100% Achievement Guide

100% Achievement Guide

Introduction

Hello. Since this game doesn't offer any manual saves it can get tricky to get 100% achievements in one go. Also since there isn't any way to skip dialogue it starts getting kinda annoying also if you miss one.

SPOILERS WARNING

This guide contains many spoilers.

How to manual save

You can manual save by going to C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\LocalLow\Microids\Syberia3

There is a file and a folder. The file is your save file. When you enter a room sometimes it autosaves. You must copy this file elsewhere since the game overwrites this file constantly. To reload you need to replace the file you saved and restart the game. Thanks Microids

The scriptwriter's nightmare: While exploring, perform 5 optional actions that influence your progress.

• Another game wide achievement. You need to explore and know things before needing them. Stuff like reading the Captains diary before trying to convince him, or speaking to Kurk about bribing the watchman before talking to the watchman. I received this achievement during the bridge crossing. You need to do 5 of these action.

Crime and punishment: On the first try, you succeeded in convincing a lost soul to seek redemption by helping you.

• Convince Obo on the first try. First conversation [Hedge], [Push], [Argue] doesn't count, only the one after him sobering up. Make sure to read his diary located on top level of the ship before. Order is [Coax]>Valsembor needs you>I offer redemption (read the logbook first)

Martingale: During a discussion, use an irrefutable argument that you obtained by exploring.

• During your conversation with Captain Obo, you chose "I offer redemption". You need to read his diary first, located on the top level of the ship, on a table.

A word to the wise…: When solving a puzzle, find what's needed the first time around.

• During the coal puzzle, before using the cart, take the pipe near the box and start hitting all coal chutes until you find the full one (it will sound different)

Ice breaker: When solving a puzzle, start the mechanism you're asked to without stalling a single time.

• This one is a bit tricky. You need to start the icebreaker without stalling the engine. Short version is you need to go to gear 1, pull lever. The icebreaker will start breaking. Then switch to gear 3, icebreaker will accelerate and then quickly switch to 2. Do not let go of the click while you change gears.

This video might help you.

Mobile communication: When solving a puzzle, you used a strange machine without putting out the fire you lit beforehand.

• Just as the name says, use the machine without putting out the fire. To make sure the fire stays lit, don't block the smoke. Better yet, set the machine first then the last thing you do is light the fire.

I missed "Brave... in good time!", "Cassandra" and "Available brainwidth." All the ones marked as "not sure if this can be missed."

I simply took another route to the funicular so never ran into the mayor. I think I picked less accusatory dialogue options with Zamiatine, so that's probably why I didn't get the achievement about being right about Olga... And brainwidth was easy to miss because even if Kurk was there (though I often struggle to find him from among youkols), I don't think there was any reason to talk to him for the quest at that point so just went past him.

[MasterGame™]

got all achievment except Table Turned because it's in the wrong sequence! Change it please for the people who will use this guide!

[cd]

But I missed the Cassandra like some other people.


But after some research, I found this other guide with a save file for this achievement :

[The Nothing Man]

[janosbanoczki]

Thx

[Cyber-Freak]

Tables Turned should be placed between Lobbyist and Brave

[fredling192]

A note on the available brainwidth one, it is missable, you can miss it if you go back using the cart; then you won't meet Kurt, unless you go back to the tunnel on purpose.

[fredling192]

I didn't get Cassandra either. I think I did everything that was mentioned in the comments here, no idea how to get it. Guess I'll try one of the savefiles offered in the forums when I'm through with the game.

[Tyler]

Hello, they are sorted by storyline? Or i must check EVERY achievements before do any single click? XD

[adleen]

So many missables and yet the game doesn't have multiple save slot. How awful!
Thanks for the guide
