Hello, I just want to tell that there miss an achivement. It is called "Who is the Boogie now?" or something like that and it is get by losing a fight with Boogie at the end of the game (I suppose that it can be achieved in any of the endings where is a final battle, I got it in good end).

Come Home Shorn works with the knight statues as of 20/7/21.

"Come Home Shorn" really doesn't work, trying with the doll, the spikes, the knight statues(that i can't even get in the room), and nothing. It's strange because some people have this achievement, i guess this must be a bug that come with an update :/

TX-RRR
Sorry I remembered wrong actually, you have to walk out the door and take a right and just follow the hall until you reach the end on the far left. Kind like if you were walkin in a circle. There will be a doll there to kill Keith.

Hi AmberPhantomhive
I have tried that return the room with the knight statues,but i cannot enter in.
AmberPhantomhive Sep 2, 2020 @ 12:38pm

What I did is while the count down started, I went over to where the knight statues are and had Keith killed. I had it after that. If you still don't receive the achievement, you may have to restart the whole story over.

i can't get the "Come Home Shorn" .......after the count-down or draw role into the sharp thorn trap.

Answered my own question. I did a speed run trying to figure it out, and the achievement finally popped for me. After the sewer scene where you pick up the recorder and the note and hear the recording of Helena, the recorder will still be on the ground. When I examined it a second time after listening to the recording, it will say something like "an IC recorder and a note." Then I got the achievement.

I'm having trouble with the "Ready to be Happy" achievement. I got the good ending and everything, and it's the only achievement I'm missing. I can't figure out why it didn't pop for me if I got the good ending? I would have had to get all the flags to get the good ending, right? I went back and checked the walkthrough and I did everything, the only thing that was different is that I did the scene where David helps Keith get into the sewer area a bit earlier than the walkthrough said to, but the scene played out the way it was supposed to. What am I missing? It's really frustrating that it's the only one I didn't get...
