Is it possible to get all collectables whilst also fulfilling conditions for Forest Child?

Doing some stupid achievement routing, need to know if it's possible to get all the collectables in Taiga while completely avoiding human enemies or if some are impossible.

If you are not playing on Ranger Hardcore or using Iron mode option then yes - it's possible.

Just make a quick save before entering the bandit camp from the underground, get those collectibles in the camp (there are 2 of them as far as I can remember). Then load your quicksave and pass the camp without attacking anyone straight to the church by taking the leftmost rout.

The game saves any collectible you found, even if you load a previous save.

Ah, I figured that might be the case—technically possible. No way to get in undetected, huh...
I'll have to revise my plan, thanks.

You'll have to play it at least twice OP. That bandit camp mentioned by @awg has a karma point (rescue a prisoner) that requires you to kill all of the bandits first. So if you're looking for good deeds on your 2nd run, that's one of them.

I've already done a playthrough, saved that guy. But yeah I do need 2 runs anyway for other reasons lol

Ok I just realized NG+ actually maintains your collectables so I should actually be able to finish the achievement in the same playthrough as Forest Child long as I get any inaccessible ones on my prior run.

Currently going for Librarian and Old World Pictures. You can totally save before a tricky area, load your save and just keeping your note or postcard.
