How to unlock the Mind Your Step achievement in Alien: Isolation - Definitive Guide

This is achievement is during Mission 14: The Descent about 20 minutes into the mission you will reach the Reactor Maintenance, you must then complete the objectives and then leave the area without dying.

If any of the Aliens spot you, try to get the alien to retreat using a flamethrower or Molotov, if they are about to kill you, then quickly load your current save. You will also need to look out for the facehuggers, which you will also need to burn or they will kill you instantly, you should be able to hear the squealing before they attack you.

I recommend you watch the video below, so you can see the quickest routes to complete the objectives and when you will be attacked by the facehuggers.

I did the first reactor then saved. went back to it a few days later and got killed by the Alien on the way to the second reactor and thought balls I messed up the achievement now. I finished the reactor section and escaped then the achievement popped. so not sure how that happened.

This might be bugged. I died several times and reloaded from the post-death screen. Still got this at the elevator.

Video works a charm.
The second facehugger where there's also an Alien, can be hard to spot. I think if you drive the Alien back and progress quick enough, you likely wont even hear the facehugger or have it be a problem. And then the alien at the end, near the elevator, I found it easier just to ignore it as I head towards the exit and it didn't spot me.

Something I would like to add is about the facehuggers. As you may know, there are a few of them in this level. Sometimes you hear them squeal but you can't find them and next thing you know there's one on your face. The game doesn't really give you much time to pause when that happens but I found a way around that. When it goes on your face and even if the screen goes black and you're quick enough you can just hit the Xbox home button on the controller. Once you go to home it will show the game paused. Click the game to go back into it and it will stay paused. Then click load current save. I can confirm this works as I did it a few times myself and still got the achievement.

To get this achievement or trophy you must arrive at the end of
chapter 14. There you must go through the Nest without dying.

BEWARE - If you get killed you'll not be able to get the achievement.
I recomend you to save the game 2 times or load always the previous game or
update the game to the cloud or in a USB. If you die load the saved
game and you'll be able to continue as if you didn't die.

Not sure why this hasn't been posted yet, but there's an easy way to cheese this without having to actively deal with the regular Alien.


I'd recommend simply watching the video for the ideal route and molly-prep
or read the important bit:
There are 3 scripted Aliens that will fuck off after a couple seconds of waiting and don't return. You can kill the first 3 Facehuggers just fine, but the one that comes running up to you while you go deeper into the nest usually starts the hunt for the "regular" Alien, if you kill it. To avoid this, immediately go into the small locker to despawn him instead.
That way you prevent setting off the Alien and won't have to deal with any other than the scripted ones and the enraged one that spawns in the entrance-room after prepping the nuke.

This trophy can be gotten during mission 14 when you enter the reactor maintenance to overcharge the Alpha and Beta cores. I will put the rest of the description in spoilers to avoid spoiling it on you.

Like all the other sections don't run, because that will draw the attention of the alien so use your flamethrower to fend off the Aliens and kill any Facehuggers. If you don’t kill a Facehugger then it's an instant death as you are unlikely going to have time to reload your current save. If you die via a Facehugger then reload your previous save instead, you will be sent back further but you will still be able get the trophy.

If you wish you can also back up your save to the cloud so you don't have to replay large sections so if you die to a facehugger you can just use the save you backed up. Also burn any eggs you see in case a Facehugger comes out. After you escape the area and ascend the elevator the trophy should pop.

Here is a video description by PowerPyx:

Mission 14. You cannot die in the “nest”. Press restart in time if an alien or crab attacks. Get the trophy when you ride the elevator.

Video guide . It differs from PowerPyx in that on the way back there are two facehuggers (at 6:00 in this video there is one, but in PowerPyx ’s video, in this place it is not). Be careful! I guess it depends on the difficulty level.

If you, like me, missed the facehugger and did not have time to load the last save, then simply delete the last save through the management utility. In the main menu you will then have to select not “Continue game”, but “Load game”. Well, just to be on the safe side, copy the save file to a flash drive.

It’s not that difficult, the main thing is to remember where the facehuggers will be, before rebooting the first unit there will be a save point, when you are almost approaching the room there will be 1 facehugger, make a barbecue out of it and it is advisable to immediately put 2 more unopened eggs on fire, after starting the installation we go back and another facehugger attacks, the procedure is the same, then make a save and make your way into the next room through the hole in the wall behind the doors, turn right and there a couple more kisses fly in the face (fry), but after that dad can get out (depending on what difficulty you play on , it seems he always comes out, there can be two of them) so we use either a fire or a sound gun right away, if you don’t have time, then a flamethrower, in the case of a flamethrower, it’s better to save immediately further along the corridor you will hear the characteristic squeak of the save, then again we scatter fireworks according to the situation and around the bend from the save there will be another hole in the wall, we start the generator and then the unit, upon returning back another kiss will appear as soon as you climb into the first hole in the wall when you climbed into the room, we fry and tiptoe to the elevator, looking up.

The most important thing is not to die from facehuggers!
