Before anyone else says so, I'm making thread on this b/c the existing threads containing walkthroughs and tips for TLS3:UC do not properly address the achievement section of the game. Also, I did not put this on the Wikia page either since it seems not many people are building it it fast enough.
With that in mind, the purpose of this thread is to find the requirements for the secret/difficult achievements of TLS3:UC. I myself don't know all the requirements, so hopefully people with experience inform everyone else.
Out of the 54 achievements, I found the following either difficult, impossible, or confusing to complete under certain circumstances.
1. MASTERFUL - Level any skill to 100.For this achievement, 100 skill points must be allocated to a single skill category. This does not include bonuses added through attribute points or smart skill bonuses (during a level up). In other words, keep leveling that single skill (or reading skill books) until it won't let you level it anymore, and it should unlock.
2. PILLS HERE! - Use 15 bottles of pills.Pain Pills only add to this counter. No Zzz is not counted toward this achievement, despite also being pills in a bottle. Additionally, Pain Pills may be hard to find for some players. I found only 15 bottles myself in a single play-through. So the only advice I have is increase that Luck stat and hope for the best.
3. FORGETFUL - Forget to level up.Easy to do, if you know what do (b/c this is a secret achievement). Level up your character twice without distributing any points on the Character screen.
4. NO VACANCY - Fill up storage at safe house to max.Also easy to do, if you know what do (another secret achievement). Try to fill your storage box at the safehouse passed its maximum capacity.
5. DEATH FROM ABOVE - Kill an enemy while airborne.Secret achievement. Kill an enemy mid-jump. I did this with a melee weapon.
6. OH COME ON - Force and break a lock with +90% chance of successful break.Secret achievement. It's self-explanatory, but still very hard to get. You also need a high Security/Luck stat level to get +90%, so that means you have less than a 10% chance of breaking the lock (opposite to forcing the lock open).
7. MASTER LOCKSMITH - Pick 30 locks successfullyTo be honest, I don't even know if there are even 30 locks to begin with. If there is, beware that some pick-able locks have keys to them, so be wary of picking up any keys before you find out if you can actually lockpick the lock it goes to. Additionally, you may have to forfeit the other achievement where you have to force open 3 locks. Hopefully the rumor of additionally expansion packs for this game is true, in which it might have the extra locks we need.
8. BRAINS BEATS BRAWN - get 90% by security more 1% by strength in pick lock.Secret achievement. In other words, pick (not force) a lock when a +90% chance to break lock is available (with high Security/luck skill).
9. BRAWN BEATS BRAINS - gets 90% by strength more 1% by security in pick lock.Secret achievement. If I knew, I'd tell you. But I don't. Someone mentioned that you need a +10% success chance of forcing the lock, and then actually beating the lock. The trouble is, I can't find such a lock. I tried having a low security/luck skill, but the lowest success rate I saw was +24%. If you know the answer to this one, please step forward.
10. SECRET ACHIEVEMENTDon't be worried when you see these achievements (there's 3 of them, I think). These are actually storyline-related, and will unlock eventually for you.
11. Other secret achievements, with readable-title.Other than the secret achievements above, the other secret achievements are also are storyline-related, and will unlock eventually for you.
All in all, the only achievement not accounted for is #9 BRAWN BEATS BRAINS The ones I omitted seem pretty self explanatory, so I didn't list them. Hopefully, this thread will be wrapped up shortly and completed, so someone could put up a complete achievement guide on the Wikia page. So once again, this thread is a walkthrough only for the achievements of TLS3:UC.
This thread is done. The requirements for the last unattained achievement has been posted on the Wikia page. I also copied and pasted what I wrote below.
BRAWN BEATS BRAINS Most force-able locks have a minimum security requirement 20 or more to access them, except for one lock in Pinedale. It is located in at house #10, or the house right of the safehouse, in the far-right room of the first floor. Since this is at the beginning of the game, create a character with level 1 Luck and 4 Security; 1 Luck and 5 Security; or level 2 Luck and 4 Security. This ensures that your character has the low force-chance requirements to get this achievement when forcing this specific lock.
any possible way to get into the right side of the bank? how to unlock achievements named: ball game? i've beat this game countless times on survivor and run and gun...yet i cant unlock ALL ahievements
I find that that's the problem; it seems almost impossible to get all of the achievements with one character. I really want to know what the last unlockable is...
eoin is lying, it's impossible to get all achievements. You would need to find at LEAST 33 locks (30 to pick, 3 to break) and going through the WHOLE game three times now I've found a mere 18.
Correction to one of the achievements, and apologies to anyone who messed up b/c of it.
OH COME ON - Force and break a lock with +95% chance of successful break.
In the initial thread I said 90% based on faulty information from another thread. Just like the information Aldinat and eoin are posting in this thread.
Just got the OH COME ON achievement and I confirm it is actually 95%.
Where are you guys finding 30 locks? I have also beaten the game several times and have only found 18. A list of locations would be helpful. Plus, in addition to the right side of the bank, there are several doors that do not indicate needing a key or picking a lock, yet do not open. Is there a way to get through these?
I've heard of guy who got the 30 locks through cheating. I think I may know how to do it, but he already said there's really nothing to get at 100% other than bragging rights. Oh well. Maybe there'll be some expansions/updates later. Oh yeah, and ignore eoin.
Achievements are now easier to get, due to new version updates. The wikia for this game has been updated with the new (easier) requirements for some of the achievements, making the 100% actually possible (though I'm pretty sure there's nothing extra to get at that point).
