First i am a native german speaker, so i am sorry for any bad english or misspelling.

Further i had my game in german, so maybe names or quest are named differently, hope you still get the point what i want to say...

To who ever contributed to this Google Doc [docs.google.com], Thank you so much! Without this i would have gone crazy! (Maybe i am already...🤔)

Further thank you to the following steam users:

• red-sheron
  
• D-Piddy96
  
• Eruaph

Also Thank you to everyone that gave me a Steam Award. 🙂👍
(Sadly Steam doesn't really tell me from who the Awards come from... 😥)
The persons i know that gave me an Award:

• Hugh Manatee

This helped me with my run:

• Play the full game at least once, so you get into the flow of the game
  
• This guide was done for a fresh game at Version 1.4 with Espectro DLC and new item pack, later changes may make this guide obsolete, save games from old versions may not work
  
• Play on EASY since this game will take a while and you don't want make it any harder as it already is
  
• Never overwrite a save file, always make a new local save. You will f*ck up, just as i did and want to reload an earlier save
  
• Play as EMMA, you get the sword in the stone loot quest much easier, so you don't miss it early in the game
  
• Never have your full roster of henchmen, always kill with your genius obsolete characters, if they are not needed for quests
  
• skip the tutorial

• You can miss Henchmen if you all ready have 5 henchmen
  
• Select your Genius and right click on the henchmen you want to kill
  
• click "Yes" on the dialog

• get Clara
  
• get the terracotta army
  
• Carl is not needed for the henchmen achievement

• Olga is needed for the broken time machine so don't kill her too early

Note: Update Version 1.7.0 states:
Acquiring the Prometheus Flame Loot Item no longer blocks unlocking the Hubbard Slice Loot Item.
This means following steps should have become obsolete:

• unlock Flame of Prometheus by setting something on fire (Flame walls count it seems)
  
• DON'T DO THE QUEST!
  
• Progess until you get the Hubbard slice Quest
  
• do the Hubbard slice quest
  
• do the Flame of Prometheus Quest

• Agent X is needed for the early Declaration of independence
  
• Olga is needed for Sword in the Stone (Not needed if you play Emma)
  
• Wrecking Bolas Death is needed for King Solomon's Mines
  
• Agent X needs to be dead for Ray Gun Dispenser

Once Loot is lost it does not come back.
Strategies to avoid this:

• Many Loot is not required to be placed, so just don't place them and they can't be stolen
  
• Having a single loot room protected by your genius and a Guard table nearby can help keeping the Loot save and you have a single point to look out for your loot

He is not needed. In this guide a new 1.4 game was started with him and the new item pack, but it is not necessary

No, only the regular 32 loot items count

Note: I just realize that i played the german version and don't have all english names for the quest, so i am sorry, i may add them later by names, but i think you get the idea by these meta names

The Quest order is mostly changeable as long as you don't progess the main story, but look for certain dependencies, like never do the flame before the ice loot quest
