THE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE NOT LISTED INTO SEPERATE SECTIONS, THEY ARE IN THE LEVEL SECTIONS WHERE YOU CAN GET THEM! IF YOU WANT TO SEARCH UP A SPECIFIC ACHIEVEMENT THEN USE CTRL + F AND TYPE IN THE ACHIS NAME!

It's a dead game (no pun intended) so I don't expect much exposure from this guide, but if by chance someone still want's to 100% this game then welcome to my guide! I hope I can make your playthrough easier! :D

The hardest achievement to get
Just complete the tutorial, you will probably get it in 10 minutes

For the Hobbyist collect 12 volumes. You basically get this if you get "The Collector" which requires you to collect all volumes, so from here on I won't bring up the "Hobbyist" achievement again!

Collect all 24 volumes
Every level has 5 volumes exepct this one, theres only 4. Its easy to find them but just to be sure heres a video that shows the exact locations ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q54EF4k9dnk&ab_channel=DANECOLLINS
(I like to explain things myself, however showing all the locations myself would either be vague or would take like 2-3 screenshots each, therefore I WILL link videos to show them)
This alone won't give you the achievement since you need all volumes from all levels

Kill 100 zombies
Sounds easy right? Well its probably because it is. Don't even worry about this achievement, it's not missable. Even if you somehow get through every map without killing the required amount of zombies, there's no way you could miss killing them in Survival mode.

Kill 50 zombies using melee weaponry only
For the record I don't know if you actually can't use ranged weaponry for this, however you won't find too many weapons let alone ammo for them and you mostly use melee anyway. Don't worry about getting this one, because you will get it before even realizing it.

Complete any level within 10 days.
Pretty easy to do, I got it on this map even tho I grinded out some other achis. If by chance you don't get it, then don't worry, most of the time you finish under 10 days

Complete any level without having any survivor being downed
Should be fairly simple, just don' let your teammates fight and avoid any risk.
I will further explain how to beat the map without your teammates in the next section

Complete the Greene Family Farm level
The first non-tutorial map in the game. pretty easy to do. At this point you're probably new to the game so you have to get used to the playstyle. Just do the tasks you're aksed to do however Don't open the barn doors yet
Since this is the easiest map, I want you to get as many achievements here as possible. First max out your strenght and intelligence stats but don't max out your speed. I've maxed out my speed before and frankly I didnt see any difference at all. If there even is a difference then its really minimal and not worth the grind.
Next find a good weapon. A Sword will do just fine if you can find one. If you find any pistols then take them with you too. You can check a weapons damage and speed by going to your profile and dragging a weapon into the weapon section at the bottom.
You got yourself a good weapon but you still need some protection. Look for a Duct Tape and Metal. Craft them together and you get the best armor in the game. If you find any type of medicine then take them with you too.
You usually dont need to sleep but at the next time its night I want you to save here.
Its time for the barn fight!

DO NOT LET YOUR TEAMMATES FIGHT.
Usually having 1 or 2 teammate by your side can help a lot in fights, however for the "No Casualties!" achievement do not use them on this map, since its the easiest to do here.
Wait for your teammates to go away and open the door.
What you'll want to do is to only lure away 1 zombie at a time and kill them. Repeat until all of them are dead. Use gun or medicine if needed.
The exit of the barn will be locked. Near the exit you'll find a bag containing the red key. Just leave it there for later. The zombies in the barn wont respawn and taking the key isn't necessary yet, since at the other side of the door is the end of the map.
Now that the map is basically done you can focus on getting the rest of the achievements.

Obtain at least one type of the following weapons; melee, pistol, rifle, machine gun and shotgun.
Basically just have all weapon type in your inventory at least once.
-Pistols start apperaing on the 1st level (Hospital)
-Shotguns on the 3rd level (Meriwether)
-Machine guns on the 4th (Woodbury)
-Rifles on the 5th level (Alexandria)
By getting Crafty Rick you will get this too since you will hold everything needed at least twice, So don't worry about it.
For now just get the pistols and you're done :D

Craft all extensions across ALL of the available melee and gun weapons.
These are the recipes that you can craft on this map. There are more recipes than this so this alone wont give you the achievement, however these are needed for the achi.

- Knuckle Duster: Razor Blade + Duct Tape
- Molten Chocolate: Lighter + Chocolate + Mug
- Multi-tool: Hatchet + Crowbar + Duct Tape
- Nailed Baseball Bat: Nails + Baseball Bat
- Nunchucks: Wire + Timber + Timber
- Paddle: Frying Pan + Broom + Duct Tape
- Razor Comb: Razor Blade + Comb
- Sharp Screwdriver: Screwdriver + File
- Sock Mace: Sock + Bar Of Soap
- Super Sock Mace: Sock + Battery
- Whip: Wire + Razor Blade + Timber
- Chopper: Timber + Balertwine + Sickle
- Heavy Hoe: Metal Sheet + Balertwine + Hoe
- Mace: Broom + Balertwine + Rock
- Power Drill: Battery + Drill
- Pistol + Spring + Electric Screwdriver
- Pistol + Spring + File

Here's a helpful page that shows all crafting recipes and item informations: https://theescapists.fandom.com/wiki/The_Escapists:_The_Walking_Dead/Items
Don't worry next time there won't be so many recipes :D

Place down the "Working Radio" item near a zombie and you'll get it
recipe for Working Radio is Depleted Radio + Battery and you must have 40 intelligence, but that shouldn't be a problem if you maxed out your stats at the beginning.

Collect all 24 volumes for The Collector. If you follow this video it should be really simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dh0FU-iijo&ab_channel=DANECOLLINS
Sadly only the link is showing and there is no little video player.
Also you need some kind of a wall breaker tool like a Crowbar in order to get into some of the houses

Spend 200 credits across any of the level’s vendor points
On the first map there are one vendor on the Top right and one at the bottom left
To get credits just complete the quests the survivors give you, most of them are pretty simple and can be done fast.
You don't need to spend all 200 credits at the same time or at the same place

Get through a day from 7:00 to 00:00 without any increase to the threat level on Meriwether
Do this on the 1st or 2nd day. Later on the level you will probably skip a task or two to finish your business faster, so do it while its not a big nuisance.
Do NOT miss any task and FINISH your jobs. This is important because your risk will go up if you miss anything
On the first few days while attending every task, you should focus on maxing out your Strenght and Intelligence stats. If you run out of energy then just go to rest on the bed until your energy is full again, then go back to maxing out your stats.

Have a zombie eat the "cooked meat"
Really simple. Throught the day you will get multiple tasks that you have to attend, one of them is a "kitchen job". You basically have to cook uncooked meat and then place them on a tray.
Do the task as usual but keep 1 "cooked meat". Go near a zombie and then right click on the "cooked meat" in your inventory to drop it. The zombie will eat the meat and you will get the achievement

Wear the "riot gear" and "walker make up kit" at any time.
You DON'T have to wear them at the same time, and you couldn't even do that because the 2 items are on 2 different levels.
There will be 2 riot gears inside the "cyan key" room, and you will need them to progress further on the level. When you get the riot gears then equip one and thats it for this level.
You only have to wear them for a moment to count but some people said the achievement is buggy for them, therefore I recommend saving with the "riot gear" equipped before finishing the level! Better save plus one time then miss the achievement for some stupid bug.

Successfully complete Meriwether County Correctional Facility
This map is a bit annyoing because there are too many tasks you need to attend.
On the first few days I recommend focusing on maxing out your strenght and intelligence stats. While maxing them out attend every task so your risk meter won't go up, and you can get the Safety First achievement.
I also recommend leaving one cooked meat when doing the kitchen job task so you can give it to a zombie for the Feed The World! achivement
After you're done with those you can finally start exploring more in depth!
Don't forget to get the items required for the Crafty Rick achievement while searching for items!
Now I'm gonna show you where the important items are for progression:

-Red Key
This desk contains the red key! If you leave the main building at the upper part and then immediately turn right and then down, you will see an open building. Go there and you will find the red key desk!

-Purple Key
Take the red key with you! You must look for a building with red lock doors in it. You can access this place from the vents in the main building or you can exit the building in the upper area and go left and a bit down until you find it. Inside the building you will find the desk containing the purple key in the top left corner.

-Jerry Can
Inside the same building as the purple key. You will find it in a desk at the bottom right corner of the building

-Cyan Key & Tubing
Take the purple key and a crowbar or some kind of wall chipper item with you.
When you exit from the red lock building then go left and then go up near the fences. You will eventually see a building with purple locks. Go inside and search the 2nd desk. Inside you will probably find a tubing. Note that you can find the tubing in multiple desks.
Some people reported that they also usually find a crowbar in that desk, so feel free to take that if you didn't bring one with you. On the picture you can see a wall that I mined out with the crowbar. Mine out the same wall and then search the desk thats in front of me. You will find the Cyan Key in it!

-Tin Of Paint
At the wall blocking the generator you will find a bag, and inside there will be 2 Tin Of Paints.
You need a total of 3 tin of paints tho. I believe the last ones location is randomized but Im not 100% sure. Look inside desks until you find one. When you do then make a "makeshift ladder" from the 3 tin of paints. Place the makeshift ladder at the same location mine is.

These are all the hidden items that are needed. Any other quest you have to do will be located so they won't be hard.
Put the gas into the generator and you have completed the level, also getting the Get Out of Jail achievement!

Craft all extensions across ALL of the available melee and gun weapons.
Here's the helpful website again, that shows crafting recipes and item informations: https://theescapists.fandom.com/wiki/The_Escapists:_The_Walking_Dead/Items
Here are the crafting recipes that you must craft on this level:
-Poker: Baton + Duct Tape + Sharp Screwdriver
-Shotgun + Hacksaw + File
-Shotgun + Pliers + Spring
It's been a common mistake that people say you can craft the "Poker" weapon on every level. That is NOT true however. The "Baton" needed for crafting the "Poker" can be only found on this level!

Obtain at least one type of the following weapons; melee, pistol, rifle, machine gun and shotgun.
You can find Shotguns on this level

Collect all 24 volumes
This video shows every location on this level:

Collect all 24 volumes
Woodbury locations are shown in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piGFGSyYXT8&ab_channel=DANECOLLINS

Obtain at least one type of the following weapons; melee, pistol, rifle, machine gun and shotgun.
You can obtain the machine guns on this level. You can mostly get them from guards if you loot their dead bodies, but you can also find one in a bag.

Craft all extensions across ALL of the available melee and gun weapons.
Recipes for this level are:
- Flag Pole: Duct Tape + Barber Scissors + Flag
- Molten Coffee: Lighter + Mug + Coffee
- Razor Claw: Knife + Duct Tape + Gold Ring
- Machine Gun + Pliers + Blow Torch
- Machine Gun + Pliers + Chisel

Finish Woodbury
Good thing about Woodbury: 0 tasks you have to attend, so you can just explore forever
Bad thing about Woodbury: Bunch of armed guards and big zombie hordes
The first thing I did is maxing out my Strenght and Intelligence stats but on this level it actually takes much longer for some reason. I won't force you to max out anything however if you take the time and do max them out then it'll be easier.
You must max out at least your intelligence stats tho because otherwise you won't be able to craft the weapons required for "Crafty Rick"

Important locations:
-Cyan Key
It's in the desk near me

-Purple Key
In the desk near me
Also you can see the Governor on the right. You will wan't to take Michonne there so you can escape and finish the level

-Where to free Glenn
You will need:
-The purple key
-some kind of a wall breaker tool like a crowbar
Go through the purple lock door and remove the wall. You're done!

-Where to free Michonne
You must go to the outer area of Michonnes cage to be able to destroy the wall and save her.
You can get there by either cutting the fence near her or if you go outside to the zombies and take a long walk.

-Where to escape
This is not the only location you can cut the fence, but its the quickest to cut a fence behind the governors building and escape.

Collect all 24 volumes
Video covering the locations:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAWwQjymchA&ab_channel=DANECOLLINS

Obtain at least one type of the following weapons; melee, pistol, rifle, machine gun and shotgun.
You can find the Rifles on this level.
With this you should unlock the "Weapon Expert" achievement

Craft all extensions across ALL of the available melee and gun weapons.

Recipes for this level:
- Heavy Club: Duct Tape + Trophy + Golf Club
- Mallet: Broom + Duct Tape + Toaster
- Tin Mace: Sock + Tin Can
- Rifle + Electric Screwdriver + Chisel
- Rifle + Electric Screwdriver + Scope

With this done you should finally get the "Crafty Rick" achievement! :D

Kill a zombie with a Trophy
Trophies are rare so when you find one keep it after doing the achievement so you can craft it into a weapon for the "Crafty Rick" achievement.
Trophies aren't exactly the best weapon so I recommend maxing out your Strenght stats.
I've also heard that making a zombie low HP with a weapon and then finishing it off with the trophy also gives you the achievement, however I couldn't test that out myself.

Wear the "riot gear" and "walker make up kit" at any time.
You can craft the "walker make up kit" on this level, and after just wearing it for a second, the achievement should pop up.
Do NOT wear the make up kit for too long because its gonna expire and you need 2 make up kits in order to complete the level
Im gonna cover the ingredients for the make up kit and where to find them, in the next achievement section!

Finish Alexandria
Once again I recommend maxing out your Strenght and Intelligence stats first.

Important locations:
-Cyan Key
After finding those fences below me, you probably wonder how to get inside them. Well go into the house on the left from it and there you can climb on top of the house from one of the vents. Climb above the fences and then go up or down to drop between the fences
Go inside the house and there you will find the Cyan Key

-Purple Key
Unfortunately you will have to dig like 4 tiles to access the bag but you will find the purple key inside.
If you don't have enough stuff for a sturdy shovel then I recommend doing this:
1. Craft a flimsy shovel
2. Start digging with it at the same spots as the picture
3. Stop digging before it breaks
4. Wait until you find a duct tape and a metal then upgrade it
5. Repeat from step 2 until you get a sturdy shovel or dig out the whole tunnel
Also if you do the metal job and place a few metals to the floor then you can keep them for later

-Red Key
This is a really well hidden key and it took me quite some time to find.
Look for the same building I am in and then go to the vents to access a ladder to the rooftop
From there you will find a zipline. Ride it all the way to the top of a house on the far left side of the level. From there you must go down in the vents. Search the desk inside and you will find the Red Key in it.

-Plastic Sheet & Walker Entrails
There are 2 locations and you will need both of them in order to escape. You can combine a Plastic Sheet and a Walker Entrails to craft the Walker Camouflage
Do NOT use the Walker Camouflage until it's needed because it can expire and you don't wan't that

Plastic Sheet location 1
You can find this big house by going up on the left side of the map. Inside you must go into the vents and take the ladder to the rooftop. Ride the zipline on the rooftop and it will take you to a bag containing a Plastic Sheet

Plastic Sheet location 2
You can find this house in the top right corner of the map, just above the exit.
You unfortunately have to dig some because the bag containing the Plastic Sheet is underground

Walker Entrails
You can find them by looting dead zombies

Im putting all 3 maps into the same section because the strategy for them is basically the same
They might sound hard but they are actually quite easy, matter of fact I got them all first try.
So first of all. How much points do you need to get 3 stars?
You need 10k points or more to get 3 stars
You will have enough points at around wave 24.
Theres a new wave after every in-game minute

1. Make your teammates follow you
2. Search desks until wave 2
You will need the items below:
-A good melee weapon for yourself
-2 decent melee weapons for your teammates
-A Duct tape and Metal to craft yourself an Armor
-Pliers and a Chisel
-A ranged weapon (Only use it on wave 3 and 6)
-Ammo (as many as you can find)
-Keys if you can find any (I will show the locations for each level later)
If your inventory is full then drop the items to the ground at a comfortable place
3. Find the shop and check if they sell a Minigun. If they do and you have enough money than buy it, if they don't or you don't have enough money, then kill more zombies and buy it ASAP.
4. On wave 3 the enemies will be stronger. Use your ranged weapon to kill them.
5. When you have a Minigun then combine it with the Pliers and Chisel to craft an Explosive Minigun. From now on this is you main weapon, but feel free to use your melee sometimes to save ammo.
6. After you have the Explosive Minigun and a good armor, start stacking up ammo. Check every desk and check the shops every 2-3 waves for ammo and pile them up on the ground at a comfortable place. Take some ammo from the ground when needed and you basically won.

Kill the Governor in Survival mode
The Governor can show up in every survival map on wave 14. I've heard it's not a 100% chance that he shows up however its still pretty common. You will probably meet him considering you're gonna beat 3 different maps

Survive until wave 17 on any Survival level
If you're going for 3 stars then you won't miss this. Don't worry about this one at all

Get 3 Stars on The Defense of Alexandria
Use the Strategy I wrote down!
This is the easiest Survival level and Survival in itself isn't that hard so don't worry!
Red Key location:
Remove the wall to get inside and then the Red Key will be inside the bag.
