How to unlock the Perfect shot achievement in A Plague Tale: Requiem - Definitive Guide

Unlocked on Chapter 1: Under a New Sun. Hugo will take you down beside a river to complete a slingshot tutorial. You'll need to stand behind the log and shoot 20 Pinecones that Hugo throws into the water. To auto aim/lock onto a Pinecone hold cn_LT and then use cn_RT to prime/tighten the shot. Release cn_RT to let loose the stone to destroy the Pinecone. Ensure you shoot each one before they go down stream. The achievement then unlocks after a brief cutscene with Hugo.

People have reported issues with this achievement in other languages. As the character dialogue segment runs too quickly and you miss the last pinecones (as it times out). It's recommended that you switch the in-game language to "English" if you're having issues with this.

Damn I was on the last shot and missed it by a second the first time. I didn't even know this was an achievement so I was just taking my time listening to the conversation

Thank you for the video. This is a timed event. I missed it the first three times because I took too long shooting them and two were on the water when the cutscene began.

I tried this twice on a NG+ save and it wouldn't unlock. Only when I started a new save file did it unlock.

I can confirm with Chinese subtitles it will make it unable to shoot the last one, switch to English will solve it!

Hey guys just figured out what for me was the problem of it not popping.

Start a new save! Might as well do it on easy. I believe I counted 22 pinecones.
And the achievement will pop only after the cutscene ends with Tonin. If you know you missed one reload before it triggers but if you think you got 'em you have to commit to the cutscene and if you didn't get them all you're gonna have to start again and play bloody hide and seek.

Started a new save like FlamingoLegs said and it popped 1st try :)

The comment above is dead on. 22 total pine cones. 7 before the new kid shows up, 15 after. If you don't count 22 destroyed immediately go to main menu and continue the save (will put you back to immediately before the game).

I was also unable to get this to unlock on NG+. I wonder if having the sling upgraded stops the achievement popping by design.
Started a new save and unlocked it first time👍

This is just not unlocking for me. Followed all advices here and retried many many times, but nothing.
And it seems this also glitched all the other missing achievemts for me. Also can't unlock "Fighter" and "Maliglant" ...

Thx for your advice, Krüêgērbøx.
Already did this before 2 times on my series x, but with no success.

Just tried something else:
I deleteted the game an save from my series x. Then I started the game from the cloud on my xbox one, and after it resynced, the "Perfect Shot" unlocked immediately. Then I replayed some chapters where i maxed the missing skills. All missing achievemtents unlocked as they were supposed to do.

One of the most frustrating achievements I have had the misfortune to attempt. The cut scene that prevents getting the last target is all the more annoying because you cannot just reload the checkpoint l. I never miss a cone but nor can I get a shot off at the last cone before the cut scene. So you have to go through the whole run, stealth tutorials all over again... you must hit the final 4 cones very fast ... everything up to #16 is simple.... edit ...finally got it! I hate being a completions!!

I think xLGNxWKD MAN may be on to to something in the above comment! I failed to get the last pine cone when stood directly behind the log before the cutscene triggered. Tried again, standing to the right of the log, in the stream, and got this first time, with a good few seconds to spare before the cutscene triggered (not on NG+, but on chapter select of my completed first play through)?!

One pinecone was in the stream before I was able to use the sling. Also, missed the last two as they hit the way and cutscenes started before I could even start to target them.

The very first achievement is glitched? And forces you to restart the chapter to re-attempt? Why even bother playing if the whole game is like this.

Don't do this on NG+. Some reason the sling upgrade doesn't unlock the achievement. Use your first save file without the passive upgrades.

After several tries at the very beginning of my run, I eventually restarted my chapter 1-1 save after I finished the game (no NG+, original run, still) but I had to switch languages as I didn't have the time to aim for the last one before that stupid cutscene.
I went for French audio (English subs, doesn't matter) and it did work on my first try. FINALLY.

I did chapter selection. Chapter 1, checkpoint A long journey, and it unlocked after a few tries. I kept to the right of the branch like xLGNxWKD MAN said. And hold the LT the whole time like smoli83 suggested. When I missed a shot the cut scene was triggered. But the final try I got everyone on time.

Also confirm that the first random pine cone before Hugo starts throwing them doesn't count. Can also confirm that the French audio makes the sequence too short....

Tips - Don't walk past the branch on the ground where Hugo tells you to wait, just stand up close to it by the river. Just aim with LT (you can keep it held down) at the light coloured rock in the water just in front of Hugo where he throws the pinecones into the water, and slightly adjust your aim until the cursor goes green, and the auto aim starts tracking (turn auto-aim to full in the settings if you're having trouble) the pine cone, then hold RT until the target shrinks to just bigger than the cursor, then let go of RT. Quickly aim at the next pinecone and repeat, or aim back towards the light coloured rock where he throws them in, to wait for the next ones.

The little pause where the other boy comes and talks to you don't affect it, just keep LT held down, and aiming at the place where Hugo throws the pine cones into the water, and be ready for when he throws more in. Then eventually the other boy throws a big rock into the water, and there is a cut scene. You should have just had time to shoot the last two pine cones close together before this.

The achievement pops after the cut scene as you and Hugo start to walk down the riverbank together, and he says 'You're really good at aiming' or something.

Doubling down on the first cone floating by does not count toward the achievement (I don't even think you can shoot it).

It took me a few tries, but I do have a few helpful tips:
1) You don't have to prime the sling for very long to get off a successful shot. Just make sure you're locked on and let it fly after a quick rotation.

2) Every attempt, I missed my first shot on the second wave (after the other kid shows up) despite sitting there ready the whole time and being locked on. It might make a couple seconds difference if you release and wait for Hugo to throw the second wave before readying the sling again so you don't miss that first shot. I still missed on my successful attempt staying ready from the first wave, but it was close.

3) You should be able to save time retrying if you pause and return to the main menu immediately after the cut scene begins when you fail (when the kid tosses the big rock in; you likely have until the scene cuts back to your characters, but no reason to chance it...once you regain control the autosave is after the cut scene). Resuming this way restarts just before Hugo begins tossing pinecone instead of having to restart the entire chapter.

4) The achievement should pop right as Hugo comments on your accuracy after the cut scene and you regain control.

5) I was playing with English dialogue anyway, but can definitely see how shorter dialogue in another language could affect the timing. Definitely doable with English, though.

Good luck!

This is done near the start of Chapter 1 - Under a new sun. After the hiding tutorial.
Hugo will ask you to stand near the branch next to the river and he will begin throwing pine cones into the water, to complete the achievement you need to hit every pine cone with your sling. This should be fairly easy as it will lock on to each target when you aim by holding cn_LT and just hold cn_RT to prime your shot and release to fire.

I think there is an issue in other languages. The dialog seams to be shorter in German so you don’t have enough time to shoot the last 1-2 cones. My advice to change the language to English before the part of the level.

Look at my first comment. If it is not your default change the language to English for that scene (is possible without reloading). With other languages the dialogue is too short to hit the last 1-2 cones. The first cone (not thrown by Hugo) is not relevant for the trophy.

You need to shoot all pine cones. If you miss one, restart last chapter to try again. Achievement/trophy pops if successful.

I have a guide for this achievement on my YouTube channel.

The goal here is to destroy all of the pinecones Hugo throws into the water. This is during the sling tutorial in chapter 1, part 1. You'll want to constantly be aiming your sling and holding the fire button to keep the next rock spinning so you can release it quickly when the pinecones go into the water. After a 2nd kid joins the game Hugo will start throwing pinecones a bit faster. Keep destroying them as fast as you can.

Once Amicia tells the new kid to deliver the coup de grâce he'll throw a large rock in the water. Any pinecones still in the stream at this point are missed. When Amicia says this line if you know you can't destroy the last of them quickly pause the game and choose to reload the section. This will restart you right by the log ready to try again. If you don't do this before the cut scene begins you will have to quit out to the main menu and begin chapter 1 all over again. Attempting to restart section after the cutscene will just put you right back after the sling training.

The trophy is not glitchy, there is a problem with the selected language, so if you play with Russian subtitles, then the dialogues go faster than with English subtitles and it turns out that the cut scene works earlier, and you do not have time to knock down the last bump. I checked, changed the entire language in the game to English and yes, the trophy fell the first time. Unfortunately, you cannot get this trophy in NG+, so start a regular new game or replay the first chapter.

It is not necessary to start the chapter, you can close the game and start it again, the game will load before the Cones.

Chapter 1.
When you approach the river, the Boy will begin to throw cones into the water. You should use a sling to knock them all down before the guy throws a stone into the water.
If you don't have time, then download the chapter from the very beginning.

It would be worth adding that the trophy only drops after the cut scene, I restarted the game 5 times until I decided to skip it

According to my observations: the language does not affect the cut-scene, it starts as soon as the last two cones float past the guy with the stone. That is, to get a trophy you need to shoot very quickly and move the sight quickly.
How to do it. In the settings you should have fast auto-aim, you can disable the clamping Well, here it is as convenient for anyone.
The most comfortable position for shooting is as far to the right as possible in the stream.

This way the pine cones will float almost in one line, which means that in most cases the sight will aim itself, and you won’t have to aim it
You cannot make any delays between shots... as soon as the sight is focused, we immediately release it the stone flew away, immediately press again, and while the sling is spinning we aim at the next target..
if you missed, or didn’t have time to finish off the last bumps, you don’t need to turn off the game, just go to the main menu right during the cutscene and continue this segment again until the finish..

The tenth time it will definitely work, even with a reserve and will make you a truly ideal shooter.
