Introduction:
The First Templar is one of the easy 1000 games around. You play as Caelian a Templar who goes on quest in search for the Holy Grail. The story unfolds in 22 chapters with areas ranging from ancient temples to Swamps to cities like Acre. Those who love to get more information on Templars and their power are going to like this much more than others. The Game itself is not bad and can be played single or Co-operatively with a partner online.


Most of the achievements can be earned on the first playthough of the game and if you miss anything there is always a chapter select. 

The game has three difficulty levels. Causal, Normal and Hard. I recommend playing it on Hard straight away as this game is very easy for the most part even on Hard. While playing get as many collectibles as possible and complete as many bonus objectives as possible so that your level replays can be minimized.

Speaking of collectibles there are only two types. One is the Templar Chronicles and the other one is Chests which contains outfits and weapons. I am not going to write a collectible guide as they are very easy to find. They are even indicated as white markers in the mini map so no guide is required for it. If anyone else is writing one then you are welcome.

A neat walkthrough for the whole game is here , refer this if you have problems with collectibles

Step 1:
Playthrough the game on Hard difficulty and gain all but 4 achievements which are meant for online. There are 22 levels in total and it should roughly take 10-12 hours to complete.

Step 2:
Start a new game with Xbox live connected and select the online game option as everyone. Then playthough the game again to get all the 4 online achievements. As you have already completed the game once this should be a very fast run of the game. With a partner around it the game should not take more than 5-6 hours to complete. But keep in mind thought that you have to level up and distribute skills for your partner as the game doesn’t allow guests to level up.

But if you are lazy to playthough twice, you can couple step1 and step 2 and start an online game on Hard straight away and still get all the achievements.

All you have to this kill every enemy and siege towers with a trebuchet. Press  to fire and  speed up reload and  to aim. It’s a part of bonus objective so if you are going for "Dedicated" achievement then this should come in naturally.

    (2)  

    Same as above. When you are using trebuchet, some enemies will flee for their life. Just aim for them and kill them.

  • Finished a level in an online multiplayer game

    Self-explanatory. Just complete a level in online CO-OP.

  • Finished all levels in the campaign in multiplayer online mode

    Just finish every level online. But not sure how the game saves the progress, so it’s better to start and host a game online rather than joining others game.

  • Finished a whole level without both characters dropping below 1 Health Orb

    (5)  

    Easiest done in first level on casual difficulty. Your health orb should not drop at all for this. Say if you have 5 health orbs at the beginning of a level, it should remain 5 till the end. Even if one orb falls the achievement won’t unlock. Also can be done at Templar tunnels level as there are no enemies to face on the entire level. Just avoid traps and stick to main objective and this can be a cakewalk.

    Story related and can’t be missed.

  • Set 50 objects on fire

      

    You get your first opportunity to burn things on Templar tunnels level. Just light every Brazier on this level and you should have 30/50 on this level alone.

If you throw a dagger before 2 or 4 hits they only get knocked down and will not be killed. Each throw costs a zeal orb so make sure to fill up the zeal orb before performing a ranged attack.
