How to unlock the Magpie achievement in Call of Juarez: The Cartel - Definitive Guide
First chance you get to achieve this is in Chapter 1 by simply collecting 3 out of the 4 secret items. Keep in mind that each character (Ben, Kim & Eddie) have different locations for secret items but are usually around the same area. I have listed all secret items for all characters in Chapter 1. See below:
Ben McCall (Chapter 1)
- Item #1: right after you go down the rope it's on the right next to the van
- Item #2: right after the first one and you open the fenced door it's on the corner where the rope ends, on the left
- Item #3: after 2nd one you go up into a mansion, it's the house on the right the door is open.
- Item #4: after the above you have to plant 2 bombs, from the bomb on the right take the path on the left, it's on the corner on top of a crate
Eddie Guerra (Chapter 1)
- Item #1: after destroying both tents and reaching slopes. Before going down it's on the outer right corner
- Item #2: after going down the lift rope it's on the left on top of a big crate
- Item #3: it's close by to the first bomb planting behind it to the right, on top of a crate near the base of the house
- Item #4: it's inside the last house (where you plant 2 bombs)
Kim Evans (Chapter 1)
- Item #1: after destroying both tents and sliding down the slope, turn around it's on top of a crate
- Item #2: it's in area where you plant 2 bombs, the very first house on the right on the porch
- Item #3: same area as above, behind second bomb that you plant
- Item #4: same area as above, inside the house on the left connected to the first bomb that you plant
Secret Items will appear on the screen as “eyeball” icons. Simply grab 75% is any one level without being seen, and the achievement unlocks during the level upon collecting the item that puts you over the 75% mark. Theses secret items are very visible, as they appear on your screen without being directly near them. Thus making them very obvious.
