Introduction











Welcome to Achievement guide for 100% completionist. There was no such a guide on internet so i though it would be a good idea to post one.
First of all I'm sorry if there is any mistake in text. English is not my main language.

Achievements in this game are pretty easy so it should't be a problem to complete them all. You can do all of them in one playthrough but it's very hard so i recommend you to play it at least twice. One playthrough play on Smart and Resourceful, Rite of Passage or One with the Jungle and 2nd play on Deadly Obsession. I recommned doing all achiev. with enemies on lower difficulty because it's a lot easier.
