Take It WIth You achievement - spoilers within

[Malygris]

My understanding is that the Take It With You achievement is earned by offering to take Milton with you when you ascend, but when I select that option after passing through the gates at the top of the tower, but when I select that option, he declines, and nothing happens. Have I missed something, or am I just misunderstanding what actually triggers the achievement?

[The_Hunted_One]

For some reason, the achievement is not listed on my achievement list, only when I view all global achievement stats does it show up

[Malygris]

Yeah, I have the same issue. But the global stats indicate that some people are getting it, and the criteria seems to be simply that you offer to take Milton with you. Which I've done, twice now, to no effect. I'm not chasing all the achievements, in fact this will likely be the last one, but it seems that I should be getting it, and so I want it. :)

Seems like I can't help you - there seems to be a difference in what "offer" means to you, from everyone else.

Deal with the Deceiver - Accept Milton's offer
Take It With You - End the Tower ending with Milton

Because I don't know what's wrong, I can't really help.

This is a pure guess, but maybe your answers to his philosophy questions earlier in the game made him decline your offer (e.g. about morality, humanity... etc?)

The problem is, you don't offer anything to Milton - he always initiates it on you. Regardless of if you decline or not, you can still choose to import him in in the Tower ending.

I just finished the game too, and I selected that option too (He declined).

I think it is something with the early content. For ex: I did get him really upset when the game allowed me to do it. (That was an other archievement too). Maybe you don't have to do that (?).

Anyways, I'll do the game again becouse I really want to get that one too. If I have some new info, I'll let you know. Anyways, I really think we have to give him friendly answers when its posible to do it.

I completely understand your issues now. You see, you never actually got an offer from Milton at that point in the game - you are not supposed to be on "Press the Serpent" path, you're supposed to be on "Deal with the Deceiver" path. You'll have to fit with his nihilist personality to get the offer.

[Malygris]

That makes sense, then, because I did get the "Press the Serpent" cheevo, so I suppose he's bound to spurn my offer to bring him along. I guess that's it, then: I'm curious how the other paths work out, but I don't really feel like hammering through 120 puzzles just to read through some minor narrative changes. Too bad there's not a post-completion option to read and play through all the computers, without having to muck around with the puzzles in the process. Be fun to be able to really dig into that side of the game without being forced through a full replay.

I have all of the serpent achievements in my game except for Take It With You. All of my backups are checkpoints with unlocking floor 6. Does that mean I unfortunately have to make a new game to get to that path?

[Latharion]

It depends on how far along you are in the conversation with Milton. If you did not begin the conversation until after you finished the 6th floor, you should be fine. The "Take it With You" achievement is depends on how you end the conversation with Milton. If you do need to restart the game, simply avoid using any of the terminals until you are finished collecting all of the sigils. Also, there is a guide you can follow to help guarantee that you will successfully get that achievement. It is located here...
