General Tips
No achievements can be missed, everything you have beaten can be replayed at any time.
Beating the stage and earning medals earns you insight.
To see gifts and medal time requirements you need 1 insight.
To see player ghosts, you need 2 insight.
To see in-game hints, you need 3 insight.
To see the global leaderboards, you need 4 insight.
The in-game hints give a good idea on what shortcuts to take in order to get the Ace Medals.
Some stages have faster ways of completing them that are not indicated by hints, although these methods are not required to get the Ace Medals, they can make a run more lenient.
You can return to any level previously completely after completing an episode.
If you accidentally went ahead to the next level and still needed something from the previous stage while playing through an episode, you will have to finish it in order to return.

Clockwork
Defeat Green at the Clocktower before he reaches the top floor
This one is a bit tricky.
You basically wanna do as much damage to him as you can before he reaches the top.
Try to learn where he moves to and attack him during every opening.
There is no medal requirement so you can go at a pace you’re comfortable with.
He can still climb the clocktower, the achievement only doesn’t count if he dies at the very top.
Divine Intervention
Defeat Green at the Third Temple before he reaches the final stage
Also tricky, but seems to be more lenient then Clockwork.
Same applies here as to Clockwork, try to figure out where he’s moving and when he can be hit.
