1. Collectibles & Totals
The Endings checklist covers 6 entries. You can tick them off one by one on the Endings tracker, and the page keeps a running count as you go.
The Bosses checklist covers 6 entries. You can tick them off one by one on the Bosses tracker, and the page keeps a running count as you go.
The Weapons checklist covers 8 entries. You can tick them off one by one on the Weapons tracker, and the page keeps a running count as you go.

Yes. The story explainer is the only page that spoils the ending and it says so in its title and again at the top. The walkthrough stays at the level of buildings and routes, and the spoiler toggle in the bottom-left corner hides marked passages across the whole site.
3. About This Guide
15 pages in total: a walkthrough of the route through the town, guides to combat, supplies, enemies and the cast, a puzzles page, an endings guide, a remake-versus-original comparison, a spoiler-marked story explainer, and 3 checklists. Everything starts from the guide hub.
Yes. 3 separate checklists cover 20 entries between them — Bosses, Endings, Weapons — and each one shows its own progress bar.
