By Genghis Pawn and 2 collaborators

Huge spoilers ahead, obviously.
"Master Sleuth" still looks to be buggy... :(

UNRESOLVED: Master Sleuth

As of the long-awaited February 27, 2023 update, all individual Breakthroughs are unlockable (including jjaH and Icebox, which had been bugged). However, so far nobody has reported seeing "Master Sleuth" unlock for getting all Breakthroughs.

How to use this Guide

Choose your own degree of spoilers!

Each section of the Guide discusses one "World" in the game (a block of levels). Inside each section is a Table. The columns in the table contain the following Information, in this order:

The name of a level where you can unlock a Breakthrough.

(Behind Spoiler Tag)
The name+graphic of the Breakthrough on that level.

(Behind Spoiler Tag)
A screenshot of the solution.
Click the image to enlarge.
Sometimes a caption on the screenshot clarifies what to do to get the achievement.

The further "to the right" in the table you go, the more spoilers you get. If you want to get a small hint and mostly solve the Breakthrough on your own, then limit how much information you read.

Sometimes the path in the screenshot involved backtracking, so you may need to do a little work to figure out what to do. We leave that to you. (That's fair, right?) Also: we're making no effort to optimize anything here -- there may be quicker paths.

Looking for the Audio Clues?

If you check out the descriptions of the achievements on Steam, some of the breakthroughs have audio clues associated with them. The original URLs for the audio clues are currently dead, but in the Discussion Boards we've posted links to the files on DropBox, if you want to check them out.

Also, I actually wanted to thank for this guide. It is indispensable. It's a tremendous piece of work. Huge! You are awesome guys.

Hi :)
Finally I'm here, 37/41.

Wanna ask.. Why did u said that I can get 92% (38/41) if 2 Breakthrough Achievements are broken and cannot be unlocked? So Achievment for every Breakthrough can't be unlocked too.
Actually "the final set of levels cannot be accessed legitimately, which means in turn that (c) the achievement for getting all other achievements cannot be unlocked"..

So.. It seems like 37/41 is maximum for now?

veneno 4 Dec, 2022 @ 1:41pm

Sad to hear that.
Starting this game I was sincerely hoping for a "perfect game"

Genghis Pawn [author] 4 Dec, 2022 @ 12:37pm

"Almost All," exactly as described in this Guide and in our other Guide. 2 Breakthrough Achievements are broken and cannot be unlocked, which means (a) the ahievement for getting all breakthroughs cannot be unlocked, and (b) the final set of levels cannot be accessed legitimately, which means in turn that (c) the achievement for getting all other achievements cannot be unlocked. If you get really creative you can get 92% (38/41) but for most folks it will be capped at 90% (37/41).

veneno 4 Dec, 2022 @ 12:31pm

Hi. Is it possibly to get all (or almost all) achs today?
