How to unlock the Slow Bro achievement in Harold Halibut - Definitive Guide

Hi !

The other guide was deleted so i will post my comment here as it should be useful.

So play time during menus and maybe dialogues doesn't coun't for this. That's why it takes a long time and most of you are struggling with this achievement.

I unlocked it when I was at work.I had to plug my controller and use a rubber band on both sticks to let my character in movement (I tried without the rubber band, but the game was put to sleep after 15 minutes and the achievement never popped after 24hrs of playtime).

Be careful, you also need to disable automatic shutdown in settings !

Keep this achievement for last obviously wink

Hope it helps !

37 hours, no achievement. Guess it's bugged and I'll have to start a new save when they sort Forschergeist

Worst achievement ever. I completed the game in 15 hours and 26 minutes, yet no achievement popped. If it's true and cutscenes and dialogues do not count (some even say that standing still doesn't count either, it counts only when walking), what's the whole point of this? It's a damn narrative game, not an action RPG. Shame on the devs. This is a really bad choice to make. I hate these kind of achievements and I hate the devs for it.

Can anyone confirm if this pops when the time is reached or at the end of the game if above the time?

I agree with LedZepElias - if dialogue/cutscenes don't count in this time, when MOST of the game is dialogue and cutscenes, that's complete bullshit. Last night I left the game running while I did other things, just occasionally moving Harold a step so the game wouldn't go into sleep mode, and my playtime according to TA is 16 hours but no achievement. So at the very least, seems like it doesn't count if he's standing still. I'll try the rubber band method today and leave him constantly walking into a wall.

Ok I only had to leave the rubber band on for about 40 minutes before it popped for me (overall time about 17 hours), so I think the only thing that didn't count in the time for me was when I left Harold standing in place. I'm in Chapter 5 of the game, so I think it HAS been counting dialogue/cutscenes after all, thank god. Or maybe it's just buggy, for some of the people who are reporting 24+ hours and no achievement.

This was written in the Patch Notes 1.5

An important info to the Slow Bro Achievement: The Timer doesn't count in menus (which is why the playtime shown by steam and your actual playtime will likely not match). In case you are at the end of the game and the achievement hasn't triggered yet, you can just stand around (or sit in the cozy Lounge until you get your achievement :) We are thinking about ways to improve upon this as this confused a lot of our lovely players :)

I'm at 83+ Hours and this still hasn't popped.

Does this need to be done on one playthrough or does starting a from the start and playing for an hour or two to push you over count?

Main issue for me is leaving the controller idle for long enough as even rubber banded and usb it keeps turning off

You don't need to move on PC. I put the game on background and the achievement popped up alone after five hours. And the game is Play Everywhere, so the save file is shared with consoles :)

Does anyone know how to see game timers on Xbox? Do you have to finish the game for it to pop?

Anyone on consoles, turn on the arcade game on the right wall and just let it run during the epilogue if you think you're short. It works!

@Sauroncete has the way. Fire it up on PC and forget about it for 15 hours. Just popped for me idling at the start of 6.2 for about 9 hours. According to xbox timer I had 18 hours play time when I started my PC idle.

How in the world? It hasn't popped and my play time is more than a day. This is an aggravating achievement.

Two questions on this.

1) does the achievement pop on completion of the game or during your playthrough once over 15 hours?

2) my game goes idle and 'pauses' even when I'm playing the arcade game so I guess ive got to rubber band it?

Is this one continuous playthrough? Can it be multiple playthroughs? I have over 20 hours. Played through it twice and I have no achievement

UPDATE! I emailed the devs it is ONE playthrough. This is from the email they said "So when you chapter select 1.3 the timer that you had in 1.3 is loaded as well, so when your playtime in 1.3 was lets say 2h, than everything from there on gets added on top on the 2h. So depending on what you did (and assuming this second playthrough was faster), you probably came to the end before 15h." Hope this helps clarify for anyone who was confused like I was.

Ok, I don't know how helpful this info will be but maybe here's something. I followed what the guide said and made sure not to have menus open unless necessary. But one this I also did force quit/close everything. So when I was done playing I would hit quit in the menu (after making sure I saw a save icon), go to the Xbox home, and the use the select button to quit/close the game. If you close the game this way, TA actually has a correct representative of the time you've played. TA has me clocking in this achievement at just over 17 hours. I kinda have a theory that Quick Resume is causing issues. I definitely did have to pad time by kinda standing around and walking back and forth. I don't think playing naturally would get someone to 15 hours or even following a guide.

I'll also add I didn't mash through dialog

If you have already finished the game this achievement will not pop (I found this out the hard way)

To get the achievement if you are in the same situation as I was:
- Delete all save files and create a new game
- Leave the game idle for 15 hours using rubber band method
- If your controller keeps going to sleep, put Spotify on and plug in your headphones
- If your console keeps going to sleep, change this in your xbox settings
