Recommended Completion Route

A practical order for moving from first clear to full cleanup.

Finish the main route first. Clear the core story or standard path before deep cleanup.
Unlock key movement and systems. Open the tools, abilities, maps or shortcuts that make later routes easier.
Clean major collectibles by area. Work through regions one by one instead of hopping randomly.
Handle bosses and challenge content separately. Treat difficult fights and late-game challenges as focused guide targets.
Save 100% cleanup for last. Finish optional checklists once the whole map or game structure is available.
