Game mechanics prevent me from achieving 100%

[PatTheDumbo]

My issue is that I am unable to obtain two achievements: "Apple of Discord" and "Shadows out of Time."

Apple of Discord:
I have collected every item in the game, so my only goal now is to finish up some achievements. One of these is to collect the apple on the desk in Marshall College, travel to a different area, and throw it at someone. However, here’s the problem: I can’t get the game to auto-save. Since I’ve already collected every item and the map is too small to transition into a new area, the game never triggers an auto-save. I’ve tried going to the blue marker on the map and running in circles around the building, but nothing I do results in a save.

Shadows out of Time:
At one point, I had collected 47 relics and traveled to Iraq, where I encountered the big door with the puzzles. I started placing the relics I had, assuming I needed all of them to fully open the door (you can probably guess where this is going). I left the relics in the door while I gathered the last three. Once I placed the final relics into the door, I unlocked the final scene. However, since I never had all 50 relics in my inventory at the same time, the game didn’t register it, and I didn’t earn the achievement.

Now, all my relics are stuck in the ground, completely out of reach. I can’t roll back to an earlier point where the door was still open. Does this mean my only option is to replay the entire game for these achievements?

For the auto save issue, it can trigger if you walk on some areas of the map. There is an apple also in the Vatican area so you don't need to pick up at the college.

For the last one, yea, I am not sure, sorry.

I’m experiencing the same issue with the relics—I never got the achievement because I opened the door during "two moves" runs.

IF YOU’RE LUCKY, you might have an older save file and can reload to the moment just before placing the rest of your relics into the door. This way, you can retrieve the ones you already inserted and try again. You can access your older save files (up to 3) from the main menu.

Unfortunately, in my case, I don’t have a save file that’s old enough, so this workaround doesn’t work for me.

The apple achievement, however, is easy to get by collecting some apples from the tents in the main plaza of the Vatican.

If you find another solution for the "Shadow Out of Time" achievement, please let me know!

For the first achievement, there are apples in the Vatican. You don't need to grab one in Marshall college. I don't remember where I found one but I did that achievement while back tracking for collectables.

The apples are in the Vatican tent not behind the chain-link fence - look closely in the dark corners on a plate. Using the black shirt disguise makes it easy.
