Kin and Conquest Progress Checklist Guide

Kin and Conquest progress checklist for floors, Normal and harder modes, weapon unlocks, and guardians with an interactive tracker.

Progress checklist

Track floors, difficulties, and weapon unlocks locally in your browser.

Progress is saved on this device.

Long incremental sessions make it easy to forget which Kin and Conquest floors you cleared on Normal, which you repeated on harder settings, and which of the six weapons you unlocked for each tier. The progress checklist page combines this guide text with an interactive checklist widget you tick while playing—floor rows, difficulty columns, weapon unlock markers, and optional challenge notes.

Use it alongside floor guides, the blessing picker, and the tools hub. Official progression still lives in your Steam or itch.io save; this tracker is a fan-side memory aid only.

Why track progress manually

Kin and Conquest loops span multiple days: guardian attempts, recipe farming, kill-count challenges, blessing choices, and descent to new layers. Without notes, players repeat work—grinding a harder floor already cleared, or descending without crafting the local weapon because they forgot a recipe step.

Steam lists 36 achievements, which helps for account-wide goals, but achievements do not replace a floor-granular view (e.g., “Floor 2 Normal guardian done, harder not started, Staff recipe pending”). The checklist bridges that gap until you internalize the mountain layout.

Checklist sections explained

Floors and difficulties

Each major floor row should track at minimum:

  • Visited — you entered the floor at least once.
  • Normal guardian cleared — baseline completion per floors overview.
  • Harder cleared — optional mastery repeat with tighter margins.
  • Descended safely — you moved to the next layer with intentional prep, not accident.

Demo history included partially accessible floors in preview builds; on release, mark only floors with actual content to avoid chasing empty challenge lists noted in early feedback.

Weapon unlocks

Six weapons unlock gradually across the campaign. For each floor tier, note:

  • Recipe discovered — you know required components.
  • Weapon crafted — you equip the floor-appropriate option.
  • Upgrade tier — major incremental spikes funded.

Books and Staffs joined the weapon roster in mid-demo updates—give them separate checklist lines when those floors unlock.

Challenges and optional goals

Optional kill X enemies challenges extend sessions. Track them separately from guardian clears so they do not block perceived progression. Mark complete only when the game credits the challenge—avoid false positives from partial farms.

Blessing and build notes

Optional text fields (if the widget supports notes) capture blessing themes—“economy + offense,” “defense stacked before Floor 3 guardian”—so you remember why a run worked when revisiting blessing picker plans.

Using the interactive widget

On the progress checklist page, the widget renders the structure above as clickable rows. Typical workflow:

  1. Session start — open the page beside the game; confirm current floor and difficulty.
  2. After guardian — tick Normal or harder guardian boxes; note loot or recipe unlocks.
  3. After crafting — mark weapon checkbox for that floor tier.
  4. Before descent — verify unchecked prerequisites (weapon crafted, blessing gap filled via picker).
  5. Session end — leave boxes checked; widget state persists locally in browser storage unless cleared.

If scripts fail to load, copy the markdown section headers into any notes app—the guide still functions as a printable template.

Suggested milestone order

Align checklist order with walkthrough routing:

  1. Floor 1 Normal guardian and basic weapon upgrades.
  2. Floor 2 Normal with movement scheme locked (controls).
  3. Mid floors with Books/Staffs recipes when introduced.
  4. Harder repeats on floors where Normal feels comfortable.
  5. Challenge sweeps if achievements or completionism matter.
  6. Deep floors leading toward Evil Geomancer milestones.

Skipping ahead on the checklist without in-game capability wastes mental bandwidth—honest ticks only.

Multiplayer and community context

Kin and Conquest is single-player incremental action per store listings. Checklist sharing happens outside the game—screenshot your widget state for Discord or QQ 943061070 groups listed on Steam if you want feedback on whether to descend.

Limitations

  • No import from save files.
  • No automatic sync between devices.
  • Patch-added floors require manual row additions on the wiki when content updates publish.

Despite limits, a honest checklist prevents incremental amnesia—the silent killer of mountain runs. Mark clears as you earn them, and the path to the Evil Geomancer stays visible even after a week away from the fox.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for Kin and Conquest players.

What does the Kin and Conquest progress checklist track?

Floor visits, Normal and harder guardian clears, weapon recipe and craft milestones, optional kill challenges, and notes tying into blessing plans across incremental sessions.

Is the progress checklist interactive?

Yes. An interactive widget on the same page lets you tick boxes locally while playing. This guide explains each section the widget mirrors.

Does the checklist sync with Steam achievements?

No. Steam tracks its own 36 achievements. The wiki checklist is a finer-grained fan tool for floor and weapon memory.

When should I update the checklist?

At session start and after major events—guardian kills, weapon crafts, difficulty toggles, and safe descents to new floors.

How does the checklist help with harder difficulties?

Separate Normal and harder ticks show which tiers you mastered versus merely visited, preventing premature harder attempts without Normal gear.

Where do I plan blessings while using the checklist?

Open the [blessing picker](/tools/blessing-picker/) when leveling; use checklist notes to remember which categories you still need on your current floor.
