How to unlock the Auld Lang Syne achievement in BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition - Definitive Guide

1999 mode isn't that hard in most cases, but there are a few areas where help is necessary. I would highly recommend NOT using the dollar machines and getting the missable acheivement at the same time.

BioShock Infinite: The Complete EditionScavenger huntThe Scavenger hunt achievement in BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition worth 295 pointsCompleted the Main Campaign in 1999 Mode without purchasing anything from a Dollar Bill machine.


Troubled Areas

In the vault.

An easy method, that worked for me is to get rid of the bodies from Mrs. Comstock so she cannot keep reviving them. I did this by walking to the vault door, shooting at her to activate from INSIDE the vault and then running BACK through the back entrance in the wall. I then circled around and went up the stairs and entered the boss room from the patio. Again i shot at her jumped off and went back in the hall. If you enter from here, you can leave the room which offers shelter. and all the enemies will follow you up the stairs, and if you kill them here, she will not follow and therefore once they are dead, she will not revive them, and then you can easily kill her.

Fight outside Comstock house

MUST HAVE UPGRADED Devils Kiss FIRE TRAPS. Lay 5-10 traps to the left of the statue as shown in the video. As soon as she spawns, she will be killed. HOwever, these must be upgraded for maximum damage, and an instant death. (see 4:41 on video of actual placement)


Command Deck - made easy

This is VERY EASY! Make sure you have the upgraded RETURN TO SENDER trap. Then immediately upon starting, encircle the blue glowing machine with traps. As long as an enemy doesn't get too close, they will take 95% of all damage for the entire fight. And then possess everything that comes close and prioritize your bird to attack anything with a rocket. It helps a lot to have the clothing perk that gives you salt for your kills so that you can keep up the possessions indefinately.

Just some extra tips:

When dealing with Handymen, you can permastun them by using the crows. Just cast the crows and then you can get two or three shotgun blasts off before the spell stops. Recast and repeat.

This guide was such a life saver! Although I didn't have a lot of the Crow vigor traps to put down it still took her health down to half, enough for me to kill her. The final battle I forgot to upgrade the return to sender trap and it was impossible to complete it without it so I had to reload an earlier chapter to upgrade it and then I got it first shot! Thanks for the great guide.

Does the konami code still work to unlock this mode or do you have to beat hard first?

Early on use bucking bronco and one shot a lot of enemies and then later once you have charge upgrade that, a good weapon and combine with gear that stuns and the game will be easy. The Konami code does work.

Putting the shields around the generator thing on the command ship made it so easy! I messed up a few times putting them on the floor rather than the side. But once I got them on the sides it barely took damage!

Stupid easy with all these tips from the guide and the comments everyone left. Died 3, maybe 4 times. I found Charge and matching gear tip (from Bong) the 2nd best tip ever. Made the game so easy. And then the Return to Sender at the end. WTF. Made the last battle a cake walk.

Be warned: This achievement as well as "Scavenger hunt" DID NOT pop for me after beating the game on 1999 mode. Needless to say this gave me a mini heart attack considering that I just slogged through the entire game and beat the hardest difficulty (with no dollar machines used 😭) for no rewards.

If this happens to you too, try this solution; it worked for me. Click continue game from the main menu with main story. You'll start in the post game with Elizabeth outside a lighthouse door. It takes around 15 minutes but do all the post game stuff and when the credits roll this time after doing all the cutscenes and stuff the two achievements should pop. Best of luck dudes.

Great guide! The "hardest" part is the first chapter or 2 when you don't own the armour yet.
But after that: With using the "Extra! Extra!" gear when you find a Voxophone and scavenge every single part of the game, all the barrels, and possessing all machines this will be a breeze through. Even Lady Comstock wasn't that hard with this trick.

You can even kill Lady Comstock in the bank with Charge and gear with a high chance to either burn or shock. Only the final fight can be a bit hard, but you can even kill most soldiers until Lady C is all out of soldiers and she does nothing but fly around and be pissed....
It cost me nothing more than 600$. I still ended up with +30 lock picks left and 6000$ in my pocket..

Huge thank you for the tips on the 2 bosses, made them very easy.

Overall, however, 1999 was nowhere near as bad as people made out to be as long as you are somewhat competent at FPS games. smile I'm not amazing, but I only died about 6-8 times during the entire playthrough (I technically haven't completed it yet; I managed to get Command Deck done before work and the rest is non-combat so it'll be piss-easy). Easily the hardest part IMO was the beginning of Downtown Emporia, that area sucks

Extra Tips:
- My main piece of advice = search absolutely everything. I mean everything, every drawer, every corpse, every thing. Was able to upgrade shotgun, sniper, devils kiss and return to sender plus partial upgrades to other weapons and vigors.
- I grabbed all 24 infusions. Maxed out shields, and got health & salts to 7 or 8. This is another thing that will massively, massively help non-elite gamers like me. prioritise shields because they regenerate.
- Spam shock jockey if you're in a panic. Resources are scarce in 1999, but salts are not. You will find salts as quick as you use them, so don't worry too much.
- Went from A-B wherever possible (did a "completionist" run first on easy)
- Shock Jockey / Shotgun combo is amazing for dispatching regular enemies (including heavies).
- Murder of Crows/shotgun (or volley / RPG) combo on Handymen is decent, plus a gear drop where they take much more damage
- Shock Jockey and Shotgun/Sniper/Volley or Devils kiss against Patriots. Found them much less difficult than handymen.

This really isn't as hard as you might imagine... don't get me wrong, the enemies are harder and ammo/vigor's etc. are fewer, but I never ran out of anything. The key is to take your time and search everywhere. Some other choices I made that really helped me are:

Upgrade the Possession Vigor as soon as you can - this was my life saver... I would often hide from a large battle and just hit possession on anyone who got near me. This left only a few enemies to finish off.

Sniper Rifle and Shotgun or Handgun should be your weapons of choice - of course, this is down to preference, but I found the sniper rifle was great for those enemies that wouldn't come to me, and the shotgun or handgun was great to finish those that did! I only upgraded these three guns during this playthrough, as money is quite scarce.

Return to Sender Vigor is vital for Lady Comstock and the last battle - again, another preference that some might not like, but I found that this was amazing for the two hardest parts in the game. I'd save your cash and upgrade this vigor fully if you can - use it whenever your shield is depleted on Lady Comstock and lay traps in front of the generator that needs protecting in the final battle.

Upgrade Shield and Salts first and Health Last - I found salts invaluable for the Possession vigor and Shield for sustained protection... if your health is knocked down, there are usually pick-ups (such as food) that are close to a battle and Elizebeth will often throw you health packs or can open a tear nearby which you can use.

Winter Shield clothing is great for when there are skylines - or so I've read, unfortunately, as clothing is random, I didn't get to grab this piece (and I thought I had picked up all clothing upgrades!). If you do get this, then be sure to equip it for the last battle.

I hope this helps.
