This guide assumes that you have read the Any% guide. It has most of the tips for individual levels, this guide will only have tips for a 100% playthrough.

You start by doing a normal Any% playthrough but because the mysterious treasures are randomized you want to try and get as many as you can in the first playthrough. You also want to get as much HQ as possible and do every Bonelich. You need to get a certain amount of HQ to get Legendary Pirate Champion but you don't necesarrily need to get Unpuzzleable on every level. Remember to pick up items like the worm straw and the bullets in Final Battle. Throughout the run you also want to get money where convinient for Maddy. You only need a few thousand total so don't worry about it too much or go too much out of the way like destroying pots and rocks. Once you unlock Maddy (the earlier the better) you want to send him in between every level (even once you get the Hi-Speed Ship). You do not need to get the rarity radar and treasure radar so you should avoid those spots on the map when sending out Maddy.

Some of the best spots for money is: In flute to the left of the coconut trees in the first playthrough, the big rock in Flute, Johnny and the lever in Crystal Key, the base of the hammer Anciet Wyrm, the controls and rose poster in Operation: Take Back!, while waiting for cycles next to the key pot in Bell Tower of Requiem in the second playthrough, skeleton in Mad Science (time loss), back mast The Great Chase (time loss), breaking gems while waiting for cycles in Barbaros' land, and to the far left in Final Battle. Whenever money appears just go ahead and collect it, especially if it is a gold coin. You should also get lots of money from failed mysterious treasures. Don't be afraid to buy some platinum tickets, this run is long and brutal so some safety measures are likely to save time if you find yourself dying every once in awhile, but keep in mind that using tickets makes you lose Hq so don't revive on a max Hq run on a level, although if it is your first playthrough in many levels you can do that the second time.

If you want to know more details about the locations of things in the game I made a seperate guide and the GameFAQs is a good resource https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/wii/938681-zack-and-wiki-quest-for-barbaros-treasure/faqs/50741

In the second run you need to get all of the secret treasures. It doesn't matter what treasures you get first but you want to get all of the items that make maddy cheaper and find more treasure first. You should get the special maddy items in this order: Treasure Jewel ......................... From Bonelich in Flute of the Growlin' Goblins Discount card .......................... Frome Bonelich in The Fountain Guardian Rare Jewel ................................. From Keeper of the Ice for carrying the goon across the level Discount card ++ ................... From Mirror, Mirror for creating your own 6 part sound puzzle Discount card + ...................... From Relics of the Past for doing a perfect Tile Puzzle Hi-Speed Ship ......................... From King of the Jungle for Itemizing King Growl

After you finish the first run do Keeper of the Ice and getting all of those chests for the rare jewel. Then Got to Mirror Mirror and Do all of those chests for the Discount card ++. Then do all of the Relics of the Past chests for the Discount card +. If you forgot to get the first wiki upgrade you need to do that first. After that do the fast King of the Jungle to get the Hi-Speed ship so Maddy respawns faster. Finally you can do the rest of the levels in any order. After you get all of the Secret Treasures just send out Maddy to get the remaining items until you get Legendary Pirate Champion; THIS WILL TAKE AWHILE.

You should repeatedly go to the red square until you have all of the discount tickets. Then go to the Yellow Square until you get every item or you are running low on money. Go to the Blue square if you know you are only missing a few high ranked items or you are really poor. You also need to get every x on the map except for the ones with the treasure tracker and rarity radar (green Xs on the map)

Levels

Keeper of the Ice: THIS LEVEL HASN'T BEEN OPTIMIZED Don't worry about getting Max HQ on this level the first playthrough because you need to shake trees the second time. When going for max HQ remember to get Johnny before you kill Jeeves. Do the Level Normally at first. After you carry the goon totem to the southeast area and shovel the snow pick up the goon and head to the place where you started to the west. Along the way shake every tree. After you get the chest for carrying that goon shake the rest of the trees on your way to the chest under the waterfall in the top right corner, then kill Jeeves and complete the level.

Mirror, Mirror: The first treasure is for picking up the phone before you are called for 10 seconds; Do this right before Johnny's tutorial. The next treasure is for picking up the phone as fast as possible. I think you can do this in any of the 3 times you pick up the phone but if you are worried about it you might want to reset until you get it on the first try. The last treasure is at the very end after you defeat the doppelganger.

Relics of the Past: This level is very similar to a normal run. Just remember to go up and down each lava platform an extra time, do the block puzzle perfect and after you defeat the Orion Walkers and exorcise the ghost go back and click on the door they came out of.

Pit of Trajedy: Bring the totem head up and do that one right away, then break every pot and rock. Then just play the level normally.

Flute of the Growlin' Goblins: After you get the coconut go back and forth on the Gondola 3 times, then play the level normally; grab that secret treasure after completing the level to avoid waiting for cycles. After you make the Goblins fall and then itemize them and put them in the soup, then grab the flute and play the song backwards before finishing the level.

Three Colossi: Play the level normally except right after you crank for the totem head crank that hand right back up

The Fountain Guardian: When getting max Hq after killing the fish drop an additional bomb down the slide to kill the Goblin, then itemize the goblin and put a worm on the hook for even more Hq. It's probably worth it to reset until the worm is in either of the 2 rocks to the right of where you start. Do the level the fast way but go down the slide to get to the frog. Then before you kill the fish drop 5 worms into the water. Later in the level before you plug the water again climb up the vine and go down the slide, then climb back up and jump in the pit. Then finish the level normally.

King of the Jungle: This one requires 2 runs. In the first one kill King Growl the fast way and get the first 2 chests, then kill him the slow way and flip the batbrella while you are falling multiple times. Other than that play the level normally.

The Crystal Key: This one is pretty simple, just play the level normally and whenever it is convenient do the two keyholes on the left. The top one with an ice bar and the bottom one with a key that is Sky blue, Green, Dark Blue from top to bottom. Do the plain rod hole after finishing the level because there will be an extra rod from melting the key. If you zoom out you can see Johnny at the top of the ice spike in the middle, click him repeatedly to get some coins and some HQ.

Icicle of Prosperity: For this level you want to get max Hq when making the Icicle fall on the chest so in that run talk to johnny by clicking on the empty hole. This one also requires two runs, one where you play the level normally except you save the 39-59 damage for punching it and one where you do it by making the chandelier fall down. In either run you need to use the batbrella to press the button behind the crank wheel with the centipede.

Frost Breath: During any of the phases stand in front of each mirror stand for awhile. Otherwise play the level normally except after you get Wiki ring the bell near the thing that shoots the laser.

Bridge of Doom: Play the level normally except ring Wiki in the area surrounded by rocks on the bottom level.

Lake of Fire: Play the level normally except after you dump the water take the totem from the bottom of the steps down to the totem hole underneath the black rock to the right of the chest. find Johnny for some extra Hq

Dragon Scales: For getting max Hq on this level it is ESSENTIAL that you get both tennis's first try. Play the level normally except after you do the lever in the dragon body go back and forth in the body until the chest appears the chest trigger is halfway through the lower body but you don't need to walk that far every time, just on the last one. AFTER you hit the treasure chest with the racket hit another ball to the right where you can see Johnny balancing.

Ancient Wyrm: For this level you just need to remember to eat some fire when most convinent (you don't need to eat every one but you want to do them early rather than later) and to do the water on the bottom level before placing the goon on the second hammer button and do the final button before the final water.

Operation: Take Back: Play the level normally except before you put a frog bomb onto the fan chase the frog to the right 3 times. Turn the engine off right after the goon turns it back on the first time and right before you steal the map (the goon teleports to the Barracks when you pull the lever).

Bell tower of Requiem: Play the level normally except ring the bell two extra times and switch the gear machine back to the left.

The Painted Secret: Play the level normally except right after making the chest piece in the tree fall down poke the man in the eyes, nose, and toupe. At the end of the level before putting all of the chest pieces in the floor put them on the pedestals where the ghost pirate paintings used to sit

Mad Science: Play the level normally except when you get the centi-saw saw down the tree as fast as you can. Also before you put the bat-brella into the science machine take it to the shower, open it, and pull the lever.

Return of the Legend: Play the level normally except when you are falling before you grab the bat-brella click on 6 pots.

The Great Chase: This is another level that requires two playthroughs, because of the heavy RNG this level's time can vary wildly. In the first playthrough play through the level normally. If you need more HQ you can fish and drop a tuna bomb in the chute. The second time wait for Hexaleg to reach the ship when you would normally shoot her tentacles, during this time you can fish to get some more tuna and transform them. The goons can put them in the chute for you but you need to do the last one.

Barbaros' land: When trying for max Hq on this level do your best in the sword fights and try to let the goons see you while disguising with the metal pots. Play the level normally except sneak past the goon near the prison so you can drop the crown on him at the end, it needs to be pretty on the spot so take your time and don't rush it; if you mess it up you need to do the whole level again, I would use the right hole to drop it because you have a bigger window. You also need to make sure you do the gondola fast so that the crown falls down to the bottom level. You need to kill the goon patrolling in the top right on the thin part of the wall and kill the bottom goon with the large rock. For Hq let the goons see you while using the pot to hide before you kill them.

Final Battle: You only need to play this level once so try not to get hit and catch everything for max Hq and reset if you don't get the mysterious treasure right away. To pick up the bullet don't transform one goon until he is moving a bullet.
