The Nameless: Walkthrough + Achievement Guide

Once you know what to do, 30 minutes is a very generous amount of time, especially since you can play on Easy. My current record is Just shy of 8 minutes. Go into the game knowing where to go and exactly what you need. You can grab the flare gun to make your life a little easier, but it isn’t necessary at all. The only puzzle that can’t be memorized is the Piano Puzzle, as the solution is random each run.

As far as I’m aware, there’s only one gun in the game and it’s the flare gun. You grab this in the room past the helm (where you end the game for the Good Ending). Simply complete the game without ever grabbing it. Easily done on Easy and during your speedrun attempt.

To achieve the Good Ending, you need to collect the purple hexagon, slot it into the altar in the engine room, and drive the ship to safety. For the Bad Ending, you need at least 3 bottles of whiskey, 3 flares, and the flare gun. Once you arrive in the engine room, don’t slot the purple hexagon. Instead, unlock the door to leave, then turn around and kill the 3 enemies that spawn. One of them will drop the Captain’s Key. Enter his room, grab the Radio Parts, and repair the radio in the room you grab the flare gun from. After spawning on the island, grab the body from in front of the rowboat and enter the lighthouse. To the right will be a lantern barely lighting up a trap door you can go down. Grab the torch and wade into the water down the hall to end the game.

I’m unsure what the exact requirements are for an A-Rank and currently playing around with results. I suggest pairing this with your speedrun and no gun achievements. Simply fly through the game only grabbing the items you need. Don’t ever save or heal, as they have a big effect on your rank.

• After waking up, open your footlocker and grab the flashlight. Go downstairs, exit the house and go right to the lighthouse. Talk to John at the top.
• Exit the lighthouse, go down to the dock and ride the boat.
• After boarding the ship, enter the first door to your left.
• Go downstairs, hook an immediate right and enter the crew quarters (door to the right of the Utility Room. Complete the puzzle for the Bronze Key.

• Head back upstairs. Continue past the Captains Room straight ahead and use the bronze key on the blue-ish door at the end of the hall. Go inside and grab the fuse on the crate to the right.
• Run back downstairs and enter the utility room (door next to the crew quarters). Insert the fuse.
• Go back and climb the ladder at the top of the main staircase. Use the bronze key on the door at the end to access the deck, then enter the door across and to the left. Look immediately to your right to find a dumbwaiter that will take you up to the kitchen. Inside is the Silver Key.
• Exit the kitchen through the front door and head downstairs. Pass the hand reader and enter the door at the far end of the hall. Go right and use the Silver Key on the 3rd door on the right side. Open the drawer under the bed and memorize the first letter of each word on the note. This is the solution for the Piano Puzzle.
• Go back down to the piano room and play the correct keys (these are random each playthrough). Open the cabinet to the right of the piano to find the Chemical.
• Head back to the kitchen and use the Chemical on the dead body to sever his hand. Make sure you pick it up! Use that on the electronic reader in the lower hallway near the Utility and Crew Rooms. Inside is the Gold Key.
• Exit this room and go right. Enter the door at the end again. Loop around the right side to the left and use the Gold Key on the right door, the left door, and finally the middle door. Enter the middle door. Inside will be a Valve Handle.
• Exit the room and go right to use the Valve. Climb down the ladder at the far end and turn the last valve to the right.
• Go back up the ladder, then head down the ladder near the door we entered the area from. Follow the linear path to a boiler room.
• Pick up the purple hexagon and exit through the far door. Insert it into the obelisk in the center of the room, and/or kill all the enemies in the room. One of them will drop the Captain’s Key.
• Head upstairs and enter the Captain’s Room. in his closet will be Radio Parts.
• Head back up the ladder at the top of the staircase and head back outside. At the top, go right and up the staircase here. Enter the door on your left.

ENDING CHOICES START HERE

• Interact with the telegraph (the dial that controls a ships speed) for the Good Ending.
• Or, enter the room where the flare gun is and repair the radio, then use it. After spawning back on the island, grab the coffin near the dock and bring it to the lighthouse. To your right will be a lantern barely illuminating a trap door. Climb down and grab the torch off the wall for light. Push forward into the water, and offer the body for the Bad Ending.
