Iron Man Achievement

[likkee]

Does anyone know what "Complete the game" means? Still in the middle of my normal playthrough and really wondering if this achievement is even doable considering the amount of random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and me being bad deaths I had so far.

Finishing all the main quests for the barman, probably. I did that before in hunter, and before the achievements were added, but now it is different since new content was added. I suspect that the logic remains the same. Only completing the main questline, not faction ones.

As far as doable or not goes, like you said, there are just too many ways that you die in a completely random and unfair way, so I believe this is a total pain in the rear to complete although not mathematically impossible. I believe that the developers themselvels already said the game is not balanced for permadeath, which I always concurred. since way before 1.0 and achievements were added.

I have finished all quests from the NPCs and the last 'mission' is not actually a quest but from dialogue from 'The Guide' that is to search the Watchers base in Zarkov city. Haven't finished it yet as getting to the building is a pain and then as soon as you enter there seems to be a 50% chance of instant gank from waiting Watchers, the rest of the time they just throw infinite grenades at you and get you stuck in a corner. It has not been fun. Having to spend the time trekking across the map to get to the base, then having to fight my way through the base just to 'attempt' the building again and get Merc'd immediately is seriously tedius.

I've so far finished Machinery with permadeath enabled, and haven't yet received the achievement. I guess I'll have to raid their base and beat the final god/boss thingy. Honestly, I think that is incredibly hard.

Is perma-death even feasible there? I've gotten as far as the mall in ironman so far, but I won't bother continuing if endgame quests are a coin toss.

Even with the best armors (category 6 ) all that takes is taking the wrong corner and bumping into a Watcher squad which will drop you before you can realize what happened. This or Surprise Arman in the makeshift camp while you are looting stuff…
I guess it’s possible, but you will have to take veeery slowly and carefully.

Heck , I died yesterday by a Watcher hidden by clutter and the smoke from the extraction point in Zakov. Saw the counter, waited contently and suddenly died at 1.5s mark .

Get to the "wish granter" in watchers HQ.

The watchers aren't so scary when you are properly prepared.[ the scary part is when they bug out in one place that you dont expect but in HQ theyr scripted to be on some places making it easy to not run into a trap like 3 watchers in bathroom of some apartment] the worst things are grenades & thats why you never should peak close to a corner & just simply w8 for them to come to you [patience is esential for survival in this game].

You don't need to focus all watchers, all you need to watch out is watchers who wear CYCLOPES Armor. Those who wear this armor might have SKOP H aka Scar to instant kill player who wear class 6 armors. All other watchers wear class 3-5 usually have weaker weapons that can't penetrate class 6 armor.

Enemies have random weapons, but the number of enemies, where they are, and which class they are always same. So watcher's HQ isn't that hard no matter which difficulty you are playing once you know this.

I sided with green army finished war then finished kiba kills did all the crystal quest, done igor and mr junks quests still dont got the achievement what did I do wrong?

[jantje]

also nothing but junk didnt get that dropping one big load of bullets at start of the raid didnt do it

[Hershey]

The trigger of "IRON MAN" is to complete the Watch Tower or Watcher's HQ whatever it is with "Permanent Death" on.
No need to complete any side quests but complete Barman's quest except the one kill Kibba 15 times.

[jantje]

yeah weird done it all still no achievement had the event on dont know if that messed it up

[Flolelan]

you can cheese the whole thing and simply start an save on hardcore but adjust the enemy difficulty in setings to 0.01hp and 0.01dmg. its then like 2h of just running to the spots.

you get the achievment after raiding the watcher base. meeting the ball at the end of the power plant and stating your wish is the trigger for "finishing the game"
