100% Routing Considerations

The following outlines what all must be done in Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp beyond the minimum required for an Any% run in order to complete the game 100%.

# Location Notes and Additional Clues

Every location has notes to pick up that don't result in physical clues in your clue inventory. None of them are required for the Any% route, but they are all required for 100%. Additionally, some locations require picking up clues that are not required for the Any% route but are required for 100%.

The treehouse must be noted along the bridge in the forest.

The following must be noted inside the treehouse:

Burle must be presented with the Bog Dog obtained from Harper.

Folder must be presented with the profile of Echo and the following clues:

- The gloves
- The flippers

Any% Routing Considerations

For Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp, in order for the game to allow you to complete it, you must go through all four conversation topics with every character, complete every character's challenge, and find all the clues necessary to complete the final presentation to Officer James. The following outlines the minimum requirements to be able to complete all of the above.

# Conversation topics

The first two conversation topics — along with being able to talk to suspects in the first place — are unlocked by inspecting the outline of the body at the crime scene.

The third conversation topic requires deducing that the culprit used a Boggy costume, which requires the following to be performed:

- Obtain the photo of "Boggy" from Burle, acquired through performing the challenge for Burle (see next section)
- Find the costume design in the café trash can

The fourth conversation topic requires deducing that Richard Remington was part of a secret hunting society, which requires the following:

- Obtain the keys to the office, which happens automatically after unlocking the third conversation topic above
- Obtain the pitchfork in the office
- Inspect the shotgun in the office
- Reassemble the hunting photo in the office

# Challenges

Burle's challenge is unlocked after ruminating on Van de Peer's claim of his absence last night, which requires performing the first two conversation topics with Van de Peer and introducing yourself to Burle.

Van der Peer's challenge is unlocked after deducing he only recently got permission to film in the swamp, which requires asking Burle about his job and introducing yourself to Van de Peer.

Agent Folder's challenge is unlocked after deducing the lock pick found at the crime scene might be his, which requires obtaining the lock pick from the crime scene (reed 3) and asking Folder about last night.

Harper's challenge is unlocked after deducing that Remington left the café feeling ill after Harper sold him a Bog Dog, which requires asking Burle about last night and asking Harper about his job.

Lady Weybridge's challenge is unlocked after deducing she was in the swamp when the explorer discovered the creature, which requires introducing yourself to Harper, obtaining the explorer's journal from the museum, then asking Weybridge about her "job" and presenting the journal to Weybridge.

Sally's challenge is unlocked after deducing her leggings are covered in the same slime as the murder weapon, which requires obtaining the pitchfork from the crime scene, asking Sally about last night (which acquires the leggings), then using Weybridge's chemistry set to analyze both the pitchfork and Sally's leggings (which requires asking Weybridge about her "job").

Echo's challenge is unlocked after ruminating on his spending more time in his tent than holding his protest sign, which requires presenting Echo's profile to Sally (which requires introducing yourself to Echo first) and asking Echo about his "job".

# Necessary clues

Most of the clues necessary to complete the final presentation to Officer James are acquired by virtue of performing actions required to unlock conversations and challenges per the above, with one exception: the Boggy costume head must be collected from the gift shop wagon.

All the above accounts for the minimum required to complete the game.
