Cheat: Get the Illuminatus Acheivement

Overview

HISTORY LESSON:So, apparently there’s a bug in the game where the “Illuminatus” acheivement doesn’t fire. After spending two days going through the main game and Justine for all of the tinderboxes, the achievement still didn’t fire. So, here’s how I got the achievement any. (Please note that if you’d like to get them manually, there are 151 tinderboxes in the main game, and 5 in Justine. The library in justine has all 5 tinderboxes.)To make the game give you the achievement, I made a hack that uses the code discussed in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xK-B3P7Ucs – Props to Peter for digging up the function’s name and usage to make it happen.Keep in mind that you don’t actually need to give your character all 500 tinderboxes, but there’s no harm in doing that.

Getting the Acheivement

HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN:
Open the file:
/home/[USERNAME]/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Amnesia The Dark Descent/maps/main/inventory.hps
If you’re not on a high-quality Linux system, substitute the path for the one on your OS

FIND:
////////////////////////////
// Run at the start of the game.
void OnGameStart()
{

ADD AFTER IT:
for (int i=0;i<500;i++) {
GiveItemFromFile(“”, “tinderbox.ent”);
}

FINISHING MOVE:
Save the file, then start a brand new game. Before the opening sequence even finishes, you’ll have your achievement. Once you’re done with it, put the file back the way you found it.
