How to unlock the I Chose the Impossible achievement in BioShock Remastered - Definitive Guide

I found the easiest way to acquire this trophy is to enter Survivor Mode in New Game Plus. I played the game on normal first, and then entered Survivor Mode after. By the time you get to Medical Pavilion in NG+, you're given all of your weapons from your previous game. So you're basically loaded. After that, once you get to Neptune's Bounty, visit the first Gene Bank and you'll be able to equip any tonics/plasmids you've attained; again, from your previous game.

You should turn off Vita-Chambers, instead of half-arsing around and trying to avoid them. Go to Options>Gameplay Options>Disable Vitachambers. Keep in mind that because Jack won't be resurrected, if you die you'll have to load you're previous save. So save often, whenever you see fit.

The beauty with this trophy is that it stacks. You're able to pick up Brass Balls, A Man Chooses, and Seriously Good at This within the same run. Also, because all of your information from your previous game carries over. Trophies such as Avid Inventor, Maxed All Tracks and any photography based achievement doesn't need to be started from scratch.

Resources are way more hard to come by, and enemies deal a hell of a lot more damage. Although, if you're in NG+, this shouldn't be too much of an issue, at least in the beginning; because your health/eve upgrades carry over too.

I found later in the game, particularly in Prometheus Point, i had trouble with my Eve Hypo/First Aid Kit supply. This just may be me however, if you ration your resources you should be fine.

If you play your cards right, it is entirely possible to platinum the game in two runs. One on Normal or Easy; in which you get any plot based Trophies, Historian, Weapon Upgrades, Photography, hacking, and ones like Irony; and one on Survivor, in which you can finish up on crafting, and other trophies you've missed.

Will definitely give this a go after completing my first game. Thanks for the heads up.

For this achievement to unlock you have to disable Vita-Chambers in the main menu settings before starting a new game on the survivor difficulty setting and then come complete the game.

Here's the first part of a series of videos in which I do this playthrough if you're stuck with anything in particular hopefully it helps you out.

There is a glitch that makes it easier to obtain this trophy. We go through the game on any difficulty without using “Vita-chamber” and as soon as the cut scene starts after defeating the final boss, go to the settings and change the difficulty level to “Survivor”.

The use of VitCams can be disabled in the options menu.

It’s quite tolerable without a glitch, it’s even possible without Vita-cameras if you use manual saves and loads after death. It is also possible to get all the improvements, plasmids and tonics (useless third-level plasmids, like a swarm of bees, can be bought towards the end, when Adam is over the top and you don’t mind spending it), if you return to the starting locations already pumped up and mow down the initial sisters and daddies, which won't be a problem now.

So, in the Remastered version, I decided not to bother with Survival and completed the game first on Medium. and then, having refreshed my skills, I started the Survival mode, and, lo and behold, New Game+ was there. But in fact it turned out that all the plasmids, weapons and research remained (and appear in the Medical Pavilion) and the game needs to be completed only by the plot.
