How to unlock the Shield achievement in Blacksad: Under the Skin - Definitive Guide

After you meet Spannow in the cemetery for the "Play Baseball" achievement, you'll meet with Weekly to look at his photographs and learn some information. While interviewing Helen Moore, you'll only be able to ask her one question before she leaves, so ask whichever you're more interested in first. The things you ask don't really seem to lead to anything important and the photos you need to take will be very obvious, so there's nothing to really watch out for in this section.

After the photos, you'll end up at La Iguana. There's nothing very dangerous here, but a lot of opportunity to feel like you're making a fool of yourself. Dropping the act is safe and seems like the better option to me. The conversation path that felt least foolish to me was saying O'Leary is your enemy, then any option about Quince, then saying you want to work with him, then threatening to reveal his connection with O'Leary. (I know that seems like a bad idea, but every other option Paulie just laughs at you.)

In a bit, you'll follow the suspect to a meetup where he'll talk with a horse. Use your senses to look at the gun and listen to him talk, then he'll leave with the guard having orders to kill you. If you look at the guard again you have no options but to look at the gun, but if you move the camera a bit you can look at the ledge above him.

Then you're in an alley; you have to walk all the way back up the alley, around the corner (the only card I found in this section is near the corner), and all the way to the pallet forklift, which you then drive all the way back to the alley. Don't ask me why you have to manually walk all this way when Blacksad would have passed it on his way to where you started.

On top of the roof, if you leap on the guard he'll kill you. You have to choose to stay put, then slide back to the right and climb the ladder. You can interact with a shield, which will lead to a cut scene and this achievement.

Story-related and cannot be missed.

After playing baseball, Blacksad will review his investigation up to this point with Weekly in a darkroom. If some deductions have not been made eliminating some suspects, you will need to do so now. Weekly will then recount his interview with Stone and Moore. Take photos or ask questions until Moore excuses herself to deal with a visitor. Weekly will then have to take photos of Stone while interviewing him alone and sneaking pictures of Moore and her visitor. When asking to take a photo, Weekly will have Stone pose in whichever option you choose. Pan until the frame is into focus then take the photo. Weekly will say that he moved and needs to take the photo again. This will trigger a QTE: press  and then there will be a very quick prompt to press . You need to wait a split second for the prompt to appear; if you press  too early or too late, it will lead to a failure state (the idea for this QTE is to wait until the moving ring is within the gray area around the prompt). Once Weekly gets the picture, he will take a third picture of Stone’s pose. You will need to do this QTE sequence once more. Once the interview is over, Blacksad will inspect the photos.

Blacksad will then head to a bar to try to find his suspect. Complete the conversation however you’d like and it will lead you to Pier 36. Blacksad will need to find a way to deal with a guard and get into a warehouse. Examine the ledge above the guard and this will have Blacksad end up on the other side of the warehouse to look for a way in. Find a forklift northwest of where Blacksad ends up and drive it back to the same spot he started at after he examined the ledge. Do not attempt to jump the guard. Instead, select stay put and shimmy to a ladder on the right to get to the roof. Examine the welding shield (it looks like a riot shield), triggering Blacksad to automatically knock out the guard.

On the roof of the warehouse in the harbor, you don’t need to jump on the guard, but go back to the stairs and climb up which you can find the shield.
