins

too short too short too short too short too short too short

I made a guide for Achievement Hunter, showing you where all the hidden gems are in the game. Hope this helps you guys out !

To add to SwordOfTheAngel's solution, technically you do not need to actually find all of the gems hidden throughout the game. You simply need to unlock all 80 upgrades, through any combination of found gems and gems bought from Christopher.

Since Christopher has a (seemingly) unlimited supply of red gems, you can actually get this while skipping many of the red gems hidden throughout the game. The trick is to use a few key moments with infinitely spawning enemies to farm white gems, and to be sure to play on easy, as red gems from Christopher cost only 45 white gems (as opposed to 75 on normal and 120 on hard).

There's a few parts where you can farm white gems from infinite baddies:
-either of the two giant-head mini-bosses early on (the ones shrouded in darkness with the 3 rotating red weak points)
-in chapter 3-2, after the second bridge collapses and you have to chase Paula around the lake, demons will spawn indefinitely here (this is probably the best place to farm, as the enemies spawn pretty quickly)
-during the boss fight with the final Reaper sister in the library; whenever the world turns to darkness, she'll spawn 3 weak demons, which you can kill after lighting the goat's head

If there are any more infinite-spawn points, feel free to add them.

And it should be noted that the white gem counter maxes out at 999, so there's no point in trying to farm past that. 999 white gems on easy = 22 red gems from Christopher.

This trick is also useful for maxing out Garcia's abilities early on, so if you're having trouble on whatever difficulty, this might make it a bit easier for you.

if you want to do a white crystal farm and you have gone past chapter3 -2 then there is a way to farm on the demon library level chapter 4 - 2 the level after the stupid 2D paper level, you have entered the library and sorted the bigde out and gone over the bridge you come another library bit and teleport demon pops out at you. use the skullfest 9000 and light shot the demon in to a corner and then he will fall over. from this the big blue X comes on the screen, button smash the x and keep going and an unlimited amount of white crystals apear. glitch i think so but an easy way to get the extra white crystals you need :)

MAC.
(if you give neg vote i would like to know why please.)

Shadows of the Damned video for farming white gems,and other general information,if people still need help,I will respond as soon as I can.I hope this video helps.Guys,I also wanted to add,in chapter 4-5,this should also work for many if not all of you,near the firework lighter,there is a red gem and also behind the house where you buy ammo there is a red gem in the hut when you solve the puzzle.At certain points when you get the save points with one eyed willy, quit out and restart the red gems will appear again and again,and try to shoot out the demons legs and stomp by hitting x crazy and you will get many white gems and ammo cases.I wish I had recorded this,I got around 5 to 6 extra red gems when I quit out and restarted on this chapter,and many many white gems by stomping the living {hell},get it,out of the demons!

The above solution works well and is what I used but a few things need to be clarified.

First, I never saw the demon by the ladder....EVER. I do not believe that he has ANYTHING to do with this glitch working or not working as it's not a true glitch but a save exploit.

The KEY to making sure this works right to to ALTERNATE the save points properly.

After you enter this area (2-1), go to the far wall (it's directly in front of you) half way there, Your guy will say "here we go again" inside the enclave (below the goat head and to the left) is the red gem. After the cutscene, light the goat head and kill the four demons.

Now you can do some small farming of the white gems or dispatch them quickly if you want. after the 4th one dies it shows you the gate to go through. Go through it and stop at the end of the wall. willie will drop and the save icon will appear. Hit start, exit the game. Go to continue, select the save file, and continue again.

After the games loads, turn around and go to the gate that you entered to this area. Your guy will say, again, "here we go again", it will go to the same cut scene which is what pops you back on the other side of the gate.

NOW, after you grab the gem, light the goat, and kill the 4 demons this is where you want to switch the save point! If you look at the gate to which you came through ORIGINALLY to get into this area you will see white Z's floating in the air. Go to this gate (behind the tree in the courtyard) and willie will drop to your left to create another save! quit back to main menu and repeat 80 times.

THIS is where the confusion comes in. You must rotate back and forth between the two save points for this exploit to work! The easiest way to tell if which of the two saves to use is to look for the white Z's. If you see them, use that point! It is easy to confuse yourself and if you use the "next" gate when the Z's are there, you will mess it up and have to start all over again.

Existe una locación en el acto 4-3 en la librería en la que puedes cultivar gemas rojas y blancas de manera ilimitada, pero considero que el mejor lugar para hacer esto es en el acto 2-1 que es el primer capítulo después del prólogo. El método para hacer esto es muy sencillo y puedes ayudarte del video que dejo a continuación para que te hagas de casi todas las mejoras en la parte inicial del juego. Una vez que llegamos al área marcada en el video deberemos eliminar a todos los enemigos hasta activar una pequeña secuencia en la cual se nos menciona que hemos desbloqueado la puerta. Después de esto salimos por la puerta, activamos el punto de control, esperamos a que el juego se guarde y regresamos al menú principal. Cargamos nuestra partida, nos encontraremos afuera del área en donde eliminamos a los enemigos, volteamos hacia la puerta y podremos ver que el símbolo de la puerta se encuentra iluminado, nos acercamos y esto volverá a iniciar la secuencia inicial. Eliminamos a todos los enemigos nuevamente y en esta ocasión activaremos el punto de control que se encuentra en la misma sección, aunque este no es visible si podremos ver las letras que muestra el personaje. Esperamos el guardado, salimos al menú principal, volvemos a cargar la partida y repetimos este proceso una y otra vez hasta obtener las gemas que deseemos. No es necesario obtener las 80 gemas aquí ya que en el transcurso del juego podremos obtener 40 gemas rojas y las demás comprárselas a Christopher, pero este fallo viene bien para obtenerlas lo antes posible o para afrontar las dificultades mas altas del juego.
