Raising the Bar

Raising the Bar

In the Main Campaign, upgraded one attribute (Health, Shield, or Salts) to its maximum level.

10

How to unlock the Raising the Bar achievement in BioShock Infinite - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you'll need to find and use Infusion bottles to upgrade either your Health, Shield, or Salts to it's maximum level.

Now you'll need to find 10 Infusion bottles during your travels to max out one attribute completely, and it's represented with a STAR on the bottle. They first appear at the Blue Ribbon bar, changeable red/blue/yellow bottles, and can be found by searching areas, picking certain locked rooms/chests, and discovering secret areas. There are a total of 25 Infusion bottles within the game, and 30 if you purchased the Season Pass with enough detective work you should get this achievement in one playthrough.

I discovered 9 Infusion bottles, and had 5 from my Season Pass before I unlocked the achievement, I was in the process of pursuing Elizabeth.

Once you've maxed out one of your attributes to a STAR, you'll pop this 10G achievement!

PS: The game allows chapter reloads at the Main Menu to collect missables such as Voxophones & Telescopes/Kinetoscopes but you CANNOT attempt this when looking for Infusion bottles. So keep that in mind!

is this achievement glitched? if you use the "bonus" ones from the preorder/season pass bonus does it glitch it? i maxed out the armor to 10 and did not get it so i am wondering if others are having an issue

I maxed out my health and the achievement popped. I'll look into this issue and revise this solution if need be. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, when I had '10' on the bottle, I thought it was fully upgraded, but then I saw it was only 9 upgrades. Upgraded 1 more time for the achievement.

Just to try to clear things up here, your shield, health and salt meters all start at level 1, this level is not counted in the menu (the bit where the dots are coloured in under "gear") this means that level 10 means you have applied 9 upgrades. You must have applied 10 upgrades into the same stat to get a star, which is what unlocks the achievement.

Just want to add that this isn't missable. I followed a collectable guide upgrading each slot equally as I was unaware you couldn't upgrade all slots to the max. I selected chapter factory as I had 4 slots left on my health and played through until financial district in emporia to fully upgrade my health. Didn't take me long.

I was short one infusion of full in two categories when I finished the game, So I only needed one more upgrade by the time I was at The Operating Theater checkpoint. I loaded it and grabbed the last infusion of the game (I think) and the achievement popped for me. Thanks for the solution!

I'm not sure what exactly is causing this glitch because I just started and new playthrough to clean up the collectibles and odds and ends. In order to progress in the beginning of the game, if you have the bonuses you have to pick them up or else you can't move on. What I did was place all five into my health(since I was following the guide for the collectibles the infusions were on there as well) and the next 10 infusions I placed all into my shield and it unlocked. So i guess try this if you have the bonuses otherwise like in x Zot x's case idk.

Don't level up all 3 attributes evenly. There are only 24 infusions in the game, not 30. Upgrade only your shield and health.

We download the shield first by investing the first 10 rubles and a half and that’s it!

The trophy is glitchy. I pumped the elixir completely and it didn’t fall out.

Depends on your play style, but I would recommend focusing on the shield. The reason is simple, it recovers itself. Onslaught has an upgrade that restores the shield almost instantly and gives temporary invulnerability.
