AmbaLaBamba Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) http://i45.tinypic.com/nlrew3.png To-do: + Add any information from users (ongoing) Overview: Estimated achievement difficulty: 2/10 (More if you decide to do the puzzles on your own) Offline: 32 [1000] Online: 0 [0] Approximate time: 10+ hours [Dependant on how fast you can progress] Minimum number of play-throughs needed: 1 [Following a walkthrough would be ideal as to not miss achievements] Missable achievements: 5 [blackmailer, The Brain, The Holmesian, A Very Fine Loafer and Pea-Souper] Does difficulty affect Achievements? No Unobtainable/glitched achievements: No Introduction: The New Testament follows on from the previous events from the first Sherlock game (Vs. Jack the Ripper), whilst it’s not a direct sequel is does continue their adventures together and their past adventures are mentioned. This is a simple and straightforward game (for the most part) with simple story related achievements, there are however some achievements which you can miss but if you pay close attention you can easily attain the 1000 in just one single playthrough. Notes: A good guide can be found here: http://www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcSs/SH6/SH6.htm thanks to the user IEvil IMonkey. Follow this and you shouldn’t have many problems. Original thread here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=388075 Roadmap: All I can really say here is follow the guide above, all achievements are earned in the single player. Take your time, don't rush and always make sure that you've searched everywhere in the location/s. If something seems out of place try clicking on it, you never know what you might find.

Hoping to work a little more on this at the weekend after some Uni work. Want to make sure it's packed with everything that is needed. I don't think it matters how polished you get it - the game is just glitchy and without a patch I think will stay glitchy as people are meeting the criteria of achievements but not getting them I followed the guide and didn't get THE BRAIN so had to do a 2nd playthrough - I followed the guide the same as my 1st playthrough and it popped so its just weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did you start from the begining again or maybe an early save? I'm not really sure if I can be bothered to start all over again, I might try reloading my last save now in hope lol!

GabbyBaby78 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Did you ever figure out how to unlock this achievement? I too am having troubles with this particular one. I have done it over several times & still I can't seem to get it. I solve the puzzle every time, but it does not give me the achievement reward. **Got it! For anyone else whom thinks they missed this achievement; as long as you did the door puzzle right(other than skipping it, the only way you can move forward in the game is if you do it right)& go into the room & solve the color puzzle correctly, you will then see the achievement pop up.** Edited February 14, 2013 by GabbyBaby78 Figured it out.

TriRock Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Attention to Detail didn't unlock for me the first time. I got it by reloading an old save, pulling out items of the magician's coat until it popped. I kept using until I ran out of things to discover.

SideshowN Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for the fantastic guide. Some of the achieves didnt pop exactly where the guide says they would be they all did pop nearby. The game was much more enjoyable with the guide as some of the puzzles were quite challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppys Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi, I wanted to point out that I just completed the game following the guide, and am kind of mad because I ended up finishing the story with 970/1000. The "Attention to Detail" achievement is missable. I searched the magician's clothes later in the game and thought I found everything, but according the the solution on TA, there is an item not story related that is required for the achievement. Hopefully you will update this as a "missable achievement" so others don't have the same problem, but otherwise, great guide. EDIT: I noticed a guy above me had the same problem, wish I had saved or followed a guide to make sure I didn't miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
