Planning Ahead

Before starting the full game, go to Lucky Dip within the Extras menu repeatedly Lucky Dip. Also you may want to adjust several game settings, as there are achievements for completing the game with the Autosave option turned off Auto-Saviour, and for getting either the best or worst ending with tendency hints turned off Hardcore. There are 3 different endings, based on the decisions you make during the game. To get the worst ending, make sure you select all options in the walkthrough that involve losing skulls. To get the best ending, avoid all of these options. To get the normal ending, select some but avoid others.
