Introduction:
Welcome to Persian Nights 2: Moonlight Veil, another game in the Artifex Mundi catalogue. If you're unfamiliar with their games, they're old school point and click adventure games with a heavy emphasis on puzzles and hidden object scenes. The achievements in this game are pretty standard compared to all their recent entries, with a few exceptions you only have to complete five HOPs without hints, there is a unique highly missable achievement, and a ton of story achievements for whatever reason. Everything else is par for the course (story stuff, collectibles, and miscellaneous achievements), including the usual missables. Let's get started.

Abbreviated Walkthrough:
As with all Artifex Mundi games, there are collectibles. There is one traditional type: rose-tinted moons (they phase in and out) that just look like red circles. Note, however, that there is another highly missable achievement for using all dialogue windows. While not a traditional collectible, there are multiple you need to do and none show up during story progression. Like most Artifex Mundi games, there are multiple points of no return. As a result, I highly recommend keeping a collectible guide open while you play through the game (a great one can be found in Celestial Collection (100G) for the moons, and use the one in Stay a While and Listen (20G) for the dialogue windows). I highly recommend grabbing each collectible as soon as you reach that scene.

Aside from the missable collectible achievements, there are a number of miscellaneous achievements that are also missable, so you should be aware of them and, ideally, take care of them as soon as possible so you don't have to worry about them for the remainder of your playthrough. Only one is game-spanning:
 The rest are one-off achievements:
 The exception in this game are the HOPs. As noted in the intro, there isn't an achievement for completing all HOPs without hints this time around. There is one achievement for completing five in a row without hints though, so you will only have to do five. Once you unlock Skilled Searcher (100G), feel free to use hints during HOPs whenever you want.

The only game-spanning achievement just requires you to not press dpad-up.png during minigames to skip them. Refer to the walkthrough in Soul of The Lost (20G) if you need any help with minigames; you can just mash button-a.png during HOPs if you're playing on Casual. As for the one-off ones, you should be able to knock out all of those within the first 15 or so minutes of the game, allowing you to play through the rest of the game without worrying about missing any achievements (aside from collectibles). If you have any concerns about completing a minigame quick enough, you can make use of the walkthrough to ensure you have the solutions to those puzzles handy for when you start each one. As for the two HOP ones, there is a simple and guaranteed method to use to get both of those, described in Flawless Aim (20G).

Once you complete the game, you should be done with this completion.

Conclusion:
This game is pretty standard as far as Artifex Mundi games go. This is the only one I've seen that makes you seek out dialogue windows, which is annoying and easy to miss. Other than  that, the achievements in this one are very easy and the completion will only take you a few hours. Hope you enjoyed, and congratulations on another completion.

  • Ask about any subject in a dialogue window once.

    *MISSABLE*

    Refer to Stay a While and Listen (20G) for more information.
  • Exhaust all options in dialogue windows throughout the game.

    *MISSABLE*

    This achievement is highly missable, because none of the dialogue windows even pop up as part of story progression, so if you don't make a conscious effort for this achievement, you likely won't even realize that there are dialogue windows in the game at all. Thankfully, there are only four characters you need to talk to for this achievement, but unfortunately there is one per act, so they span almost the entire game.

    With the many points of no return in this game, I highly recommend keeping THIS GUIDE handy so you don't forget about this achievement. It's especially easy to miss because it's something that hasn't been in an Artifex Mundi game before or since.

    Note that if you do miss any of these, they do carry over to a new playthrough. This means that if you, for example, miss the conversation with the first person, you can start a new game, get to that point, talk to her, and unlock the achievement straight away.
  • Finish a Hidden Object Puzzle with less than 4 mistakes.

    *MISSABLE*

    As the description says, you'll need to complete any HOP in tha game without making more than four mistakes. While you could do this the legitimate way (take your time to find every object, ensuring you don't make any mistakes), there is an exploit you can take advantage of to make this much easier.

    When you reach an HOP, pause and quit to the main menu to save your game right before you start it. Now, play the HOP, making as many mistakes as you want, until you find all but one objects, making a note of where every object is. Locate the final object but don't click on it. Instead, press the guide button and force close the game app (do NOT quit to the main menu, as this will save your game). Relaunch the game app, continue your game, and you'll be back at your save before you started the HOP. Now that you know where all of the objects are, carefully go through the HOP to find them all, easily doing it without making mistakes. If you make too many mistakes, you can always repeat the process of force closing the game app to try again.
  • Finish any Hidden Object Puzzle in less than 1 minute.

    *MISSABLE*

    As the description says, you need to complete any HOP in under 60 seconds. Because you're (presumably) playing on Casual difficulty, you have the ability to mash button-a.png during all HOPs to find objects without any penalty. As a result, there is a pretty good chance you will unlock this naturally while using that method.

    However, if you'd like to guarantee this achievement, you can actually use the exact same exploit described in Flawless Aim (20G) - find all objects but don't click on the last one, force close the game app, relaunch it, and now that you know where all of the objects are, you should be able to quickly click them all in under 60 seconds.
  • Find 3 Hidden Objects within 3 seconds.

    *MISSABLE*

    If you're playing on Casual difficulty and mashing button-a.png to get through HOPs quickly, this will assuredly unlock naturally. If not, the exploit mentioned in Flawless Aim (20G) can easily be used to unlock this achievement, especially while going for Eagle-Eyed (20G).
  • Finish 5 Hidden Object Puzzles in a row without using Hints.

    *MISSABLE*

    As the description says, you need to finish five HOPs in a row without pressing dpad-up.png to use a hint. If you're playing on Casual, you can mash button-a.png during HOPs and should therefore have no problems completing all of them in the game quickly and without hints.
  • Finish 4 Minigames in a row without skipping.

    *MISSABLE*

    Refer to Puzzle Expert (100G) for more information.
  • Finish any Minigame in less than 1 minute.

    *MISSABLE*

    Most minigames in this game are very short and easy, with a few being virtually impossible to take over a minute to complete, such as the balancing minigame (this counts as a minigame for this achievement). If you aren't confident with your abilities, you can refer to Soul of The Lost (20G) for a walkthrough that includes the solutions to all minigames. Check one out ahead of time so you can quickly finish it in under a minute.
  • Finish all Minigames without skipping.

    *MISSABLE*

    Most minigames in this game are incredibly easy for even the most casual of gamers, but there are a couple that could prove annoying. If you get stuck anywhere though, the walkthrough linked in Soul of The Lost (20G) has the solutions to all minigames in the game. Refer to it as needed.
  • Find a reflection of a Rose-tinted Moon.

    *MISSABLE*

    Refer to Celestial Collection (100G) for more information.
  • Find half of all the reflections of a Rose-tinted Moon.

    *MISSABLE*

    Refer to Celestial Collection (100G) for more information.
  • Find all reflections of a Rose-tinted Moon.

    *MISSABLE*

    Collectibles in this game come in the form of rose-tinted moons - basically, reflections of a red full moon, so you're looking for little red circles. That also phase in and out, making them a little tougher to spot. There are a total of 32 of them - one per scene. You should therefore always be finding the moon any time you reach a new scene for the first time. Keep THIS GUIDE open and handy throughout your playthrough to ensure you don't miss one, because there are many points of no return. Full credit to the Steam user who made the guide.
