Yet Another "You'll Never Take Me Alive" Topic
I've watched a video where someone enters the 3 story house, goes upstairs, starts to get chased, and jumps off the 2nd story balcony.

I try it and get nothing.

I've watched a video where someone goes downstairs, uses a hand to warp across a gap, then takes some path to a completely different balcony to jump off of.

I try it and after the hand warp the area I arrive at doesn't look anything like the area in the video.

That's because that area was changed to be made easier to navigate. The balcony at the end of the path is still there though, and seems to be the most consistent way to get the achievement.

Had to drop the device a few times to go into wire frame and figure out where I was going since I couldn't follow any landmarks in the video. I found an inhabitant guarding the post that activates the indoor bridge and a balcony just around the corner. Jumped as the inhabitant was skulking toward me and got the achievement.

I keep failing. I think so far I got woken like 20 times trying to get this. I don't think walking is enough, I always keep jumping. Most of my attempts were on endless canyon. First I tried to mess with the pursuer who is under the indoor bridge. These end two ways. I either fall into the water or the pursuer grabs me after I already flew 5 meters, making me snap back into their face. This happened most of the time when I tried to jump the balcony or the upper bridge guards. When I do fall into the water there is no achievement. I know I need them to actually chase after me. None of the videos I found helped.

Does anyone know what I might be missing here?

I managed to get the achievement, and recorded the last (albeit kinda unhelpful) 20 seconds of the successful attempt. Steps are:

1. Enter via damaged laboratory

2. Go to endless canyon

3. Extinguish lights via illusion painting and then light the bridge for access to main building

4. Cross the bridge and go down the stairs, then continue forward and to the right until you encounter more stairs leading down and to the left

5. Cross the gap via the hand, and get around the Owelk at the bottom, guarding the bridge

HERES THE IMPORTANT PART
You will not trigger the Owelks to start chasing you until you walk close enough to see their faces in your lantern light, or if you focus the beam at them. You can walk close enough to them to see the artifact in their hands, even with yours lighting up the area in front of you.

6. Go up the stairs behind the Owelk at the bridge, then hang left up another flight of stairs.

6 1/2. If you need to, drop the artifact and take a look around the upper area in wireframe mode. You will not trigger the Owelk in the restaurant unless you shine your lantern at them or touch them.

7. Go right around the central dividing wall and hang right until you get to the balcony you see at the beginning of the video .

8. Get yourself situated on the railing so you can walk off easily and then shine your light at the Owelk. It should approach and if you time it correctly (as shown in the video ) you should get the achievement when you walk off the railing.
