Sharing What We Need to do for Achievements
EDIT: Thread dedicated to solving all missable achievements.

A full guide is available now, so there isn't much more discussion needed.

Ah, the achievement guide finally posted through. I guess it was just processing at the time.

Looks like a hole in the wall, now that I'm looking at it more closely.

I got the surely he has some other purpose achievement by using Byers on the kitchen door in Dammek's hive. Unsure if it was because I used Byers on enough objects or if there's some other trigger.
QuatermassAU Sep 14, 2017 @ 5:32pm 
Never mind, actually managed to find it.
the_raiser2000 Sep 14, 2017 @ 5:34pm 
It could just be use Byers on 30 different objects. The specific object I used it on (the hand) had dialogue stating I should stop using him on things, so that's why I thought it was the hand. Did you get the same dialogue, Red?

Nah, just some normal dialogue about "I could use him as a distraction?" in regards to the lusus.

Regardless, the achievement literal had the number 30 on the design, so it's safe to say that 30 objects is the trigger.

I was able to add these two to your list, if others can confirm them as both are rather iffy.

A friend of mine has said that the long gone birds achievement is gotten by examining the cage each time you send a bird out, instead of just once it's empty. I'll try after I'm done with this run.

This is probably it, because i've checked the cage ONLY after it's empty and not in-between birds and I didn't get this achievement.
