How to unlock the Ray of hope achievement in Blair Witch - Definitive Guide

Just unlocked this. What I did was read all her messages, called her whenever I had the chance too (do not forget you can call her in the prologue after going through the wooden gates). If she calls, respond. Sometimes you need to call her yourself. When do you know when to call her? Whenever the game shows a beacon/satellite icon in the left bottom corner of the screen, it means you have connection on your phone. That's when you should try to call her. If you did it correctly, it's going to unlock at the beginning of Chapter 16, right after...



I have uploaded a video where I show how to get the Achievements "Pacifist" and "Ray of hope". It's in 4K, but it might take some time for YT to process it to 4K. So, if it's 360p in the meantime, y'all know why XD

Here's the vid:

I had a feeling this is what you were supposed to do. Thanks for the confirmation

Looks like I have to get this on my second playthrough, Jess keeps telling me to get lost in the woods and never come back.

I'm not sure if it's possible in the first playthrough, I did indeed do this in my 2nd.

I've played through 3 times now. I still can't figure out how to speak with her again after I went into the sawmill. The must be a really small window.

Yep. I wasn't able to call her again after that. She seemed like things were great when I got to the sawmill.

I should mark down every time I call, like I'm trying to do with collectibles.

You say to ring her after you go through the gates in the prologue, but it just says line busy?

I called her when I got to the sawmill before unlocking the gate.

First, go to messages, read her latest message, and then you should be able to call her.

I can't get this after 3 runs. In chapter 16 she calls, but doesn't say anything to me. I'm going through one more time and noting every time I call.

Are you calling her or waiting for her to message or call?

Hmm, it’s possible to unlock this on the first playthrough, a friend of mine did it last night and we started our run together.

Jess ended up hating me again but I still got the good ending and pacifist for not killing or breaking dolls etc, I called Jess and read every message on every occasion afaik, I saw bullet in the end too and that achievement also never popped so I have no idea what finding out what happened to him means.... -_- Not going to do a 3rd run till all collectible guides are out and there's a 100% guide to patching it up with Jess.

I'm uploading a video right now on YT about the "ray of hope" and "pacifist" achievements, and on how to get them exactly. Standby for a link once it's uploaded (it's gonna take a while haha xD)

I called every chance I got, and I got the cutscene where she says “it’s a start,” which is the same exact cutscene from the video, but I didn’t get the achievement. Maybe it’s just buggy, or I’m unlucky, but I don’t get how I had the same cutscene but didn’t get the achievement.

You really need every interaction with Jess. I missed answering one call in the middle of the game and did every other interaction noted, and she broke up with me in the end. This should be labelled as a collectibles since it acts just like it. You need all interactions to unlock it seems.

I feel the cellphone conversations are a bit odd for this game. If it was called "Scary Woods Demon" that would be fine, but this is the same reality as the movie? The kids get completely lost and isolated and don't realize they can use the sun as a compass. Having tiny phone breaks to catch up with the gf seems out-of-tone.

Maybe it makes sense by the end. Right now the calls just seem out of place. Especially since he doesn't tell girlfriend about or finding or PTSD flashbacks or .

I was able to unlock this on my first playthrough.

Off topic: I agree with Wolf, this whole b-plot felt weird and underdeveloped which is unfortunate considering the potential the concept had.

For a comprehensive guide, see my Not A WalkthroughTM list. It walks you through the entire game, including other story-related and collectible achievements.

Part 1: Blair Witch Not A Walkthrough - Part 1 - Beginning to Truck Fuse Puzzle
Part 2: Blair Witch Not A Walkthrough - Part 2 - Truck Fuse Puzzle to Rail Track
Part 3: Blair Witch Not A Walkthrough - Part 3 - Rail Track to Third Campsite
Part 4: Blair Witch Not A Walkthrough - Part 4 - Third Campsite to Finale

Here are all of the times I interacted with Jess.

*Answered her call in the car - SHAME FOR TALKING WHILE DRIVING
*After the fence, Jess texts and I call her back.
*Bullet takes me through tall grass. Jess calls soon after.
*After I fix the truck battery, Jess texts and I call her back.
*After I found Lanning, I called Jess. (This needs to happen quickly before you get to the dry stream.)
*After the battle, while I'm on the rail tracks, I called Jess.
*After I ride the rails and the bridge collapses, Jess calls.
*After I get to the sawmill and get reception, I called Jess.
***IMPORTANT: After you've gone through the fog, after the stag sequence, there's a VERY small window where you get reception. Call Jess. You'll leave a voicemail.
*Note: During the Twisted Maze, you'll get a bad call from Jess. Don't worry.

This will pop after a cutscene during the transition to the 4th campsite.

If you're going to mark something as important with a Very small window, then you're going to have to provide a bit more detail and clarity on exactly where service pops up, especially in horror games where some people could very easily miss it.

The signal pops up on screen. I was nothing that it doesn't stay on for long, especially during that sequence.

There's a lot going on and the symbol alone is easy to miss if you aren't paying attention since it vanishes quickly, it's just best to note specific locations where it happens to save someone having to do a completely new playthrough for it.

"After you've gone through the fog, after the stag sequence"

I don't know how much more specific I could be. That's how I posted it. Sequence ends, reception pops up.

Did everything here except the call after finding Lanning and when I got to the saw mill (it was so soon after the bridge collapse I didn't think to do it) and the achievement still unlocked. Of course it does not hurt to do it, just to be safe.

Here is a great video I found showing all locations and texts where interaction with Jess can occur.

There are a total of 16 texts/calls that need to be experienced. In some cases, the text must be read before the phone call can be made (example - just after the dog training). Make sure you read all the texts before you call when you get the signal again after the battery is fixed.

During my first play thru, I missed one phone call after the long grass part, and I didn't read the text spam until later in the game, but I got every other interaction but I still failed. Therefore, I feel that you must make EVERY interaction possible in order to get this achievement.


This was not made by myself, full credit goes to: S1R CARNAG3 on Youtube.
