9. Big Lad

Desc: Obtain Dokhu's teddy bear

The achievement is given to you the second you pick up the teddy bear.

10. Birthday Boys

You'll be sent to the back alley loophole, but the paper crown of the patient will be left over in that location. Grab it and then loop back to Hauser's Library. If you completed Dohku's request, he'll be in the wall near the mailslot.

Give him the crown and you'll get the achievement.

Note: You may not be able to give Dohku the crown at first. If that’s the case, go back to the cafeteria. In the area where you first see Chef Sauers rolling down the hallway (before the dining room area), there’s a bulletin board on the wall right of the vent exit. Read it and it should allow you to get the achievement.

11. The Final Dump

Desc: Complete the Neglected Patient's questline
Process: In The Sickward, you'll meet the neglected patient. Follow him to the toilet, wait for his request to end, and then search for the glass of water. It usually spawns in the main part of the ward where all the patients are, so check there first. Once you grab it, give it to the patient and he'll scurry off.

He'll spawn near the entrance of The Courtyard next after leaving The Sickward. He'll provide another request asking you to find his golden pocket watch. Give the Trash Collector trash, follow him, and he'll offer you the pocket watch. Return to the patient and give it to him. He'll thank you and then move to the next location.

Finally, he spawns in The Bathhouse. Immediately after entering the pool area, you'll see him run to the left side changing room. Follow him and you'll see a door open. Go inside and you'll see his masterpiece. Talk to him.

Completing the final step gives you the achievement.

12. Crunchy, with a slicy aftertaste

Desc: Bring the Trash Collector the totally wrong snack
Process: After meeting the Trash Collector in The Trashyard, go straight after leaving his area. Directly across from that area is an alley with black trash bins. Take the trash from them and feed it to the Trash Collector.

You'll receive the achievement right after feeding him the trash.

13. But this is worse!

Desc: Use the second treatment room in the Electroshock Ward
Process: While completing path three in The Electroshock Ward, follow Nurse Anne into the electroshock room. Immediately run away and wait for Nurse Anne to catch up. She'll offer a secondary room.

Follow her into the secondary room and you'll receive the achievement.

14. Fearless

Desc: This is the wrong way
Total toilets: 3

Collect all golden toilets.

All three toilets are located in completely different locations. Each location is listed below:

• Hauser's Library
  
• Reception
  
• Heilward Park

Hauser's Library
In the double doors where you fell from, there's a loophole location in the back area after entering the room that looks like a jail cell. Upon entering the room, turn left and you'll see another door. Enter it and follow it to the back.

The first toilet is located there.

Reception
Follow the segment as normal until you get to the long dark hallway where something is chasing you (there isn't anything actually chasing you by the way). Follow it to the end until you reach the door. Do not go through it. Instead, back track down the hallway.

The second toilet is located at the end.

Heilward Park
After entering the area, turn left and you'll see a path leading to the left. Follow it until you see a statue.

The third toilet is located behind it.

Collecting every toilet in any order grants you the achievement.

15. Treatment Complete

Desc: Get a 100% on your visit report
Process: Completing the previous achievements will cover the majority of the progress toward the visit report. However, there are a few exceptions which I'll list here.



Time Played
Does not matter.

Loopholes Used
Does not matter.

Knowledge Items
Covered in the paths of each area achievement in this guide.

Neglected Patients
Covered in the Big Lad, The Final Dump, and Birthday Boys sections of this guide.

Birthdays Celebrated
Covered in the Birthday Boys section of this guide.

Trash Collector's Thoughts
Every time you give him trash in The Courtyard, he spits some facts. You need to do this every time you visit The Courtyard. You cannot give him trash if you already gave him some in the same loaded session of The Courtyard.

You can, however, quickly loop out and loop back into The Courtyard to give him trash. Repeat five times and it'll count.

Trash Collector Alive
Does not matter.

Golden Toilets
Covered in the Fearless section of this guide.

Upon completing the above checklist, complete the game normally by heading into the Dentist area.

Wait for the credits and you'll receive it the second the stats screen pops up.

Editing Progression.xml

Did you know that the 'save' file for this game is located in the game files of your Steam directory? Wow!

If you go into the Heilwald Loophole directory, you'll see a save directory. Enter it and you'll see a file called Progression.xml.

If, for whatever reason, you're stuck doing an achievement, you can delete this file to completely wipe your save data. Alternatively, if you're looking to speedrun this whole guide, you can edit this file to open all areas early, set certain stats, and more!

You can open it in Notepad or Notepad++. I'll cover what some lines in this file do.

<GameMode>
Changing this value changes the game mode type of the save.

• 0 - switches it to guided mode
  
• 1 - switches it to exploration mode

<UnlockedAreas>
Changing the value changes the area to be available while looping.

• False - disables the area
  
• True - enables the area

Each area isn't list here yet until you unlock it or visit it once. I will, however, provide a code block that lets you access every area early. Keep in mind that some areas past the Patient Hall will not work initially.

    <OfficeArea type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <Sickward type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <ElectroshockWard type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <PrisonBlock type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <LoopholeMap type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <Courtyard type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <Attic type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <HausersLibrary type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <Bathhouse type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <GeniusLoci type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <PatientHall type="System.Boolean" value="True" />
    <VisitReport type="System.Boolean" value="True" />

<ObtainedKeycards>
Changing this value changes how many keycards you have.

• 23 - provides you with all keycards

<ObtainedNewspapers>
Changing this value changes how many knowledge items you have.

• 1015 - provides you with all knowledge items

<Helene>
Changing this value changes how many meds you currently have to give to Nurse Helene.

There are two choices: PlayerHasMeds1 and PlayerHasMeds2. First determines if you got the meds from the Old Ward. Second determines if you got the meds from the Trashyard.

• False - no meds acquired
  
• True - meds acquired

<TrashCollector>
Changing this value changes Trash Collector attributes.

There are two choices: IsAlive and OptionalDialogue. First determines if is alive or not. Second determines how many thoughts you collected from him.

IsAlive Attribute

• False - dead
  
• True - not dead

OptionalDialogue Attribute

• 0 - no thoughts
  
• 5 - all throughts

[minish]

Also I got fearless after collecting only 2 golden toilets

[minish]

just for clarification; loophole isnt required for all courtyard path achievements

[Big Sloppie]

@Sm0ke
Trashyard is a completely separate area from the Courtyard, which is available from the Patient Hall onward. It’s the area you get the second meds for Nurse Helene, with the other being the Old Ward.

[Sm0ke]

The explaination for 'Crunchy, with a slicy aftertaste' is extremely unhelpful and not descriptive enough. What trashyard? I've explored the entire courtyard and can't find any black trash bins. Please fix.

[Veryfungi3221]

@Pablo Plissken yeah i think you only have to grab the one in reception (hence the achievement's name) and the rest are only necessary for treatment complete

[Pablo Plissken]

@veryfungi3221

Yeah, I have no idea... interestingly I had this with the Golden Toilets during my run, it popped when I collected only two, but the third was still available to collect in the park.

[Veryfungi3221]

i didnt even have to beat the game for treatment complete, it, like the area achievements and looping, was just triggered by going to the stats section in the menu with all the requirements met

[Pablo Plissken]

Can confirm that for the "Treatment Complete" achievement to pop the Trash Collector MUST be alive, if for whatever reason he died, go into progression file and change his value to "True".

I reran the Dentist area again and got to the Stats section and it popped.

Hope this helps.

[Pablo Plissken]

Can confirm the Courtyard, wont pop until you've fully explored it using the Red Key Card. (For me anyway).

[Pablo Plissken]

I am having issues with Courtyard now... I have followed the pathways in this guide, I have given the Golden Watch to the neglected patient, and I think I have exhausted all of the Trash Collectors dialogue, as every time I give him trash he just keeps saying "I am fed for the day".
