• Final Words

There are two major playthroughs that must be attempted to achieve 100% of the base game.

The first playthrough undertaken should be a Spartan Playthrough.


The Spartan Playthrough is generally better suited to a more action based playthrough of Last Light. Spartan Mode gives the player more ammo and has a more forgiving combat system making the game less about survival and more about gunning down your foes.

Subsequently, this playthrough to make getting some achievements easier should be played as a c'est la vie playthrough (Morally Bad) due to it being more combat focused and Morally Bad actions being tied to agression in Last Light.


These will be explained in the Location Walkthrough.

• Veteran: At the beginning of the game, when choosing your gear, change your primary weapon between a Shotgun, Pistol and Rifle.
  
  
• Not a Rabbit: Do not take any damage during the fight with Watchmen on Chapter: Ashes. 4 waves consisting of 3 watchmen.
  
  
• Derailed: Kill everything that moves in the chapter Revolution. (Tip: use unsilenced weapons)
  
  
• Cheers: Drink every round in Venice
  
  
• Scram: Kill every watchman before they can damage you while driving the Railcar. (Tip: they attack in groups of 3 at points along the track, stop the car after hearing them and attack stationary)
  
  
• Revenge: Kill Pavel
  
  
• C'est La Vie: Get the Morally Bad ending.

The other achievements will unlock quite easily if you stick to a light stealth, heavy combat play style. A useful tip is that loading in this game does not reset achievement counts, so therefore if you want to brute force the achievements, you can repeatedly reload a previous checkpoint and the count achievement will unlock in time.

The Survivor Playthrough is a lot less forgiving than a Spartan Playthrough, Ammo is harder to get, and the game moves from an action heavy game to a survival and stealth game. Coupled with Ranger mode, this becomes a completely new and challenging way to play Last Light.

Subsequently a Survivor Playthrough should be played with the Redemption Playthrough (Morally Good) in mind as both stealth and non lethal tactics award moral points.

• Freedom: Near the end of the chapter: Pavel, after killing the Nazi guards in the office overlooking the prison camp, there will be a lever on a console next to the window overlooking the camp. Turn the level and the prisoners will be released.
  
  
• Reunion: In Venice, next to the weapon merchants, there is a shooting range and across from that there are some houses with a kid and his mother talking. Listening to their talk will let you know that someone took the kid's toy. By completing all stages of the shooting range will get you said toy as a bonus, simply walk back to the kid with the toy and give it to him.
  
  
• Mouse: in the chapter: Echoes, hide with Pavel when he hides and don't engage the roaming Watchmen. (The Watchman that ambushes you when you find a shotgun doesn't count towards Mouse)
  
  
• Savior: Take off your mask when Lesnitsky confronts you at the end of Chapter: Contagion.
  
  
• Rain Man: There is no easy tip for this one, on the chapter: Bridge, avoid all the mutants by using stealth and gauge what they are doing before you act.

All other achievements can be easily achieved by sticking to a good stealth approch, also remember you will be wanting to avoid killing unless you have to (Mutants and Hostiles). With this in mind, you will have a lower ammo consumption which means that you can benefit from taking high consumption weapons/rare ammo weapons (Clip Enhancements, Abzats, Saiga-12, Valve and Preved) as soon as you can get them to take down the tougher enemies in this mode.

After talking to Miller and Khan about the Dark One, it is on a chair just to the right of the elevator.

• Play the guitar in Artyom's room.
  
• Listening to the two Rangers near Artyom's room discussing D6.
  
• Wait in the first hallway with the two rangers for a minute after they stop talking, also earns a point.
  
• Listening to the man insulting the new recruits.
  
• Listen to the two checkers players talking about Romanov's squad getting wiped out in the marshes.
  
• Play the balalaika (triangle guitar) in the room with men discussing Romanov.
  
• Stay at the firing range for a minute.
  
• Listen to the three Rangers in the cafeteria talking about the Red Line the Nazi scouts seen near Exhibition.
  
• At the end of Miller's briefing, if the player listens to Miller's concerns about Lesnitsky, a point will be earned.

When choosing your guns at the armory, pick a Rifle then switch to a Pistol then a Shotgun as your primary weapon. Remember to leave the weapon menu each time you choose.

In the sewers, if you walk beyond where the ladder to the surface that Anna waits on is, continuing down the tunnel through the cobwebs leads to an ammunition cache and a diary entry.

• Walk to the back of the train you start the level on.
  
• Staying near Anna until she begins climbing to her sniping position.
  
• At the first encounter with Watchmen.

Tip: Should you get hit during the first encounter with the watchmen, you can restart from last checkpoint. This is easier on higher difficulties due to guns doing much more damage to mutants and it is 4 waves of 3 Watchmen you must fight through.

After climbing out of the pipe and equiping the throwing knives, go opposite from the body that was impaled with them, the note is on the boxes.

• Free the prisoners.

*Near the end of the chapter, after killing the Nazi guards in the office overlooking the prison camp before exiting the blast door which finishes the lever, there will be a lever on a console next to the window overlooking the camp. Turn the level and the prisoners will be released.

At the very start of the chapter, it is on a table at the base of the escalators.

• Listen to all of the Reich Fuhrer's speech. []

• Kill the surrendering Nazi at the end of the chase. []

In the first area of the chapter, there is a little guard room in the center of the room up some stairs, on the computer panels in this room is the note.

In the upstairs office across from where the note was found will be where the safe is.



When you open a door where there is a guy who surrenders, the note is on the table across from him.

• Complete the level without killing any humans. []

• kill the man reading on his bed after he surrenders. []

Near the end of the chapter you will come to a large room with a number of troopers and some waterway tunnels with water turbines at the bottom; the note is on the other side of the room from where you enter, up the stairs and in a little room to the left on a table.



Across from the note is the key to a safe.



Exit the previous room and move across the water ways.



Then go up the stairs seen in the preious screenshot. In this room is the safe.

• After Artyom exits the air vent, watch the scene where a Nazi bullies his fellow soldier about mutations. Wait until the brutalized soldier leaves the room to receive the moral point.
  
• Do not kill said brutalized soldier who is hiding in the meat locker between the first area and the second.
  
• After the bullying scene, listen to the conversation between two Nazis about a stashed custom weapon. Follow the Nazi heading back to the locker room and when he opens his locker, knock out/kill him and pick up the weapon.
  
• Picking up the gun earns another point.
  
• Go up to the area above where there is an electric circuit that turns off lights. Listen to the conversation between two Nazis who are near this circuit.
  
• In the next area there's a room filled with bathtubs. In the area beyond this, there's an air vent on the far side to the right, next to a guy in a chair. Enter it to get a point and there will be a supply crate on the left.

At the start of the chapter, there will be a dead guy on the tracks when you begin after talking with Pavel. In his hand is a Key.



In the area where Pavel needs you to help lift a grate, the safe will be to the left of the grate, next to some glowing fungus.



After climbing on top of the abandoned train on the infested bridge, Pavel will save you, the note is right in front of you, to the right.



When Pavel asks you to follow the electrical wires to charge up the circuit box for a locked door. Follow the path until you come to a door, then take the path to the right and follow the path a short way, there will then be a little room to your left where the note is on a dead body.


[]

• Just before the elevator at the beginning of the Spider tunnels, look to the left-hand side for a small nook hidden by cobwebs. Burn them away to find a small stash of ammo and a medkit next to two skeletons. Entering this nook earns a point.
  
• Entering the elevator with Pavel earns a point.
  
• Fending off the Spiders with Artyom's flashlight in the elevator earns a point.

*If you are playing a Spartan Playthrough, you must kill everyone and all reinforcements in this level, use unsilenced weapons to alert all enemies, then hunker down and wipe them out. This will both give you negative moral points and an achievement.

  Achievements
  
  

In the section with the watchmen overhead jumping and before pushing the railcar with Regina, there will be a concrete passageway to the right of the rail tracks. In this room (with watchmen who ambush you) you will find a key with a dead body



And a safe in an office in the same area. Also there is a Shambler shotgun here which is essential for the next section (Watchman Regina Fight). If you don't have a multi load shotgun, take the Shambler.



Further ahead after taking down a few waves of Watchmen and past the ghost room cutoff, there will be another cutoff area with glowing fungus to the left of the Regina.



At the very end of this flooded area will be a diary next to a water/rebar grate. (Warning, you will be ambushed by Watchmen when you get to the grate)

• After boarding Regina and exiting Andrew's home, look for the first doorway on the left going upstairs. Enter the area.
  
• After the previous area, again to the lefthand side of the tunnel, there is a Spider nest behind a shut door. Entering it and finding the glowing red room at the end with a breaker box earns a point.
  
• After the previous area, continue onward for a time before finding another doorway on the left which leads to a partly submerged area. At the end to the right is a room with some ammo, filters and a skeleton. Entering this room earns a point.
  
• After opening the airlock doors and entering a gas mask area, fire a shot at the line changer so it points straight rather than left. Then use Regina to smash the wooden barricade.
  
• Opening the crate on the floor near a skeleton on the left in the area behind the wooden barricade also earns a point.
  
• Before driving along the snowy tunnel, walk into the left hand tunnel to the abandoned train where a Watchman ambushes you. Keep going all the way to a dead end where a skeleton can be found. Arriving at the end earns a point.
  
• Enter the passage aforementioned that contains the safe and key to earn a point.
  
• While pushing the metro cars forward with Regina, look for a passage on the left side of the tunnel. This area is a makeshift hospital which is filled with ghosts who whisper to Artyom. Reaching the end of this area (with a Valve Rifle at the end) earns a point.
  
• Reach the area aforemention that contains the diary note and get to the diary for the point.

Tip: Get the Shambler shotgun and when each wave of Watchmen runs towards Regina, stop the car and prepare for attack. When they jump on Regina they have a brief second of agression before they attack, fire point blank into their head as a single shot should take them down, then reload the gun if clip is low. After the wave of 3 Watchmen are dead, continue forward until they attack again.

After rescuing the first captive and crossing the radiation zone, there will be a toilet area to the right of the tracks.



In one of the stalls is a diary.



In the bandits sleeper train is a key for a safe



This safe is located in the opposite section of their camp, in the area with the rail door lever.

• Drink 3 rounds of The Bullet, when you pass out you lose a moral point.
  
• Pay for a lap dance.*
  
• Watch the striptease.*

*On my Spartan playthrough, these actions did not reduce my moral points and hence it is either bugged or the moral consequence is removed from Redux. It might work for you though.

When looking for fuel, the garage in the centre of the open area will have a diary on one of the kiosk tables.

• Find the canister of fuel.

At the begining, there will be a building in front of the boat



Clime up this building and you will hear anna on the radio.



Behind a wire trap and a closed door will be a diary.

• On the second floor of the abandoned mall, look out the big window looking towards the way you came.*

Tip: If you are attempting a Spartan Walkthrough, my suggestion would be for you to take a good shotgun (extended barrel Shambler) and silenced assault rifle with you. The Shotgun is needed for this level due to the Norsalis' and the silenced assault rifle is a must for the next level. Also remember to use throwing knifes against feeding and sleeping Norsalis' as ammo is short in this level and being swarmed can make things very difficult.



[]

• Just before entering the catacombs, there's a body near a table with a radio reaching for a tape recorder/player. Play the tape of the Ranger's last words regarding the Reds taking Anna into the catacombs for a point.

There will be a research center with a diary on one of the tables next to the labs.





The first one is behind the airlock door into the rundown section of the metro (the one that closes behind you.)



The second one is after passing the bloody sink into the tight living area, when you come to a right hand turn, the ammo is in a window on the right hand side before you turn left.



After talking to the night goggle ranger, the ammo is in a carriage window on the right before the sharp turn of your route.



The final ammo is in the window of the right hand carriage when you come to the glowing fungus.



The next diary is located when you meet Khan.

Instead of following him, head into the room in front of you and go left, the note is on the floor.



After the river of fate and before the rail cart/end of the chapter you will come to a bunker area with sound traps.



After getting past the sound traps, there will be a body with a key to the left of the bunker.

• Enter the small room to the left at the start.
  
• Enter the area where the safe key can be found.
  
• Finish the level without killing any mutants.

Tip: A major gameplay choice will come up at the beginning of this chapter. Here you will encounter the last market to buy weapons and your choices here will have different effects on gameplay difficulty in future levels.

The first major choice is "Should I buy a fully modified Preved?" The benefit of buying a fully modified Preved now is that you will not find another fully modified Preved until the end of the game and with it being one of the most powerful weapons coupled with a big magazine, it will help you wipe out enemies like the Armored Prawns, Demons and the Bear within a minute. The downside is of course very low ammo. Ammo for the Preved will be hard to come by and therefore you can only really use this gun against difficult mutants and the Bear. As for gun rarity, there is a Preved later on in the chapter "Dead City", This Preved however is a single bullet magazine version.

The second choice is "Should i use an Assault Rifle with MGRs?" Given that their use as currency is no longer needed, having a silenced and powerfully scoped rifle will be very useful when fighting the reds later on, however MGRs are very effective against human targets but are weaker against bullet spongy enemies like Prawns and Demons.

The third choice is "Should I use an Automatic Shotgun?" Buckshot ammo is very common in the next few chapters however so is Automatic Shotguns. With regards to the Saiga-12, leave the gun unsilenced due to damage fall off, at close range, this thing can take down anything relatively quickly and it becomes a must use against the hordes of Watchmen later on.




After encountering the first batch of reds, go to the very end of the depot room and enter the drainage shaft.



When you get to halfway down the drain, a key will be on the floor.



After this, return back to the back of the depot room and enter the right hand storage area.



The safe will be there on top of a box.



After talking to the Dark One, you will enter a room with Reds approching you,



Enter the first room on the left of that room and look for an opening on the far side of the left wall



Here will be a secret area with the Diary Entry.



After you enter the third large room with the reds, look for a truck on the right hand side of the room.



In the drivers seat of the truck will be a key.



The safe is unavoidable when you want to progress to the next section as it is next to a connecting door.


[]

• After exiting the tunnel at the very beginning, stick to the left hand side. There is a garage with two closed doors, one open that has a truck poking out.

*For a C'est La Vie or Redemption playthrough, this act will decide which path you will go down due to its massive moral point loss. If you want a C'est La Vie ending or need it, this will make it happen otherwise spare him.

First of all, near the beginning you will have to enter a building.







On the first floor you will find a toilet with a key



After this, return to the stairs and you will see a safe on the upper level.



When you go through a door and enter a room with a red table mat, the first diary will be on a table behind it.






The first vision is the playground which is reached during the story.



After going through a sewer system, while being haunted by a child. You will emerge to find a block of buildings with a doorway open and the sound of a piano in the background.



When you go through that building, you will have a vision of people playing the piano.



After leaving that room, you will come across a massive courtyard area, when crossing it you will have a vision of a speeding car which in reality is a rogue Watchman.



After the Watchman, there will be a housing building on the left hand side with an open door



Going up the stairs into one of the flats will bring you to a room which has a bathroom attached



Once in the room you will have a vision of a woman in a shower. Once over, there will be a Preved Sniper in the bath which is the last one you can get before you fight both the reds and the Bear later on.



Later on you will come to a house that you have to enter to continue the game.



Once you reach the top of the stairs, you will have a vision of the bombs falling.



When you get to the Demon nest, the second diary entry will be in front of the nest.



Down the stairs from the nest will be a flat that you can walk into, There you will have a vision of a child waiting.



The last vision is of busy commuters travelling towards a metro station, this one cannot be missed during the story.

The Safe and Key in this level are quite hard to get. Firstly, you need to find the safe. Go to the area with the dead prawn who has been impaled with Helsing bolts.



Cross the waterlogged stairs till you reach the arches.



Get to the arch which is open.



This arch will be a waterlogged shop with stringed cans.



Inside will be two safes. The first one is unlocked.



But the one at the back of the shop is the important one.



To find the key, you will have to return to the dead prawn and go towards the dead tree over the marked water crossing. When you get there, you will see a Demon sitting on some planks over the water to the arches.



When the Demon is scared off, cross the planks and the key will be towards the end of the Arches.



After running through the Watchmens den, you will come to a straight path up to some roots you will have to crawl through.



It is here where you will first see the Bear and a diary entry will also be here before the Bear arena.



After dealing with the Bear, you will come to some stairs which lead into Polis.



At the top of the stairs will be a diary.


[]

• Entering the area with the two safes earns a point.
  
• At the same split where you can reach the flooded store, you can also turn left, crossing a log and a flooded pipe. Right after the pipe will be a tripwire. Getting to the island will give you a point however a prawn will attack soon after.
  
• Do not engage any watchmen in their den and just sprint to the over grown roots where Artyom must crouch. A moral point will be gained when you enter this passage. To get this point, assume all Watchmen you encounter before the bear to be off limits. Some however you cannot dodge and hence apply some stealth in the den unless you have enough medkits to spend on the occasional attack.
  
• Kill the Watchmen attacking the Bear after the fight with Artyom.

[]

• Kill all Watchmen you encounter in the Watchmen den.
  
• Leave the clearing without harming the Watchmen on the Bear's back.

At the start of the chapter after going through cleaning.



You will find a diary entry on the couch next to the metal/wooden door that leads to Polis.

At the beginning of D6, Miller will have a speech.



Behind him is a diary entry on a radio table.



The last entry is at the point of the final stand of the rangers, where Miller, Ulman, Khan and Artyom fight the last wave of red soldiers.

• One final point is gained if Artyom gets Redemption and the Dark Ones return to save D6.

Thank you very much for having a look through my guide. This guide was created out of frustration of having to pull together multiple sources for trying to get some of the tricky achievements in this game along the lack of English instructions (Sagealashgie Moi Drouges) and going through youtube videos while playing is a real hassle.

Hopefully this guide has helped you and if you really liked it and want me to do more.

Please Feel free to donate any cards or gems you like.
