To achieve a 100% completion rating on the ship in Obsidian Knight: Roguelike RPG, you must fully resolve every deck before transitioning to the next level. Completion requires uncovering all map fog, eliminating every enemy encounter, and breaking or opening every container before entering the final boss arena.

Core Requirements for Full Deck Clearance

The ship calculates total exploration score using three specific metrics:

  • Map Fog Illumination: Revealing every square tile on the deck map, including waterlogged alcoves and hidden rooms.
  • Mob Kill Percentage: Eliminating all standard patrolling enemies, elite officers, and proximity-triggered ambush waves.
  • Interactive Container Count: Opening all standard chests, unlocking locked staterooms, and destroying every supply barrel.

Advancing through stairs, ladders, or trapdoors before clearing a floor often triggers one-way drop-downs or locked gates that prevent backtracking. Treat each deck as an isolated circuit: do not touch transition points until your mini-map confirms the current sector contains no unsearched dead ends or dark patches.

Hidden Cabins and Secret Room Locations

Several rooms appear as solid walls on the mini-map until you strike the partition or approach the threshold directly. Missing these compartments prevents your score from capping out.

Step-by-Step Deck Sweep Routine

Follow this execution order on each level of the ship to guarantee full clearance:

  1. Bait Corridors Safely: Avoid rushing directly into bunkrooms. Draw vanguard enemies back into wider hallways to avoid being cornered by shielded pirates or spectral crewmen.
  2. Defeat Elite Officers First: Prioritize ship officers and elite brawlers. Wait out their charged attack animations before countering, and immediately pick up dropped keys needed for locked cabins.
  3. Engage Deck Mechanisms: Search dead ends for ship wheels, chain winches, or pulleys. Activating these devices lowers gangplanks, drains flooded bilge compartments, and opens barred gates to isolated chests.
  4. Disarm and Cross Traps: Watch for discolored floor grates and uneven floorboards that trigger dart volleys or floor spikes. Dash across these sections between trigger cycles to preserve health.
  5. Sweep Room Centers and Perimeters: Walk along outer walls to reveal map edges, then cross into the exact center of every cabin to trigger latent ambush spawns.
  6. Break All Small Containers: Destroy all minor barrels near cannon ports and corners, as they count toward the total interactive container quota alongside standard chests.
  7. Verify the Mini-Map Before Transitioning: Inspect your map for grayed-out sections or unexplored doors. Only interact with the ladder or staircase to the next level once the current floor is fully illuminated.

Oversights That Prevent a 100% Rating

Runs that finish between 95% and 98% typically miss specific hidden triggers:

  • Unbroken Cannon Barrels: Minor barrels near cannon bays contribute to the container count. Do not ignore them in favor of large treasure chests.
  • Center-Room Ambush Triggers: Certain spectral enemies do not spawn if you only hug the perimeter of a cabin. Walk through the center of every room to ensure all waves emerge.
  • Flooded Bilge Edges: Submerged sections in the lower hull do not clear their fog of war until your character physically steps into the deep water.
  • Entering the Boss Room Prematurely: Triggering the final encounter can lock the arena and end the stage immediately. Complete all upper and lower deck objectives before engaging the final boss.
