How to unlock Living Legend
Missable achievement
Alright, for this one, you will have to run through the full campaign without dying once! You can get this achievement on any difficulty. So, whether it be casual, normal or (god) hard, it doesn't matter. On casual difficulty, you almost seem invulnerable and it'll take quite a lot of bullets to bring you down. On hard difficulty, you will die a lot (at least, I did)!! Never, ever use "mission select" on your playthrough because it will make this achievement not unlock!
Now, several people have found this little trick (also shown in the video below): when Sam dies, you'll be brought back to the "mission failed menu" where you can choose to get back to the last "checkpoint", "restart" the whole mission, or go back to the "title screen". Choose "Title screen", and from there choose "Game" then "Continue". It is similar to the "Checkpoint" on the previous screen, except for these two major differences:-
Title screen & Continue = registers zero deaths / Checkpoint = registers one death
-
Title screen & Continue = weapons are set to previous settings / Checkpoint = weapons remain upgraded
Tip: You might want to backup your saved game onto a memory unit or USB stick once in a while, so that you can return to an older saved game. If somehow you mess up by accidentally choosing "checkpoint" and you do not have a backed up saved game, you can press again, then select "restart". This will reset your deaths to zero but only on that mission (and not the entire Act!), and your weapons will have the same upgrades and ammo as when you started the mission the 1st time (thanks Solty).
