Achievement Notes.
Dark Angels: Masquerade of Shadows contains a total of 30 achievements, 21 of which are earned as part of the story and 9 which are missable, a single complete playthrough of Dark Angels: Masquerade of Shadows will net you 29 of the 30 achievements and a second very short (5 mins max) playthrough will be required to earn the final achievement.

First off there are no achievements related to difficulty, so start the game selecting a difficulty you are comfortable with. There are also no achievements related to watching the cut scene movies so achievement hunters feel free to skip if you wish, the story is actually half decent as hidden object games go, so consider enjoying the game, it's not that long anyway.

During your first playthrough reply to each of the psychiatrists questions, telling the truth, do not skip any of the mini game puzzles and do not use any hints in the hidden object games and this will net you 28 of the 30 achievements.

One potentially easily missable achievement to be aware of is... Inside the secret hideout at Candy's Café, there is a room with 6 portraits hanging on the walls, you have to click on each and read the descriptions to earn the "True historian" achievement, to ensure you do not miss this I would do it ASAP after you first enter the hideout.

If you do not do it before you leave the hideout at Candy's Café you will not be able to return and there is also a puzzle involving these portraits that opens the way to exit the hideout and I suspect if you do not earn "True historian" before you do this puzzle you will no longer be able to earn it.
This will bring your achievement tally to 29.

For the final achievement, once your first playthrough is complete start up a new game and this time respond with a lie to each of the psychiatrists questions to earn the final achievement "Guerrilla" to 100% the game.

Sadly yhfriesen, there is no trick to it other than persistence, some experience at playing chess/draughts is a help, more than anything it is luck. It took me 3 or 4 attempts, you'll just have to keep trying.
yhfriesen 29 Dec, 2019 @ 7:10pm 
So I CAN NOT get past the "chess game". I'm totally useless!! How do I get passed this?? I have no hope of winning. Please somebody help!!

Mis appologías Drako Tengo que ser honesto, su inglés es mejor que muchos hablantes nativos de inglés aquí en Steam, no pensé o me di cuenta de que no eras de un país de habla inglesa. Mis felicitaciones por sus habilidades lingüísticas.

Mencionaste Fanatical, otro sitio para vigilar es https://www.indiegala.com/ hacen algunos muy buenos paquetes de juegos de objetos ocultos cada par de meses.

Dudo que mi español sea tan bueno como tu inglés, espero no haber hecho el ridículo. Los mejores deseos para usted son su hija y muchas gracias por sus amables palabras una vez más.

Drako 30 Mar, 2019 @ 2:29pm 
anrkyuk thanks again. You have many guides and still you take the time to answer everysingle one. I searched the one game you suggested to us and will play it soon. For now she choose Dreamscapes: The Sandman - Premium Edition. I have some Fanatical Bundles from Cryptic Bundles and those came with 10 games or so each bundle, so we have much to play toghether.
I wish i could give you stars for this guide but is not possible, duno why.
Again thanks for all and we'll be on the look out for more guides from you if we find ourself in troubles finishing another game! See ya!:steamhappy:
Ps, Im from Argentina, sorry if you have difficult reading my reply:steamfacepalm:
