How to unlock the Checkpointless (Specter Knight) achievement in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Definitive Guide

This isn't a guide just some tips to help out...

You need to break all the breakable checkpoints in the game.

Basically you have to make it through every level (barring a couple which have unbreakable checkpoints) destroying all checkpoints as you go. If you die you'll have to retry from the start of the level and the checkpoints you broke will remain broken unless you swap to try another stage instead. When you return you'll have to start afresh on that stage though.

Collecting as many Will of the Wisps and Darkness from within the stages is very helpful as you will have more health.

Get the Will Skull Curio from Legion in the tower asap (this will help you to regain health during boss fight and during the levels).

Get the Cloak of Clemency from Manny asap (This cloak can literally save you if you have an unfortunate instant death or something.

Also I think it's worth noting that I missed a checkpoint in the Clockwork Tower. I completed the game with no achievement then did NOT select new game plus. Went back to Clockwork Tower and broke all the checkpoints. When I killed the Tiny Tinker bosses at the end the achievement unlocked.

So this proves you could in theory... Go through all the levels building up your characters Will/Darkness/Curios and Cloaks.

You could even use the checkpoints if you wanted to be cautious. Not only for practise but you could collect some Will and Darkness maybe a bit of money too.

Then go back and attempt each level with a maxed out character for added comfort :)

Can confirm replaying the levels works. I played through collecting everything then went back to destroy the checkpoints after finishing the game, pretty easy with all the items and upgrades smile

I think if you destroy all checkpoints on NG+ it’s should be fine. Sorry I can’t be exact though, been a couple years now since I wrote this.

You can get all the checkpointless achievements on NG+ but I wouldn't recommend it. I did it that way on vanilla and it got really frustrating

Is there a hard to find checkpoint in any of the levels? I got all the power-ups and went back to destroy all checkpoints but this isn't unlocking. Do I have to do the checkpoints without dying? I have the achievement in Shovel and Plague so this is really puzzling me. Went through the levels two times :(

Ah man that sucks. I don’t remember there being any hard to find checkpoints, they are all along the way I think. I’m sure you don’t have to beat the whole game without dying but I would definitely beat each level without dying and smash all checkpoints. Some of these achievements are a little stramge with the requirements...

If anyone is having trouble figuring out which stages you have destroyed all checkpoints, you can check this by defeating the final boss and looking at your stats in the credits. Every level that has all checkpoints destroyed will have a red X next to it in the credits. Also, you have to destroy all the checkpoints in a particular level in one go. You can’t destroy half in one run, then the other half in another run.
