How to unlock the Respect for the Dead achievement in Gears of War 3 - Definitive Guide

This achievement is called Respect for the Dead (5 points)
Your respect for the dead earns you access to Griffin's special weapons stash.

In Act 4, Chapter 1 you arrive in a city full of dead people which are standing in the streets. If you don't demolish them. You will get access to Griffin's special weapons stash.

This is just after you get permission to see Griffin on your right side. The room is blocked by a barred fence. When you move close enough and have shown respect for the dead, the women in the room will open it for you. Inside are some good weapons.

I completed this chapter without touching any of the dead ash people, didn't realise that you actually have to walk up to the door for the achievement to unlock. Doh! Now I got it though, thanks!

I accidentally rolled over one ash person but still got it, either I was lucky or you actually need to shoot them to blow it.

From the start of Act 4, Chapter 1 (Ashes to Ashes) you will see the remains of the people that where there before the hammer strikes, they look like grey ash statues. You must NOT destroy any by your hand otherwise you will have to restart. Make sure not to run over them as they will shatter. Don't shoot them and don't hit them! When you gain access to the camp and go through the door, when they open it, look along the right wall for the locked gate, providing you have done this correctly she will open the door for you.

Edit: Please see my video below for more information. Thanks gamers! toast

The polyp explosions shouldn’t void the achievement.

In Act 4, Chapter 1, you will start in Char, one of the first Cities to be hit by the Hammer Strike. All you need to do for this Achievement is make sure that you don't shoot, or walk into any of the Ash People. Your AI teammates can walk into them and destroy them, but it has to be you that doesn't.

Once you have helped the stranded kill the two Stalks that appear you will be take up the tower to see Griffin.

The person leading you will have an arguement with someone on the other end of a door, which will then open for you.

Once you are inside, keep to the right hand side and you will see a barred door, just before a table. Stand outside of that door and you will hear a woman says "I guess all COG aren't assholes" (Or something like that) and the achievement will unlock.

Hi Mate!

Do you recommend Co-Op the best bet to get this achievement?

This is likely easier to do solo, as I think the first time I ran through this with my husband, one of us touched a body and the other didn't. The achievement didn't pop for either of us.
Granted, that was several years ago, so my memory may be dodgy.

This secret achievement "Respect For The Dead" will only give you 5 gamerscore but you get access to Griffin's secret stash of weapons: Incenary grenades, Boomshot, and Torqe Bow....

(Doesnt matter on what difficulty)
Be care in walking in Act 4, Chapter 1 cause of the ash citizens of Char. Make sure you dont shoot your weapons or run into of them or you teamates (AI's dont count). If any of the traps hit the ash people have no worries it wont cost you the achievement....there will come a point where you are going up a hill a shopping cart will roll down towards the ash people stop it before it does. After defeating the 2 Stalks Ash Man will come down the elevator and let you up...head your way to the blue door where Griffin will see you once in there will be a gated door where the Weapon shop is the woman will let you know whether your worthy to come in or not, if she approves you get the achievement and also some pretty sweet weapons with full ammo....tho the next chapter will load up and these weapons are useless.

*Bonus*
If you get this achievement between the 2 weapon shelves on the right is a Chicken wearing a pirate hat press (X) it will burst into flowers. On this same Chapter there are 3 Ammo boxes that when you try to go for them they fall off the cliff when done they unlock a funny clip as well as the powerful "Cluckshot"...first ammo box is on the hood of a car hanging off the edge. Second ammo box is hanging off the edge of a railroad tracks. And third is after you find out the Cable Car is locked down after all the Formers run out of the building after you if you head past the entrance and go straight there is the last ammo box you try to kick it down but it falls of the edge...The Pirate Chicken is called in for Air Support riding on a ship built with ammo boxes...It will then release 4 Cluckshots for your use...if you Super Reload it will shoot out 1 chicken that will scatter into 3 explosive chicken shots....Thanks IBACKBREAKER for showing this too me as well as Rooster Teeth for their video,,
