Untitled Agent Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) looking over all the threads so far, we have a bunch of useful guides, all scattered across different pages and unneccesarily difficult to find if anyone's looking for them (just look at how many threads there is asking the same questions, despite having guides around that should answer those questions). so i figure having one place with links to all the guides should be helpful. the guides are grouped by type (achievements, crowns etc), with a list of known glitches (both good and bad) at the bottom of the post. Achievements Untitled Agent- Alternate Achievement Guide Wilmo X- Achievement Guide and Road Map Crowns Echtzeit- Crown Guide NS Jim MenaMan- Crowning Glory Video Guides Challenges XxhellishjxX- Perfect Dark Starter's Guide Firing Range Caramel Cardinal- Firing Range Medals and Tools of the Trade Achievement Guide Untitled Agent- Firing Range Guide Leaderboard Firelyte Stone- Leaderboard Score Guide Currently Known Glitches - Defection noclip it's possible to complete mission 1.1 in ~6 seconds (agent only) by dropping on the first guards head/the first door, crouching and falling through the building (videos on youtube). much less useful on special/perfect unless completing objectives in a different order to normal. - Invisible Mines throw a mine on an ammo box then collect the ammo- the mine will disappear (best used for proxy mine traps) - Firing Range Laptop Sentry a sentry can be thrown out just before starting weapons challenges, this can make a lot of the challenges ridiculously easy (and can make others impossible) - Prime Target despite what the description says, obtaining any 29 stars will unlock the achievement, usually the next time the game is booted (you can earn up to 4 stars on each challenge, based on the number of people the challenge is completed with) - Slayer Dummy Rockets fly by wire rockets consistantly don't explode ~20% of the time, whether manually detonated or crashed into a target - seems to be fixed in TU2 - Devastator Wall Huggers greandes from the wall hugger secondary mode occasionally don't explode - Tools of the Trade sometimes the achievement doesn't unlock due to progression not saving properly (as seen in the 50000 other threads on the subject) - should be less common post TU2 - Combat Simulator Stats for some people, stat tracking stops working and nothing is tracked in simulator games - Difficulty Completion Bugs very occasionally difficulty achievements don't unlock after completing all levels on a difficulty (however most cases where people think they have this glitch, they've just forgotten levels that were completed on higher difficulties) - Laptop Sentry the sentry will only use 100 bullets, instead of the intended 200 - fixed in TU2 - Crowns some crowns will 'unlock' on other missions, despite already previously being unlocked properly Edited June 2, 2010 by Untitled Agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome killer Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Prime Target (despite what the description says, obtaining any 29 stars will unlock the achievement, usually the next time the game is booted) So does that mean I can get the stars for Challenge 1 with 1 player, 2 players, 3 and 4 and it counts 4 times? Or I have to beat 29 different challenges, which there's 30 and 30 is harder than 29. I'm hoping you mean 4 times on 1 challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shut off and restart the game and it should unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome killer Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I tried this earlier today and it worked! Frickin' awesome! I didn't think I'd ever get that achievement. The later challenges are too hard and no fun at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusOfDoom Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I can also vouch for the prime target glitch, i didn't even mean to do it, but i was looking up why it just unlocked and came across this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judagrmn Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks for the guide it will really help out. Would be awesome if it could get a sticky as well but good luck with that. I couldn't even get someone to sticky the ACTUAL Achievement Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I've had the Double 64 (as has someone in one of the PD comments for an article on it at this site), complete a co-op mission, and (obviously) Tools of the Trade cheevos glitch on me. Not tried counter-ops yet so not sure whether it's glitched for me. Pretty pathetic really, lucky for me that they're just achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fakan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 As long as this is brought back to the top, might as well point out a couple glitchs I've found that'll hopefully be resolved with the next update: 1) Area 51: Rescue, just once, when Jonathan normally makes a run for the consoles at the end to let the UFO escape, the danger music never played. Jonathan proceeded as normally, but enemies didn't appear and I couldn't activate the consoles myself, as if the even never started. Level still finished as normal, though, but ruined my good time. =( 2) Attack Ship, several times now, the skedar that attack while you attempt to hold the bridge will occasionally fail to spawn, to the point where the music will go back to normal. Doors remain locked for about a minute before one might unlock in order for the player to open it up and find a couple skedar running in place, oblivious. Ruined several speed run attempts. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty pathetic really, lucky for me that they're just achievements. were you trying to use the laptop sentry for double 64? those kills dont count towards the achieve at all (seriously, i did a first to 130 kills game using just sentries on an alt account and nothing).

Syrette Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 The theme award is almost definitely glitched for me too. Such a broken game. -1 for the bugs, another -1 for the combined infuriation of lag and no checkpoints in single player. 7/10 at most. Can't wait till I'm done with this.

The game never had checkpoints in single player on the N64 and I'm glad they didn't put it in this remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm well aware that it never had checkpoints. I typed that after a bit of nerdrage upon having to replay a longish level a few times. Calmed down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3M Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just like to confirm that both co-op achievements seem to be glitched. Did both of them with my bro last night, offline in splitscreen and neither of them unlocked!! Maybe be an issue with not being connected to live???? Anyone else had this problem?

Untitled Agent Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Just like to confirm that both co-op achievements seem to be glitched. Did both of them with my bro last night, offline in splitscreen and neither of them unlocked!! Maybe be an issue with not being connected to live???? Anyone else had this problem? did you do the whole mission (as in all parts of the mission, eg 1.1/1.2/1.3)? it's fastest to do something like carrington villa, since there's only one level. unless they've changed it in the update, the counter op one only unlocks for whoever is playing as joanna, and only when the mission is completed succesfully. edit: turns out they have changed it in the update, the counter op one unlocks for both players once a full mission is played through now without having to switch roles.

This. Me and my brother did the same thing and were like WTF where's the achievement but it literally means one mission as in how the levels are split up into missions on the level select screen.

lonesome killer Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Watch the entire cut scene after you finish the mission. Mine didn't unlock for the coop achievement if I just skipped ahead by pressing "A". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game really doesn't need checkpoints, or it wouldn't be as hard, and it would make speed running too easy. Also, in G5, don't quite go into the room with the camspy, then go run up to the safe room, place the debugger, then switch to the campsy and fly into the room. Wait out the alarm for about 15 seconds after it stops and the safe should open without wasting any time on the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby v Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ok so I tried doing the challenge trick and I have about 33 stars all together and still nothing. I cleared out my cache and have to play offline because I figured the update fixed it. I've rebooted my xbox a few times and still nothing. Did the update fix it and how many updates have there been?
