Survival achievements

These are achievements tied to keeping characters alive or killing them off.

-Rough Night:
"Kept everyone alive"

The characters you must keep alive are those who you get chances to control throughout the game (the counsellors). You do not need to worry about any of the Hackett's or Silas for this achievement.

You can use the live based system in the accessibility options to rewind up to 3 character deaths for this achievement. (Unlocked after beating the game once or if you own the Deluxe edition).
Below are some tips and things to avoid. This is not a fully encompassing list of everything but should be enough to get you through it.

Tips for survival:

• Pass all QTEs and Don't Breath events. You can also put aim assist on AUTO if you want, this will not perform shooting events that result in character deaths (will also earn the achievement "Peanut Butter Butterpops").
  
• In Chapter 4 do not shoot the bushes.
  
• In Chapter 4 search the bag as Emma, do not open the trap door as your first option.
  
• If you break into the cabin in Chapter 1, you can cut off Dylan's arm to avoid infection. If you did not break into the cabin this will not be an issue.
  
• In Chapter 6, shoot Nick as Abi.
  
• Do not shoot Travis in Chapter 7 and comply with him (you can later drug him or just take his gun after playing injured, be apologetic).
  
• In Chapter 8, interrupt Laura when she goes to shoot werewolf Nick.
  
• Free Jacob from his cell in Chapter 8. Do breaker 2 then 3. Then breaker 1 and 2.
  
• In Chapter 9, do not remove the knife as Ryan and accept the bite from Laura (see "Phlebotomy").
  
• In Chapter 9, pick up the silver shells in the storm shelter as Abi.
  
• In Chapter 9, shoot werewolf Chris.
  
• Warn Kaitlyn in the scrap yard and pass the QTEs.
  
• In Chapter 10, wait on the island as Max (do not swim).
  
• In Chapter 10, keep running as Kaitlyn and use the beam. Investigate Abi's noise to get the silver shells.
  
• Kill Silas as Laura.

-Hackett's Quarry Massacre:
"Killed everyone"

As above, the only characters you need to worry about killing off are the camp counsellors. Killing everyone on a playthrough should be fairly straightforward but here are some tips as some death scenarios cancel others making it harder. (Note: Dylan must remain uninfected).

Note: You may want to pair this achievement with "The Final Girl" and "Last Man Standing" to save time using Chapter select. For additional notes see "The Final Girl" and "Last Man Standing".

Recommended killing methods of the characters:

• Jacob - In Chapter 1, steal the rotor arm, and later in Chapter 3, at the lake dive in after it. When getting tangled, repeatedly "Pull" instead of untangling and Jacob will drown.
  
  
• Emma - In Chapter 4, open the trap door before searching the bag on the island and Emma will die.
  
  
• Abi - In Chapter 6, do not shoot Nick when he is transforming. He will kill Abi (also earns "Lovers' Quarrel").
  
  
• Laura - In Chapter 7, do not drug Travis and be difficult to him while captive. Shoot Travis once when escaping. In Chapter 9, Travis will kill Laura as revenge.
  
  
• Nick - In Chapter 8, Laura will shoot imprisoned werewolf Nick if Ryan does not interrupt.
  
  
• Dylan - Make sure he comes to the scrapyard and when operating the crane, warn Kaitlyn and distract the werewolf. Fail the QTE with the torch.
  
  
• Ryan - Refuse the bite from Laura and shoot werewolf Chris later in Chapter 9 to cure Max. Ryan will bleed out after killing Chris.
  
  
• Max - At the start of Chapter 10, choose to swim to shore and Caleb will kill Max.
  
  
• Kaitlyn - Fail QTEs when fighting against werewolf Caleb.

-The Final Girl:
"Kaitlyn survived the night alone"

In Chapter 1, as Abi and Emma break into the cabin to obtain their bags. Keep the Toy.
Later in Chapter 5, Abi will leave her bag (with the toy) in the Kitchen.

Follow all the deaths above for this playthrough so Kaitlyn is your last remaining character during the fight with Caleb. Keep running and use the beam to progress to the kitchen. Once you arrive at the kitchen, lure Caleb into the freezer with the Toy.

This will ensure Caleb dies and that Kaitlyn is your last survivor if followed correctly.

-Last Man Standing:
"Ryan survived alone"

If you followed the everyone dies route above, just reload Chapter 9 and as Ryan do the following.

Don't remove the knife, later stab Bobby with the knife. Accept the bite from Laura to heal the bleeding. Kill werewolf Chris with the gun and Travis will kill Laura if she shot him in Chapter 7.

Kill Dylan in the scrapyard and die as Kaitlyn against Caleb (same as everyone dies method).

Collectable achievements

There are three types of collectables to find. They are Tarot cards, Clues and Evidence. There are 72 in total.

The way collectables work is when using Chapter Select it will reset your collectables back to that Chapter. In order to obtain the achievements you must collect all that type of collectable in that playthrough. You must do a playthrough for Tarot cards and one for Clues as some of these cancel one another out.

Tarot cards and Clues will need to be gathered to completion on separate playthroughs.

Video guide for all collectables:

CLUES:

-What's This?:
"Collected first clue"



-It's All Coming Together:
"Found a matching clue"



-Meddling Kids!:
"Collected all clues"

Clues are found as interactable objects throughout the game. Interacting with them will unlock them to view in the pause menu. For these achievements you need to collect every Clue in the game.

TAROT CARDS:

-Forewarned is Forearmed:
"Get a Tarot reading"



-Decked Out:
"Find all Tarot cards"

Tarot cards collected in a playthrough can be read to you at the end of each chapter. The first time this occurs you will earn the achievement "Forewarned is Forearmed". The achievement "Decked Out" can be earned for collecting all 22 tarot cards.
Tarot cards can be found in specific places where a fixed camera angle changes perspective.

EVIDENCE:

-The Truth is Out There:
"Collect a piece of evidence"



-Conspiracy Theorist:
"Collect all evidence"

Evidence are items you can find throughout the game the same way as collectables. Find all 10 for these achievements.

"Blood Pact" (Infect all characters)

-Blood Pact:
"Infected every character"

For this achievement, every playable character must be bitten by an infected person / werewolf. It does not matter if the character goes on to die afterwards and the achievement will unlock after the final character is infected.
I recommend doing this as it's own playthrough. Don't breath events can not be put on AUTO for this achievement.

Max, Laura and Nick will always be infected in the story so you do not need to worry about those 3 characters for this achievement.

• Chapter 1 - Break into the cabin room as Abi and Emma.
  
  
• Chapter 3 - To get Abi infected, choose to help Nick after he is attacked, and progress until Abi is hiding behind a rock. Fail the Don't breath event and she will get infected. Later in the Chapter, when Jacob is caught in a noose by Bobby, throw dirt at him.
  
  
• Chapter 4 - As Emma on the island, go into the treehouse and search the bag. Use the taser and progress to run away passing the QTEs. When back in the treehouse, choose Block Door, then use the trapdoor. Pass the first QTE and then fail the QTE to push the cabinet then pass the next QTE to taser the werewolf again. Make sure Emma survives.
  
  
• Chapter 5 - Dylan will automatically get bitten here if Abi and Emma broke into the cabin in chapter 1. Do not chop off Dylan's arm.
  
  
• Chapter 6 - As Jacob, when he is first attacked, fail the first QTE and he will get bitten. Pass the rest of the QTEs and progress. Later as Emma, when you come across the two hunters you can get bitten again as a precaution. Choose to Run instead of hide/wait.
  
  
• Chapter 9 - As Ryan accept Laura's bite (see "Phlebotomy"). Later in the scrapyard, choose to slam the car when the werewolf is on it and fail the QTE. Kaitlyn will be bitten and the achievement should unlock if everything has been done correctly.

"Family Matters" (Kill all Hacketts)

-Family Matters:
"Killed all the Hacketts"

Hackett Family members (in order of death for achievement):

• Kaylee Hackett - Chapter 5 (Automatic story progression)
  
  
• Constance Hackett - Chapter 9; As Laura fight over control of the shotgun, this will kill Constance.
  
  
• Jedediah Hackett - Chapter 9; when exploring the house as Laura you will come across Jedediah. Choose to attack when given the option instead of running.
  
  
• Bobby Hackett - Chapter 9; As Ryan, do not remove the knife and later use the interrupt to stab Bobby. He will die to the werewolf attack later as a result.
  
  
• Chris Hackett - Chapter 9; after falling through the roof with werewolf Chris, you can shoot him with the shotgun.
  
  
• Caleb Hackett - Chapter 10; As Kaitlyn, either use the Teddy from breaking in during Chapter 1 to lock him in the freezer (and kill Silas) or use the Silver shells if Abi and Emma have survived until this chapter that they can find in the storm shelter.
  
  
• Sheriff Travis Hackett - Chapter 9 or 10. If you are on bad terms with the Sheriff he will kill Laura and Ryan can pass some QTEs to then kill him in Chapter 9 or in Chapter 10 if you decide to work together, don't raise your gun to shoot Silas. Fail the following QTE and Travis will accidentally get shot.

"Nick of Time"

-Nick of Time:
"Successfully took the fastest route to Nick"

During Chapter 3, when playing as Ryan trying to locate Nick, take the shortcut both times and pass all the QTEs to earn the achievement.

"Just a Flesh Wound"

-Just a Flesh Wound:
"Save a friend from infection"

During Chapter 5, Dylan will get his hand bitten by a werewolf if Emma and Abigail broke into the cabin during Chapter 1. As Ryan in Chapter 5, agree to cut off Dylan's hand with a chainsaw in the radio room.

"Lovers' Quarrel"

-Lovers' Quarrel:
"Let Nick kill Abi"

During Chapter 6, when Nick is about to transform into a werewolf, do not shoot him as Abi. This will result in him killing her and earning the achievement.

"Bizzare Yet Bonafide"

-Bizzare Yet Bonafide:
"Listened to the podcast"

During Chapter 7, when freely exploring the Police Station, head upstairs and in two different rooms you can find a calendar and a birthday card. These give the clues required to unlock the computer on the ground floor in one of the rooms. Logging in will allow you to listen to the podcast and earn the achievement.

"Phlebotomy"

-Phlebotomy:
"Accepted the bite of a werewolf"

During Chapter 9, you will be presented with the option for Laura to bite Ryan in order to heal him so he does not bleed out from the stab wound. Accept as Ryan and do NOT perform the Interrupt action to pull away.

You will get this achievement when aiming for keeping everyone alive for "Rough Night".

"Mutually Assured"

-Mutually Assured:
"Laura and Travis killed each other"

In Chapter 9, do not shoot werewolf Chris Hackett. This will cause Travis and Laura to both kill one another, earning the achievement.

"Above the Law" & "The White Wolf"

-Above the Law:
"Travis and Laura agreed to work together"

This achievement is earned in Chapter 9 but requires some choices to be made in Chapter 7. While in the custody of Sheriff Travis Hackett, generally comply with his commands (and don't take his gun during captivity). You can choose to drug him and escape or you can get him to give you the keys after stealing his gun (if you do not shoot him).

If your relationship is good enough with him in Chapter 9, as Ryan, shoot werewolf Chris Hackett and this will save Laura and Travis (you may want Ryan to survive the blood loss for this, see "Phlebotomy"). They can then agree to work together (choose dialogue option "Suspicious").

Example of Laura not drugging Travis and having a good relationship:

-The White Wolf:
"Killed Silas"

During Chapter 10, if Laura and Travis are alive and agreed to work together, they will come across Silas in the forest. You can kill Silas and earn the achievement.

"Should’ve Gone to the Motel"

-Should’ve Gone to the Motel:
"Reunited Laura and Max"

Recommended to use your save file from "Rough Night" to use Chapter select.
For this achievement, you must not have shot Travis in Chapter 7.

From Chapter 9, as Ryan, refuse the bite from Laura. Kill werewolf Chris later in the chapter and then as Laura, pass some QTEs to kill Travis (Ryan will die from blood loss).
Because both Travis and Ryan are dead, Laura will go to the island at the start of Chapter 10 where you can meet her as Max for the achievement.

"Hard Pass"

-Hard Pass:
"Refuse Eliza's help"

Throughout an entire playthrough you must refuse the Tarot card readings at the end of each chapter. It is recommended to pick up at least 1 tarot card in each chapter including the prologue to make sure you reject Eliza's See More prompt 10 times across a single playthrough.

You may still pick up the Tarot card "The Hierophant" in Chapter 9.

THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS CURRENTLY UNOBTAINABLE. This achievement is now obtainable after the patch.

"Nobody’s Fool"

-Nobody’s Fool:
"Jacob told Emma the truth"

For this achievement Emma must have been infected in Chapter 4 (failing QTE after blocking the door while running from werewolf - see "Blood Pact" for more detail) and Jacob must remain uninfected.

In Chapter 6, as Emma near the two hunters choose the option to run and she will get bitten again.

In Chapter 8, shoot werewolf Emma with normal ammunition multiple times (do not use Silver ammo). Later as Ryan, free Jacob from the cage by using the correct breakers (3 + 2 and 1 + 2).

In Chapter 9, kill werewolf Chris as Ryan. Then in Chapter 10, Emma and Jacob will reunite and have a conversation. Choose the following dialogue choices: Honest, Remorseful, Apologetic.

"Creature Feature" (Movie Night)

-Creature Feature:
"Start a movie mode playthrough"

This achievement can be unlocked by loading into any of the Movie Night options on the main menu. The achievement will unlock immediately.

Movie Night is unlocked upon completing the main story once or is unlocked by default if you own the Deluxe Edition.

Game Mechanics & Combat

-You're Breathtaking!:
"Pass 5 Don't Breath events"

During the course of a playthrough, pass five of the Don't Breath moments successfully.
Your Steam achievements page will have a tracker for this achievement.

Note: Setting the Don't Breath events to AUTO in accessibility options will not progress this achievement.

-Reactionist:
"Activate 15 Interrupts"

This is cumulative of all playthroughs. Interrupts are optional choices that are triggered by a button prompt. Some interrupts can result in bad choices so it may not be wise to try every single one you are presented.
Your Steam achievements page will have a tracker for this achievement.

-Peanut Butter Butterpops!:
"Never miss in a combat encounter"

During your playthrough you must not miss during a shooting event with a gun. On that playthrough you do not have to have every single encounter present for the achievement, that would probably be impossible due to the branching paths, but just succeed every encounter that is present in that playthrough.

NOTE: You can still choose not to shoot. Just hit your shots when you do.

I highly recommend putting aim assist on AUTO (in accessibility options) when aiming for this achievement as it will automatically line up the shots for you and it will not automatically shoot when you would end up killing a character.

~Backing up Save Files~

You may want to back up save files while going for all achievements to minimise the number of playthroughs required and to access chapter select points easier.

This is by no means required but could prove useful.

The save files are located in AppData > Local > TheQuarry

[[UCSC] KaraThrace]

I just tested this, and you don't actually need to shoot Constance or choke out Jebediah to get the Family Matters achievement. It was enough for me to stab Bobby, shoot Chris, shoot Travis, and shoot Caleb.

I Keep Everyone Alive

[ㄥ丨ㄥ'丂爪ㄖҜ乇ㄚ]

Thank you for making this great guide

[rodas]

In mine Ryan died from travis shot xD

[Skeeter Pan]

great guide followed it exactly and got 100%

[StormiLey]

*UNLESS YOU COLLECT THE BRACELET IN THE 1ST CH**

[StormiLey]

*ONE THING TO NOTE* if you are doing a Save Everyone play through you cannot let Jacob get infected. HE WILL KILL and there is no avoiding it unless you leave him to die in the cage. I didn't know this and I was trying to save time by doing the save everyone and get everyone infected in the same run.

[mimiko857]

Thanks for this guide really helped me a lot , here's an award for your effort in posting this. Too bad we didn't get to witness abi's true nature when she got infected

[lliwb04]

Abi being infected is weirdly glitched and must be done by failing the rock don't breath. All the other bites don't count😭

[CallistoOwO]

*atleast it might have bugged for me but i got it even though i failed one QTE and passed the saving QTE.
