Getting all of the achievements in one playthrough?

[Bagheadt]

Is it possible? Or do you need to do a new game + to get that?

Its possible, theres no missables.

Achievements arre the worst thing introduced to gaming. Yes, worse than microtransactions.

There are. Namely mime in act 1, key for the journal etc.

They're all obtainable in a single playthrough, but there are missables.

Don't be silly.

OP, it is perfectly doable to unlock all achievements in a single playthrough BUT there are some missables:


Make sure you fight the mime during the prologue

Killing the friendly monsters that give you quests (bar one) will cause you to forgo the true reward and ach

Lying to Maelle in Act 3 will lock you out of max friendship level and consequently, the best move in the game as well as the achievement

There are like three missable achievements but all are possible in one play through. Just make sure to kill the mime and win an old key in the prologue and tell the truth to Maelle after completing her optional quests before/after the final story boss.

Killing the final boss does not automatically end the game. You can also see two endings in one run by reloading your save file (I did a backup of my save file just in case).

Got it, thanks everyone. That pretty much cleared it all up for me.

I was so confident I'd explored the entirety of Lumiere before progressing the prologue :(

It's true. Achievements have rewired how people play games - and I'm not fully exempt, happened to me a few times. We now play for a checklist instead of in-the-moment enjoyment. Imagine if we read books or watched movies this way? Just turning a hobby into a chore?

This is what I'm saying. There's no way you actually enjoy this. You've been conditioned to do it, sure, but...

Yes there is, many people enjoy it. Achievement hunting is fun. And it gives me another reason to spend a longer ammount of time in a game i already love, and to seek out every single little thing there is to do in the game.

Proves my point. You can do anything an achievement tells you to do without explicitly being told to do it BY an achievement. The fact you say it's "another reason" shows you'd not do it otherwise. It's changed the way you play games. You could (to use an achievement a large amount of people know) go through Half-Life 2's Ravenholm chapter using only gravity gun just from your own intuitive enjoyment instead of "Damn, guess I better do this to complete a checklist of things the game suggests I do."

It is doable yes.
I did it myself, however, it is a waste of time.

Grinding to L99 is rather painful, but if you intend to do it, the best spot I found was in Renoir's draft. Clock on the flag, go down, do a U turn on your left at the bottom of the ramp, climb the roof, kill the three mobs with one shots, return to the flag to respawn them, keep going.
This was the least time consuming way of doing it in my opinion, as they pay out about 3 or 4 mills if memory serves, and if you one shot them, it only takes 20 seconds plus the short round trip to the flag.
I averaged a little over 1 mill exp per minute like that.
It took about 15 kills per levels average if I'm not mistaken, since you need a couple more for each levels.

All the other achivement, save the first mime in Lumiere which can be missed, are done through the story and exploration, so preferably done before going back to Lumiere for the last time. However, a couple of items are in Lumiere, a song and a journal if memory serves.
