Historian - Part I
Collect every remnant in a playthrough.





There are a total of 104 remnants throughout the entire game. Remnants are letters that are marked with a glowing blue and red light.



The red remnants are randomly placed on the levels and there are no set positions on some of them. The only option is to search everything: desks, cabinets etc in order to find them all. The layout is different for everyone so no video can help with the locations. They count towards the activation of the Sigils. There are a total of 60 red remnants.


1-Hospital (21 Red Remnants)

2-Prison (14 Red remnants)

3-Sewers (16 Red remnants)

ps.: Sorry for the glitched water on the pier SS
Collector
Collect the thirteen cursed photos.






The photos are located in the beginning portion of each section and are presented as blue remnants on the safe areas. Make sure to check for them on the initial section and after each sealed door.


Hospital – Number of photos : 1

This photo is located to the left at the very start. Follow the stairs up and it's sitting on a chair.





Storage Area – Number of photos: 2

After you navigate the warehouse and after unlocking the door you will arrive in 3 long corridors full of boxes and books. Both photo 2 and 3 are located on the ground beside the pile of books. Photo 3 is right around the corner in the next corridor from photo 2.







Prison – Number of photos : 3

After you unlock the secret book passage in the doctor’s office you will find some boxes in a corner right before you enter the actual prison area. The 4th photo is located in the corner behind the boxes.




Photo 5 is in the area right after you exit the prison and is located on the top of a box. This is the area where you need to flip the switch to open the doors. It’s down the hall from the ghost that pops up on the hospital gurney.




Photo 6 is in this area as well behind some boxes on the floor.





Sewers – Number of photos: 2

The next two photos are tricky as you can easily miss them. When exiting the prison area you will come to a large hole in the ground that takes you into the sewers. Before you enter the hole go around it and both photos 7 and 8 are back here, they are right beside each other.

***Note: if you go in the hole you will miss these***







Docks – Number of photos: 4

After exiting the sewers you will find yourself in a large opening area with a giant well in front of you. There are two photos located in this area, collect them before going outside.

Photo number 9 is located in the boiler room, sitting on a box near the wall.




Photo number 10 is located near a group of rocks. After switching on the platform cross the giant well and go left, you will find the photo on the ground near a blocked off path.

***Note: if you go right first you will be blocked and miss Photo 10***




Photos 11 and 12 are both located on the docks after exiting the sewer area. Photo 11 is on the first dock near the back attached to a crate.




Photo 12 is located on a dock piece on the second dock after you exit the small shack. It’s also located near the back.





Forest – Number of photos: 1

The last photo is found on the dock area after exiting the forest. On the platforms you will see a remnant located in the dark water below. You must jump down and grab it on a wall in the middle. Note that this dark goo hurts you so you need to be quick. After grabbing it run back and climb the boxes out.

Minimalist
Collect the minimum number of remnants in a playthrough.




This one can be tricky as you must be careful on how many remnants you collect. Entering each area you will see a number in the bottom right corner. Once you collect the specific amount in each area do not collect anymore.




***Note: The blue remnants you collect before and after a section don't affect this achievement***
Lone Wolf
Finish the game using only a single flare.




This one requires you to complete the game using only one flare. In order to achieve this you must finish the entire game without using any flares. You are forced to use one later in the game so you must not use any during the course of the game to obtain this.
No Stone Unturned
Collect every single remnant.




This achievement requires you to collect every single remnant. There are 104 in total. By pressing the “option” button you can check the remnants option to see how many you have missed and in what area. These do carry over between playthroughs so if you do miss one don't worry you can get it on another run.
Thick Skinned
Survive 50 witch attacks.




This achievement requires you to see 50 witches and take damage. This is pretty easy as you will see many witches on your hard playthrough. Simply look at them and get hurt 50 times.

An easy way to achieve this is starting a game on easy. Find a ghost and look at it, turn around and look away and then look back at it again. Just keep turning around and looking at it, after 50 you will get this.

Another method is to find a flare deposit box where you can restock and run around on hard killing witches; this would also work.
A Bright Idea
Use a flare to keep a witch away.




To obtain it you simply need to use a flare and kill a witch. After using the flare look at a witch when near and it will die.
Sadomasochist
Finish the game on Hard difficulty.




To obtain this complete the game on the hard difficulty.


Hints and Tricks
  • Ghosts cannot harm you if you are not looking them head on. If you find yourself stuck walking backwards will keep the ghosts behind you from seeing you until you can turn and run safely.

  • Glowstick and flare deposits can be used infinite times. Use this to your advantage on hard mode.

  • In the forest remnant areas are indicated on your map by little glitch looking lines.
Visionary
Used a glowstick to unveil a secret.






This is obtained by unveiling a secret picture in the second warehouse section. After the ghost and fire disappear you will find an empty picture frame look at it with a glow stick to obtain this trophy.

Picture of Health
Finish the game without dying.




To obtain this finish the game without dying. This is easily achieved on the easy setting where dying is very difficult and the game has very little challenge.


Hints and Tricks
  • Ghosts cannot harm you if you are not looking them head on. If you find yourself stuck walking backwards will keep the ghosts behind you from seeing you until you can turn and run safely.

  • Glowstick and flare deposits can be used infinite times. Use this to your advantage on hard mode.

Hey, I managed to get all the achievements, the only one missing is "No Stone Unturned".
I only need 2 files in the forest section. I did multiple playthroughs already and currently I keep resetting the forest area. I get the same files over and over again. Any tips ?

Look like "Historian" is bugged at this time.

I found them by myself eventually, but you've done a grweat service cause you've got the only guide that shows all the blue remnant locations :)
Sarcinelli  [author] 19 May, 2014 @ 4:27pm 
There you go, updated the Historian section to add the directions and screenshots for the blue remnants.

Sorry for the delay I was away from my computer for the weekend.
Surrika Tunnah 16 May, 2014 @ 8:19am

Sarcinelli  [author] 16 May, 2014 @ 5:11am 
Okay, reinstalling the game here to grab some screenshots.
Surrika Tunnah 15 May, 2014 @ 3:03pm 
I was wondering if you could put up a position list for the blue remnants, I am missing 2 in the forest and don't know where to find them.
