Touhou Double Focus – How to Complete the Snap Archive

A guide on how to complete the Snap Archive and obtain the Talented Journalist achievement in Touhou Double Focus. Some other achievements related to this too!

Find Aya’s Camera

Before we even begin completing this, you need to find Aya’s trusty tool of partial truth and justice! You will get this very early on with just simple exploration, but in case you went ahead and missed it early on, here’s a map picture guide on how to get it:

If you’re in the room, you’ll see this “책”, move near it and unlock Aya’s ability!

After taking it, you’ll unlock Perfect Shot.

This is the ability you’ll use everywhere to start saving images in your snap archive! Be sure to equip it after obtaining it!

How to Use Camera

After equipping the Perfect Shot ability, you can start using it as a regular attack. As said in the description, enemies hit will automatically be updated to your snap archive!

Be aware that the ability has zone where it needs to hit the enemies, you can’t be too close or too far! Image explanation below:

• The red crosses mean enemies in these zones will not be hit, therefore will not take damage or be added to the snap archive.
• Only enemies in the blue circle (shown in-game as a rectangle) will take damage and be updated to the snap archive.

Snap Archive will not only record enemies but also various NPCs(which we will cover later in this guide), so be sure to snap a photo before talking with them!

Some of these things are miserable and will not be doable again once missed, meaning you need to do a new save!

Getting the Pictures

There are a couple of things you should remember before we start snapping photos!

• All NPCs at least have 1 snap archive entry
• All normal enemies at least have 1 snap archive entry
• Bosses have 2 snap archive entries each: The first entry when they get hit by Perfect Shot and a second entry when Perfect shot is the finishing blow.
• Boss locations shown on this guide will show their initial location to find them. After defeating them once, you can fight them again in the base area on the right and attempt to get their photos there. Hence, all boss snap archives can be obtained in a single save.
• Some entries can unlock another achievement. This will be mentioned in this guide.

“And so the journey of completing the archive begins.. err– also solving this incident”

Base Area

그만큼 Base Area 오직 2 NPCs that you can snap a photo with, and these people will be Kisume and Kosuzu.

Sekibanki (Sekibaki has 2 항목: Before you return her head, and after you return her head)

Hong Meiling

Nue Honjouu

For Nue, it’s not her specifically but you need to snap a picture of the UFO in the hallway. This also unlocks the Unidentified Underground Passage 성취

Yoshika

While Yoshika is actually in another area (not desert), she’s an isolated case and you can only access her by going to the desert so she’s included here. (Her entry is only obtainable before you give her the Talisman so be sure to snap this first before giving it)

Parsee Mizuhashi

Like Nue, Parsee is not seen directly but rather hidden behind a tree. Take a snap of the tree that has a shadow figure and she’ll be saved in the snap archive. Also unlocks the Eyes of Jealousy 성취.

사장 – Shinmyoumaru Sukuna

Unlike most bosses, Sukuna’s snap archive entry is actually unlocked in a different way. Since you guys would be fighting in a race, you’ll need to snap photos of Sukuna while she’s not moving.

You need to snap photos of her while she’s in these places for both entries.

After defeating her, you can now unlock Koakuma&Patchouli’s snap entry.

• • Purple circle means entries you need to backtrack too after acquiring certain abilities/talking to someone. Check this part of the guide to read about it.

Water City Area

• Fairy that throws knives (and doesn’t die)
• Mafia Fairy

• Fairy with a spooky mask

NPC

레밀리아(?)

Snap Archive after all of this should now look like this

Bulletpad Area

This area is super unique, and it only contains snaps for the bosses itself.

사장 1 – Hakurei Demon

사장 2 – Grotesque of Horror (not the real name, I have no idea what’s the real name)

Unlike all of the other bosses, you only need to defeat this boss in order to get the Snap photo.

Snap Archive after all of this should now look like this

Other Snap Entries

Some entries only get unlocked after a specific progression, which is noted in the other parts of this guide earlier. Those parts are covered here so people won’t get confused if they’re reading this while playing the game progressively.

Reisen Inaba (Desert Area)

Reisen is only unlocked once you manage to talk with Tewi. 그렇지 않은 경우, she will not appear in this area. (Her entry is only obtainable before you talk to her, so make sure you snap a picture before talking with her).

Koakuma and Patchouli (Castle Area)

You can only get this after defeating Sukuna, which unlocks the crawl ability. Crawl under the desk where Koakuma is lying and start the conversation, then snap a photo.

Shou Toramaru (Castle Area)

You can only get to her after talking to Komachi and then to Kosuzu.

Kagerou Imaizumi (Desert Area)

You can only get to her after defeating Kokoro, then calming her down with the Mask on her previous location with Wakagasihime. She then moves to a different location where you can get the photo.
