IEvil IMonkey Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Here is a link to the PC version of the game which will get you on the way to 1000g (I found it hidden away in the Discussion thread) NOTE - IT WILL INCLUDE SPOILERS SO USE AS YOU SEE FIT http://www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcSs/SH6/SH6.htm (Thanks to Mangoose for finding/posting the link) Please check the Achievement Discussion thread for a few side notes on possible achievements that COULD be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dauntless Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Thanks. But it might be worth listing the achievements that the guide misses, Edited September 22, 2012 by The Dauntless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLaKgRaVy Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The guide itself has all the achievements, although for the PC version, they are called "Honours". Going through the walkthrough and based on other people's comments, it seems that the following are missable: Pea-Souper A Very Fine Loafer The Holmesian Blackmailer The Brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born Apophis Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks for the guide! I love this genre of game... and this one puzzles are actually harder than the ones in the first Sherlock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IEvil IMonkey Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I found this guide using google as i was stuck on a puzzle!!

I used the guide and still didn't get THE BRAIN achievement .... any ideas mate as I see you have full 1000g now It might help to know also how many puzzles there are in the game. There might be somewhere that doesn't seem like a puzzle yet it is and vice versa. So far from the guide, I found (using CTRL-F): The Chessboard The Chest-safe Jenny's locker Alarm on the prison doors Grave box Electric box Farley's office (deduction board) Roman Numeral box Fraternity name puzzle Chest inside Judge Beckett's secret room Grate in the sewer mechanism Animal puzzle Work shed padlock Merry-go-round control panel Planted bombs puzzle around the carousel Are all these considered puzzles? Are there any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmon Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Can someone list all of the missible achievements and how to obtain them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEvil IMonkey Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Can someone list all of the missible achievements and how to obtain them? You are best reading the other threads and following the guide That said, I along with others still didn't get achievements but that's down to the game being a bit glitchy in places I'm afraid and a 2nd run through may be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnoutbabe Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) missable are a very fine Loafer: speak to a load of people in whitechapple before going to where you are supposed to. Homesian: Check out all objects in Holmes house - can be done in a few places but i missed the fishing line above Watsons room on 1st sweep. Blackmailer - 3 conversations where you must choose a blackmail option - separate thread on this. The Brain - do all puzzles ie no skipping, i got this but others did not. Pea Souper- use the LT hint button 15 times (very easy). hit LT and then it will flash where to go or DING when you are by what you need. Edited September 26, 2012 by burnoutbabe changed the names around to correct ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLaKgRaVy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) missable are Pea Soup: speak to a load of people in whitechapple before going to where you are supposed to.

Lofian - use the LT hint button 15 times (very easy). hit LT and then it will flash where to go or DING when you are by what you need. (I may have Lofian and pea souper the wrong way round) The least you could do is get the damn achievement names right... And yes, you have "Lofian" and "Pea Soup" mixed up. As I said in post #3 of this very thread, the missable achievements (with the correct spellings) are: The guide itself has all the achievements, although for the PC version, they are called "Honours". Going through the walkthrough and based on other people's comments, it seems that the following are missable: Pea-Souper A Very Fine Loafer The Holmesian Blackmailer The Brain And as IEvil IMonkey stated two posts up, if you follow the walkthrough, you will get everything. But, some people are having trouble unlocking "The Brain", which is why I listed all the puzzles in the walkthrough (post #7) and asked if that was all of them. Nobody's replied yet.

burnoutbabe Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 just saying "use the walkthrough" isn't that helpful as lots of people want to solve it themselves BUT know they have not missed the missable achievements so just want to know when they will come up and what they need to do to not miss them.

xD Rick Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Guys, how long it takes to get the full 1000G?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want us to guide you through the parts that are missable That kinda goes against you doing it yourself Why not just play it and get whatever score you can from it then if you don't want to use the guide as doing this (or using the guide) still doesn't mean they will unlock at all anyway as its a bit glitchy Guys, how long it takes to get the full 1000G?? I used the guide and it took me 10hours You're looking around 20hours if you want to do it yourself but as I stated above some achievements maynot unlock so you would still need a 2nd playthrough to get the full 1000g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I´ll just do it with a guide, too much to play and too little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 i did follow the walkthrough, i only missed one achievement, called the holmesian. in the guide, they say to touch something above the fireplace, some letters and you can not touch anything at that point, so this must be done earlier in the game. every other achievement is in the right order of the guide.

xKRAIZEEMANx Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Installing this right now to my HDD....Looking forward to utilizing the guide. From all that I have read, it looks like it will be needed. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) the letters the guide refers to later on in the game, are in the beginning of the game, the first time you check in at holmes' house, you can check the letters on top of the fireplace. once you come back from the judges house, you can check the letters another time, but it isn't what i hoped, because i have played the game twice until the point the guide says that you should get the achievement, but still nothing.... i got the last one: typewriter in watsons room bust in holmes' room letters on top of fireplace harpoon above watsons door Edited October 1, 2012 by dutchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiney Cheese Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The guide for the colored ball chest inside Judge Beckett's secret room does not give any specific description on how to complete this puzzle. Instead, it says you have the option to skip it if you want. Obviously, if you are going for "The Brain" achievement this is not an option. Since it looks like the puzzle starts of the same each time (and you can restart it anytime from the beginning) does anyone know of a definitive solution for this puzzle? Thanks.
