Rubinite Demo Checklist

What the Demo Checklist Tracks

The demo checklist is an interactive rubinite.wiki tool that logs your progress through the free Steam Rubinite Demo. Check off milestones: Focus tutorial completion, control familiarity, The Beast half-health Blood Dust earned, The Beast full clear, first Wichiwi Talisman crafted, Guardian Faye clear, and Leaderboard Challenge unlock. Progress saves in browser localStorage on your device — no account required.

Use it alongside our how-to-play-demo walkthrough so you never wonder whether you skipped Talisman crafting before Guardian Faye. Stalled accounts almost always show unchecked Blood Dust or Talisman boxes.

Checklist Milestones Explained

Tutorial and controls items ensure you understand Focus on R2 or keyboard before The Beast. Half-health Beast dust verifies you engaged the farming loop that funds Wichiwi. Talisman crafted confirms hub investment. Faye clear marks demo story completion. Leaderboard unlocked proves optional endgame access.

Reset options in the tool UI clear localStorage if you replay the demo on a second Steam account or coaching a friend through Ruby's journey.

Tips for Stuck Players

If Guardian Faye checks stay empty while Beast checks are done, visit best Talismans and farm Blood Dust guides before more attempts. If Beast checks stall, return to Focus guide video StWGKYc8mYk for one-mark loop practice.

Full-game launch July 22, 2026 may warrant a separate checklist page with eight bosses — we will extend tools when verified.

Data Storage Note

Checklist state never leaves your browser unless you sync browsers manually. Clearing site data removes checks. This is independent of Steam achievements or cloud saves.

See our privacy policy for broader wiki data practices. The checklist embodies the same local-first philosophy as other rubinite.wiki utilities.

Using the Checklist for Coaching

Streamers coaching chat through the demo can share checklist URLs so viewers self-verify Talisman milestones before asking for Faye strats. Speedrun categories may define all-boxes-checked as 100% demo completion separate from fastest kill times.

Reset checklist when switching Steam accounts or replaying after long breaks — stale boxes mislead worse than empty ones. Pair with demo walkthrough order for deterministic routing.

Optional stretch goals after all boxes checked: no-hit The Beast, no-flask Guardian Faye, three-mark leaderboard submission, and speedrun timer under community median — none required for demo completion but popular among the 150K wishlist crowd practicing before launch.

Why Each Milestone Matters

Tutorial box confirms Focus on R2 or keyboard works. Half-health Beast box confirms economy engagement. Talisman box confirms Wichiwi interaction — the single strongest Faye difficulty reducer. Faye box confirms story readiness for Leaderboard. Leaderboard box confirms optional mastery path.

Skipping any box correlates with common help forum posts. Checklist exists to turn those posts into self-service verification before asking for strats.

Print or screenshot completed checklist states for personal records — not required, but popular among demo speedrun categories documenting 100% completion.

Family shared PC users should reset checklist after finishing so the next player gets accurate unchecked defaults — checklist stores no names, only boolean progress flags.

Integrate checklist with Discord progress bots manually if desired — no official API; export is visual screenshot only today.

Checklist complements Steam achievements but tracks wiki-defined milestones achievements may omit, such as explicit half-health Beast dust confirmation.

Teachers using Rubinite in game design classes can project checklist progress to discuss risk-reward Focus mechanics and boss rush pacing without spoiling full-game Alcina plot beats.
