How to unlock the Venting frustration achievement in Alice: Madness Returns - Definitive Guide

For this achievement your going to be in the third section of the first chapter. Your going to ride a cable car to this steam punk style castle, and your going to smash threw a wall. After the clip your going to be in with a steam vent right in front of you. Just jump into the steam vent and float there for 7 minutes and it will pop. Hope this helps.

You can get this achievement from any steam vent in the game, not just the one in the third section of the first chapter. You'll come across plenty of steam vents so there are opportunities enough.

Is it cumulative or has it to be on one steam vent? This means, when i use every steam vent in the game will it pop eventually at the end/middle of the game by itself, so the game counts the seconds iam on a steam vent?

yes it is cumulative, you just have to spend 7 mins total in steam vents across a play through.

Works on chapter 4 as well. I believe you can get the acheivement on any steam vent but cannot confirm.

this was NOT cumulative for me.i finished the game on normal then on nightmare still no achievment.i then went to a random steam vent from chapter select and floated there for 7 min. and the achievment popped.not sure why this is it dont make any sense unless it only accumulates the time spent on the vents in one playthrough.to be safe if ur having problems just float above any steamvent and go take a break for seven min. and it will be yours.

it was cumulative for me. this is odd. i let her sit on a vent for about 5 minutes before i got bored and continued playing. the achievement popped for me later while i was using a vent to get to another platform, was on it roughly 3 seconds.

I am very sure its cumulative. I believe it has to be in the same playthrough.

if it is cumulative i guess i didnt spend seven min in the same playthrough on normal and nightmare.that seems strange but its the only thing i can think of cause to many gamers are saying it is cumulative.either way shouldnt be any trouble but it would be better to get the achievment just playing through the game normaly but i did what i had to.thanks.

Be careful, it's NOT CUMULATIVE. I finished the game and i spent a lot of time on steam vent. For this achievement, i'm stayed 7 minutes on one steam vent to unlock it. Or maybe, it's cumulative but only one the same chapter ?

Just time it with a watch, for Christ sakes! "Enough time", "long enough", "an eternity". 7 minutes is the same all over the world.

How is this solution not higher than the one that requires you play through a few minutes of a level before finding a vent?

The fastest steam vent to load up is in "cardbridge" I believe it is in chapter 5 dollhouse, it is right in front of you. also I can confirm that the time is accumulated. after I unlocked every other achievement this one was my last one, so I loaded it up jumped on the vent and 5 minutes later the achievement unlocked.

This comes out to pick a vent and float on it. Put the controller down and do something else for a couple minutes. I would use either the vents in Hatter's domain or the vents on the Cardbridge in case of flying enemies.

You can unlock this achievement on the first steam vent you find in chapter 1. All you need to do is jump onto the vent and float in the air for 7 minutes.

You first gain access to the steam vents after ramming into a large building, you will see the steam vent in front of you after getting up and getting the notice on how to use the steam vents. After you close the blackboard note just hop on the steam vent and stay there for 7 minutes until the trophy pops up. There will be more vents as you progress, but if you want to get it done early in the game, this is the perfect time to do so. This trophy accumulates time over vents that are used throughout the game. In other words, you don’t have to use the same vent to get this trophy.

Nothing could be simpler. Already in the first chapter you will encounter a similar mechanism - a pipe with steam flowing from it. This device allows Alice to fly higher, floating on her dress. Hang on this couple for 7 minutes and the achievement is yours
