Perfectly accurate guide. Believe it or not, the one achievement that stood between me and this achievement until today was "Everything's Better With Bacon"! Possibly one of the most difficult achievements in the game in my opinion! :-)

Very well constructed guide. The fact that you used the site code to show each user what achievements they have and what they still need was very helpful. Thank you very much.

I'm not sure what to tell you. Everything I have come across says that is all you need for the achievement.

I finally got it! I had all the required achievements and didnt have it. All i did was play a xbox live game (my first one ever) and at the end of the game i got "basicly native" along with "ready for the sequel"!!! Dont know how it happened, dont care how either. All that matters is that i finally got it.

@Grimmr74: Try doing something else that unlocks an achievement (one you have done or a new one) and see if that causes it to re-evaluate your game.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! I just got it not a minute ago and do not have Big Al's Scooter, Penny Pincher, or Basically Naive. As far as I can tell, you need all the green achievements. And none of the co-op or online ones.

I can confirm, thanks to boosting with smiter3000, that the 'big al's scooter', and ;penny pincher; achievements are not needed for this, as he does not have those but got this. can the solution be edited with credit please :)

Great guide.., I had been doing the Heroic Par missions, spend a while trying to get bacon (that was a tough one), clicked this guide, noticed wall of recognition was within reach, only needing 6 missions..

there's no need for Backscratcher

The only one's you need are the achievements with green pictures.

I think 'DragonFangDan' is correct: you don't need "Big Al's Scooter" and "Penny Pincher". Somebody in my friendlist has these achievements unlocked AFTER he got the '100%', ... so that got me wondering. So, it looks like all these achievements you need are the green ones, yes. Of course, the "complete Acts" achievements are blue colo(u)red, but "this" would come naturally, since you need to complete the campaign (which seems logical to count towards a 100% completion)

I have everything on the list (literally, even the non-needed) and have no achievement. Can anyone confirm a way to maybe re-force the game to check for these?

By keyhole69 on 31 Mar 2014 12:35
It depends on how the game check for achievements. Some games scan your stats to trigger it, some only trigger at the time of the event, and some only trigger when any achievement event occurs (you do something to get an achievement, then the game scans all achievements and issues any that meet the conditions). Offhand, I don't know how this game does it.

I think you can safely say at this point it isnt an announcement for the sequel. Although this game deserves one.

Is the unlock trigger for this achievement based on whether or not you have unlocked all these achievements (like a platinum trophy)? Or is it based on whether you have met these requirements in-game? Loaded up Halo Wars 360 on my Series X last night to find that my cloud save had been wiped, which included my 100% completed campaign with all par times, gold medals, etc...

I just got this achievement having completed everything on the list except the "basically naive" achievement for getting to recruit rank on xbox live so can 100% confirm its not needed if you get all the others.

By Devil Warr1or on 19 Jan 2021 11:22
Same as GuitarHeroAero said. Save is gone all stats 0. Is the 100% based on stats or achievements unlocked?

By Katarn StarKiLR on 24 Mar 2021 08:58
do you know what it is that this achievement tracks? I mean, does it check for unlocked achievements or for progress on your save/profile? I completed most of that stuff years ago but lost my save, so I'm wondering if I'll have to do everything all over again

Answering my own question (above), I can confirm that if you lost your save before unlocking this achievement, you do not need to re-do all that you had completed already. In my case, I had unlocked everything but the "Better with Bacon" and the "Basically Naive" achievements, and this one popped after getting them (hadn't even completed campaign in my new save yet). I got the rank achievemnt first, so I can't confirm if it was actually needed though

UPDATE: repeating @Runner eGirl's comment. IT IS BASED ON ACHIEVEMENTS UNLOCKED. You do not need to redo everything. My save was wiped and I lost all my Legendary, medals, par times. Just unlocked Ready for the Sequel after grabbing all the Black Boxes again to finish the Halo timeline.
