Overview
text, screenshot and video assisted achievement guide to all achievements, with the focus on collectibles
introduction
Time to 100% completion: ~12 hours
Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 2 but 3 recommended
I recommend the playthroughs in this order:
-first play on lowest difficulty (Seer), and collect all collectibles
-then do new game + on any difficutly, at the start of the game change difficulty to God and play through it (you unlock God difficutly by completing the game once)
-lastly do a speedrun (under 2h) by playing New Game + on Seer difficulty
story/difficulty related achievements

Tips for God difficutly
The method I used to play through the game on God difficulty is probably the easiest one, but it is also not intended to play it that way. The Devs said they wanted to fix that, but until now they didn’t. Keep that in mind. Do the same or play through it regularly, I don’t mind.
So the method is: play your first run on either difficutly, but collect all 15 Eitrium cells (the little ones). Then after your playthrough is done, go for New Game + and choose any difficulty. When you are ingame, as soon as you can, pause the game, go to options and change the difficulty to God.
Now you play on God difficulty in New Game + while having all the nice upgrades for your Jarngreipr as soon as you get it in chapter 2. The God difficulty achievements will still work. The rest should be mostly easy.
I would also recommend to collect most or all big Eitrium power cells, they can be very useful, especially for the boss fight, although you don’t have to use them.
Also I would recommend to kill most of the enemies (if not all) while you can recharge your power cells at a machine.
What is God difficulty
-you usually die from a single hit, but then go in the ether as normally, though not everything insta kills you, for example the boss does not, or by getting fall damage
-even by saving you go to the ether, so I wouldn’t recommend to save at every save stone!
Just save here and there, or if your last save is already quite old. But keep in mind if you fail the ether part while saving, you die and then have to continue from the previous save. So it is always a risk.
(Except as soon as you are in chapter 5 you can’t go into the ether anymore, so saving has no downside anymore, so at this point save whenever you can!)
-more enemies
Warning concerning a bug
You should definitly save on God difficulty either before going into the giant worm or shortly after (both in Chapter 4). Because at two points inside this giant worm there will be some worms hanging from the ceiling. If you don’t crouch under them, they will kill you. Now the bug is that your game will then freeze after they killed you which means you won’t go into the ether, you will have to brute force close the game and restart from previous save.
Boss Fight
The only really hard part is the boss fight. On God difficulty you have to blast his face 5 times instead of 3 and he will summon way more worms. If you die here, don’t worry, you have an automatic checkpoint at the start of the boss fight, so you can instantly try again.
My general strategy for this one is as follows: stay mostly on the sides of the boss to be able to shoot the eyes on one side. Then go to the other side. After every time you blast his face he will summon a bunch of worms coming from his direction, so simply wait a bit for them and do a single blast in front of them to kill them all, then repeat shooting the boss.
If you can, recharge energy from the ghosts, but this boss is also the last opportunity to use your big Eitrium cells, do that!
collectible achievements
There are three types of collectibles in the game:
-the “collectables” (green floating stones) which I will call orbs, they are just for an achievement, there are 28 of those; you can check how many you have by pausing the game and looking on the right lower corner of your screen
–audio logs which give some story and an achievement as well, there are 28 of those;
you can check how many you have by pressing TAB and going to the audio log page
-the small Eitrium cells (the ones which you put in the Jarngreipr),
which are very important for the game and give an achievement as well, there are 15 of those;
you can check how many you have by pressing TAB and going to the homescreen
Then there are also the big Eitrium power cells which can be used once to restore one bar of energy, so they are not classic collectibles, but I will still show you the ones I found. However you do not need to find all of them. Just for the The one who saves… achievement you need to have 30 of them in your inventory at once. But as I found 71 of those and you never have to use them, that shouldn’t be hard. Just try to save those. They are still useful, so why not grab them all? 🙂
In addition to the stuff above I will also add here all the codes in the game and the locations for all RFID keys as well as the location of all save stones and all energy machines I found. (Even though you don’t have to use every save stone or every energy machine, but they help.)
I will not mention the enemy encounters though, except when enemies are directly in an area where a collectible is!
Also keep in mind if you missed some collectibles in your first run, don’t worry to much, you keep everyything you found in New Game + (Except the big Eitrium power cells and the RFID keys), so you just have to collect the remaining stuff. At least I think so, I got all collectible achievements in my first run, so I can’t confirm that. There is also a chapter select but I haven’t used that at all.
Also The one who saves… achievement is way easier in New Game +, but simple enough in a regular new game.
And in general just play on Seer difficulty when going for all collectibles to make it easier.
I will mainly show you the locations of the stuff above in the order you can find them. Although in the “Apsulov Research” area you could also look for them in a different order, even in another chapter for some of them. But keep in mind all the stuff you can reach from the “Apsulov Research” area you have to get before going back to the West Wing in chapter 4 as this marks the point of no return!
Find all collectables
Find all audio logs
Collect all upgrades for Jarngreipr

collectible walkthrough Chapter 1
In the tutorial: code 1436 (you don’t always have to use the code)
Right after the tutorial, you have to jump into the vent. You will get to the 1. audio log.
Shortly after you come to a door: code 6725
A bit later you will come to your 1. save stone. This is the only one which you have to use once!
After getting out of the first elevator, you have to climb over some boxes, on one of those is the 1. orb.
Shortly after you will drop out of the vent and find the 2. save stone.
Just a few steps forward, you will find the 2. audio log on the floor.
Right after the dog scene in the vent, you will have to turn right to leave the vent. Don’t that now. Instead continue in the vent to find the 2. orb.
In the room where you see the dog again behind a door, you find the 3. save stone.
As well as another door: code 6725
Shortly after you need a code for the elevator: code 7913
After coming out of another vent you come into this room with the 3. audio log on a table.
The 4. save stone in the next room.
Shortly after turn right, over the stairs into an optional room with the 3. orb in one of the lockers on the left. (There is also an enemy patrolling in the area, but not on Seer difficulty.)
You will have to come into this room with the 4. audio log right next to the other door on a table.
Shortly after you will have to take this hand to progess.
After opening another door with the hand, the 5. audio log will be on your left on a small table.
collectible walkthrough chapter 2 part 1
Right at the start, after stepping up from the chair, you see the 5. save stone.
In the same room you will have to scan the hand to get RFID key 1. (It is mandatory to get.)
A bit later you will have to collect the 1. small Eitrium cell in a box. (It is mandatory to get.)
Next to the vent you have to shoot is the 1. energy machine.
After another vent is the 2. energy machine.
After the ladder, turn right, above the stairs and hack the door. (Have to activate your vision and then blast at the right moment, if you fail, go back to the last energy machine.) Follow it till the end to find the 4. orb on the left on a crate.
Now go back and after the stairs look on the table. There is the 2. small Eitrium cell, as well as the first 5 big Eitrium cells. (After picking up the one in the machine, another one will drop out once.)
Next to the next vent you have to shoot will be the 6. big Eitrium cell on a table.
Next to another vent you have to shoot will be the 7. and 8. big Eitrium cell on a table.
And that same vent, turn left immediatly to find the 5. orb at the end.
Directly after taking your first tunnel into Niflheim, turn around to find the 6. save stone and the 6. audio log.
Much later, in the little outpost is the 7. save stone.
Go through the door on your left and find the 7. audio log, the 9. big Eitrium cell and the 3. small Eitrium cell, in a box, all on the shelf.
Turn around and find the 3. energy machine.
After dropping down from the roof, find the 10. and 11. big Eitrium cell and the 4. small Eitrium cell in some lockers on the right.
Now check the left lockers and find RFID key 2 after finding the skull at the same place. (It is mandatory to get.)
In the same room, hack the door straight ahead to find the 6. orb next to the toilet.
When you are outside again, go straight into the next room (instead of going left) to find the 12. big Eitrium cell.
Back in Midgard, find the 8. save stone after the vent, to the left of the door.
When you see the dog, turn right (where you comes from) and follow the way into a room with the 8. audio log in the last locker on the left.
Continie your way, and soon after you will find the 9. audio log directly infront of you.
Enter the Apsulov Reserach area and infront of you, to the left of the stone plate is the 10. audio log.
Now the Apsulov Research area. This one is big and kinda open with a lot of doors to open with multiple floors, you need more keys for most of them unfortunetly. In fact you will need the keys 1,2,3,4,5 and 7. Only in chapter 5 you will have all the these, so we will skip these rooms for now, even though you could go into some of them already.
Go into the elevator and choose “4F: Surface Access”. You will find the 11. audio log, as well as 4 big Eitrium cells, so we are 16.
Now go to “B1: Waste Disposal”. Go straight a bit and find the 9. save stone.
From there, turn right and then right again. Go through the next door and find the 12. audio log, as well as the 17. and 18. big Eitrium cell on a table.

In this room hack the first door on your right to find the 24. and 25. big Eitrium cell.
Go out of the room and hack the next door on your right to find the 26., 27. and 28. big Eitrium cell.
collectible walkthrough chapter 2 part 2
Go out again, hack the next room on your right, go up the stairs and find the 29. and 30. big Eitrium cell on the table.
Later on, you will have to travsere over a pipe. Before doing so, collect the 31. and 32. big Eitrium cell, one on each side on top of some boxes.
When you see another of those big ghosts, turn left into the container and find the 5. energy machine.
Later on you come into this room witht the 6. and 7. energy machine, as well as the 10. save stone.
There is also a locked door here where you will need the code. if you already know it, you use it right away and skip a section of the game, but you will also skip collectibles, so don’t it if you wanna go for collectibles. Otherwise check the speedrun section for the code or just skip a few screenshots here.
So, let’s contiune and climb down one of the ladders.
Here are the 8. and 9. energy machine. (Yeah, a bit overkill here.)
After opening all the doors in this area, go left (in A2), to find the 9. orb.
Continue on till you find the code, then go back to the door: code 4673

Go into the next room and the 35. big Eitrium cell in front of you.
Same room. Check the first locker on the right and find the 36. big Eitrium cell.
As well as the 11. orb in one of the lockers on the left.
Right before the next vent you have to shoot is the 10. energy machine.
Drop down from the vent, go down the stairs, take the other stairs up, turn right and scan the last body to get RFID key 3. (It is mandatory to get.) (There are enemies in this area patrolling.)
After inserting the skull key in the Apsulov tablet, go down the stairs next to it, go right and open the door to find the 12. save stone. (You can open this door earlier but then have to hack it. With RFID key 3, you don’t need to hack it anymore. And yes, I said we would open all the doors in the Apsulov Research later, but I wanted to get this one now for saving.)
Now go into the East Wing: code 3825.

The 21. save stone will shortly be in your way on the left.
Later on will be the 22. save stone in front of you.
Back in Midgard the 27. audio log will shortly be in your way on the left on a table.
Before going into the container turn right. Here in a very dark corner will be the 24. orb. (You can max out the gamme here to see better which I also did. We don’t have our night vision for now sadly.)
The 23. save stone will shortly be in your way. (There will also be a level 8 door here, as well as the RFID key 8, but we can’t pick it up now, we will go back to this later.)
In the huge elevator, BEFORE ACTIVATING IT: go to the right of it to find the 62. big Eitrium cell.

unclear stuff
-I don’t know if the time stops when you pause the game, better not do it or do it at your own risk
-I don’t know what happens when you reload a checkpoint, but it might not reset your time, but it maybe it does?
-maybe loading screens or unskippable cutscenes do not count towards your time ?
Tips:
-play on New Game + while having collected all 15 Eitrium cells (the little ones) in your initial run, so you don’t have to worry much about those in the speedrun; also choose EASY difficulty (Seer)
-ignore everything which isn’t relevant, so all collectibles, even the big Eitrium power cells you don’t need, HOWEVER you can collect some of them without loosing time because some are directly in your way and you can collect them even while running; you can use some big power cells in the boss fight to save you some time and also at some key moments you can use some while you have to wait anyway, so you don’t have to recharge your cells at a station or kill ghosts so often
(I only used them during the boss fight, but you can probably win some time by using them more often. In my run I ended up with 25 of them, using 17 of them in the boss fight, so yeah, you can use a few before that. Btw. I think I dealed quite bad with the boss.)
-only kill enemies when really necessairy, usually you can just outrun them
-always run if possible
-only recharge your energy when really necessairy
-don’t let your night vision run out, so only use it when necessairy
-always know your way! (the speedrun should be the last thing you do in this game, you should have played through the game at least twice before doing the speedrun to make it easier for you)
-saving is not needed (waste of time), only save when you are locked into a room and have to watch a cutscene or so, but please don’t die, it shouldn’t be hard;
BUT you have to save at the first save stone once to be able to progress!!!
-when pressing TAB the game continues, so the time will NOT stop, luckily you never need to press TAB
-in the tutorial you will have to do two out of three possible tasks (using a code, using a key which is in a box or find a button which is under a little cube), the ones you have to do is always random, the order as well
-write down all the codes so you don’t have to look for them ingame; I’ll tell you all here, but better write them down on a paper next to you, you don’t want to open the steam overlay during the game, also know where you get the RFID keys or write it down (I will tell you that as well)

-2: after dropping down from the roof, it’s in the second locker on the left, in the same one where the skull key is; you first have to get the skull key, then you have to scan the RFID key
-3: in the morgue, after dropping down from the vent, go down the stairs, go the other stairs up, turn right and scan the last body
-4: facing the level 4 door you have to go through: go left into an area with 4 rooms, go into the second one on the left and blast the enemy, then scan his key
Speedrun Video Walkthrough
note: on my first speedrun I got about 1:45, on my second I got 1:41, on my third one I got 1:37. I still made some small mistakes, maybe it’s possible to save 1 or 2 more minutes, but not much more I think. So the room for mistakes is about 23-25 minutes. Should be enough.
Although keep in mind I played quite agressive/risky in my third run, by just running by enemies, getting hit often and also getting some fall damage here and there. If you don’t want that, it’s all right to play a bit more safe. On my second run I played quite safe.
