Here's how to get all medals and only play adventure mode once

[Spartan]

The worst part of this game would have to be the thought of playing through adventure mode three times in order to get bronze, silver, and gold medals. Here's what to do to only have to play adventure mode once:

Play through the entire adventure mode on simulation difficulty. After getting all the gold medals for this, go to Open Season mode. In Open Season mode set the difficulty to one of the lower levels and then play a level. After completing the level you will get the achievement for whatever difficulty you played it on for whatever part of Alaska that level would be under.

For example:

If you played in Open Season on the North Slope level on Greenhorn difficulty you would get the Western Arctic Bronze Badge.

If you played Sitka level on Sportsman difficulty you would get the Southeastern Silver Badge.

nice find man, wish I wouldve known about it a little earlier lol. Thanks for the tip!!!

Does this work for the Platinum Badges?? 'cause that last one's a bear (haha)

For the Platinum badges you will have to finish all the hunts, fishing, and the challenges still. What problem are you having with the last one?

[FUNERAL PYRE]

I AM LOST. I JUST RENTED THIS. SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. OPPPPS. sorry. could you make this a little clearer for us booties.

You can actually play the difficulty below simulation(I think it's Sportsman) and still get the badges this way. Just thought I would let everyone know.

[Twizlex]

Actually, you can do it on the lowest difficulty, Greenhorn. I played through the main and special hunts and the fishing contest, got the bronze medal, played an Open Season "round" or whatever on Sportsman and Simulation to get the Silver and Gold medals, then went back into Adventure, did the dog sled races, and then played another level on Open Season to get the Platinum Badge (on either Sportsman or Simulation). I don't know if you necessarily have to do it that way, like maybe if you just do all the contests on greenhorn and then play an Open Season level on Sportsman or higher you'll get the Silver or gold AND the Platinum at the same time. All I know is that what I already described worked for me, and I'm gonna do that on each area to unlock all the medals. Hope this makes the game less painful and crappy for you.

Edit: What a horrible game for my first post memory.

[Rogertheshruber]

yeah it definately works if you just beat just the main hunts and first fishing contest in greenhorn difficulty, then go to open season and choose one tag for an area inside a region (like northern slope which will give you the western arctic badge). but i recommend you beat the whole game on sportsman because you need to get the platinum badges anyway, then go back and use the trick to get the bronze and gold ones

[Butters]

Yea wow i stumbled on this today while just screwing around in open season...

[swirlymanx]

Cool I didn't know you can do that, to bad for me because I almost have all the achievements.

[calzord]

ok i just sarted with my game (i have a chinese afro and beard hunter) i choose simulation difficulty are you saying i could
make a new game on the easyest setting
play through the first level on easy
go into open seson and play the same level on siver and gold and get all 3 achivments.
what about the platinum medals do they ulock at the same time as your silver or gold?
thanks

[Jedi Kayben]

Haha this is great, just did the first area on green horn and then got the sportsman and simulation achievements in open season with just one kill for each, awesome!!!

[RedxEyex420]

Make sure you follow spartan's guide at the top of this forum so you dont have to replay the career twice.

[benbam87]

Thanks for this mate going to do this now. Its a decent game but I don't think I can play it again

[The Pink Catt]

Thanks for the tip!

easier way!!

play one level on greenhorn and complete all hunts. DO NOT travel to next level!!
save game and quit to main menu. then play open season on any hunt in the area you are currently playing on adventure.
pick one tag and play on sportsman ( you will get silver and platinum)
pick one tag and play on simulation ( you will get gold achie)
Then go on to next area, rinse & repeat

Easier because you only have to play adventure on GREENHORN and only have to hunt one animal on each level on Simulation and Sportsman

[SWAGGART]

Thanks for the heads up ive got this on the way and my friend told me how the game must think you are a young budding David Attenborough or something because nothing happens when you put your sights on an animal.

I just tried this method and the game hard locks every time, no matter what area or tag.

EDIT: Found my answer in another thread. Play the fishing missions in Open Season instead.

Spewing! I've recently finished all the adventures on Simulation! At least the using the radar saved me a bit! Wow this game would actually suck if you had to do it properly on simulation! Hang on, this game sucks any way.

[Sweets23]

Wow, thanks for posting that, i been have a bit of a trying time going thru all levels. This will definitely help.

[nfgmusicPaul]

I'm still lost. I just got the achievement for completing some of the adventure on SPORTSMAN difficulty and just got SILVER. Then I killed some animals in open season on GREENHORN and got BRONZE.
Spartan says to start out on SIMULATION difficulty. Is it too late for me to complete the rest of adventure? Should I restart it on SIMULATION or just keep going and then have to play it all over again?
thanks

[Braiiins]

I just started this game tonight and when I only got the simulation difficulty achievement I was furious. I'm glad I know a trick now, I started on simulation so I don't know how much harder it actually is (seems rather easy except for being killed and dog sledding).

Speaking of that, what is an easy way for dog sledding? I run out of stamina rather easy (should I just stop and let the dogs rest and not care about time?) and the sled breaks easily too, seems like it just gradually decreases, any pointers? thanks

So this method won't void me out of getting any other achievement? So say I start on greenhorn will I miss any of the achievements if I use this glitch?

Edit:

Works like a charm, what a legend!
