Achievement was bugged for the past few days, but it's been patched as of a couple of hours ago. It wasn't un-earnable, but it several of the ways you could set up the correct circumstances were incorrectly blocked off.

So if you haven't patched the game today, that might be a factor!

Will also say the achievement is probably a little more outside the box than you're thinking it is ;)

i thought about maybe dropping the knife and going away but the guy just picks it up before leaving...apparently 11% of players got it tho so it's possible
Genuinely feeling kind of stumped at the moment. I've tried *about* almost everything, but I'm mostly just running into either the fury or damsel ending. I'll pop back in if I figure out how to do it, but hopefully someone else will have the answer before me.

I found one way. walk down with the knife, wonder if she's really armed.

oh yeah that does it. I guess "manifesting" really was the key word here. It's not your own knife you have to give her, you just have to give the narrator the idea of giving her a hidden blade of her own.

I still need the "I tried so hard, and got so far..." achievement myself. Plus the hidden one, but I'm guessing that's an achievement for getting all achievements.

I think the hidden achievement is the "good ending" one. Just slay the princess without hesitation, then unquestioningly believe the narrator when he tells you there's nothing to fear and you've won.

Got it, thanks! Now I just need the I tried so hard achievement

tried so hard is pretty self-explanatory. Try your hardest to resist, but give in at the last second.

is this achievement completable in ch1 or ch2? when i take the knife and go in the basement i can't "wonder if she's really armed"

Resist what, though? I tried resisting the stabby stabby but it didn't work.

After you choose to free her and on your way to the locked door, the narrator will try to force you to slay her anyway with choices full of "Slay the Princess". Find "Warn Her" among those choices and the narrator will try to force you again. Instead of "Resist", choose to slay her this time and you'll get the achievement. Basically you resist the narrator once only to give in later.

Im confused, I asked the narrator if she's unarmed.... and nothing.

Weird. Here's what I did: go to the cabin, take the blade, enter the basement, continue down the stairs, steel your nerves and step forward. The narrator says she's unarmed, and there's an explore option that says "Are you sure she's not armed?" then choose to slay the princess
