Can I just disable Vita Chambers?

Can I just disable the Vita Chambers for "I Choose the Impossible" achievement?

[Rascal]

Yes, you can. There is an option in the settings menu.

Yes, I saw the option. I'm asking whether it locks the achievements or not.

Oh, no. It's there for the achievements.

Ok thanks a lot :)

I'm not sure if it's possible to get that achievement right now though. I've seen people reporting that when they restart the game the find their difficulty has been reset to normal or something like that. Can you confirm?

I've been wanting to play through this remastered version since release but have been waiting for that to be patched out so I don't find myself halfway through the hardest difficulty playthrough only to find I wasted my time and can't get the achievement.

When in doubt, do it in one session... that is if you don't crash.

I don't speak for everyone because lots of people have been getting nasty bugs for it but I got the no Vita-chambers achievements when I did my playthrough for it.

Sorry I merged two achievements in my head. The vita chamber one and the hardest difficulty one.

The game probably remembers that you never respawned with a vita chamber.
The resetting difficulty glitch would only affect the difficulty achievement. Did you complete the game on Survivor difficulty in more than one session and get the achievement?

I got A Man chooses, I Chose the Impossible, Brass Balls, and Seriously Good at This all in one session of Survivor with Vitas disabled. From start to finish without crashes.

The game does not save its settings to the config file, so when the game is closed and re-opened the difficulty and vita chamber options and everything else is reset. You can modify the config files the way you like (recommended) before starting achievement hunting.

There are no repercussions for loading your save from the death screen. It won't tag your save with a death counter or anything like that.
Fortunately they carefully worded the achievement, mentioning that you will get it for meeting the requirements "without using a vita-chamber" rather than without dying.

Apparently these achievements are not well monitored by the game, and you can obtain them by changing the game to survivor difficulty RIGHT before you finish and they will be applied, so technically if your save file does load up as normal, you can just go to the pause menu and correct it and you won't be affected.

If like me you want to be sure of it though, simply start a new game on Survivor, pause, and load up your Suvivor save file from THERE and it will remain on Survivor mode.

For the record, turning vita-chambers off simply means you're sent back to the menu when you die. Really it's better to leave them on and just reload your game after respawning, that way if you decide the challenge is too much for you, you can just say "screw it", not reload and just leave the vita chamber and continue your game without the achievement.
