[Ozbaab]

Mmmmm, nightmare difficulty
I like these cheevos!

[DOOKH8R]

I hope the difficulties stack.

[B A R 4 D]

These look interesting, hopefully difficulty wont be a huge problem :/

[Rivercurse]

That one about completing the game without dying or restarting..
Not looking forward to that one, I was hoping to rent this and just play through once on Nightmare difficulty.

Doesn't look like thats gonna be possible thanks to this achievement

[Opiate42]

I'm a collectibles junky, but this one and it's 100 coffee thermoses reminds me of Assassin's Creed's flags....yikes.

You can't play the game once for 100%, Nightmare have to be unlocked by playing Hard first.
I just think it's nice with exciting and intriguing achievements like these. I like that they have put some time and effort into making 'em!

If you're talking about An Idyllic Small Town, then it isn't the whole game. It's only part of a single episode in the game.

[hemeaqui]

still waiting for the achievo guide!

[ckleckner]

there are no achievements for completeing the game without dieing just certain parts. and night mare is unlocked from the beginning lol.

the one that seems that it will take the longest will be burn 1000 birds if u ask me lol.

graphics are really good

i hear the game is short but oh well i think worth a rent but not worth the 80 for collectors edition for sure. im gonna cancel and put the 10 towards red dead.

[xNUKEx]

not a bad list might get this game

Nightmare isn't unlocked from the beginning. You have to clear Normal or Hard first. Collectibles carry over though, which is nice (so you only need to find a few extra pages on nightmare). Collectibles themselves are fairly ok to find. Think I finished missing a handful of thermoses, signs and manuscript pages. Finding the last couple of thermoses will probably take the longest (ones you've previously found won't show up, so I'll look for the rest on nightmare mode).

Burning 1000 birds is easily done over the course of the game. You'd have to actively try not to do it (and even then, I don't know if you can avoid it).

Could some1 that has the chievos tell me how to get the Meet the Deadline and Gunless Wonder achievment.

They're both fairly easy to get. Simply load up the part of the episode you need (I think "Meet the Deadline" is the last part of Episode 3, and "Gunless Wonder" is the first part of Episode 6).

For "Meet the Deadline", just rush through the level on normal. Try to avoid as many fights as you can (run towards light, etc.). Don't bother searching for collectibles. When you character says "I could see lights on the lake. It had to be a boat" or something to that effect, the achievement should pop.

For "Gunless Wonder", again try to avoid fights. You're not allowed shoot, but you can use flares and flashbangs. These you'll want to save until later in the level though. Try to run towards light, and stay in vehicles as much as possible. If you're surrounded, pop a flare. Later when you get attacked by those fast phasing taken, use flashbangs. Further in to the level you'll have to move blocks by tapping A (while being attacked by taken, since you can't kill them easily without weapons). Simply drop a flare, push the block a bit, and drop another flare when the first goes out. This will hold them back.

Both achievements are fairly easy to get, and should only take you a short time. You're also able to die and restart from a checkpoint in both (running towards scripted twisters is a bad idea >.< ).

[Yelll o]

do these acheevs follow story line? or are they acheevs u have to find/unlock by skills within the game?? im still up in the air about purchasing this game

See what's on TV.

There will be a TV to turn on in the night time scene of the Caldron Lake Lodge level (episode 4), just before you escape.

From the guide.

it does stack

[Drauko]

I've been watching for this game since like 2005, so I don't have a problem going through it at least twice. I'll probably slam through it on normal and then finish the collectables and achievements on Nightmare mode. Trying to keep my spoilers to a minimum.

I played on hard first, after that I played every episode again in different order to get the collectibles I needed for the achievements.
After that I played yet again on Nightmare.

This because I didn't want to have to run around looking for collectibles when the enemies hit pretty hard and are tough to kill

[N3xus Gam3r]

i am finding the Nightmare mode to be easy...

Thanks for the info. Probably going that route.

[IS Achilles SI]

Very nice plan of attack!

[TURDBURGLAR16]

This game is actually really good so far I like it a lot. The achievements don't seem too bad either which is good lol.

[IS Achilles SI]

I am halfway through episode 2 right now and am just blown away by the story, graphics....everything about this game is fantastic...and it doles out achievements quite nicely...will take 2 play throughs though to get all 1000.
