Ghost Files 2: Memory of a Crime, 100% achievement guide, collectables locations and complete video walkthrough earning all achievements and showing all mini-game puzzle, hidden object scene solutions and collectable locations.

Bugs.

During my playthrough of Ghost Files 2: Memory of a Crime I encountered one minor bug, the game states that there are 14 Floppy Disks to collect, there are however 15.

When you collect the 13th, you get a popup stating 13/14 collected.
When you collect the 14th, you get a popup again stating 13/14 collected.
When you collect the 15th and final Floppy Disk, you get a popup stating 14/14 collected.

Hardly game breaking, but if you are not aware, it could lead to you missing out on the "Collector" achievement.

Notes.

Ghost Files 2: Memory of a Crime has a total of 23 Steam achievements, of these 10 are story related and the remaining 13 achievements are missable, as for completion time, this is in the region of 4-5 hours.

MAIN GAME.

• There are no achievements relating to difficulty in Ghost Files 2: Memory of a Crime so select whichever suits your mood.

• While there is a tutorial, there are no achievements relating to playing with or without the tutorial.

• There are no achievements relating to the cut scenes, watch them or not, the choice is yours.

• Do not skip any of the mini-game puzzles in the main game. There is an achievement for completing all mini-game puzzles in the main game without skipping any. There is an additional achievement earned for completing a mini-game in less than 60 seconds.

• As for hidden object scenes, this is a break from the norm. There is an achievement for completing 1 without using hints and another achievement for completing 3 without using hints, strangely however, there is no achievement for completing all scenes without using hints. So I guess you are free to use hints if you wish once the "Straight Shooter" achievement has popped.
  
  There are however additional achievements earned for completing a scene in less than 60 seconds, another for completing a scene without mistakes and another earned for locating 3 items in 3 seconds during a scene.

• Collectables, there are three sets of collectables to find in Ghost Files 2: Memory of a Crime. 15 Floppy Disks, 16 Hats and 31 Morphing Smoking pipes. It should be noted that for achievement purposes the Floppy Disks and Hats are "Collectables" and the Smoking Pipes are "Morphing Objects".
  
  There is an achievement for locating your first "Collectable", another achievement for locating your first "Morphing Object", another achievement for locating 15 "Collectables", another for collecting 15 "Morphing Objects", another for collecting all 31 "Collectables" and a final achievement earned for collecting all 31 "Morphing Objects".

BONUS CHAPTER.
There are no specific achievements relating to the bonus chapter and nor are there any collectables. Sadly, I am unable to confirm if any of the achievements can be unlocked within the bonus chapter as I had unlocked 100% achievements during the main game.

Collectables.

There are 3 sets of collectables to find in Ghost Files 2: Memory of a Crime with 6 achievements earned for collecting all 62 of them...
15 Floppy Disks (Collectable)
16 Hats (Collectable)
31 Smoking Pipes (Morphing Objects)

Please be aware that the game clearly states that there are only 14 Floppy Disks to collect, this is false, there are 15. Please refer to the "Bugs" chapter of this guide for further details.

Achievement Guide.

Note that Recollection, Forensic Novice, Forensic Master, Firefighter, Case Closed, Unburied, Memory Lane, Savior, The Machinist, True Detective achievements are all story related achievements earned as part of your natural progression.

***28th Dec 2021 My good friend Zilleo has confirmed that it is indeed possible to earn hidden object scene related achievements within the bonus chapter, I would still advise trying to get them all before the bonus chapter however.***

	On Your Own.	Complete a Hidden Object Puzzle without a Hint. This achievement will pop after completing a hidden object scene without using a hint.
	Passer-by.	Find one Collectible. This achievement will pop after collecting your first collectable Floppy Disk or Hat. Please refer to the collectables chapter of this guide for the locations of all collectables. I have also added time indexes for my video walkthrough with the locations of all collectables.
	Keen Eye.	Find one Morphing Object. This achievement will pop after collecting your first collectable Morphing Smoking Pipe. Please refer to the collectables chapter of this guide for the locations of all collectables. I have also added time indexes for my video walkthrough with the locations of all collectables.
	Triple Shot.	Find 3 Hidden Objects within 3 seconds. To earn this achievement, during a hidden object scene, locate (by clicking on) three of the items listed at the bottom of the scene in three seconds. This is easily done, just pause for a moment at the start of a scene, locate and memorise the location of three items and then quickly click on all three in quick succession.
	Straight Shooter.	Finish 3 Hidden Object Puzzles without a Hint. This achievement will pop after completing three hidden object scenes without using a hint.
	Time Stands Still.	Complete a Minigame in less than a minute. To earn this achievement you must complete a mini-game puzzle in less than 60 seconds. There are 19 opportunities to earn this achievement during the main game, of these there are at least 4 that can easily be completed very quickly (Puzzle #5, #11, #18 & #19).
	Steady Hand.	Complete a Hidden Object Puzzle without a mistake. To earn this achievement you must complete one hidden object scene without making any mistakes. A mistake is clicking on anything in the scene that is not on the list at the bottom of the scene.

There are 19 opportunities to earn this achievement during the main game, of these there are at least 3 that can easily be completed. (Puzzle #12, #14 & #19). I am unsure if this can be earned in the bonus chapter, as such if you are in danger of missing this achievement, I have added time stamps for all hidden object scenes in my walkthrough should you want to prime yourself in advance.
