Third Street Guide

How to get the (currently) rarest achievement in the game.

Introduction

Third Street is a hidden achievement which requires breaking every monitor in the Cronus Frontier campaign. In theory, this is easy enough to do - there are no difficulty requirements, the monitors glow, and they break from ANY source of damage (whether from the player or from auto-ops). However, the screens don't stand out much from other wall decorations, some of the monitors are tucked away in secret side areas, and worst of all, there is no progress meter or indication for success/failure until you complete the final level, thanks to its status as a hidden achievement. It's for these reasons that Third Street is currently the achievement with the lowest completion rate in the game.

This achievement is only awarded after you complete the game, which means you MUST get this achievement on one playthrough from level 1 to 16. Saving and loading is OK, but going back afterwards on a seperate playthrough and destroying only monitors you missed won't work. I have not confirmed if this achievement works on New Game+. Go for this on an NG+ file at your own risk!

DISCLAIMER - It's entirely possible that I missed a monitor that, by chance, got destroyed by an auto-op. If you find any monitors not listed in the guide or fail to get the achievement after destroying all of these, please let me know!

1 - Ymir Outpost

The first monitor is right at the start - go up the first vertical shaft and turn around.


The next two are in the next room with the free upgrade point.


Three more are in the room where you fight the first goblins.


Another two by the incomplete Cryostasis room.


The next one is quite a bit further in, just outside the energy center.


Two more right by the emergency exit.

The last monitor is in a secret area. Shoot the switch in a hidden compartment in the ceiling by the Level 2 Security Door (right by what's generally the last Gorgon you'll kill to clear the level). This unlocks another nearby secret in the ceiling with an upgrade point and a shortcut to the surface. Make sure to get this BEFORE moving too high up and triggering the end of the level!

2 - Tarvos Outpost

First one's right at the start before you head downward.

Next one's just outside the Cryotube room.

Third one's in the small connecting room leading to the first security key.

Next one's in a secret room found in the floor immediately afterwards.

One right by the first security key.

After the narrow downward curving hallway past the first security door, there's one on the back wall.
Next one's right through the level 2 access door.

There's one right after the energy center.

Last two are by the room with the fabricator + upgrade point.

3 - Skoll Outpost

First one's just after the starting vertical shaft, by the locked access door.

Next one's close by, near the upgrade point and first energy center.

Right by the first access key.

Next one's just a little bit inside the first locked security door you passed earlier, close to the cryoroom.

In a secret area just across from the Level 2 security door. The door is in the wall and shouldn't be too hard to spot.

Just past the Level 2 security door, opposite of the lockdown room.
Last one is inside the lockdown room.

4 - Phoebe Refinery

Two are opposite each other in the tall shaft with one of the two first security keys.

One in a secret room right by the security key. You can get in there via a secret door in the ceiling nearby, but should be able to shoot it through the grates without entering as well.

Two right by the Cryoroom.

Two by the third security key.

Two by the reactor.

5 - Phoebe Complex

Immediately near the start, on the left.

Near the first one, through the door in the floor.

Just outside the mandatory lockdown for another security key.

Two inside said lockdown event.

Two by the lava pit with the upgrade point, fairly close to the third key.

One outside the Cryoroom.

There are a whopping 5 monitors in the secret lockdown area.

6 - Titan Observatory

Immediately at the start - just turn around.

Two are in the upper room shortly after, one above the other.

Another two after the rocky cave section, somewhat close to the second security key.

One in the secret area by the second security door. To access it, go down from the shielded generator and turn around to find a switch. Shoot it to lower the generator's shield. Destory that, then go back to the first switch again. The forcefield below is now lowered, and you can shoot another switch through that. Double back through the security door to where the Overdrive pickup was. The forcefield there should be disabled, allowing you access to the Super Upgrade point and this monitor.
