Thanks

[festeringdesire]

idk this guide was rly confusing to me. in some sections the OP doesnt specify who's room we have to enter f.e or when u r at Sam's shipyard you cant just talk to sam and then grab the oil. you first have to read the torn letter on the table to the left and then talk to him 3 or 4 times. imo the collectibles should go first and then the achievements. missed A LOT of them on my first run cause i continued the story and then saw that i should have picked up a collectible. found myself googling half of the time cause there were no directions in this guide. you just put some pictures and words without giving any other information...

[MADDOG]

Quality guide, helped me to 100% with ease.

["G008"]

that was very helpful thanks

[CorvusCorax]

I appreciate the guide but not everything is covered in detail. For instance, when it comes to the tiara: where are these puzzles and how do you trigger them?

I already have the box opened and four drawings I can work with. They are in the corner. So where are these 3 puzzles you're mentioning? Appreciate the solution you put there but you haven't added any other information.

[mothballer]

@necromaxic oo congrats ur a bad sibling all on ur own

[Necromaxic]

"The rarest achievement" I got it on my first playthrough and didn't make any of those suggested choices...

[Old Timer]

Same as TreeTrunk here. Not sure about the last achievement, maybe it has more variables.

[TreeTrunk]

I told the truth to Eddy, then believed Tom's version, and I got Lock and Go ending

[wuthering20]

I believed Tom's version but got the "Lock-up-and-go" ending. Maybe it's a mistake?
