THIS IS NOT MY SOLUTION THIS IS COPPIED FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE AND WAS ONE OF THE ONLY WRITTEN GUIDES I FOUND.
I AM TAKING NO CREDIT FOR THIS.


EDIT: I have created the walkthrough for this game. This achievement is main one to get as when you get this you will have about 700gs (im guessing) so if you look through my guide it is basicly this but much much better as it has video guides and tells you how to get everything. Hope it helps.

This achievement is Missable. In order to get this achievement, you must get every single collectible in the game in a single playthrough. In order to do so, you should keep tabs on how many XP you have at the end of each level, so you know if you found them all. If you miss one, you can't just go back to an earlier mission... you have to play the entire game from the one you missed until the end.

If you miss one, don't sweat too much. You can look at your save files and see how much XP you have at each mission start, and so you can figure out which checkpoint to go back to in order to find the ones you missed.

Candied Skull used to have a perfect guide up, but the site is down now. :-(

At the end of each level, you should have the following totals:

1- 1000 XP
2- 2100 XP
3- 3500 XP
4- 5400 XP
5- 6700 XP
6- 8200 XP
7- 9200 XP
8- 10200 XP
9- 11700 XP
10- 13600 XP
11- 14300 XP
12- 15000 XP

By finding collectibles, you'll earn XP.
Some are worth 100 points, others 300.
Every 1000 XP, you'll earn a skill point.

You must find EVERY collectible (15000 XP) in the game to achieve this.
