How to unlock the Did We Try That Already? achievement in American Hero - Definitive Guide

Thankfully this doesn't have to be done on one save file and you can start a new game as often as you want without worrying. I'm going to list the checkpoint, method of death, and how to achieve it.

PRIVATE BOOTH CHECKPOINT

Injected with a needle (yeah or what the -> more)
Death by disco (do nothing -> escape)
Drive-by shooting (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> limo -> Laura's -> gate -> save it -> fight em -> get out -> a ledge -> my ride )
Run over by semi truck (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> limo -> Laura's -> gate -> save it -> fight em -> get out -> do nothing)
Bleeds to death (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> limo -> Laura's -> gate -> save it -> fight em -> get out -> a ledge -> fail the QTE)
Fat Lady Throwing Knife (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> limo -> Laura's -> gate -> grab her)
Broken Neck (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> limo -> Laura's -> gate ->front door -> play along)
Run over by semi 2 (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> limo -> KVK -> A ) (not sure if this is necessary)
Outgunned (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> cut thru -> do nothing x2)

Alternate Routes:

Drive-by shooting (what the -> what the fuck -> boombox -> take it -> Laura's -> either choice -> gotta go -> run -> drop -> get it (Laura's) -> my ride )
Run over by semi truck (what the -> what the fuck -> boombox -> take it -> Laura's -> either choice -> gotta go -> run -> drop -> split (shortcut) -> limo -> KVK -> A)

KVK CHECKPOINT

Chopped By Tiny with an Axe (get in -> yeah -> just talk -> do nothing)
Electrocuted (get in -> yeah -> just talk -> fight -> cable)

LAURA'S HOUSE CHECKPOINT

Bearhug by Fat Lady (any choice -> huh? ->do nothing or fight)
Surprise Gunmen (any choice -> huh? ​-> leave -> waste her)

ABANDONED LOT CHECKPOINT

Shot by Goons (take em or do nothing)

DOCK CHECKPOINT

Beaten to Death by Hooligans (run or do nothing)
Car Crash (pray -> when you get into the taxi leading into the CAR CHASE CHECKPOINT, pick "right" as the choice to die in a lame fade-to-black car crash. Can also be achieved via other routes as long as when you get into the taxi it cuts to a scene of Jack asking who the driver is.)

CAR CHASE CHECKPOINT

Wrapped Around a Telephone Pole (fight)
Crashes Into a School Bus Filled with Gasoline (gas)

CHEMICAL PLANT CHECKPOINT

Shot by Krueger's Goons (kill em) - Note: I find this scene is random. Sometimes Jack will grab the gun and other times he won't. Depending on what scenes you've done prior you might get a choice to take the gun or to run, in which case take the gun then try to kill Krueger.
Crushed to Death (do nothing in the room with Laura)
Shot by Ponytail Guy (when escaping, pick all left or all right options and he will shoot you both)

VIRUS LAB CHECKPOINT

Chemical Explosion (sneak in-> this one)

RESERVOIR CHECKPOINT

Gunned Down by Krueger's Men with Hoover (Hoover)
Gunned Down by Krueger's Men (Krueger -> kill im )
Falls to Death (drums -> Hoover -> grab it )
Jack and Laura Both Die (drums -> Krueger )

Let me know if this doesn't work for anyone.

EDIT: Thanks to albajos in the comments for pointing out the car crash death, I totally overlooked that one in my list.

EDIT 2: Thanks to o El Diablo x who had pointed out that Run over by semi and Drive-by Shooting weren't working as intended, so I found alternate routes to achieve them.

I don't get

Surprise Gunmen (any choice -> leave -> waste her)

from that checkpoint, it's just (leave it/steal it)(outta her/shower)and then the goons starts following me

edit: Found it

any choice - go to shower (huh? I think it is) - leave - waste her, so you were missing one step


Run over by semi truck (do nothing -> boombox -> take it -> shortcut -> limo -> Laura's -> gate -> save it -> fight em -> get out -> do nothing) does not work but
I got this with the do nothing achievement so I think I got it

Anyway, I've done everything in the list but no pop. But the game freezes constantly, and some unlockables in the menu that I have done are still dark. So I wonder if the game has stopped saving.

How about that, I found it a minute later. A simple car crash

so from getting in to the taxi, just chose right and you will crash

easiest checkpoint is probably the dock, from there -> pray -> right

Oh crap, thanks for pointing those out. I'll edit the solution after work to have those corrections.

o El Diablo x - I have found a way to get these two deaths. I've updated the solution, let me know how that works out as I just tested / wrote down these paths.

Thanks so much for sharing your thorough work! I def couldn't get your first Drive-by shooting to work, and couldn't even get the 2nd to work until I realized you skipped "climb" between "Laura's" and "either choice." Unless checkpoints can have slight differences, Drive-by can simply be Checkpoint - Laura's House -> forget it -> gotta go -> run -> drop -> get it (Laura's) -> my ride )

I think for the Drive By to work you have to go to Laura's house like 2 or 3 times in the opening loop, as that's how it triggered for me.

Shot by Krueger's Goons (kill em) - Note: I find this scene is random. - This isn't random. Here's the path to get Jack to grab the gun in the chemical plant:
Do nothing
Limo
Laura's
Climb
Forget It
Hmm?
Not Now

Broken neck route for this is wrong . take off “gate” front door is the right option . gate will take you in a meet the fat lady .
