Meet the New Boss
Read the first terminal in Rise, Robot, Rise

This terminal is difficult to miss since you have to pass in front of it in order to be able to open the door to progress.

Film Buff
Pick up a shotgun and SMG in Poor Yorick

Both the shotgun and the SMG are behind secret walls.

The shotgun is in the southeast corner of the map. From spawn, use the stairs in the river to get onto the southern ledge, then head southeast to find this door.




The SMG is found on the upper ledge you can reach after pressing the first button.



After entering the secret room, interact with the green box in the corner to reveal the SMG.



In the map below, the shotgun location is circled in red, and the SMG location is circled in blue. (Map taken from lhowon.org)

Monsters In Dreams Assassin
Kill an invisible defender with the SPNKR

This requires you to kill one of the invisible s'pht'kr in the level Where are Monsters in Dreams. They can only be damaged with splash damage - projectiles will pass through them.

There's a SPNKR rocket launcher hidden in the Z-shaped hole near where you start. It spawns in after you go a bit past it - don't try to drop in before you hear the teleport sound, or you'll take a bunch of damage from the s'pht'kr and not get a rocket launcher.



Once you have a rocket launcher, find a s'pht'kr that's close to a floor or wall and blow it up.
Roadrunner
Cripple the Pfhor warning system

Story achievement. Break all three of the panels in the level Acme Station.

The Care and Feeding of Switches.
Open the Thing What Kicks doors, then let them shut again

Press the two switches in Thing What Kicks and, instead of pressing them again to prop open the doors they control, let them cycle fully.

Circumstances are Cyclical
Take the wrong exit out of Electric Sheep 2

Once you hit the switch to open the path to progress, you can hit the switch that opened the path in Electric Sheep 1. Take that path and loop back to Where are Monsters in Dreams to get the achievement.
My Personal Peon
Open all the airlocks on Nah Man He's Close

Story achievement. Unlocks when you hit this switch:

More Than One Path
Read all seven Eat the Path terminals in one playthrough

Six of the seven terminals are on the normal path, with the seventh being the secret exit terminal.

The first terminal is right in front of you at the start of the level.



Continuing along the normal path, the second terminal can be found after the first set of lava paths, opposite a rocket launcher.



The next three terminals are hidden in a secret path through the window showing an open landscape.
The path is elevated so you have to rocket jump or use the adjacent stairs to get the necessary height. There is one terminal straight ahead and one on either side of the player.




The sixth terminal is the normal exit terminal. Read it and hit escape to exit the terminal without teleporting.

Backtrack to near where you dropped down earlier and sink to the bottom of the lava. This will teleport you onto another ledge with a view of the ledge you need to get to.



Use the knockback from the Assault Rifle + Grenade Launcher to "fly" back to this ledge and continue backtracking to the start of the level. Then take the secret path to get to the final terminal.
A Show of Good Faith
Cut power to the containment unit

Story achievement. Break the wires on both sides of this structure:

Chapel Groan
Fully unblock the upper path before entering it, without using the secret switch

There are 30 switches you need to hit for this achievement. You can see the upper path from the lower area, so you can follow along it to make things a bit easier. If you miss a switch you can save, check the upper area to determine which one, and then load the save and hit that switch. You'll get the achievement when you hit the last switch.

I Know Who You Are
Complete Classic Marathon Infinity
I Totally Know Who You Are
Complete Classic Marathon Infinity on Total Carnage difficulty
Vidmaster
Complete the Vidmaster Challenge on Total Carnage difficulty

This achievement requires that you complete the Vidmaster Challenge Levels on Total Carnage difficulty. These levels are more difficult rehashes of the hardest level from each game in the series (Try Again from M1, If I Had a Rocket Launcher I'd Make Somebody Pay from M2, and You Think You're Big Time? You're Gonna Die Big Time! from MI).

They can be accessed from a secret exit terminal in Aye Mak Sicur. Starting from the central area where you get the first chip, take the southern exit (roughly opposite the save terminal)



Then, take the first left and you'll come to the drop. Without dropping down, interact with the wall opposite you to open a secret door.



The exit terminal is in this room.



The above path, with the terminal circled in red. (Map taken from lhowon.org)



Good Luck!

@suh123 I don't know if you are still reading through this guide, but after teleporting to the cliff, you can “shoot Grenades and Assault Rifle at the wall” to get big knockback and fly through the air.

@Gojisaurus (s452) Fixed, thanks!

@AJS6PES, I noticed the map image for the VidMaster terminal location has been removed and link to lhowon.org has been blocked by Steam. Can you reupload that map image for the VidMaster terminal location.

Guys! I Need Help. I don't understand how to do More Than One Path. How to return from terminal sixth to seventh? I'm already burned out trying do it

@Procyon only story achievements and the achievements for beating the game require you to do the whole campaign. You can start at converted church and get the chapel groan achievement without issue.

To get any achievement I must start the whole campaign? if I want to do the chapel groan achievement, can I just select "A Converted Church in Venice, Italy" level?

@Gojisaurus (s452) you don't have to play through the whole game, you can skip to Try Again by opening the level select menu (ctrl + shift + n) (but you'll start with just the pistol and three magazines, which makes it much more difficult.)

@Elkayen and @AJS6PES It seems that to unlock the Vidmaster achievement, you MUST play the entire game on Total Carnage difficulty before attempting the Vidmaster Challenge. I just beaten the Vidmaster Challenge and no achievement unlocked after loading a save on Aye Mak Sicur and changing the difficulty to Total Carnage before starting the challenge.

As for Vidmaster :
-Complete the objectives on Aye Mak Sicur first so you can use the 3x recharger. Save in the middle room so you don't have as far to run to get back to the credits terminal.

-Try Again: You don't have to kill the Juggernauts and the gray Hunters to finish. You also can't save on this level. If you haven't killed everything and read the final terminal, it will teleport you back to the start.

-IIHARL...: You lose your guns, but the start has a 3x recharger along with a few guns and a save term. You could suffer through the whole level, but it's much easier to grenade jump and skip nearly all of it. I used this video as a guide.

-YTYBT?...: Spam rockets at all the groups of Pfhor, then recharge and save before hitting the next switch. When you reach the end, you'll be teleported to the ammo secret. Kill the gray Hunter there, but stay clear of its nuke on death. Congrats on becoming a Vidmaster!

Great guide! A couple additions:

More Than One Path
Since grenades end up launching you backwards, you'll have to do the flight section without looking where you're going. Start running backwards off the ledge and fire a grenade to propel yourself faster, and keep shooting bullets and grenades while angling to your right. It'll probably take a few attempts to get it right.

A Show of Good Faith
The achievement doesn't say, but this is on the level By Committee, which is something of a maze. You'll know you're on the right track when you go down a big spiral staircase in the northwest corner of the map; when you reach the bottom, the circuits will be in the first room to your left.

Chapel Groan
Again, the achievement doesn't say, but this is on the infamous level A Converted Church in Venice, Italy. I marked off the towers on a copy of the map as I went, that helped a lot.
