Overview
+Estimated achievement difficulty: 8/10
+ Offline: 44
+ Online: None
+ Approximate time: 25-30 hours
+ Minium number of playthroughs needed: 3
+ Glitched achievements: None
+ Cheats: No Cheats

If you want all the achievements in just 3 playthroughs use this strategy (indept walkthrough scroll down):
Playthrough 1: You can get 715gs in your first run if you do all the tricks, find all the bags and don't shoot an enemy. You can complete the story mode in about 4-6 hours depending on your playstyle.
Playthrough 2: Now you've finished the game and unlocked the hard difficulty. If you complete the game on hard you'll get the pro runner achievement worth 80 gamerscore. You can finish the game pretty quick because you know the way and you're able to shoot enemies so this take about 3-5 hours.
Playthrough 3: Not really a playthrough but you need to finish the chapters under a time limit. The speedrun's are worth 10g each so all together will give you 100gs. Speedrun's are very hard and depending on your skills this will take most of your time, about 10-15 hours.

Time trials: And at last the time trials wich will take you 5-7 hours also depending on your skill. They are not that hard and if you practice them you get the time trial achievements worth 105gs pretty easy.


Detailed Roadmap:

1.1 Start a new game from the main menu with this guide close. Also keep in mind that you CANT fire any shot. Just DONT do it. Now complete the tutorial. This will get you your first achievement (completing the tutorial)

1.2 Now the prologue begins. Keep in mind these things:
- Dont get hit by enemy gunshots or punches
- Try not to land in an hard landing (screen flashing red). Do a skill roll after every jump to be sure.
- Find all 3 bags
- Don't fire any gun

1.3 As soon as it start you can do a trick located here.

1.4 Move on and try not to get hit when chased by the enemies. When you reach the zipper line use this movie to get another trick achievement

1.5 After this you encounter your first enemies you need to kill. Here you can do the 2 secret achievements. Video's are located here and here. Dont worry if you get hit trying to get the 2 secret achievements. You can always replay this level or try it in any of the following levels. Try to kill the second enemy with a wallrun + kick. This is an achievement too

1.6 Complete the level and if done right you get 5 achievements. (not hit, all bags, complete prologue, no shots fired and no heavy landing)

1.7 Move on with the story mode and just complete the levels and collect all bags. When youre in mission 3 you get an achievement for collecting 11 bags.

1.8 When your in mission 6 and you see two runner cops coming in from the elevator (little cutscene) you need to climb a large area. Dont do this. Instead run around the structure and maintain your speed for 30 seconds. When you think you hit 30 seconds stop and an achievement will pop up

1.9 In the final mission you'll get the bags achievement and after the ending scene you'll get 2 achievements (finish chapter 9 and complete game without shooting)

1.10 If you disarmed all off the enemies and killed them you get the 2 achievements for this during the story mode. If you dont got these at the end just restart a mission with lots of enemies, kill all of them, die, and repeat.

1.11 If you dont got the achievement free flowing (most people get it random during the story mode) restart the tutorial and do this: When crossed the pipe you see a small building. Instead of climbing on it wallrun the wall on the right and jump on the ledge. You'll have more than enough height to do a speedvault.

2.1 Now you have unlocked speedrun's and hard mode. Start a new game on hard mode and complete the game again. You can shoot now because you allready got that achievement. This will take less time then your first playthrough because you know the way.

3.1 After finishing the game on hard mode its best to start the time trials. These are located in the main menu.

3.2 First start the time trial Playground 2. Then follow this movie for the trick

3.3 Now your free to try to get 2 stars on every level. If you think you can get a 3 star on a level with a little bit more effort go for it.

3.4 After all the time trials you probaly got all the time trial achievements.

4.1 Now its time for the speedrun´s, These are the hardest of the game, mainly because one little mistake can restart you. Its a work of trial and error but eventually you'll get these achievements.

Superstar100
Attain a Time Trial star rating of 90. [Pure Time Trials]

A lot of skill and time is required to get a star rating of 90 on all trials. There are 32 time trials (including the Pure Time Trials) for you to obtain up to a 3-Star Rating in each.

The maximum star rating is 96, so there is little room for error.

Some tips for beating the target times:

- Don't always use the most obvious routes, There will be various other routes that can shave many seconds off your time.
- Take advantage of the ability to download the ghosts from the leaderboards.
- Try to plan out your route before you attempt to break the target. It helps if you plan where to jump, when to jump, etc.
- If you get lost at any point during the new trials just look around for coloured blocks (usually red, purple, pink, yellow). These are the slowest, but easiest routes to follow.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
