All Collectibles, Upgrades, Achievements and Morality, a Comprehensive Guide (DLC'S INCLUDED)

This is a massive walkthrough condensing all info in one comprehensive linear guide, in the most convenient way through your playthrough. It contains section maps and guidance for the open areas, while being easy to access via atl+tab to steam's guides. You won't find nothing so detailed on the web.

I have already countless hours on the regular version of this game in a few different platforms. But, in my endeavor to feed my completionist obsession, I had to make use of several different guides, none convenient or easy to access in this hard-to-go-back-to desktop game. This guide exists to mitigate all those annoyances one I hope you have fun with. If it helps you, please thumbs up..

This Guide is Also Available for the Enhanced Version of the game.

Introduction

This Guide is considered COMPLETE for the main story and BOTH DLC's; The Two Colonels and Sam's Story

• However if you find any inaccuracy or typos, let me know in the comment section. This was a massive project and it's has flaws for sure.

I had much fun making this guide, tbh, I wish I had it in my previous runs on the normal version. Alt+tab is a great privilege in this game cause it's really hard switching back to desktop. So my goal number one was to make a guide easy to access in-game, and only steam can provide that.

Then I wanted a guide you can follow seamlessly in an open world without searching back and forth for a specific item on some index; I've long scratched my head about that.

So, on linear Chapters, there's was no fuss about how to lay the items, but in the Volga and Caspian (open) chapters, I've made a Item location guide with a suggested picking order based on the story playtrough with a progression map to help you step-by-step; It might differ from your progression choices, but it's not far off for sure, easy enough for you to travel to the next most likely item while giving you the freedom to explore on your own, referring only to the specific item section if you have trouble finding the item.[/b]

The Morality actions you get them "first thing" in every chapter, although it might spoil some of the story, it prevents you doing something you'll regret after reaching a given milestone. I'll try to disclose the less possible.

The achievements are mentioned in the chapter which they apply; the story related (unmissable through story progression), but also the ones you can get as soon as in that chapter, so you can achieve the most of it sooner and prevent future replays to farm them.

If by any chance you're fond off my screenshots and would like to experience the same. Let me know on comments and I'll share the Reshade Presets.

Have fun, and make the most out of it. It was my pleasure. If you find it useful on your travels, please click thumbs-up to help make it available for more players.

Credits

First things first.

A big thanks to 4A games for pushing the boundaries of videogames quality, regarding gameplay, story writing, and especially visuals. It's the first game I bought in two different stores, and the only one I ever wanted to make a guide to help other players to experience all of it.

I want to mention @the horror network's amazing 100% Achievement Guide for the normal version oft this game; a guide I used as reference every time.

But mostly, I want to credit @Marley The Buffalo Soldier and the guide he made for the previous games, especially the Metro: Last Light Redux Full Walkthrough witch inspired me to make something at least as good as his.

As for the rest, I read several guides back in the days, but I'll mention the best ones I returned frequently for some specific guidance.

For my first playtroughs on the normal version I remember using @sellers collectibles guide from powerpyx, so I must credit him.

For the moral points I followed @Kevin Thielenhaus from gameranx guide to help me getting the best ending. Kudos to his fine job.

and now I'm at peace with all of it...

Morality System

Wiki a écrit :

Moral Points form a hidden system in the Metro video game series that follows Artyom's progress and affects the ending of each game. This system is never explained to the player and its mechanics can only be speculated about. As Metro is about Artyom's journey and him seeking to understand the world around him, the game rewards the player by guiding Artyom through experiences that help him better understand the metro and its strange phenomena.

It is commonly understood that every time Artyom gets a moral point, the screen flashes light blue and whispers or the sound of water dripping can be heard. When Artyom loses a moral point, the screen darkens and an ominous sound can be heard. There are more opportunities to gain moral points than to lose them, and moral points that are gained and lost are speculated to vary in severity. Moral points can be gained through making morally correct decisions, being stealthy in certain levels, but can also be awarded for exploring every part of the map to get weapons and supplies. The best way to gain moral points is to knock out enemies and spare lives when possible - doing so will almost always activate the good endings.

There is no telling how many moral points are required to get the good ending since the statistics are hidden; however, making wrong choices or going loud in the levels that require stealth will likely cause the player to not gain enough moral points to trigger the good ending.

As with the previous games, In Metro Exodus, Artyom is awarded points for doing good deeds or doing certain deeds. Unlike its predecessors, listening in on conversations does not affect moral points, and instead can be used to gain locations to stashes.

Moral points are also present in the Sam's Story DLC, but instead of indicating good deeds, they reflect actions taken by Sam to gain the Captain's trust. Completing all actions will gain the A Man of Principle achievement.

So, if you're after the good ending, make use of the following behavior when playing, transversal to all chapters. It's easy to figure it out if your goal is the bad boy ending.

• Use stealth and avoid combat whenever possible.
  
• If needed, use knockout without killing.
  
• When an enemy surrenders, always spare them

*Don't worry, during gun-fights that can't be avoided there here is no morality penalty for killing enemies

Achievements - Endings, X Playthroughts and Farming

In this section you make first contact with the achievements you get after completing the game once, the ones you need multiple playtroughs and the ones you better start farming from the start.

Here's some guidance.


Your Destination: good ending.
You know this one, save everyone, get most of the morality points, behave yourself and don't kill chapter's factions members. Refer to specific chapter morality and crew missions[ [/i]


Eternal Voyage: the bad one.
Easy figure, go opposite from the previous, also, refer to specific chapter morality and crew missions.


Hardcore: Complete the game in Ranger Hardcore mode. And you'll need more than a "Cross and Prayer", that's for sure. But stealth is indeed the keyword here


Mutation: Complete the game in New Game+ mode using any modification. (Iron mod counts as mod)


Iron Mode: It's a pain I know. If you die you start from the beginning of the chapter. I recommend going readers mode for this one.


Toy seller: Find 3 toys in New Game+ mode: teddy bear, sun and fish.
Use the New game + mode plus the Iron Mode while farming this one. You can choose readers difficulty. In fact there's more then one location for the 3 toys, albeit in the same level/chapter. I'll describe just one with screenshots cause there isn't a point to screen them all.

• The Fish is on Volga, where you get the Fisherman achievement. It's i the middle of the boat standing upright against a wall
  
  Alt. location: in a shack made out of old train parts below the train tracks east of Duke and on your way to the Gas Station.
  
  
• The Sun is on Caspian. It's in the Hermit's ship on a shelf filled with cardboard boxes.
  
  Alt. location: at the start of the water trunk with Damir and before you slide down the old village, go left and jump to the area below. I the middle there's a pole with the Sun on it.
  
  
• The Bear is on Taiga, in the first schoolhouse at the beginning of the level before the bridge hanging from a window frame.
  
  Alt. location: The bear can be also found hanging from a big wall map behind the Admiral, when you to meet him.

Regarding the previous achievements, there's no other way around, and the fastest way to get them all is the one suggested by @THN in his guide.

- Playthrough One: Go for bad ending (no stealth required) on Reader difficulty while picking up all collectibles and completing as many other achievements as possible.

- Playthrough Two:Go for good ending (a lot of stealth required) while keeping all 3 crew members alive on Ranger Hardcore mode, just focus on main story and speed it.

- Playthrough Three: New Game+ Mode on Reader difficulty with Iron Mode enabled since on Mode counts as a modifier.

There's also other achievements witch I recommended you farm trough out the chapters.


Tidyman This is a pain of an achievement. However it's possible to get it in one playtrough if you go all the way till Sam's Story DLC where's plenty of water, puddles and flooded buildings to mess your weapons. My advice tho, is make the most progress you can in the Volga Chapter too. Jump into mud ponds like a child, throw your self on the water, and clean your weapons every time you find a crafting table. Sam's story DLC provides plenty of ponds, sewers or water channels for you to make a mess of your weapons, so take that in mind if you still need to farm it by the end of the main story.


Headhunter: If you are running the boy scout mode it might be difficult to farm for this on 1 single playthrough. It's a good the game does consider cannibals as humans, witch is... actually accurate, Regarding this guys, use the first ambush has canon fodder for this achievement; save, empty your ammo clip, load, empty your clip... rinse and repeat as long as you will. Other than that, swipe clean every bandit on Volga and use the unavoidable script gunfights to farm some kills, like the ones in Caspian on the crane or when approaching the oasis. Save kill. Load kill... You know the drill. Again, Sam's story DLC provides plenty of human targets with no moral penalty, so take that in mind if you still need some kill counts by the end of the main story.


Professional: Make at least one kill with every ranged weapon.

Take out a guard soon you enter last car and go below the metal grid where's the machine gun manned with 3 soldiers.

Don't forget to detach the train car's while doing it for the secret achievement.

Duke: Make sure your learn something from last year's events and apply some tolerance with the locals, keep the good terms with the Tsar-fish worshipers and play completely stealthy during the short mass service in the beginning and also in the longer last part of the chapter. Reload if spotted.


Last Breath: It doesn't come naturally if you make sure you pick or craft enough filters. Go to an hazardous zone, save the game, open the backpack, dismantle every filter you have, after time runs out, craft a filter, et voilá.

Try to figure it out yourself, you don't need a masters degree, and you'll feel great afterwards.


Gunsmith: It's easy to dispatch this one as soon as in this chapter, just make sure to change all 5 mods slots on one weapon. My advice, use the binoculars to tag loot spots as soon as Krest gives it to you (zoom in, scan horizon, search for the click, wait for the tag) . Go loot those mods, and go play with your portable crafting backpack


Silent marksman: If you use your Tikhar in this level (tbh a good option) play mostly at night and kill the watchers an humanoids monsters with it (one head-shot preferably), There's plenty for the achievement


Handyman: I got the achievement in this Chapter just by crafting filters, med-kits, and some metal balls while I was strolling for this guide Screenshots.

The Caspian - Morality Actions

• Don’t kill any slaves!
  
  
• At the start of the Chapter, while checking the radio tower, don’t kill the soldier that ambushes you on the rooftop.
  
  
• Complete it the side-quest he gives you LATER (I mean that safe house you need to sleep in order to trigger the interaction in the chapter)
  
  
• Use non-lethal take-downs on all the guards at the Mine/Cave even to the ones attacking Giul. You'll gain the point as soon you start the elevator up to the Lighthouse
  
  
• Apply the same behavior visiting Shipwreck Slave Camp, only that way you save the slaves.
  
  
• Liberate the Prison (another Shipwreck) and release the prisoners.
  
  Recover the family photo for Giul in the Coms facility under the lighthouse where her mom used to work.
  
  
• Recover the water bowser undetected and with no kills, there's extra points to be gained if you release a couple prisoners guarded by a hound on the ground next to the truck with the water, but may not compensate for the risk of being detected.
  
  
• When infiltrating the fortress on the last mission you'll gain a point reaching the surface without killing or being detected. Saving a slave from his punisher midsection will grant you another point but then again, it'll turn, most likely, everyone hostil towards you.

The Caspian - Achievements

Driver: Story related, Unmissable, just drive the.... thing. I wonder if it's really unmissable!!


Complete road map: Story related, Unmissable

• Recover Giul's family photo from the underground bunker.
  
• Free the slaves in the prison ship without being detected till you pull the lever > on the command bridge <

• Reaching the Baron's fortress through the sewers, guess what?... don't hget detected till you open the door to outside

Roller coaster: Use the bucket lift to go up from the water basin in the Oasis mission.


Saboteur: It would be a pain if you had to "V" everyone to get this done, fortunately non-lethal ko's counts too. You probably gonna get it around this time.


Carmaheddon: Make 50 kills with the Bukhanka.


Dressed for Success: : If you followed this guide correctly you'll find the 12th suit upgrade in this chapter. Nice!


Antibiotic:: This one comes naturally, in my case it popped when I was splashing hummanimals with my Bukhanka.


Kaleidoscope: You only need the extra scope you get from the sniper on the big crane after checking on Anna. At night make 3 kills while wearing the mask, the night-vision goggles and a rifles equiped with that x6scope. Using NVG in the new enhanced version is pain since


Stand back: Use the crane mission after reuniting with Anna. After getting to the top, you'll be ambushed from below. Save, kill, load, kill... a couple a times should do it.

Professional: Make at least one kill with every ranged weapon. ongoing

So here's the guide from witch level you can find an use them.:

Tikhar: done
Helsing (crossbow): Taiga

The Taiga - Overview

Postcards: 5
Diary Pages: 18
Upgrades: 0

This Chapter has a linear progression, with few open areas to explore, or even return back once done. So take that in mind marking every item as "missable"

The Taiga - Morality Actions

• Save the guy tied to a pole, in the beginning.
  
  
• Don’t kill the forest tribe members. Sneak past them!
  
  
• Don’t attack the unarmed forest tribals or the hermit.
  
  
• Don’t kill wounded forest tribe members.
  
  
• You'll gain one bright point of moral superiority every time you make past a camp with pristine behavior, sneaky Dalai Lama; no kills and no detection (also useful for the Forest Child achievement)

The Taiga - Achievements

Sword of Damocles Unmissable; Just complete the TAIGA level


Alyosha If you go for the next achievement; Forest child, it's granted. I urge you to it. But you want to sweep clean all camps, make sure that you don't kill "pioneer's", "pirates" are somehow allowed; the ones in the school section, and the ones where you need to steal a boat.


Forest child; This might be a tough one, cause you can't even use non-lethal knockout. thing is, it's fairly easy to do it, if you make sure it's night. Couple advices.:

• Pioneers and pirates camps... are mostly skipable from outside or close to it's walls.
  
• a couple items are just impossible to pick without a knockout or two, however you can save first, do the thing, pick the item, load back, the item remains, and your achievement remains immaculate.
  
• From experience, don't use nothing except the bow with regular arrows, and some Molotov's for the bear.
  
• Some scripted encounters doesn't count, like the guys warning you in the beginning, the alchemist, the trap guys, Olga and the Admiral.
  
• Looking/being suspicious of you doesn't matter, but if they start shooting, load back.
  
• Tbh only the boat gate section might take some more tries.
  Although in my list, only 0,8% of the players have it.

Decommunization: Reaching the first school, ready your bow, pop the big statue's head. Done


Master of the Forest You'll get there, there's no doubt, the question if how you leave it. If do enough damage for he runs; you get the achievement. Use regular bolts and make sure your bag if full of Molotov's. You can run for the ladder and escape, but you won't get the achievement.


5 o'clock: You'll meet the Admiral close to the end of the chapter, indulge him; make a seat, drink some tea, listen the guy till he falls asleep. It's boring?. Well, go to the bathroom, talk to your wife. It's a easy achievement tho.


Robin Hood, If you're after the Forest Child ach. , it's gonna be hard in one run. Just make sure you kill every wolf, bird, bat or rat you find. Or... make a save before you enter in the facility on the mountain slope. Score some kills with the arachnidiae, load, rinse and repeat... it won't take long.


Professional: Make at least one kill with every ranged weapon. Complete

Revolver: done
A-shot: done
Shambler: done
Bastard Gun: done
Kalash: done
Bulldog: dfone
Gatling: done
Valve: done
Tikhar: done
Helsing (crossbow): You'll get your kill with the first wolf, and the achievement too if you did what I told you.

The Taiga - All Collectibles - Linear Guide

This Chapter is a lot more Linear, with not much to explore outside the given path, so I'll present a linear guide with a suggested picking order you'll most likely would follow anyway. Feel free to deviate in between the items, to get some loot or sights.

Postcard 15:


After you pick the crossbow from the statue, look to the smaller house on the far right


Go inside. In the far end there's a table and a counter with a broken window behind it. There you'll find the Postcard 15

Dairy page#1:Note on a crossbow bolt


As soon as you leave that courtyard, you're gonna be unsettled by a bolt, shot from afar, carrying the Note on a crossbow bolt. Sorry about the redundancy, but that's the name of the item

Dairy page: Unsent Letter


Going right, using the main road, or forward, saving the tied pioneer, you'll reach this statue. Pop his head for the Achievement, and check the house on the right after you go up the stairs..


The Unsent Letter rests on a school desk inside

Postcard 16

After leaving the school you'll need to access the building on the other side of the road. Go further to the bridge, listen with indifference the threats from the Pirates, and jump down the bridge to the left side.


Next to the treasure tree there's a path to the left, leading to a hole on the fence and the access to the building back there.


Inside, you'll find Postcard 16 pinned on the side of a book shelve. Before heading to the first floor, check the basement through the stairs to the left and find the night-vision-goggles you've lost.

Dairy page: Little Kid’s Note

from the roof of the previous building catch the zipline and move to the right. Walk silently till you reach the side of the building on the other side of the main road.


Climb the ramp, and turn left, without unsettle the residents, on the other divisions.


Pick the Little Kid’s Note from the drawer, next to the teddy-bear any leave through the same window. Now head to your checkpoint, the tower. Use the back of that building, and walk closely to the wall facing the shoreline towards the back of the tower and the ladder to climb it.

Dairy page: Solemn Oath


As soon as you get to the top, you'll have to zip it to the other side. Before that, pick the Solemn Oath from the wooden crate on the floor. If you behaved back there, you'll get a moral point here.

Dairy page: Dusty Diary


After watching some national geographic, follow briefly the main road and check left for the tree-hut.


Inside you'll find a safe camp, and the Dusty Diary on a crate. Make sure it's early night, so take a nap if needed.

Dairy page: Alchemist’s Log


Go up the first section of the bridge and use the zip-line there. You'll reach the other side of a pond next to the house of the alchemist


Make sure you surprise him right in his face, he will surrender albeit his vicious tongue. Don't hurt him, but search his place. Pick the Alchemist’s Log on the bed, and the modded revolver on the wall. Don't use tho, if you're after the Forest Child achievement.

Dairy page: Dusty Notebook


Return to the Camp or go along the rocky wall on the left side taking the checkpoint on you map as direction. You'll find an overgrown tree against it, with an open crevice below it's roots.


Inside you'll find the Dusty Notebook on a desk and a few more heart-beats in your way-out.

Dairy page: Lost Diary


Head to the shoreline on the opposite side of the main road. Look for a old shack near water, with animal traps and fishing clutter.


Inside you'll find 3 cage rabbits, and the Lost Diary on the wooden to the left.

Dairy page: Calligraphic Note

Head forward to the checkpoint on your map, but make it close to the left wall of the mountain. You'll reach soon a choke point where you're gonna trigger some cut-scenes with pioneers, pirates and the Big Bear


Go forward and check the Pioneer in his final moments to get your backpack.


Hide in the small cave on the left, or rush undetected till you pass the group of pioneers heading towards you. Look for this wooden lodge on the left side of your path.


The Calligraphic Note is inside against the old oven made of stone

Dairy page:Scribbled Note

Head for the camp, but get going close to the left wall, until you find a cave. The cave will grant you access to the camp unnoticed. Keep it that way and start going around head right to the front wood wall.


Your goal is the wooden lodge on the ground close to the palisade on the right.


Crawl your way to it, close to the wall to avoid detection, and pick the Scribbled Note from the table

The Taiga - All Collectibles Guide - Part 2

Dairy page: Worn-Out Letter

Sneak your way through the camp around the palisade and then up the wooden path build on the mountain wall. You'll eventually leave the camp area catching a zipline.


Go up the path, and enter the cave to your right.


Fairly close to the entrance, you'll find a campfire and the Worn-Out Letter on a wooden crate to your right

Dairy page: Crumpled Note


Further in the cave tunnels, you'll come across a narrowed point, with a wooden structure supporting the walls. Pick the Crumpled Note close to the corpse on the ground.

Postcard 17


Coming out of the cave, you'll reach another camp. Crawl your way for the building on the elevated ground in front of you.


Inside you'll find a pioneer, looting some corpse, beside him, you'll see the postcard. There's no easy way to pick that item without alerting anyone, so I recommend saving the game before reaching the house, knock the guy out and pick the Postcard 17. Make a quick load, and the Postcard remains on your collections and so does your immaculate forest child playthrough.

Dairy page: Dirty Diary


Head down to the shoreline on the right side of the camp, look further for a friendly pioneer next to the water. There's a easier path to the shoreline, free of pioneers but you'll have to met Olga first. On you're way down from the tower, head right around the hill instead of left to the checkpoint


He's gonna thank you again for saving him. Feel free to take his dirty diary on the table

Dairy page: Hunter’s Note


Head back to the camp and close to the building of the postcard on your right. Go up for the checkpoint on the top of the hill through the path to the right.


Against the door of the Church's courtyard you'll find a body and the Hunter’s Note close to it. Now take a deep breath, craft some arrows and some molotov's if your lacking

Dairy page: Weathered Note


After leaving Olga's company, head down for the pirate camp. Look first for a fancy tree on the left.


Behind the tree you'll find a cosy shed, a sleeping camp, and the Weathered Note on a dirty pillow. Make sure it's early night before leaving

Dairy page: Folded Note

Skip the camp entirely, if you progress close to the mountain on the left, you'll soon reach the last Pirate house and a boat for the taking.


When reaching this gate control, stop the boat and enter the facility, first thing on the left. You'll need to go upstairs to manipulate some lever and open the gate.


The Folded Note rests on the table, in the first room with the stairs. If you're playing for Forest Child, this is the only challenging zone, there's only 3 guys, but you need to go up stairs, use the lever, return to the boat and leave and row away trough the open gate. Watch their movements and take your time, it's doable and rewarding afterwards.

Postcard 18


After a few deja-vu moments with shrimps and power-generators, you'll reach Admiral's cabine


Indulge the old bastard and you may leave. Don't forget to take Postcard 18 from the wall on the left

Dairy page: Blood-Soaked Letter


Inside the Dam electric facility, you'll have a great shot on improving your crossbow kill count. Save, kill and load will get you the achievement. After that, take care of that red door.


Next thing to do as soon you enter, is picking the Blood-Soaked Letter next to a corpse.

Dairy page: Unfinished Letter


You're out and reunited with Alyosha, I hope. Enjoy the view and mark the second house on your right.


Inside you'll find the Unfinished Letter right ahead on the table next to a sewing machine

Postcard 19


Same house, next division. Turn back soon you enter the bedroom and pick the Postcard 19, the last item from the chapter.

DLC - The Two Colonels - Overview

Diary Pages: 9

The DLC doesn't have named chapters, but there are 3 different settings that I'll consider each one a "chapter" for the purpose of this guide.

DLC - The Two Colonels - Achievements

New Year: Story related, unmissable.


Duty and conscience: Story related, unmissable.


Father and son: Story related, unmissable.


Real Colonel: Story related, unmissable.


It's just a scratch: My first advice is to unbind the "Q" key for medkit; if you use one, even if you load a previous save later, you'll loose the achievement.

There are 3 chapters on the DLC and in the begin of each one your recover your health.

• In the first Chapter save your game after every corner and load every time the the bug or the worms spit on you. Keep your quick-save clean of damage and you'll get to the end of it without much fuss, only a few loads.
  
• On the station's second chapter, the enemies are humans, but the trick remains the same, save frequently while full health, load if you get hit.
  
• Last chapter on the bunker has the Blind-one plus lots of mutant rats, make use of your save/load strategy and install all flamethrower upgrades along the way, they are easy to find. When facing the Gorilla make sure you run around him, close but not too close (you prevent his throw attack, also for the next achievement). And drop everything on the canister on him soon you have the chance, It's a two fase battle with some rats in the middle but a good spray or two can defeat him without too many hits

.


Mind you, it's quite heavy!: Only in the third chapter has Nosalises, and this one are the bald-rat type, like those in the end of the main story. They will come in a decent amount as soon as you enter the bunker. So save first, put them on fire, and when they are burning; mash key "V" till you kill 3 beast and the achievement pops. Load a previous save if you got some hits. Don't use medkits if your going for the previous achievement.


Dodge master. On the final part of the Bunker, you'll reach a closed squared area after crawling throw a hole on some debris. Killing some Nosalises there will trigger the appearance of te Blind-one. Make sure you run to the side as soon you take control because his first throw is scripted.
After that, run close and around him when he is about to attack, just enough to doge the hit; being close prevents him from using his throw ability. Use the flamethrower with long powerful sprays directly on him. He'll leave to another round of rats after one spray if it was strong enough. After you kill some more Nosalises, you'll face the gorilla again.
If you manage to prevent most hits from him, while doing a couple good fire sprays, you'll trigger a cut-scene. If he didn't hit with his throw you'll get the achievement. It took me a couple attempts too, but it's not that hard, especially if he only make the initial throw.

DLC - Sam's Story - Overview

Diary Pages: 11
Harmonica Melodies: 9 (10 if you count the first one Sam already know)
Night Hunter's Secret Stashes: 8

Getting all diaries in Sam's Story doesn't award you with any achievement, but no way in hell I wouldn't try to get them all. Obviously you can count on this guide for guidance in that regard. If nothing else, they'll add to the background story of this amazing DLC.

This chapter is somewhat unique; it has some linear areas and open ones, but the locations are sometimes hard to pinpoint with just a screen inside complex indoor facilities. So I've tried my best and come with a nice solution with a map like the Volga and Caspian sections, following with the Items and stash in the right picking order.

I took the liberty to add some important loot like suit-upgrade on the map even if the don't count as Stash for the achievement[/i]

DLC - Sam's Story - Morality Actions (Captain's Trust)

Moral points are also present in the Sam's Story DLC, but instead of indicating good deeds, they reflect actions taken by Sam to gain the Captain's trust. Completing all actions will gain the A Man of Principle achievement

There are 5 major Actions, you need to perform to achieve his full trust; The are however other positive points you may receive and eventually (not tested) could help you to the same result even if you miss one. My advice is to pursuit ever point possible

• MAJOR When you first meet the Captain. Put your gun down when he tells you to.
  
  
• Help him move the wooden beam
  
  
• Spare the sniper (choose punch).
  
  
• MAJOR After you and the Captain speak to Tom over the radio. Give him food when he mentions that drinking would be better with something to eat.
  
  
• MAJOR. Set all five Molotov traps in the Captain’s hideout after getting drunk with him. This is also required for the Trapper Achievement.
  
  
• MAJOR. After stealing the boat from the bandit camp and sailing through the toxic bog, proceed through the left side of the swamp until you find a "question mark on your map". You'll find a tape and some bodies. Follow the path and find two more tapes while speaking to the captain via radio. At the top of a tower you'll uncover what happened to the Captain's crew and you add points to his trust towards you
  
  
• MAJOR At the very end of the DLC. You'll need to make a difficult choice, you must choose NOT the flag.

DLC - Sam's Story - Achievements

The Last Hero Story related, cannot be missed.


Untouchable
You need to prepare before every encounter, and there's 3 of them. This guide will show you when.
A general advice is, if your about to fall or die. Hit F9 and try again. Even If you die and load a previous save you'll lose the achievement.

• The first encounter occur after you met the Captain on the ruins of the sky-elevator. you'll fall mid track on a boxcar. Don't rush it or he will push you to a fatal fall, if that happens hit F9 for a quick load before before the dead screen appears. Land a shot or two as soon he appears, hide behind the car on the opposite side from where the shaking trees are, shooting every time he goes up. Repeat 3-5 times till the cut scene where he'll jump on you from the pillar below yours. Don't hit load; it won't kill you
  
  
• The second encounter occurs after meeting Tom's scouts while heading to the Firehouse. He will ambush you on a narrow car scrapyard. Don't run or you'll be crushed by falling cars. Make sure you have plenty medkits and ammo.
  
  Hide when he's attacking or run in the opposite direction if he's sending his bats, try to prevent being below the higher piles of cars cause he will push them to crush you 3 times, but you'll hear some metal sound before the push, so make sure you identify witch pile he's gonna trash.If you are crushed tho, hit F9 fast before the black screen. It'll save the achievement.
  
  Land land some shots in between healing every time it's needed till the next cutscene where he'll fall behind the cars and when you approach it, some of them will fall on you. Don hit load this time tho, it won't kill you.
  
  
• The third and final encounter will take place shortly after leaving the fire department with the radiation suit. This one works the same as the other battles. He will fly toward you and you just need to shoot it a few times until it falls and retreats. Keep your eyes on the trees. You’ll be able to see where the attack is going to come from. The trees will move and there will be a dust cloud. Just follow that until it attacks. The bat swarms can be dodged by sprinting away in a different direction.
  There will be rain and it'll be harder do e'identify the last couple attacks, but even if you get hit, heal your self and keep looking around till you land a few more shots
  Eventually, it’ll fall on you and a scene will play as you finally defeat this thing.
  
  Don't despair if the achievement don't pop up when you kill it. It will ,but only in the end of the chapter after the million dollar choice and the final cutscene rolls up. I know. it sucks.

A Man of Principle Check the previous section for the full list of possible actions.


Cinephile: On your way to find the Captain, search a big building on land full with bandits. It's the third you should visit after getting a boat. Swipe clean the facility to enjoy the movies in peace. Go upstairs, take the trash tape from the projector, find an educational one on a room nearby and put it back on the projector. The room with the tape is on the right side of the window with the planks you have to reach to pick Melody #2. In the enhanced version of the game you won't see the pictures tho... too white


Trapper After the drinking night with the Captain he'll ask you to set their traps, don't catch the zipline to leave the building before that. If you're following the guide to get the music sheet and the stash on this building you'll pass the numbers on the ground to set the traps


Lord of War: Honestly, you shouldn't have much trouble with this if you find most of the stashes and loot enemy's weapons for their mods. Mind the stashes and you won't miss this achievement too. This are the mods you need to find, just to put them on paper.

Stallion Pistol

• Balanced Grip Handle
  
• Short Barrel and Suppressor
  
• Reflex Sight
  
• Heavy Grip
  
• Long Barrel with Full Auto
  
• Closed Reflex Sight
  
• Extended Magazine
  
• Green Laser
  
• High-Capacity Magazine

Sammy Rifle

• Burst Fire Barrel
  
• Standard Magazine
  
• Semi-Automatic Barrel
  
• Heavy Stock
  
• High Capacity Magazine
  
• Sniper Stock

Music Lover: Well, follow the guide and you won't have any trouble. Wonder why there's 10 music sheets on the achievement and only 9 to find? The first one is on-the-house, you'll unlock it soon you start the DLC, I guess it's Sam's own musicn music[/i]


Great Owl Some of them are tricky to find and not all of them are at the end of a skull or an inked wall. But follow this guide and you'll reach each one with little fuss.

DLC - Sam's Story - ITEM PICKING GUIDE

The first part of the chapter doesn't have anything worth mentioning except, the FIRST Batwing encounter, where you must NOT die. Refer to the achievement section.

tengo un problema con uno de los logros que es el te vestido para triunfar, me da error queda en 10/12 mejoras del traje tengo todas y tengo todo los demas logos al 99% pero este no se me desbloquea a pesar que los tengo y que me los equipo sin problema, he borrado el juego he intentado nuevamente pero sin exito.

[esralierdo24]

Actually, the AShot is found in the Volga Level first, not Yamantau, overall the progression to get a kill w every weapon is: Shambler, Revolver, Kalash, AShot, Bastard, Tikhar, Gatling, Valve, Bulldog and HellSing

[B3rgman]

Thanks to all spartans and readers alike, liking and rewarding this guide for so long. I've just made a few edits that I found usefully mentioned or recommended on this comments section, so kudos to everyone who made them.

[KorruptkSwades]

TL:DR: Caspian - Prison Slave Camp - Lever.
***(( Free the slaves in the prison ship without being detected till you pull the lever. ))

Please edit it to "(...) until you pull the lever > on the command bridge < (...)"
thanks !

I have followed your guide tediously but... I entered the Prison Slave Ship, stealthy till a lever I pulled thinking it was THE Lever... Got stuck at the door beneath the command bridge where everyone was now firing at me. I could not load back. Gatling dude just waiting for me. He shoots at me instantaneously... I end up killing everyone up there. I find the ACTUAL Lever on top of the command bridge... I could not load back... Would be good to mention in this part here to pull the lever that is on the Command Bridge please for others. Thank you.
I have to redo the entire level someday for the Damir Achievement.
Thanks for the guide extremely helpful !

[mark1971]

Thank you!

[Tschona]

Best Guide for this game! Got the 100% with ease

[winter]

Edit regarding the Roller Coaster achievement--you can actually get back inside the Oasis by jumping up some rocks to the left of the actual gate. Still wasn't able to trigger the achievement because there was no prompt to interact with the buckets, but there is a chance it's because I killed *everyone* for negative karma... lol

[winter]

"Roller Coaster" achievement in The Caspion should be marked "missable" imo. I tried to go back after the fact but the area is bugged, you can go into the cave but can't crawl back through to the Oasis... and then you can't even get back to the main map due to an invisible wall above the slope (how this hasn't been fixed yet is beyond me...) TY for the guide tho!

[TRWAZ]

Thank you Brother

[Challanger]

Tracking section of "Professional" achievement for each level could be improved by:
1 - listing only available (or new) weapons for particular level (decluttering)
2 - addition of "Tracking" word to clarify the reason of repeat of the achievement conditions
And really Thank You for Ultra Detailed Guide!!!
