Curious on whether people think an 100% category should be added to the board.

I've thought about it, but it'd be a bit tedious with collecting all the Archives, and keeping track of how much of the game is completed as there is no percentage level to monitor

A category collecting everything but Archives could be better (possibly called Archiveless% ?), and showing each page in the Galactic Compendium, as well as Outfits, to prove that everything has been collected

• also curious on whether unlocking all abilities should count?

Hmm I like the idea of this, if you want I could create a document with every Database entry etc? We could collaborate on it if you want?

I was thinking about using a collectible guide and making a route out of that, but that works too haha.

The only problem is that I'm pretty sure some items can only be picked up during certain paths of the story. I think a New Game+ file being included in the run would work, but that makes it even longer and means there can't be a 100% category for both Any% and NG+

This is def a cool idea! Would probably put it under a misc. category with that idea for a melee only as well.

I'll probably add it after more people show interest in it and there's actually a run to submit haha

Glad you guys are interested though, what do you think about unlocking abilities being part of the 100%? It may be a bit long with collecting all the materials to get every skill, but a full game/Good Ending run would probably give enough XP to get every ability for the Guardians

To add to a further point about the different paths, most collectibles do overlap but with the Rocket or Groot choice to sell, there is one different collectible tied to each pick. I also don't know if it would be possible to get everything given the funds allotted to you when you free roam Knowhere.

So I think the choice here is either as close to 100% as a player can get (so like an 87% or whatever on the leaderboard) or it could turn into a full playthrough then half of another or something like that.

That's kinda what I thought. As for the collectibles on Knowhere, you can get a few items with the units from selling Groot/Rocket, one being free as long as you sit through the Lipless karaoke scene

There's some items in a vending machine near the edge of the universe, but I don't actually remember their prices

@InLikeTheRose Can't we make a tool for tracking our total progress in this game. Not gonna be easy as tools like that would require a lot of memorization, routing, and just skips to know if you can get to certain collectables faster.

@ArkhamFan69 While I'm not very knowledgeable about coding, there probably is a tool we can make to track progress in 100% runs (besides a note of everything you collect). Randomisers such as Wind Waker and Kingdom Hearts have tracklists for what items are picked up, so I imagine it'd be a similar way

Also would having to talk to the guardians after getting the guardians collectables count towards 100%?

Yes. The conversations after the Guardians collectibles are needed for the items to appear in the Galactic Compendium
