Beyond Good and Evil remains a standout action-adventure game that seamlessly blends photographic investigation, stealth, vehicle combat, and platforming. To reach total completion, players must navigate the planet Hillys while uncovering deep political conspiracies and cataloging alien wildlife. Following a structured roadmap ensures you never miss critical collectibles, upgrade items, or story milestones along your journey.
Mastering Early Objectives and Resource Management
Your journey begins at the Lighthouse, where gathering basic funds and taking your first animal photographs sets up your inventory. Acquiring the camera unlocks primary side activities that award pearls, the central currency used for essential hovercraft upgrades.
Visiting Mammago Garage as early as possible allows you to purchase necessary hovercraft engines and jump kits. Upgrading your craft early opens up new waterways, race tracks, and hidden caverns required for full game progression.
Infiltrating Key Facilities and Enemy Strongholds
Major story chapters require infiltrating heavily guarded locations such as the Nutripils Factory and the Slaughterhouse. Using stealth and strategic distraction mechanics allows Jade and her companions to bypass deadly Alpha Section guards cleanly.
Coordinating combat and puzzle mechanics with allies like Pey'j and Double H is crucial for disabling security barriers and defeat bosses. Always search secondary rooms inside these facilities to claim hidden pearls and complete local animal photo logs before exiting.
Collecting Pearls and Photographic Completion
Achieving total progression requires collecting all available pearls scattered across Hillys, including those earned from racing and minigames. Purchasing the Pearl Detector from Ming-Tzu's shop in the Pedestrian District makes tracking these items significantly easier.
Documenting every living species on the planet completes your photo rolls, granting substantial monetary rewards and bonus pearls. Checking nighttime habitats, deep caves, and boss encounters ensures no rare creatures are permanently overlooked.
Preparing for the Final Lunar Mission
Before launching the Beluga aircraft to the moon for the final showdown, ensure all optional Alpha Section quarters and side quests are resolved. Stock up on health restoratives and boost items to prepare for consecutive high-difficulty combat phases.
Navigating the final lunar base tests all the stealth and combat skills developed throughout the adventure. Completing these final objectives brings Jade's investigative journey to its ultimate conclusion while securing 100 percent game completion.
