Introduction

save file[drive.google.com]

Once again: I intended to put this file for people that already played Clash in the Clouds DLC, and after many trials are close to throw their computers out of the window and maybe punch through some walls. Literally. Although I won't be mad if someone who haven't even tried to achieve it on his own download it just to get the hardest achievement in the entire game.

There's only one wave left in this save, and it's extremely easy to complete. Unfortunately it's not a first wave of any stage but still 4th is pretty close to the start.

How to replace your save

It's a little harder than just copy/paste, but still pretty easy:
1. I assume you do have DLC, and already played it to create your save.
2. Download the save file from here[drive.google.com].
3. Turn off Steam Cloud synchronization for BioShock Infinite. Otherwise it will overwrite copied save.
4. Open BioShock Infinite save folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<your_steam_id>\8870) and find CitC save which name would be dlca_save-XYZ.sav, where XYZ is time and date. Make a copy of it just in case.
5. Copy its entire name and overwrite downloaded save's name with it. Now you can copy renamed save and paste it onto the game save folder, and overwrite your save.
6. Turn on the game and CitC DLC, and you should see that:


That means everything went great.

How to get the achievement

As you'll see, there's only one ribbon left to collect, and it's wave 4 of the Duke and Dimwit Theater. So just go ahead and start it. You have to finish first three waves any way you want (you don't have to get blue ribbon in them), which will be extremely easy with all upgrades bought.
Before the 4th wave you can buy continue if you want, and then go ahead and start it. There's no need of any preparation. After the wave starts, choose Murder of Crows Vigor and make a trap of it in front of you. You can actually spam traps all around the level and then just lure one enemy to trigger it. And that's it, it's so simple.

If you don't get the achievement, delete (after making a backup) profile.bin file from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<steam_id>\8870\remote", and try to do everything again.

By the way, if you still want to try to get the achievement without my save, there are many tutorials, but I can add few helpful hints:
  • Don't Try to get every ribbon as soon as possible. Play later waves and stages and after you get all important upgrades you can replay to get missing ribbons.
  • Use Return to Sender Vigor shield as often as you can.
  • Other Vigor that you want to use a lot is Undertow (both pulling enemies to you, and then push it of the edge should be used as often as possible).
  • The next one is underestimated Murder of Crows. Its trap's range is enormous, and it can stop a Handyman so you can damage or kill him.
  • You can buy only 3 continues for every stage you started, so only buy it before waves you miss ribbon on.
  • Focus on late waves, because you don't want to repeat all earlier again just to have another try.

I hope I helped anyone just a little bit. Good luck with trying to get Blue Ribbon Champ on your own.
