Imperial Knights completion checklist

Circle Poison sold Imperial Knights as a three-play game. Recollection lists in Japanese charts run to 130 base scenes plus DLC 131–142. This checklist is the non-graphic version: endings, mechanical flags, and leftover guild work. It will not list Scene 1–130 conditions. Use in-game recollection after a route clear for that, and remember: guild-quest scenes do not auto-unlock.

Pair with the route planner and the walkthrough (Route 1 rooms). If a box needs a boss tell, combat has it.

File hygiene

• Manor save before guild fee
• Silved save before crest decisions
• Basement-mage save before hair color
• Castle-entrance save before Sati / finale
• Cloud or USB copy if you also use a patched folder

Route 1 flags

• Paid the guild fee yourself (dress sale)
• Lysithea recruited (North Road)
• Crest applied (optional, often Alraune loss) or deliberately avoided
• Junior rank (Robust Fort report)
• Tear joined (Silved night cycle)
• Protea herbal medicine collected
• Cardinal down, Lea joined, gear stripped after catacombs
• Mud Poison down, Tear unequipped, Ether Knight ritual done
• Hair: gold or silver (need both across files for album colors)
• Crest cleansed at Silved curse-breaker or kept on purpose
• Svalt demon king down (throat medicine in bag)
• Finale: defeat ending / crest ending / normal ending (tick the one you got)

Route 1 extra jobs (optional, gallery-manual) — full names on guild quests:

• Lighthouse goblin hunt / Salmon Hydra (Ariel in/out changes flags)
• Fighting tournament, three wins (Pan in/out; Pan forces a rest plus a final debuff)
• Family heirloom / 10,000-coin golden elephant (Ellis in/out; do not give up Ushishima’s loan if you want a clear)
• Protea hidden card battle (Lea present)

Route 2 flags

• Borrowed fee
• Hideout: 3+ failed escapes or Butts loss
• Tania facility segments done (spot flags counted if you care)
• Bio Worm dead before delayed breath
• Jupiter Mountain machine / Butts rematch as needed
• Ether Knight ritual on this file (still exists)
• Norakura / basement clear
• Ending ticked for this route

Optional Route 2 jobs: herb gathering (Lea flags), brigand hunt / Halfway (Tear flags), back-mountain ghost scare at night (Ellis+Lea flags). Sera theater and Nugawa inn are gold, not board rows.

Route 3 flags

• Borrowed fee
• Hideout escape or Butts win
• Machant jobs as desired
• Ellis rescued in the mine, later Hertzots hire
• Elf woods / Ariel as desired
• Hertzots casino (optional — tools hub)
• Search party / Sahagin (Lysithea flags)
• Girl’s revenge / bodyguards (Tania flags)
• Sleeping prince / succubus (Lysithea flags)
• Machant Puremite voucher spent at the Machant weapon shop only
• Olim volcano / monster park / prison as the spine asks
• Fortress Eraser
• Ether Knight ritual on this file
• Ending ticked

Hair and crest (cross-file)

• Gold Ether Knight CGs seen
• Silver Ether Knight CGs seen
• Route 1 crest ending seen
• Route 1 normal ending seen
• Route 1 defeat ending seen (optional; still counts as a clear for NG+)

Crest cleanse is a collection quest, not a shop herb. Do not start it in the last dungeon without a prior save.

Cards and board

• Sleep-null on the healer before finale (card list)
• Poison-null or Poison Rings before Spirit Cave
• No unique cards left on temps who are about to exit
• Lysithea hired back after catacombs (party tier)

Album 100% is a gacha grind, not a story gate. Tick it only if you care.

DLC rows (Japanese pack / future Steam SKU only)

Steam 1.00 does not include these. Skip the section on English 1.00.

• Route 1 hard guild job
• Route 2 hard guild job
• Route 3 hard guild job
• Legend quest Son Rescue Request — reward UI may be blank; payout still works
• Extra bind modes noticed in combat (Repair Kit budget updated)
• Gallery 131–142 not assumed unlocked by the finale

See DLC notes and New Game+. If the NPCs do not exist, untick; do not download a fan zip.

Patch / storefront

• Know whether you are on Steam vanilla, Steam + Kagura patch, or DRM-free
• Gallery percent interpreted in that context
• Steam launch languages confirmed (EN/JA/SC)

After three clears

You have done what the slogan asked. Leftover boxes are optional night jobs, casino, and DLC. Nothing here requires shared sessions, nothing here requires a second Windows account, and nothing here requires Warhammer models.

If a box will not tick, you are probably on the wrong route’s map. Return to the planner before you grind North Road for a Machant NPC.
