I thought the "on dry feet" achievement was bugged but after trying it a few times I was able to get it to pop for me. If you are having an issue where you are being dropped when the guy picks you up over the river, I just waited for the dialog to completely finish and then make a big jump. He picked me up and I didn't get dipped in the water. I also didn't die at all during level 2 so maybe that helped as well.

Thanks for the video.
I came here for the buggy achievement "On Dry Feet" and it seems to still be bugged for me.

Thank you

I was worried I would have to replay the chapter, as I had been caught by the first bandit with the lantern, but, fortunately, the following "show up-and-hide"s (with the same bandit) resulted in popping up the "Close Call" achievement. However, it counted not after 3 times but after 4.

[InSpec]

Can confirm that "Close Call" is bugged (also tried different combinations. Played on Steam Deck and on PC). Looks like dev modified bandits and their light - on chaper 2 you can just stand still on 2 points (rock on ground on the left and near the saw) and bandit will raise lamp and after that will not run on you.

[Demma]

For the life of me I can't seem to get "Close Call" to trigger. I've tried it multiple times in Chapters 2 and 3, and I tried both the Cart and apple tricks in Ch 3, no luck. Is it possibly bugged?

[badfluffy]

Yay for guides using their words. Thanks for the help

[RONIN]
