Tears Of Shame achievement: Kill & Skin tamed beast [RESOLVED]

[Henrimagne]

Hi
On several occasions now I've killed and skinned some of my tamed animals, especially when they turn on me when I accidentally injure them with arrows or spears. Yet, the achievement hasn't unlocked for me. I've also simply "killed" some of my animals outright without them attacking me first, which only allows you to heal it again.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem for other players as well?

I got it ok. I just summoned a Dhole and then while crying tears of shame I kept stabbing him in the face with my spear until he died. The worst part is he stood there the entire time and never attacked me or tried to run. I think it is time for me to go to an achievement anonymous meeting.

I need to go with you to that meeting, because it's ... it's HARD, man ... I don't like killing my animals (sniff). The look in their faces. The eyes, man, the eyes! Looking at you as if to say: But I trusted you, you bloody caveman. What the hell are you doing. Please. Pleaaase stop!!" ... And then everything is quiet ... and I can only hear the moaning of the wind ...

But seriously, am I the only one with this issue?

Ha ha me too, haven't been able to get the achievement either. Not easy to kill a poor animal that is there to help and protect you, even if it is an ugly one!

I have killed 5 of my tamed animals and I never got that achievement lol, F it, I don't need it.

Thanks, guys, So it seems to be a general problem (but it's only a problem if you really want the achievement). I'd still like to hear from other players though. Is there a sollution somewhere somehow and does Ubisoft know about this?

Hi

The issue has been RESOLVED and it's very easy. Can't believe I've missed it.
You call an animal from the beast list, then spear/arrow/club/kick/go ape-crazy on it until the 'heal' prompt appears. Then you just wait ... The white ring around the 'red skull heal prompt' will get shorter and shorter until the animal dies. (If you want to you can continue hitting the ball-bearings out of it, but it makes no difference.) Then skin. Easy as that.
For some reason I thought once you get the 'heal prompt' you can't kill it from there on, but that's exactly what happens when you're in a battle and you can't get to your injured beast quickly enough ... it dies.
