How to unlock the Checkpointless achievement in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Definitive Guide
PLAINS is the first level you play and acts like the tutorial level. These checkpoints are protected and CANNOT be broken. So don't worry about those.
The final level has one checkpoint. It's unbreakable as well.
Essentially I got towards the end of the game, and then I replayed every Knights of No Order levels. Some of them got a bit frustrating. The propeller knight level is the worst :/ because if you die on the boss you basically wasted approximately 10 minutes each attempt. It's a long level so good luck and pat yourself on the back when that one is done.
Although the description for the achievement may seem daunting, it really isn't. Just take your time and you'll be able to complete all of these levels and destroy all the checkpoints.
The last two levels before the final level are definitely difficult as well, but after trial and error you'll be getting through them eventually.
You'll need to finish your playthrough completely for the achievement to pop if you in go in order. Otherwise the achievement will pop once you complete whichever level you missed a checkpoint on.
Thanks!
Hitting a Checkpoint with your shovel 3 times will break it, and release some treasure. (Something to keep in mind if you want some extra treasure and are confident in your abilities.) If you destroy any Checkpoints in a stage, in the event that you die, you will be sent back to the most recent Checkpoint that you activated but did not destroy. If you have been destroying all Checkpoints that you pass, upon death, you will be sent back to the start of the stage. For this trophy, you have to destroy all Checkpoints in all stages, with the exception of the First and Last stages in the game, as those Checkpoints are indestructible. There is no way to check in-game which stages you have destroyed all Checkpoints in, so you will need to keep track of it yourself. This trophy is best paired with Impossible!, as you won't be dying anyways, so you might as well destroy the Checkpoints as you go.
The trophy will unlock immediately upon dealing the finishing blow to the final Boss, provided you didn't miss any Checkpoints along the way.
