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.

Haha thanks for the correction there. If only I had a £1 every time someone called me a guy or sir around here. ;)

 

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 :confused:

Did you do normal or Hard? 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! Agh this has annoyed me.

This was the way I got it...

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.**:p

Figured it out.

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 :(
