A comprehensive guide to achieving 100% completion in Amnesia: The Dark Descent, covering all 18 achievements across the base game and its expansion with detailed walkthroughs and tips.
Walkthrough
- 1Base Game (Normal Mode): Play through the game to unlock story-related achievements and collect all missable items. Focus on exploration and understanding enemy patterns.
- 2Base Game (Hard Mode): A second playthrough on Hard mode is recommended. Many achievements will already be unlocked, so focus on the remaining ones and managing limited resources (only 4 tinderboxes allowed).
- 3Expansion (Multiple Playthroughs): Complete the expansion, which has no difficulty-related achievements. Pay attention to interacting with prisoners, as this is tied to achievements.
Tips
- Lantern oil can be refilled using oil potions or rare oil barrels.
- Juking monsters is possible but risky due to limited space.
- Progressing to new levels can restore sanity, but enemies may become faster.
- To despawn monsters, try exiting and re-entering areas or staying on the opposite side of a trigger.
- Always try to have sufficient fuel and tinderboxes, even if not immediately needed.
- Conserve tinderboxes, especially on Hard mode, and optimize routes to save points.
- Re-entering areas can despawn monsters. Hiding also causes them to disappear.
- In the expansion, ensure you interact with all prisoners for achievements.
