I got this achievement just by doin the combinations for the achievements, and then, tape+flare, tape+glowstick, tape+bloodpack and then empty glass bottle+water,so there isn't as many combinations as some people think...got my 1000/1000gs now, cheers!

 

I'm going to give this a try because this achievement is driving me insane.

 

Check out this post on the Gamespot forums:

You apparantly dont have to combine every item, only the TITLES of the items are enough. For instance, the game does not care if you make a molotov cocktail with handkerchief or bandages. Worked nicely for me, actually did get it in 5 minutes!

 

Beware of that house though, scary place

 

PS: Do it on Chapter 8, sequence 1. Here you start in a safe place with a shitload of loot lying around, makes it easier to get there safely as you dont have any items when you load a specific chapter/sequence.

 

 

I'll try that also

 

My journey to this achievement was actually quite painless; I used a minimal amount of combinations.

 

In addition to the item combos for other achievements, I did the following:

 

Bullets + gun

Taped explosive bottle + Ammo box

Taped spray + Ammo box

Taped bottle + Flare

Explosive bottle + handkerchief + flare

Taped spray + flare

Explosive glass bottle + handkerchief

Explosive plastic bottle + handkerchief

Bottle + glowstick

Explosive bottle + handkerchief + glowstick

Spray + glowstick

 

Additionally, I taped every object: Anti-rust spray, mosquito spray, medical spray, blood pack, flare, glass and plastic bottles, and glowsticks.

 

I never used water combinations at all; I did, however, pick one up out of one of the machines, which may in itself account for a combination. I also used one bottle (both plastic and glass varieties) to fill another, which may count for something.

 

Best of luck in getting this.

 

 

Sotheing else I will try

Thank you jokerxbl and RonanN1 for the lists. I followed RonanN1's however and I think my game glitched in a good way. I know for a fact the only time I did anything with the blood pack was when I was messing around and just double taped it. I wound up going through RonanN1's Episode list and got to Episode 3 Sequence 4 and all I did was double tape a flare and I got it. So either the game thought I did so many things with the blood pack (which I didn't) or it glitched. Either way I'm happy it's out of the way!

Thanks for the guide, turned out by the end the only "combination" I needed was MANUALLY inserting bullets into my gun instead of pressing reload... Go figure..

I love you! I just did everything mentioned on page 1 and it didn't unlock.

 

Already lost hope, tried what you mentioned and it unlocked.

 

THX!!

You can easily get this as early as ep3.

 

Whene you emerge from the sewers into the park just bob over to the white circle on the map in the SW. In the boiler room of this house before the three roots of evil is (almost? see below) everything you need. A single rare flare is found here and is what i was looking for as I had all else done in ep2.

 

You may need to bring with you a hankerchief (if you find a grot mag). Do not drop the hankerchief in the water as I don't think you can pick it up again. I also already had taped glass, plastic bottle and spray can all with my backup full boxes of ammo and to save space I had a hanky on one of the bottles and a bandage on the other.

 

This is what I found (from memory).

  • Flare


  • Glowstick


  • Bullets


  • Blood Pack


  • First Aid


  • Bandages


  • Tape (next room)


  • Glass bottle (just outside)


Explosive Plastic Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Handkerchief + Flare

Explosive Plastic Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Handkerchief + Glowstick

Explosive Plastic Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Handkerchief + Bullets

 

Explosive Plastic Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Bandages + Flare

Explosive Plastic Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Bandages + Glowstick

Explosive Plastic Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Bandages + Bullets

 

Explosive Glass Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Handkerchief + Flare

Explosive Glass Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Handkerchief + Glowstick

Explosive Glass Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Handkerchief + Bullets

 

Spray Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Flare

Spray Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Glowstick

Spray Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Bullets

 

Explosive Glass Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Bandages + Flare

Explosive Glass Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Bandages + Glowstick

Explosive Glass Bottle + Double Sided Tape + Bandages + Bullets

 

Bloodpack + Double Sided Tape

 

Glowstick + Double Sided Tape

 

Flare + Double Sided Tape

 

Combine two bottles of liquid together.

 

I followed this to the letter and I got the achievement.
