5Defy Even Death

A Reason For New Game+

Goal: Reach the “Rebirth” ending

“Rebirth” is the so-called true ending, but only of NG+. As such, you’ll need to complete the game and jump back in before ever witnessing this ending. That’s not the only tricky thing, though. You also must find four specific items. Otherwise, it won’t unlock.

Once you gather all four of these items,every other ending is automatically overridden. So, don’t retrieve all the items if you’re still going for any of the other endings in the game.

The Doggy Ending

Goal: Reach the “Dog” ending

Yes, it’s a joke ending, but it’s a sweet one and as itinvolves a dog, you simply must go for it. Like “Rebirth,” it’s only available in NG+. Also like “Rebirth,” you must find specific items before you can unlock the ending.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is always hard, but for the truly daring some of its hardest achievements add additional challenge.

For obvious reasons, don’t attempt this on your first run of the game. Once you go through the game once or twice, you should start to memorize combinations, how to solve puzzles, etc. This will help you tremendously with snagging this achievement. Beyond that, you can lower the difficulty so enemies are easy to mow through or even sneak by. And don’t forget to skip the cutscenes as theywilleat up time.

2Vicious Circle

Focus on Maria

Goal: Reach the “Maria” ending

Seems simple enough, doesn’t it? In fact, you can even get it on your first playthrough. But at the same time, the “Maria” ending has numerous little flags that can ruin you and push you toward one of theother endings, especially the common “Leave” ending.

There’s a chance you may need a dedicated playthrough for this one. You’ll want to talk to Maria at every opportunity you get. Be sure she doesn’t get hurt. Honestly, don’t even bump into her yourself. You don’t want to do anything that will pour those invisible points into one of the other endings. Below are a few more tips you may keep in mind that should help you nail this achievement:

No Ranged Weapons Allowed

Goal: Finish the game without killing enemies using ranged weapons

It’s always a thrill to challenge your way of playing, and thankfully, Silent Hill 2 remake has an achievement up for grabs for doing it. This one removes useful ranged weapons like Rifles and leaves you with just the melee gear. It can be tough on bosses, but it’s feasible.

For starters, consider tackling this on NG+. Yes, it is possible on a standard playthrough as we have a few great melee weapons. You can even scale down the difficulty, but why do that when you can just snag the Chainsaw in NG+? It’s an exclusive weapon for that mode and it beautifully decimates enemies.
