How to unlock the Calm In the Face of Death achievement in Alice: Madness Returns - Definitive Guide

i found this easy to do with the Bolterflies around. they're easy kills so you wont risk having to go back to the last check point.

also if you don't have your "kill 5 Bolterflies in a row" achievement, use your pepper gun to pick that one up too



as per SmokingBmbr465
if you need to load an easy instance is ACT 1 Chapter 2 (its the one that talks about shells). Its just a little ways into the chapter. when you first get the peppergun.

The official subchapter title is "Slug with a Shell" which is the third option under chapter 1. It might make it easier to get the achievement if you use the Royal Suit too, which limits health to 4 roses. Quicker to lower your health.

excellent solution--you might also want to add that the chapter to load if you need to load an easy instance is ACT 1 Chapter 2 (its the one that talks about shells). Its just a little ways into the chapter. when you first get the peppergun.

Worked like a charm. You should equip the Royal Suit from the main menu to make this go faster. Then, from main menu choose Chapter Select. Load up Hatter's Domain and pick "Slug with a Shell".

Play up to the point where you are given the Pepper Grinder. Right after you'll be attacked by Bolterflies. Allow them to attack you until you only have one full rose of health. Then hold down cn_LT and quickly use cn_RT to whip out the Pepper Grinder and take out the 2 Bolterflies. You can use cn_RS to select targets. Do not destroy their nest! Wait for another 2 to emerge, kill them, wait for at least 1 more, kill it, then the achievement should pop.

For those who didn't get it in their first play through. In chapter 1 when the in game tutorial says to go into hysteria mode. Go to your left to get some space and unload with your teapot cannon. Took me about 30 secs to get, enjoy.

Chapter 1: Always Elevenses (if you need to chapter select). You will have to play a bit, but once you go through the fiery door, you will get to this part.

I literally just loaded up Chapter 1: Always Elevenses, let the tea pot take down my health, and then proceeded to kill it and the next 4 enemies from a distance. So easy.

In Chapter 2 you must release the souls of three sailors. One such sailor will be surrounded by the black maggots that occasionally pop out of boxes (forget their names). These respawn infinitely, and with such little health, they are a breeze to take down. The sailor does considerably damage, so if you find yourself with just one rose, you can mow down the 10+ maggots that will be on the screen.

This is probably one of the easiest achievements in the game that you have to earn yourself. Simply wait til you have 5 or more weak enimies around you, let them attack you til you have one rose left, back up and unload on them with the pepper grinder! If you use any other weapon, you might pick up a rose from them when they die, and you don't want that because you won't get the achievement. You can do this at any point in the gamethat you'd like, you don't have to be in the same place as shown in the video. Also, make sure not to activate Hysteria! Have fun playing!

Pretty simple achievement, I got it on this on chapter one during the "use hysteria" tutorial. Except I did it a little differently than the other two solutions, and it was my first time through the game. All you have to do: Right after you step out of the door with flames, turn and look at the rising ruin. Don't do anything just yet, wait for the hysteria tutorial to pop up and drop your health to one rose, then unload on them with your pepper grinder (helps to have it upgraded, mine was a lvl 2)and keep your back to the wall. Once they start getting close, jump around them to your right (you may use the evade if you wish) and get a good enough distance from them. Then continue shooting them and backing up. If you get cornered or over run, simply jump around the side of them to the right again (doing a circular motion) making sure to avoid picking up health, which are the red orbs. Continue this process, it shouldn't take any time at all, mine probably took a minute or so. Also, if you use the hysteria, or pick up health it will effect getting the achievement, if you do just pause, click restart, and you'll start at the checkpoint just exiting the fire door.

it requires you to have one rose or less the entire span of combat when defeating 5 enemies. You have to kill 5 without activating Hysteria.

The best way to do this is against the fly robot things.
They don't drop health and will infinitely respawn until you destroy the hive.

This can also be unlocked in the Radula Rooms where you have to survive for a length of time- if you're on your last rose when the time runs out and there are five or more enemies still alive (Your best bet here is in Chapter 4), then when they're killed because the time ran out, they'll count as your five, and it's Achievement Unlocked.

To expand on GrimEXPERT121's solution this method below can be done on the first play through at the same point.

I found an easy place to get this achievement on your first play through is in chapter 1 after the game introduces you to hysteria. (After the tutorial it will automatically bring down your health to one rose which is loads easier than waiting to get hit over and over)

Immediately jump back cause there will be at 5-6 insidious ruin. Now just throw your clockwork bomb, runaway and detonate, run back to them and throw another bomb, runaway and detonate, rinse and repeat (should take about 4-5 bombs) till all are dead and the achievement pops. Just be careful not to run into and collect any roses.

This can be earned very early in the game, even before you learn about Hysteria. I would advise earning this trophy when you first get access to the pepper Grinder and see the Bolterfiles. Let them take your health down to one rose and then take out five of them for the trophy to pop up. Make sure you use the Pepper Grinder to kill the Bolterfiles from a distance, that way you don't have to worry about dying, use the button to dodge any enemies that come close. Once the trophy pops destroy the gear that they are coming out of.

If you are having trouble with this trophy, set the game to easy after completing the game and go for it then. At that time you should have your weapons upgraded, use the Teapot cannon to kill enemies from a distance and use the button to dodge incoming attacks and/or projectiles.

This achievement will be harder to unlock on the higher difficulties since enemies deal more damage. Each rose of health you have has four quarters. When you are on your last rose the screen will be flashing red. While in this state, kill 5 enemies without restoring health past your last rose to unlock this achievement. The best place to get 5 kills is in chapter 1 where you are first introduced to the bolterflies.

In a pre-hysterical (death) state. When Alice's life is running out, you can turn on the hysteria mode. Leave it off and kill 5 enemies. I did the dead pirate test in chapter 2 in room 3. Let the dead sailor hit you with bombs and when you reach a state of agony, just quickly cut 5 worms - they are killed with one blow with a knife.
