Route through Albion
Light Albion
Begin in Millfields and follow the unlocked map route. Collect coins and search breakable objects and chests; unlock the boss and minigame exits separately.
Dark Albion
After the first world completion, play the dark variants; do not assume identical enemy strength or medal requirements.
The Cloud
The portal level connects portions of other areas. Use the appropriate Cullis exit and check the world map for unplayed branches.
Abilities board and medals
Roll after levels and minigames; earned gold buys abilities on reached tiles. Build a preferred Hero deliberately. Buying all outer upgrades unlocks that Hero’s inner board with stronger bonuses, some lasting one level.
World Champion requires gold in every level. Build upgrades before replaying early stages. Dark Millfields without taking a hit and Dark Mistpeak with an active perk are special achievement goals; check conditions before starting.
All eight areas in Light and Dark Albion
Sixteen medal scores. Gold tracks each player’s run total; reaching a boss alone is insufficient. Replay with an upgraded ranged puppet, weaker AI partners and a high kill multiplier; break scenery. Try the minigame route if narrowly short. Plan special achievements separately from gold medals.
| Level | Light gold | Dark gold | Special Dark objective |
|---|---|---|---|
| Millfields | 30,000 | 60,000 | Finish without taking a hit. |
| Gravestone | 25,000 | 40,000 | Enable Big Heads before entering. |
| Mistpeak | 40,000 | 70,000 | Activate a perk before starting. |
| Hobbe Caves | 45,000 | 65,000 | Finish in first place. |
| Bowerstone | 50,000 | 35,000 | Select Challenging and finish without dying. |
| Aurora | 60,000 | 90,000 | Use at least three power-ups. |
| The Credits | 55,000 | 70,000 | Smash twenty Lionhead developer figures. |
| The Cloud | 65,000 | 90,000 | Grow your puppet using Big Head power-ups until its head pops. |
All twelve puppets and minigame goals
Puppet tiles belong to the abilities board; keep gold for the tile visit. Chicken Bomb without damage and Mine Cart under thirteen seconds are separate achievements. Better When Shared requires four human players; AI does not satisfy it. Journey links are historical, not guaranteed new services.
