If the guide helped you any way please respect my work, my time spent on it and hit thumbs up for the guide and let the video run on youtube from the start until the end, eventually open it on your other devices and subscribe:-D No advertisements on the video tho and never will be any by me.

This guide was created by Average Achievement Curator group.

Follow my curator if you like to see achievement related informations (completion time, difficulty to get all achievements) on store page of the games.

https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30168383-Average-Achievement-Hunter/

The curator group dont mark any game as recommended so it shows useful information about achievements on the store page of the games without influencing the main store page of steam with recommendations + all games sorted to lists based on expected completion times. No point not to follow!:-)

Video walkthrough

The video is nightmare walkthrough until 47th mins, then it is normal for the last 2 bossfights/events as, i think, the DingXian battle is impossible right now on nightmare because of the bonus to ghost walk speed and because of the battle mechanics. Edit: Since that i managed to finish nightmare so it is doable.

Difficulty achievements

Not sure you can unlock normal mode achievement if you finish game only on nightmare, please confirm if it possible. Thanks

The Last Step
Climb the last stage stairs

This is actually for finishing the game on any difficulty.

Just the Beginning
Finished the game on normal mode

Goodnight, My Friend
Finished the game on Nightmare mode

Highest Rating
Get S rating

Not sure what the requirements to get S rating, only available on nightmare that is sure, 8 save and 3 deaths was enough tho, please post your stats to find a more closer value!



The Over Is Just Begin
Unlock all other trophies

This is actually not a difficulty achievement but as definetly the nightmare/S rating will be your last one i post it here. I personally don't like such achievements because if you can't complete 1 then you already locked out from 2!

0:56:50 game time, nightmare mode, 9 saves, 0 deaths, 88% documents, and that gave S rank

[Сa†holiс]

I've run the game 1:10:00, nightmare mode, saves 3, deaths 0 and got only A rank. Document stats were over 68% I guess. I've restarted last save and picked up one small piece of document, and guess what, I've finished the game with S rank. Document stats 71%

[NoMore]

@Csontzuzo you can get the s rank on normal mode

[NoMore]

Thank you for the guide, it helped a lot :)

[Csontzuzo]

Th3Birdo, i replayed the game and created screenshot about all "all staff members" collectible too, there is one which exclusive and can't get later if skipped, which is in the Trap Room, i believe thats the one most of the players miss.

[Csontzuzo]

Th3Birdo, i dont have screenshoot of the nondiary collectibles, i'll try to replay the game during the weekend and add those collectibles to the guide, but it is already all collected in the video.

[Th3Birdo]

Thank you so much for all the information. However, could it be possible if you put the images to obtain the "All staff members" trophy? Thank you again

[Csontzuzo]

Hi Behemothbear, sorry for the late answer, I remembered so that I answered your question but now as I checked the guide I realized I missed that part. I don't remember anymore for that puzzle, I am not sure anymore but I think there was a hint where the Chinese-like symbols looked like numbers and that indicated which symbols you need to choose for that puzzle.

[Behemothbear]

Could you explain the puzzle @ 45:55 in the video? I feel it needs its own guide.
