How to unlock the Magister Scientiae achievement in The Chant - Definitive Guide
Magister difficulty isn't really as bad as it sounds. I combo'ed this one with "beating the game under 4 hours" and for "not killing any Cultist." Which again doesn't sound as bad as it is. Your main objective while going for this as follows and I'll list what I did for this too.
- Almost every section you can avoid killing enemies unless the objective specially says you must kill X enemy to progress the chapter.
- Dodge and laying traps with salt will be your best friend. Many objectives can be completed by simply slowing/stunning enemies and then interacting with the objective.
- Heavy attacks with oil will often destroy many bosses. Use this to quickly deal with most of your major encounters. The only one that really gave me trouble was at the lighthouse, and in that case make sure you use your "swarm destroying" weapon when applicable.
- Make sure you spend a bit of time to upgrade your base stats and the effectiveness of your items. The ability to take less damage from attacks is rather nice too.

Complete the game on the hardest level. Since the game doesn't force you to kill every enemy, you can simply run through the game without feeling too challenged. So I advise you to start the game with the “Master” difficulty!
