Achievement Walkthrough (Easy/Quick Method)

FroZeNSouL said:We don’t just automatically take something from forum posts, someone has to actually volunteer to take a walkthrough on and write It themselves. If you didn’t apply, we weren’t just going to make it the official site walkthrough without you knowing.

Sorry, understood, can see how my comment was perceived that way though.
Aware have not submitted, forgive the abruptness, was more of a query to see if would be appropriate in any shape or form, or if would need major retooling.
Was fully expecting the comment to be sitting there for a few months till was noticed.

The guide is a summarised text version of someone elses utube video,
tips for certain sections & a curated map playlist that I put together to auto unlock the bulk of achievements.

Perhaps maybe too basic or needs elaborating?
Rework formatting?
Or does it need to be officially submitted before worth looking at?

Well since someone has taken the walkthrough on now, it will be down to them how they want to handle it, but a lot of the time we will require a in depth enough write up of the steps to get all of the achievements.

If it’s based off of a video, that’s fine, but it needs to just have enough text to back it up and guide the user through without having to refer to the video if they don’t want to.

Haven’t read yours fully there, I just quickly skimmed it, but for future reference, may need a bit more information to make it in-depth enough, but we would feedback with you as we go as well.

No worries, thanks for explanation.

If someone taking the reins for now, ill let it be.
Only way I see the guide having an adequate level of description to avoid video, is if i screenshot a great deal of it, to lead people to the collectables/extra characters.
Honestly don't see myself getting round to it, but understand videos/channels can be removed from utube & the good practice to have full guides archived without external dependencies.

If elements of my guide are used, thats fine,
but obviously credit should go to BiLLzuMaNaTi - Achievement Land for the original video & the original poster here on TA

We are currently looking for a new owner, please post in here or send the Walkthrough Manager a PM if you are interested in writing it.

The walkthrough has now been published.

The guide needs minor updating as the Achievement Cheeser by Biervampir[AUT] and the campaign that was possible thanks to FroZeNSouL no longer exists on Xbox One however these may have been re-uploaded by Landfall and a few others.

Edit: The ones I found by Landfall just have a different gamertag/username than what's mentioned here in the guide and very slightly different controls than what the guide mentions, but otherwise it appears to be the same as the guide, but anyways thanks, this will be incredibly useful for the daily achievement in game pass quests.

ManicMetalhead said:Another thing to note is that both the LS and RS only control the camera in free look mode, in the unit placement mode the RS controls the box used for highlighting, placing, and removing units. In this case the LS controls the camera, weird but it may take some time for me to get familiar with as I'm used to the RS controlling the camera. The Y button when held on the pause menu will bring up the gamepad (Xbox one controller) controls.

At least Landfall didn't take full credit for this as there is a bit of text that appears to confirm that CastleVanic is Landfall's creation and that most of them were not made by Landfall, in fact some of them were 'tweaked', which is suggesting that some of them were changed in some way. the text can be found by viewing the campaign in the custom content and pressing down on the d-pad, this was all I was able to figure out though, you may be able to figure out the parts that I missed.

Has something changed with the Zip Zap map? For some reason Zeus doesn't actually kill 20 of them with one attack despite following this guide exactly as stated. On another note, the map right after this one doesn't count ice arrows as doing damage causing you to get 2 achievements there.

Edit: I didn't realize the Zip Zap map is luck based as I got it without altering anything after a few more attempts.

This will be useful, what I've done is I uploaded a custom campaign that will individually unlock the achievements that say to Win a battle with each X unit (X being the name of the unit faction) instead of having them unlock all at once like in the custom campaign that Landfall re-uploaded. This custom campaign uses the override unit limit setting on the final battle.

Name of custom campaign: Poor Healer
