Hokie Ghost Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I had a lot of fear going for this achievement and it seems like there was still a lot of confusion and conflicting statements on this one adding to my fears that I screwed it up. Even after reading hundreds of posts I wasn't sure if I was screwed or not but here's exactly How my unlocking this achievement played out if it alleviates any other gamers fears great! For starters I went for this legit. I played offline. Did not have patch/update installed. Played all the way to end of Arcadia level without reading that there were issues with achievement. Died roughly 5-10 times between start and Arcadia (esp. facing first two BDs). Once I appears in VITA I never hit the "A" button to respawn. I always immediately loaded up a save file. Then I installed the update and played all the way to Olympus without dying at all. Then I reinstalled the DLC because I had the glitch where it wouldn't let me turn off VITAS. Now I disabled VITAS at Olympus. Played to the end. Achievement POPPED. Many gamers said they loaded save and killed Atlas and it popped and they prolly didn't have the update until they did this since they came out at same time. Gamers have said that they died but loaded saves and it didn't pop for them so my opinion is either a) the update/patch starts logging/tracking whether you die and appear in a VITA or b) physically pressing the "A" button once in the VITA and then attempting to load a save is what's screwing ya. 5 years in the making and this game is finally DONE!

Kaleptik Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know if the achievement glitch is still working? EDIT: I have confirmed the achievement glitch still works. Start the game on easy. If you don't have the "Disable Vita Chambers" option, then download the DLC again from a DIFFERENT Xbox Live connected account. However, it doesn't matter if you download the DLC again at the very beginning of a new game or before you defeat Fontaine. Once you're on the last vial and it's halfway drained: Hit start Go straight down to the difficulty level GO LEFT to Hard DO NOT PRESS B. PRESS START. Done. Brass Balls Unlocked. Verified 10/01/13.

I am totally going to try this!! One question: Does this unlock the Seriously Good at This achievement as well? EDIT: I can also confirm this glitch works and unlocks both achievements! Thank you SO much for posting! Saved me a lot of time and frustration! Edited October 18, 2013 by mrssmith626 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the help. Would have gotten brass balls years ago, but I had no idea how to get the vita chambers working again after I transferred my hard drive to a new xbox. I must say the difficulty glitch worked wonders as I was able to enjoy this game one last time; instead of throwing my controller into the wall. Finally I can put this game down after having it since its release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearCat300 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 For anyone still trying, the glitch did not work for me as a word of warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distractor08 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 For anyone still trying, the glitch did not work for me as a word of warning. I just beat the game today and it worked for me. I had to do it a couple of times to get the timing right for the white screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chechoman Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 i got the game a year ago and i would love to complete the game but this achievement seems to be a part of a dlc that is free, the problem is that i can not download that dlc.(maybe because im not from U.S.A) is there a chance to get the achievement without that dlc?

Dan314 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm just posting something to unlock my account. Fingers crossed. p.s. Bioshock is a great game. Storys and quirks with games like this and Prey are what keep me coming back to FPS games (I'm all about RPG's...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I JUST D0 WORK Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 This achievement is still glitched on me. I've done every trick in the book and beaten the game legit on hard without vita chambers enabled at least 5 times and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetBlackMagic Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Can anyone help me find one of the original walkthrough video series for "brass balls" that was so helpful and descriptive? It's probably been close to ten years (and may not even exist anymore), but the guy who did it was really good and I'd like to use it again for the remastered playthrough. I can't remember his name or really much else except that he started a walkthrough for 2 and never seemed to finish it. I've searched on YouTube, but there are so many different ones now that it's like the proverbial needle/haystack. Thanks in advance! **MORE INFO - He focused solely on a melee build in regards to strategy** **FOUND - MacTiddy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZSDj4wMB6bvaAnwNmFX-Jg ** Edited April 5, 2018 by SweetBlackMagic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
