Chest achievement

[Azerate]

So in FC it was possible to just replay old saves and try all the chests for the second time. Does it work like this here too?

I thought so, but I just finished chapter 2, with 2 missing chests. I thought I may have missed some in Limestone Cave, cause I checked other places very thoroughly.

So here's the deal - I found a chest which I completely skipped, by reloading an older save (didn't wanna waste time by going all the way to Limestone cave) I opened it and waited a bit, and the count didn't go up.

Then I went there on my latest (post penguin boss) save, opened it and it was added to the count immediately.

So does this mean you need to have all the chests opened and checked at the same time in 1 save file? That would suck so much.

Not sure if this is still bugged, as you should be able to open them in various save files. Also, last I heard/read the total number of chests was actually incorrect.

The achievement is bugged.
By the way the count works the same way it does in FC. I can testify to that.
There is nothing else to do but wait for a fix.

Still holding off on finishing the game until they fix the achivment. Been several months since the last update. Wonder if it is still even being worked on.

Well, I'm currently at chapter 4 and the achievement seems to be working quite fine. The only problem, as always, is that it doesn't refresh after every chest which sometimes gives an impression that some chests aren't counted - and those "no-refresh" states can sometimes last very long.

I am going with gamefaqs guide, which has chest totals at the end of every chapter, every time I checked my chest total vs. the figure given in the guide.

Chapter 1 End: 70/72 Collected
Chapter 2 End: 120/123 Collected
Chapter 3 End: 140/141 Collected

So as you can see chapter 3 end was quite the wtf moment for me, it seems that I actually missed only 1 chest and not 3 - this confusion was most probably caused by the fact that the counter was not refreshed when I was looking at it.

Anyway, I will continue collecting them and then go through all of them once again afterwards

PS. The most unexpected has happened after I finished chapter 4. My counter now shows 184 chests, which according to the guide should be 175. Will report what happens later.

The achivment updates usually when you exit the game and steam resyncs.

Also one of the chest I and others have confirmed as not working is in the crimson tower in chapter 2. Most of the rest seem to be in the final chapter.

From memory, someone went through and only counted 512 chests so not sure what is going on with the counter - maybe Sara could comment on the status of the achievements?

[Azerate]

I just finished chapter 5 and my counter is still 9 higher than it should be, according to the guide.

So this is only a guess, but if what you are saying is true kyll, it's possible they fixed the achievement by adding 10 to the counter automatically after chapter 4 (and I'm missing 1).

Yeah, I'm waiting fot the achievements to be patched to play my nightmare completionist run, as traditionally do.
