Miner Encounters
Rookie Photographer Capture 10 valid photographs of the enemy in motion.
Expert Photographer Capture 20 valid photographs of the enemy in motion.
You have up to seven encounters with the miners throughout the game, with a possibility of taking twenty-four photos in total. Even though the descriptions state that the photographs should be taken while the target is in motion, shots of stationary ones are also counted. For moving targets, timely and rapid shooting is needed to reach the number of valid shots stated in parantheses below.
1) Depth 2, one can be seen wandering behind the trees. (5 shots)
2) Depth 3, one appears right in front of you after picking up the gas can. (1 shot)
As you approach him, another one spawns behind him and rushes at you. (4 shots)
3) Depth 3 to 4, one can be found staring as you descend to the fourth level. (1 shot)
4) Depth 4, another miner rushes at you as you make your way to the 'device'. (2 shots)
(This one may not appear at all, depending on the route taken.)
5) Depth 4, one can be found standing guard with a needed key in hand. (1 shot)
6) Depth 5, another miner spawns behind and rushes at as you open the first (unmarked) door right behind the one with a hand-written warning on it. (8 shots)
7) Depth 5, you come across three doors labeled 0, 8 and 16, respectively. They are tied to the number of your valid shots up to this point - i.e., as long as you have sixteen shots, it is possible to open all three of them, yet opening one locks you out of the other two. Although the paths on offer differ slightly, all of them has a miner rushing at you. (2 shots) (16 is the fastest route).
Essentials
Free-faller Fall from a very high point.
Right after the first encounter with a miner in Depth 2, you come across an opening in the cave system with a pit in the middle. Drop down into the said pit. Note that this does not result in a death. In fact, it is the preferable way for descending as it is faster and leads to more collectibles than the other paths available at this point.
Rescue Team Locate a fire axe.
You find a cave-in with a detonator nearby as you explore Depth 4. Pick up the detonator, place three sticks of dynamite on the box and follow the on-screen instructions to detonate them. Check the place after the detonation to find the axe. Mind that not picking up the axe locks you out of another achievement, as well as two possible endings.
Code Cracker! Open the secret vault on the 4th depth.
You find a locked safe midway through Depth 4. A hint for the code can be found on its side.
In case you miss them, here is what to look for in the surrounding area:
If you can not figure it out, the code is: 5837. Besides its own achievement, unlocking the safe and picking up the contents is crucial for obtaining another three.
Gas Mask Located! Locate a gas mask.
As soon as you drop down a slope in Depth 5, check the right side for a small opening. This path leads to the mask but you require something for stepping on to get across the gap on the way. Go through the 'tunnel of doors' and reach the area with fenced compartments. Search the area to find a plank.
Make your way back to the opening, place the plank on the gap and get to the the other side. Use the fire axe to tear down the wooden barrier.
Place three sticks of dynamite on the box follow the on-screen instructions to detonate them. Further explore the place after the detonation to find the gas mask.
Be sure to equip the mask through the inventory screen as soon as you pick it up to avoid further contamination. Just as the axe that can be found in Depth 4 is required to get to the gas mask, the mask itself is also a must as you descend to Depth 6 (if you are aiming for either the second or the third ending).
Collectibles
Demolitionist Pick up 6 sticks of dynamite.
Gold Miner Pick up 7 golden coins.
Collector Pick up 3 blood trees.
A maximum of 7 dynamite sticks, 8 golden coins and 3 blood trees can be collected throughout the game. Listed below are all the collectibles in order of appearance:
1) Depth 1, a stick of dynamite can be found in the cabinet next to barrel with the shack storage key on it.
2) Depth 2, another stick of dynamite can be found in a cabinet on your way down to Depth 3, if you choose to descend by way of the route within the cave. (This route is not recommended.)
3) Depth 3, just as you come to your senses, turn back to find the first blood tree lying on the floor. Note that this area is only reachable if you choose to drop down into the pit in Depth 2. (This is the recommended route.)
4) Depth 3, after picking up the blood tree follow the path upwards to find a golden coin and a stick of dynamite on a couple of boxes. Likewise, these two are only reachable if you choose to take the 'pit route' in Depth 2.
5) Depth 3, a stick of dynamite and a golden coin can be found on top of a box lying near a bunch of trees.
6) Depth 3, another stick of dynamite and yet another golden coin can be found in a cabinet that is only unlockable if you have five valid shots by this point.
7) Depth 4, two golden coins can be found on a couple of barrels.
8) Depth 4, another golden coin can be found lying next to the 'device'.
9) Depth 4, a couple of coins, a stick of dynamite and the second blood tree can be found in the locked safe which is tied to a puzzle.
10) Depth 4, another stick of dynamite can be purchased for six golden coins from the dispenser found right next to the locked safe. Might as well if you have the coins, since they are not usable anywhere else.
11) Depth 5, the last stick of dynamite can be found in the area with fenced compartments.
12) Depth 5, still in the same area, there is a cabinet that is only unlockable if you have twenty valid shots by this point. The third and the final blood tree is to be found inside.
Endings
Since the game does not save your progress at all, three runs are needed to get all the endings.
Achieve Ending 1 Complete Depth 6 with the first ending.
Reaching Depth 6 without an equipped gas mask or already being fully (100%) contaminated before equipping the said mask results in the first (Sickened) ending.
Only having a gas mask equipped lets you explore Depth 6 further.
Coming upon a couple of elevators, you can either:
Achieve Ending 2 Complete Depth 6 with the second ending.
take the right one to ascend back to Depth 1, which results in the second (Defeated) ending,
Locate Depth 7 Locate Depth 7.
Achieve Ending 3 Complete Depth 6 with the third ending.
or take the left one to descend to Depth 7, which results in the third (Adventurous) ending.

There are also two secret endings, as discovered by turbomaxou.

Secret Ending 1 (Fatal): Ascend back to Depth 1 (as in the second ending) under 30 minutes.
Secret Ending 2 (Magical): Unlock the sealed door found in Depth 1 (details in the next section).
The Easter Egg
(Once again the credit goes to turbomaxou.)

Although not tied to an achievement, you may notice that the stats screen that comes up at the end of every run mentions an easter egg. If you want to access it, be sure to collect all three blood trees and the gas mask on your way down to Depth 6. Take the elevator down to Depth 7 (as in the third ending), pick up the access card but do not use it on the gate. Instead, take it all the way up to Depth 1. The sealed door with the symbols on it opens up as you approach, allowing you to explore further. On a side note, taking this path also results in the second secret ending (Magical).

That's possible. I mind it's fine as one doesn't need to collect all of them, the one you found are enough. I dont think you need to update the guide. Just wanted to mention it here, maybe for other players I dunno.

Muckelchen, this was more or less a 'Day 1' guide, created after playing the game thoroughly for a few times. I haven't updated it more than once (probably a few typos I noticed later) since then. On the other hand, the game got a few updates along the way. The 'extras' you have noticed were probably introduced through those. Thanks for the addendum, I will keep them in mind if I will spare the time for a replay and an update for the guide in the future. :steamthumbsup:
Muckelchen 18 Apr, 2022 @ 1:43pm 
So I ended with 8 Dynamite and 9 coins
Muckelchen 18 Apr, 2022 @ 1:42pm 
As well as another coin and an encounter with 4 shots later down that route, all still on depth 3 and another encounter with 1 shot a bit later. Tho if you take this route through the hellhole, you can't get the encounter 3 in your guide.
Muckelchen 18 Apr, 2022 @ 12:58pm 
thanks for the guide! On Depth 3 in the hellhole there is another dynamite.

I'm glad to have your approval Stan. Apart from Minds Eyes (that I have yet to play), I've thoroughly enjoyed all of your first-person adventures up to this point. Hope to see more from you in the future! :isitcoffee:

This is brilliant. Very well done. The secret endings (especially 1/2) were not supposed to be located for at least a month. Never did I imagine the game would be cracked this quickly!

I guess I need to increate the difficulty of the next games even further :)

Again, very well done!

Yeah, Magical Ending is easier to achieve due to not being on a time limit. I've just got it this morning. As for the easter egg, well, that was just what I expected, coming from Suite 776. Thanks again for the comments, I've just updated the 'Endings' and 'The Easter Egg' sections of the guide with due credit.

the 2nd one is much easier to achgieve thgough (you just need 3 blood trees and ascend from Depth 7 to Depth 1 with the access card)
the 1st is just a question of time, I didn't make it from my first try either you klnow :)
so far, my record was 21m for ending 1 and 29m for secret ending 1
but basically you just doing everything as you would for ending 2, but as fast as you can
