How to unlock the Master Archivist achievement in Amnesia: Collection - Definitive Guide

Not exactly a guide, but I posted this on the comments of the console guide for this Achievement, and I wanted to post it here as well.

I ran into the bug mentioned by @Halfaxa above. I was able to load a save before grabbing the last Note in Amnesia: The Dark Descent (for me, this was the one in Cells) and it popped the Achievement. It does seem to be glitched if you perform your collectible run then your Hard run on Dark Descent without playing the other games between. Also, since my Achievement unlocked when picking up the Note in Cells, it seems Diaries aren't actually needed for this Achievement, but I can't verify this. I can confirm this fix worked for me on Xbox and Windows versions of the game.

So I can confirm that you have to do all playthroughs of all 3 games while finding all notes in each one right after the other without starting a new game in-between. I did the games out of order by doing Justine first, then A Machine for Pigs (finding all notes), and then The Dark Descent (finding all notes) and the achievement didn't pop. I then realized my last playthrough of Justine I didn't get all the notes since I had done that first so I went back and re-played Justine while getting all notes and the achievement popped when I picked up the last note. So I did an all collectible run of AMFP, then an all collectible run of TDD, and then finished with an all collectible run of Justine, one right after the other. This is the only way to make this achievement pop.

And as others have noted, Daniel's journal entries (the ones he reads out-loud) don't count in TDD, only the notes listed in the WT.

I can confirm after collecting all notes from all games and no achievement pop up, reload a The Dark Descent save from the Cells and pick up the note from one of the cells and it should pop! Thanks to @Shawnthebro and @EarthboundX for pointing this out!

I think DoomScott is on the right track with his comments. The achievement didn't unlock for me until I replayed Justine and collected all notes (again). Here was the order of my playthroughs:

1. Justine #1 (all notes + save everyone)
2. Justine #2 (no notes, kill everyone)
3. Justine #3 (no notes, kill some save some)
4. AMFP (all notes)
5. TDD (all notes) - No achievement
6. Justine #4 (all notes) - Achievement unlocked!

Justine doesn't feature saves. My guess is that the game either didn't save my notes or my 2nd/3rd playthroughs of Justine (with no notes collected) overwrote the save. Then I had to play Justine a 4th time just to get all the notes again.

Hmm, played all the games in order without hard mode in TDD, and this didn't pop for me after getting the last note in Machine of Pigs. Guess I'll try to repick up a note in TDD.

OK yeah, I also had to load a save from TDD in the Cells and pickup the Last Prisoner Note to get this to pop.

If this also happens to you, make sure you finish A Machine for Pigs first before going back for that last note in the Cells in TDD. I hit a weird save bug that wiped out about an hour of progress when I saved and quit playing A Machine for Pigs to go back to TDD. It just didn't have any of my saves from the last hour or so, and I had to replay back to finish the game. Seems this is a bug the game has had since its Steam launch back in 2013.

Yeah,
for xbox played 5, 4, then 6.
All went smooth.

Then for windows played 6, 5 , 4.
Played Justine first because it is quite an annoying chapter.

Popped after re-doing it.

Cheers for the post.

For chapter 1 and 3 (Machine for Pigs).
If you lost a collectable, reload a save where a missing collectable is and complete the game from this point onwards.
In generall stic to yt
and you'll be fine.

In Ghost of the Past, Daniel's diaries do not count towards the count; the last entry will be in a prison with a well in the middle. If you missed something during the passage, you will have to go through it again; it will only count if you collected all the entries during the complete passage

The first clue is not correct - the last note will be in one of the rooms in front of Alexander, and not in the prison with the well.

Justine ( Still Alive notes and trophy ).
A Machine for Pigs ( notes ).

The notes must be collected in a row, but it does not matter in what order.
If you play according to this guide: https://youtu.be/IJ70ZCrlRkI?t=1 then to get the trophy after completing it completely, replay the second part, collecting all the notes. And the trophy will drop!

The trophy did not fall out after completing three parts, I was sure of collecting the notes. The reason, as I understand it, is the following: in the Justin part there is no save, that is, when you die, you start all over again. Therefore, it turns out that the counter of collected notes will not be saved and you need to go through it in the following order: Dark descent, machine for pigs and only then Justin. Then if you collected all the notes in the first 2 rounds, the achievement will definitely fall out.
Also, it is not necessary to collect diaries, you just need notes.

Not the right hint, you can play through the games in any order; in Justine, despite the lack of an autosave, notes are saved.
