Achievement: 101 Ways to Die

[Jewish Mel Gibson]

Anyone know how this achievement is............. achieved?

[Endless]

Yeah i dont know. Its only listed under the global achievements which makes me think you cant get it yourself.

[Paul]

It's probably broken, since not a single person has been able to get it.

[Thalion]

It's supposed to be unlocked when you get all the "you lose" endings. And there are a lot of them.

[Thalion]

I still couldn't get the achievement. Maybe we can try to colaborate: I'll write down all the ways to lose the game I found:

Past Paris
-You don't touch Tyler's body and the conductor finds it.
-The conductor finds you with the body.
-The conductor finds you with blood on your jacket.
-You put Tyler's body in the bed but you don't close the bed.
-You knock a lot of times on the harem doors and you're kicked out of the train.
-You talk to Schmidt before you find Tyler's body. He goes to his room and finds it.
-You use the emergency brake (suicide button).
-Milos (the serbian with a beard) comes to your room, and finds Tyler's body on the floor or in the bed.
-Milos kills you with a knife (throat or stomach).
-You hide Tyler's body in the bed, but you don't get rid of it before they come to prepare your bed.
Eperney
-If you threw tyler's body through the window, then the police comes to the train. If you don't hide it's game over.
Wels: concert time
-You don't hide the Firebird with Max: Kahina finds it sooner or later and the game ends in Viena.
-Tatiana catches you with the Firebird in your hands: you can't get it again and Kahina gets it.
-You jump to the locomotive from the roof twice.
-Kahina kills you because she finds you in Krono's room before the concert.
-Kahina kills you because you didn't bring the Firebird or the gold.
-You give the Firebird to Kronos.
-You didn't show the gold to Schmidt, so the serbian didn't get they're weapons and kill you.
-Vesna (the female serbian) kills you with a knife (stomach).
-You didn't save Anna from Vesna, and you find her body.
-The conductor finds Anna's body with the luggage.
Galanta
-You don't steal the clock from Alexei's luggage.
Before Budapest
-You don't find the bomb.
-You talk to Abbot before defusing the bomb.
-You mess up defusing the bomb: don't get the box, open the box, use your hands to defuse...
Belgrad (the serbians take over the train)
- Serbian #1 knocks you out.
-You go to the restaurant and Vesna kills you.
-Serbian #2 crowbar kills you with a crowbar.
-Vesna kills you with her sword (throat or stomach).
-You're still standing up on the roof when the train approaches the tunnel.
-You didn't unhook the passenger cars when you get to the locomotive.
-You let the train stop.
-You didn' stop the train but you didn't unhook the passenger cars.
Before Constantinople
-You left the firebird in the wagons.
-You wait a lot of time to get the Firebird to Kronos.
-You don't give the firebird to Kronos.
-You don't open the Firebird.
-You don't use the whistle.

Thats a good point Thalion. It still doesnt show up though unless you view global achievements. Personally I think its a bug.

[Thalion]

"Take the money and run" also only showed up in the global achievements view, and I got it without any trouble. "101 ways to die" is the only one I didn't get yet.

[Paul]

I wonder if it literally means that there are 101 ways...
That'd be pretty crazy.

[Julien]

There are 97 unique calls to the gameOver function in the logic code. A few of them are shared between different triggers, so there might really be 101 ways to lose the game.

[Nerces]

I believe you need to have the briefcase in your posession when you reach Vienna, but let Kronos's bodyguard find the egg.

[Thalion]

That's right, Killer. Either you let Kronos find the egg or you give it to him, but you need to get the briefcase with the gold before Vienna.

[Malleys]

I don't know how to get this achievement, I think I had ALL the game overs but...

[Nerces]

It would be nice if the developers could help us on this...

I dug up my old strategy guide from the original 1997 release and will post all the wrong turns that it lists here. There are a few that I remember seeing in the game which I didn't see in your post such as closing the egg and giving it back to Kronos in Constantinople. If I remember correctly, Kronos and Kahina walk away but Tatiana still blows up the train, killing Cath and Anna. Also, if this doesn't work, has anyone tried dying in the game 101 times? (Any death that kills you, as opposed to being thrown off the train.) That seems logical, given the title.

Anyway, here are all the wrong turns in the guide as written in the chapter roundups. Notes in (parenthesis) are included in the roundup while [square brackets] are notes that I have added.

Paris to Epernay:
-Pull the alarm in any compartment.
-Conductor Mertens finds Tyler before you do.
-Talk to August Shmidt before you find Tyler.
-Either August or Milos finds Tyler.
-Either August or Milos discovers you wearing the bloody jacket.
-Either conductor discovers you wearing the bloody jacket.
-Milos kills you.
-Conductor Mertens discovers Tyler's body hidden.

Epernay to Strasbourg:
-Pull the alarm in any compartment. [Not sure if this has to be done multiple times.]
-The police board the train and arrest you.
-Take Tyler's body out of its hiding spot and put it back on the floor. [This one specifically was included in the roundup.]

Arrival in Munich: [From the time Cath wakes up to when the train arrives in Munich]
-Pull the alarm in any compartment.

Munich to Vienna:
-Pull the alarm in any compartment.
-Climb atop the train and go forward to the engine more than once.
-Smash the skylight and go into Kronos' sanctum before the concert. Result: Kahina kills you.
-After Kahina threatens Cath, fail to return the briefcase to Kronos in time. Result: Kahina kills you.
-Let Kronos get the Firebird.
-Fail to show the gold to August.
-Let Vesna kill Anna in the baggage car. [In the chapter, there are 2 endings listed, you finding Anna dead and Trainmaster Verges finding Anna dead. In the recap at the end, it only lists this once. Not sure if both are needed, but I'm listing both anyway.]

Vienna to Budapest:
-Pull the alarm in any compartment before the train is hijacked in Galanta. (After that, the alarm is useless.)
-Fail to steal the detonator from Alexi's compartment. The bomb explodes at 10:40pm.
-After you steal the detonator, fail to find the bomb before 10:40pm.
-Make the bomb explode while defusing it.

Runaway Train!: [Budapest to Constantinople]
-Ivo knocks you out.
-After escaping the Baggage Car, enter the salon before climbing on top of the train and winning the two fights; Vesna bifurcates you with a sword.
-Salko kills you in the fight atop the train.
-Vesna kills you atop the train. [Three endings are listed in the chapter, but one in the recap. First is fail to turn around when Vesna unsheathes the sword; she chops you up from behind. Second is to lose the fight with Vesna. Third is to fail to duck when Vesna ducks.]
-Let Anna stop the train before Belgrade. [Two endings are listed in the chapter. One is fail to reach the locomotive by 5:50am. The other is to let Anna stop the train after killing Milos. Both are separate from the next one.]
-Go to the locomotive before you unhook the cars. (Anna stops the train.)
-Leave either the Firebird or the whistle in the chest in your compartment when you unhook the cars.
-Fail to take the Firebird to Kronos in time; Kahina kills you.
-Fail to open the Firebird in time; Kronos loses his patience and Kahina kills you.
-Fail to close the Firebird in time; Kronos shoots you.
-Obey Kronos and close the Firebird instead of blowing the whistle.

I'll continue to review the guide to see if I can find any more and update this list. If anyone else also has this guide, I would appreciate any help I can get in finding more endings. If any changes are made, I will list them below.

[Thalion]

blacksheepghost I've done all those except pulling the alarm in every single chapter, and still no joy :( I've also died more than 101 times by doing diverse suicidal actions, so maybe we're still missing something.
