Overview:

Estimated achievement difficulty: 4/10

Offline: 40 [1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAA0AAAAMCAIAAAA21aCOAAABNElEQVQYlUWRIQoFIRCGvdaAwWQyGi2WxWIxCAoiPucIG7du37q3sHoBsxdYeMHHvgkDP/PBzP8PIYQQQkIIpZScs3POWuu9X9J7T96KMSKiMYZzzhhjjFFKhRDOOUT8od57RNRaU0q11sdxXNe177uUkjFmra21eu9JztlaCwDW2jHGGKO19jxP710pxRiLMaaUSClFSsk5b62tGaU0xnjftzFmLUFEknNmjGmt55zHcQCA1tp7H0JQSnHOpZS1VpJSerl93yml53mOMV4ppUREUkoRQggheu+tNSEE5xwRn+c5zxMAlFI/bts2AMg5zzlba9d19d7nnKUUAHDOpZRICOHz+UgpKaXOufu+F2qtXff8I0wp5ZyXUwB4+4JijP+XpJRWntu2aa2NMTHGWmsIYQFfiMHOm9+0v08AAAAASUVORK5CYII=]

Online: 0

Approximate time: 25 Hours

Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 + Case select

Missable achievements: None since you can use case select.

 

Roadmap:

 

Step 1: Five Star Run

On your first playthrough you will want to get a 5 star rating for every case for the "Shamus To The Stars" achievement. To earn a 5 star rating you must solve every case by finding almost every clue and correctly branching all questions. It is possible to miss 1 or 2 questions or clues and still get a 5 star.

 

The other factor that effect your rating is penalties, which has three categories: Vehicle damage, Civilian injuries and city damage. You can avoid most penalties by having your partner drive and fast travel you everywhere you need to go. While doing 5 star run I will list the misc. achievements you can unlock in order in the guide.

 

Step 2: Street crime and misc. achievement mop up.

You can actually do these achievements during your five star run but since street crimes involve shootouts, car chases ect. it will increase the chances of you getting penalized and hurting our 5 star rating. Instead wait until you are promoted and each time you will unlock a free roam under the cases folder on the case desk from the main menu.

Step 3: Collectables.

 

While doing cases you will naturally come across some collectables, mainly newspapers and landmarks. Aside from those don't bother hunting for film reels and cars until you have done everything else in the game as all the searching will increase chances for penalties.

Conclusion: Not a hard game to get the full 1000 just very time consuming.

Complete all cases on the Patrol desk.

 

Story related and cannot be missed. Should be your first achievement.

Find and inspect a clue as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.

Can't be missed. "The Driver's Seat." should be the first case you get this achievement.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1347/5-tDPp4=.jpgAsphalt Jungle 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Chase down and tackle a fleeing suspect on foot as an LAPD Detective.

 

When chasing a fleeing suspect in a case or street crime if you are close enough it will give you the option to tackle him to the ground. When you are close enough a message will appear and you have to mash A for a few seconds to sprint to him and tackle him.

 

There are many opportunities in both cases and street crimes to get this but I personally got it on the street crime "Cosmic Rays" during the case "The Driver's Seat." Try not to get stuck or fall behind and when he causes a traffic accident he will stop for a few seconds. If you kept up with him to this point you will be able to close the gap and get the option to tackle him as he starts running again.

Find and solve an inspection puzzle.

 

You will get this on the case "The Driver's Seat." Once you get to the Margaret Black's house there will be a broken heater outside the house by the kitchen window. Put the pieces back together and the achievement will unlock. If you actually need help solving it use the "Instaheat Flyer" clue for reference.

Use four intuition points in a single interview session, correctly branching each question.

 

You can earn up to five intuition points as you rank up and can check how many you have in your notebook. When you replay a case you will also start with five intuition points.

 

Once you have four points then go interview a person where you will ask at least four questions. When you get to choose truth, doubt or lie you can use an intuition point to either remove an option or check what percent the community chose for each choice. Choose anyone you like just make sure to use four points and answer correctly.

 

I personally did this when I interviewed Margaret Black on the case "The Driver's Seat." There are many cases to get this achievement though.

Use evidence to prove a lie as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.

 

Many places to get this but the first opportunity will be on the case "The Driver's Seat." When asking the question "Photograph signed Nicole" select lie and choose concealed message from your evidence.

Correctly branch every question in every interview in a single story case.

 

You must correctly branch (Truth, Doubt, Lie) every question in all interviews in a single case. You can tell you got it right by checking if there is a check mark next to the question when you cross it out in your notebook. Here is every correct answer for "The Driver's Seat."

Contents of wallet - Doubt

Bloodstained pipe find found - Truth

Complete a story case with a five star rating.

See "Shamus To The Stars"

Complete all story cases with a five star rating.

 

To get a 5 star rating in a case you will need to branch almost all questions correctly, find nearly all clues and don't rack up too much money in penalties. Penalties include city damage, civilians injured/killed, and vehicle damage.

 

Missing 1 or 2 questions or clues with a little penalty fine will still get a 5 star rating. Also using intuition points does NOT hurt your rating. You can check which cases you got a 5 star rating on by going to cases in the main menu.

Complete all street crime cases.

While driving a police vehicle around the city you will occasionally get a message on the radio about a crime in progress. Press A to respond and the AOL yellow person icon will appear on the map to mark the location. These street crimes vary from shootouts, hostage rescues, and chasing suspects. There are 40 in total. It is best to do this in free roam from each case folder from the main menu since street crimes only appear in certain case folders. You will get a message once you have finished all street crimes from a case folder and can move to the next one.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1347/5-juuzU=.jpgPublic Menace 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Rack up $47,000 in penalties during a single story case.

 

At the end of a case you get a rating page on how well you did. On that page it will show how much money in penalties you have racked up. There are three categories for penalties: Vehicle damage, civilian casualties, and city damage.

 

Destroying Vehicles seem to be worth the most money, around 1k each, so before finishing a case completely wreck at least 50-60 cars and it should be enough. Then finish the case. This cannot be done on any case from the patrol desk either, so don't attempt until you are on the case "The Driver's Seat" at the earliest.

At Ray's Cafe, find the bloodstained knife on your first sweep of the crime scene.

 

At the crime scene in the case “A Marriage Made In Heaven” make sure to get the bloody knife clue in trash can in the alley to the left of the Ray’s Cafe before leaving to another location. The achievement will unlock when you have to go see the coroner at the morgue.

Stop a fleeing suspect with a warning shot as an LAPD Detective.

 

When chasing a suspect you sometimes have the option to fire a warning shot in the air to make them stop. To do this you must aim your pistol at the suspect. When you do a circular meter will appear and begin to build. You must keep your gun pointed at him for a few seconds until it fills to fire the shot. If you lose sight of him the meter will go down.

 

I got this achievement on the case “A Marriage Made In Heaven.” When you chase Leroy Sabo keep up with him and at one point he will run down an alleyway in a straight line. This is your chance to keep the gun on him and fire a warning shot. The achievement will unlock at the end of the case.

 

If you don't get it here there are many other opportunities in other cases and street crimes to get it.

Tail a suspect without being spotted, in a single case.

 

In the case "The Fallen Idol" after leaving the hospital you will see June Ballard leaving and are tasked to follow her by car. Keep your distance and follow her to a cafe. If you're too close the car icon on the map will flash indicating you to slow down. Also driving recklessly will make it flash as well. Once you're at the cafe you need to get in without her noticing you. When she is on the phone casually walk inside and take a seat at the booth on the left with the newspaper. The achievement will then unlock.

 

This achievement is unmissable unless you choose to skip the event. If you get spotted you can retry and the achievement will still unlock once beaten.

Complete a brawl without losing your hat as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.

 

In the case "The Fallen Idol" after tailing June to the cafe you will have drive quickly to a hotel to stop two people from hurting someone by fighting them with your partner. Do not let your partner drive/fast travel or you will miss them and it will save. Once the fight starts you can't get hit once or your hat will fall off so block often and pick your shots. If your partner wins it'll make the fight much easier. If he loses you might want to consider quitting to menu then select resume to try again.

 

If you don't get it here there are many other opportunities to get this in other cases and in street crimes.

Disable a suspect vehicle with help from your partner.

 

On the case "The Fallen Idol" after you interview Marlon Hopgood at the studio you will get a scene. After the scene you will have two cars shooting at you. Your partner will shoot back at them from the passenger window. Position yourself where he has a shot at the wheels of the car and he will shoot them out and disable the car.

 

If you don't get it here there are many more opportunities during cases and street crimes to get this.

Bring down a total of 30 bad guys with head shots.

 

Self explanatory. If you do all the street crimes you will have more than enough bad guys to get this.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1347/5-xZJR0=.jpgLead Foot 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Keep the needle above 80mph for more than ten seconds while driving.

For this I used the new police car you get when you are promoted to homicide in "The Red Lipstick Murder." I then went to 5th Street, located near the Pershing Square landmark, and started on the far West of 5th Street and drove East. To my knowledge there is no way to check how fast you are going but there are plenty of dips on this road to increase speed. Don't make any hard turns to avoid cars and you should get it shortly.

There are 95 different vehicles in the city. 15 of them are unlocked as you rank up and a question mark symbol will appear on your map showing where they are. Here's a guide with pictures and videos and a general location of all the cars. Please note that the locations are not always exact and can require some luck as well.

On the case "The Set Up" You get the follow scene after staking out Candy's apartment. Simply keep your distance at maximum. Walk slowly, don't run. If the icon flashes then run a couple of steps and walk again. Just keep your distance and walk slowly and u will be fine. You can only use incognito at the beginning when she is leaving her apartment. Do not take cover (RB) at any time either.

Drive more than 194.7 miles.

 

Self explanatory. Get any vehicle, preferably a fast one, and drive around the city. Letting your partner drive does not count so try to do some driving in cases and collectable hunting if you don't want to mindlessly drive in free roam.

Find and inspect 95% of all clues.

There are 242 total clues in the game so you will need 230 to get this achievement. Should come naturally as you're trying to get 5 stars on each case.

If you don't change any settings in the options menu then you will hear a chime every time you are near a clue. You can also use intuition points to show all clues, then restart to save the point and find them again. When you finish a case it will tell you the total amount of clues there are as well. Also note that only clues where the message "New Clue" pops up count. If it just gets updated or no message appears at all then it does not count towards the achievement.

Kill at least one bad guy with every gun.

 

There are 8 guns you will need to kill someone with. Most of them are dropped from bad guys through many cases and street crimes.

 

  • .44 Magnum - Default gun as a patrol cop. Start the case "Armed and Dangerous." and press LB to drop the shotgun.
  • 12 Gauge Shotgun - Start with it in the case "Armed and Dangerous." Bad guys will drop this as well.
  • Colt .45 - Your default gun as a detective.
  • Thompson SMG - Bad guys from many cases and street crimes will have it. There's a bad guy with one at the final event on the case "The Fallen Idol."
  • Tommy gun (modified thompson with a round drum) - Bad guys from many cases and street crimes will have it. There's a bad guy with one at the final event on the case "The Fallen Idol."
  • M1 Garrand - Bad guys from many cases and street crimes will have it. There's a bad guy with one at the final event on the case "The Fallen Idol."
  • Browning Auto-Rifle - Easily found in the final case as many bad guys will have it. There's also one in the same spot as the flamethrower.
  • Flamethrower - Obtained in the final case at the final event in the sewers. Right before the scene where the water rises you will find a room full of guns. The flamethrower is in there.

i dont understand where the swine blood is.;

 

Edited it a bit more. Its not something you can actually locate or examine. Once you get to the point where you have to interview Frank at the bar and after the questions and you go to leave you should get the "New Clue" message. If not then don't go to franks apartment or youll get an event that will end the case without getting the clue. Have your partner drive to mrs black's house and it should appear.

Shamus To The Stars 80 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Complete all story cases with a five star rating.

 

To get a 5 star rating you will need to find all clues[...]

 

You're lying. Why would I help you if you keep lying to me?

 

I found 15/16 clues, but correct answer to all questions (?) and get 5 star

Really? I missed one clue and got only 4 stars. I might have been penalized too much but I might have been wrong. If so I apologize. I can edit if others confirm. Since you need 95% though you might as well try to get all the clues. Will edit though

He wasn't lying, per se.

 

He was mistaken, and even then it's not much of a mistake. It probably works like the 100% achievement on Bully, as in if you find all clues, then you have more room for causing a bit of havoc. Bully did this; if you complete all side missions, you can skip buying some of the clothes, or finding some of the collectibles, as it would add the .xx% for it, in it's place.

 

So, I'd agree with the guide writer; find all clues to get 5*s, otherwise you will have to do that little extra for the stars.

 

EDIT: The guide is looking pretty good so far. I won't be using it on my first play through, but may come back to it for the collectibles. However, I would advise changing the Roadmap section of the guide. I'd include an introduction to the game, and a Steps section, saying what to do first, such as complete the story, then what to do 2nd, such as replay cases to 5*, etc.

 

Also, missable achievements should be none, as you can replay cases, therefore you do not have to start a New Game. The missable achievements section is only for achievements that are a one shot on your playthrough, such as Prince of Persia's "Less than 100 deaths" achievement.

I'm actually pretty sure getting 5 stars has alot more to do with getting all the questions right then the clues. I've pretty much gotten all clues through the game but I haven't gotten 5 stars on alot of stuff because I missed questions.(This is of course assuming my damage is low.)

Yeah, I believe that would also be a contributing factor into the star system.

 

My reply was only based on prediction, not having the game yet.

 

EDIT: EliteShadowMan; The font is too big on your screen? On mine, it's smaller than normal.

Hey man, thanks for starting up a guide and roadmap. Given that this is the only one so far, we want it to be great, right? That way no one has to write a better one. Here are two suggestions I'd make to make this one much better:

 

1) Claiming achievements are missable is a big deal cuz it makes players careful and nervous not to miss them. A missable acheivement is one that, without a well-placed saved game, you would have to start the WHOLE game over to get. Is there any achievements like that in this? If missions are repeatable, then I would say no.

 

2) It is SO much better to list achievements in order you can get them, that way players can follow your guide like a roadmap without "missing" any. So if you felt like re-ordering your achievement guide, I can tell you with certainty that people will really appreciate it.

 

Thanks a ton and I look forward to starting to use your guide tonite! :)

People would appreciate it -- but I understand that x360a prefers the Achievements listed in the same order as they are listed in the game.
