How to unlock the Special Delivery achievement in Crimson Alliance - Definitive Guide

The present mentioned in the achievement can be found in the first room of enemies. After clearing out the room look for the present behind a stack of crates on the left side of the room (be sure to pick up the crates and throw them instead of attack them to not risk breaking the present).

Set the present down in safe spots throughout the level and backtrack to get the present before going through doors that close.

This is much easier to do while playing on co-op and all players will get the achievement on the same run.

Below is my achievement guide showing the achievement being done. Sorry for the length, but I tried to make it as short as possible. I even edited out the backtracking.

Just want to add, the game never really gave a prompt for it but as an added bonus for your effort, you also get special "Unicorn Armor" with some great stats. Just check your gear with the Back button while playing to see/equip it.

thanks for the video. Also very doable in single player on hard!

It is also worth noting that should you die and restart from a checkpoint, you will have to restart the whole level to re-acquire the present.

I have played on normal difficulty and had not much problems up to this mission with the assassin. For this mission, I switched to hard and its really tough cry... The present is not the problem, there are plenty of safe spots to "store" it but there are tons of enemies. I got swarmed and killed three times yesterday angry but I also should use my LB special attack more in these situations... Its annoying that you have to restart the whole mission after being killed... facepalm

EDIT: I purchased the Ice Blade which made this mission considerably easier. I was constantly freezing and killing large groups of enemies (pressing Y-X-X-Y-X-X... all the time). My hand feels a bit numb but I got the achievement :).

First set the difficulty to hard and then start the "Palace of Death" stage. The present is located just up the first staircase and after the first wave of skeletons. There are some crates in front of it that you must grab and toss out of the way. Grab the present and go through the stage without breaking it. Drop it if needed and conduct combat. Watch-out for dropping the present behind doors that may close, leaving you no way back to pick-it-back-up.
