Darksiders- Grabbing the BFA Achievement.
Darksiders- Normal/Unhidden Achievements
You should unlock most of the achievements if you just play through the game towards the end so it should not be a problem what so ever but read this in case to be sure and be notified what you will need to do to unlock the achievements.
I am doing this in the order of how the Achievements present to me when I open it up on Steam. (Date of Unlock does not matter).
Advanced WARNING: I have known a few issues of having an achievement bugged and not unlocking so to prevent this issue ( if it occurs for you), Open Darksiders from the Steam Directory- Program Files -> Steam -> Steamapps -> Common -> Darksiders and Run DarksidersPC as an Administrator. This issue is known to be on PC so this is how I solved it.
Achievement- Prison Break
1st Up, This is unlocked by releasing Samael from his prison. Nothing to hard, follow the game and it will work. You will notice 3 gargoyles sitting on a statue each with only 1 of them producing blood from it's mouth and the other 2 empty. Head towards the side of the 2 gargoyles and push them in foward which when done, Samael will be freed by your hands and (let's pretend) Samael awarded you The 'Prison Break' achievement for getting his tail lose and out of the junkyard.
Achievement- Death Dealer
2nd Up, This is a simple achievement and should be your 1st achievement you will get if you ONLY follow the gameplay and never looked to complete a secret achievement in the Prologue battle (Discussed Further Down) because after you finish jumping out of Seraphim Hotel, You will eventually met Vulgrim and obtain it.
Achievement- Like A Bat Outta Hell
3rd Up, Granted to you from Samael for defeating Tiamat and retrieving her beating lifestone also known as 'Heart of the Chosen'. Not a big problem to deal with.
Achievement- One Tough Cookie

Darksiders- Normal/Unhidden Achievements Part 2.
I needed to make a Part 2 because the 1st scetion reached it's limits of words to be place in.
Achievement- High Flier
32nd Up, To do this, you have to kill 5 Duskbats without touching the ground. Easiest way to do this is in the Shadow Arena where you have to kill 30 enemies using Instant Kill and Duskbats will appear at the start and you will need to take your time to plan this carefully. Tips from me is to fly using Shadowflight after you have finished using Instant Kill on one Bat and fly to another, take the time to turn the camera around and find your next target while the animation is playing.
Achievement- Improvised Kills
33rd Up, This is a hard one and will take a while to get but you need to kill 150 enemies with items from the environment (Cars, Poles, Lamps, Signs etc.)
My tip is to use environmental items from the start at Crossroads and also inside the Seraphim hotel, I have no idea if the Prolouge Kills count as well but I did to be extra sure.
Achievement- Open Air Parking
34th Up and the last, This one is missed by a lot of people when they start the game because they get caught up with the action too easily and they lose focus of it. What you are looking for to get this achievement is a helicopter flying in the air during the prolouge part. This is once in a game time chance to get the copter, there are no other chances provided to get it unless you start a new game slot. After breaking through the pipe when you first turn into Chaos Form, You should be able to pass through the pipe and you will still be in War's Decimation Form so you will need to manually change back to his Regular/Nephillim form by pressing LB+RB (My way and the xbox way, I use the xbox controller because I have played on it with Xbox and it feels more comfortable) and grab a car or any vehicle and aim after you have turned owards the back to look for a helicopter, aim correctly and preferrably aim a bit foward in order to hit the copter just a bit more accurately.
