My suggestion is to try and clear all the stages you can and see how many treasures you get naturally. Come back and get the ones you missed if you do not have enough.

The treasures you should probably get by just playing normal would be 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 14, 22, 28, 30, 35, 44, 51, 60, B5, B10, and maybe even B15. So, that's about 15 or so treasures you can probably get without going out of your way.

Personally, I got treasures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 28, 29, 30, 33, 35, 42, 43, 44, 47, 48, 51, 52, 57, 60, B5, B10, B15, and B20 without too much difficulty. That's 39 treasures... and you only need 30 out of the 68 total treasures.

Treasures 32, 37, 38, 45, 46, 54 and 55 also seem doable.

For the ring out stages I suggest using Siegfried and crouching by the edge of the stage. then use a grab (left trigger) and fling them over your back. Same technique for Attack Throws and destroying the walls of a stage.

For the Critical Finish stages use Yun- seong and spam his forward YY for a soul crush and then use a critical finish (left bumper). Easy. Also recommended for the guard a guard break atk floors. (example- floor 28)

For the invisible stage (stage 48) just use a character with the invisible move. You don't even actually have to use it.

Ringing yourself out is a little tricky, but just try to jump around the edge and you'll get it. Another technique is using Cervantes' backward and A+B move (X and Y on the xbox controller). Face the edge and he should torpedo himself right off the stage. I apologize for not knowing the name of the move. I programmed it to be right trigger on my controller because there are so many good A+B moves that you can use.

Siegfried
Weapon: Gram
Skills: HP Drain A, Nullify Ring Out A, Start Dash B
Equipment:
Asura Helm
Monocle (left eye)
Juok Chaplet
Guardian's Pauldrons
Loincloth
Changpao
Ryukyu Gauntlets
Demonic Trousers
Shinobi Tabi
Shinobi Greaves

Alternative Siegfried
Weapon: Gram
Skills: HP Drain A, Nullify Ring Out A, HP Recovery C
Equipment:
Asura Helm
Monocle (right eye)
Guardian's Neck Cloth
Guardian's Pauldrons
Loincloth
Changpao
Venatic Gloves
Guimian Yecha
Shinobi Tabi
Shinobi Greaves

I would also consider modifying either of these characters and using Venom Fang A since it drains health without touching the person. Just remember you gotta change your equipment around if you do...

Yun- Seong
Weapon: Qing Long
Skills: HP Drain A, Soul Gauge Damage A
Equipment:
Hermit's Hood
Nothing
Guardian's Neck Cloth
Demonic Pauldrons
Loincloth
Noble Garment
Dueler's Gloves
Asura Tassets
Shinobi Tabi
Asura Boots

Hope this helps. I prefer Siegfried over Astaroth, so that is the only reason I used him instead. I like his moves better and he feels a bit faster. If you prefer Astaroth, by all means use him. I had to use him to beat level 52-59. Nightmare is also similar to Siegfried and I use him often.
