How to unlock the Just out of Reach achievement in Alien: Isolation - Definitive Guide

In order to obtain this Achievement you will need to load up or be on Mission 4. You will need to locate comms and then escape without being attacked by an Android.

I should note I was doing this on Medium difficulty and so I can't say weather the Androids react differently on Hard.

My video with commentary shows a step by step guide to getting it.

Androids did not act as you described after following your guide perfectly.

The Androids may act differently on a different difficulty, I was on Medium.

I felt like certain spots had scripted androids on the ground who grabbed you. Many were in areas you had to walk through or right after you saved.

I am currently on mission 6. If I was to load up mission 4 complete it can I load my save on mission 6 again or should I wait and do this achievement once I beat the game?

To my knowledge you cant go back and then forward with Chapters if you go back to C4 you will have to play till C6 again.

There is a save point right before the cut scene at the ten minute mark..... its in the next room. You should probably mention that, since it is not shown in the video. There is also a blue print for the EMP v1 in the same room.

@Deranged Asylum the option to replay levels is a little bit hidden.
Play Game -> Allen Isolation -> Load Game -> Load Mission Save

Thanks for the guide - worked well but had to adapt a little as was going for the collectables at the same time. Aiming noisemakers was tricky too - ended up using a smokebomb to get past the final two androids.

For some reason this achievement is not unlocking for me. I've tried this like 5 times today and not once was I attacked by an Android. Is anyone else having trouble with this achievement not unlocking. I've already completed the game on Normal.

I picked up a flash bang blueprint next to an android I thought was dead on the ground. He grabbed my foot and I had to mash A. I guess that messed up my achievement because I didn't get caught after that and didn't get it.

I found the game wouldn't let me get past the elevator android the way you did so I had to let him come towards me and theres a vent on the left, enter that and he walks past, then I ran straight out and into the lift. Also on hard at the end of the level it took 3 goes, and the androids were different with their movements but didn't need a flashbang, just ran for it! Did use the tracker however and may have just got lucky

I had another android sitting just outside the door at 14:02 where told to just run. What I did was went through the hall way to the left and it came out right behind that android.

I don't know if the scripted scene where the android grabs your foot counts against this achievement, but I avoided that and the achievement popped.

^ it counts as voiding the achievement. I was undetected by all androids apart from the one on the floor that grabs your leg and didnt unlock the achievement. Be sure to avoid it dance

cant get this achievement to unlock. Done the requirements about 10 times now. Mission select does not work. Think I may need to start a brand new game and delete all my previous saves for this to work. I dont know what the problem is.

Does the android on the floor behind the room to the right at 8:20 if you take a right behind the counter void the achivement?

I only got caught once by one on the floor and it voided the achievement

Just thought I would post that as CarlosYabrudy said the Android that looks dead that grabs you if you get close WILL void the achievement.

For the one that camps the first elevator when you back to it, i just planted a flashbang near where he spawns and walked right by him once the bang activated. Simple achievement if you just use you noisemakers and flashbangs.

I did this on the hardest difficulty. Your strategy works perfectly!.
( can also run past all the androids ( 6:20 - 11:30 in the video ) as long as you know the way. If you don't. watch the video carefully to learn where to go, and where the androids are )

I followed the basics of this guide and managed to obtain the cheevo; therefore, I give it a thumbs up!! I don't know for certain the difficulty that Deranged played it on; I would guess not on Hard. There were a couple inconsistencies with droid placements, but overall the guide manages to point out what you need to watch out for...

Thanks!!

Mission 4 | played on easy
During the whole mission you are not allowed to attack an android or be attacked by one. If you get chased, you can still hide and try to make it, or you load up the mission again. You can also make manual saves at the phones and keep the progress.

GENERAL TIPS:
Once you take the elevator(3:08), it is best that you stay undetected until the cutscene because you have to walk the same way back and it makes the movement of the androids unpredictable if they chase you from the elevator room.

On your way back you will come across a couple of androids standing in your path. Avoid them by sneaking past them through nearby room. Once you're back where you started, you only have to activate the elevator. So it doesn't matter if you get chased at the end.

To get this achievement or trophy you must finish Chapter 4 without being caught.
I recomend you save game in every save point, so you can load the game if you get caught.

This can be gotten during mission 4 when you first enter Seegson Communications. What you need to do is to not come in contact with the Androids throughout this mission. It is ok if they see you they just can't catch you. This can be done via mission select on Easy if you choose to. If you are caught then just reload you last save and you should be fine.

You can sneak past most areas fairly easily, the tricky part is after you make contact with your crew. The Androids will be alerted to a disturbance and will head to your area. I suggest running out if that room and hiding behind a crate until the first 2 Androids pass, after this you are safe to run. Once you return to the open area you can head into the vent that is before the save point to escape the androids and once they lose interest you should be safe. Once you get back to the elevator the trophy should pop.

There are a couple of surprises you can find in the level: if you see an android lying on the floor, under no circumstances approach him or try to search him. He will grab Ripley's leg, thereby causing damage (and therefore we will not receive a trophy).

If you are noticed, don't worry. The main thing is not to let yourself be grabbed
