Above the Influence - 100G
Adventure Mode - Finished a game where neither player drank Sleg.

Sleg is the silver liquid referred to in the game which makes you pretty much invincible. There are moments throughout where increasingly harder waves of enemies come out and there is a large vat with sleg in it to tempt the players into drinking it.. avoid drinking if you want the achievement. The battles may be tough to get through without it, but work together using battle charge and spell links on one another to get through these waves.

If you or your partner drinks it by mistake, reload checkpoint and you'll still be able to get the achievement. When you finish the game, at the start of credits the achievement will pop.

There is also a sister achievement to this one where one player has drank the sleg..

If you (or your partner) have drank the sleg and finished the game on your first play through, you can replay the levels on the current game save without drinking them. No need to create a new game or Adventure+ in order to obtain. Thanks to FailedSeppuku for that info.

@Almighty - I am just following what the description says, "neither player" so no one drinks the sleg throughout the game. If one person drinks it, you are most likely to get the other achievement in which one person drank the sleg. So to be on the safe side, no one drinks it as stated in the description if you want this achievement.

If one person drinks it you're screwed, because in co-op your friend is playing as your heroes, so anything they do affects your game. If it was the other way around it wouldn't affect you as you're joining their game and their game progress.

If you play co-op with a buddy can your buddy just drink the sleg and not you throughout the game, and will that count towards YOU not drinking it? Or if one person drinks it are both players screwed?

@Luaith Laoch - Pretty sure you'd have to start a new game/new save or do adventure+ (be sure to collect all items before doing so, it will reset collectibles). To my knowledge, if you drank sleg any time throughout the game and finished it, you would have to play a new game i.e. start over without drinking. I say this because the game takes in account the previous chapters where you drank the sleg.

Just some fun info, when I replayed Chapter 6 at 6.4 there was a sleg vat in which I drank, and I had previously played and finished a whole game without drinking it. When I finished the last boss, the ending still ended up being the one no one drank, although I did drink the vat at 6.4. However, my friend started replaying at the beginning of Chapter 6, drank the vat, got the other achievement.

I've been playing coop with a friend and he's been drinking all the sleg.
I've then been going back through the levels (to collect missing stuff) on the same save and not drinking the sleg.
The achievement just popped, i had read somewhere that you can just go back through the chapters with the sleg and not drink them and get the achievement, this seems right as it's what i've done.

So if you drank the sleg in say 3.5 you could go back to that chapter and finish 3.5 without drinking the sleg, then go finish the 6.6 again for the achievement.

@FailedSeppuku - Thanks for the confirmation that is good to know.

Have some additional questions for that though. The times you both were playing, who was the host? When the achievement popped were you playing by yourself or were with your friend? Just trying to figure out if there is some technicalities. But it is good that you do not have to start a new game in order to obtain this.

Does anyone have a list of the chapters with sleg so I can go back and play those chapters without drinking?

By phoem on 06 Jul 2011 01:10

@phoem - I want to say Chapters 2-6 all had sleg vats. As for pinpointing in sub-chapters I cannot recall off hand which they were in.

By RaajTM on 06 Jul 2011 02:47

well i re-played the following chapters to get this achievement
2-5, 3-2, 3-5, 5-1, 5-3, then played from 6.3 through to final boss though should be possible to go straight to final boss after not drinking sleg in 6-3,i just replayed them until the autosave after not drinking sleg, then loaded up next required area ,btw it's much easier not to drink now it as your really over levelled for most of them having already finished the game

@RaajTM
just to let you know i just tried restarting (after the first run through getting this cheevo) from 6-4 and it worked fine for me just played through tio the end without skipping any more parts and saw the bad ending plus the cheevo popped as soon as the credits rolled.

Well, I'll explain how I got it.

I played with a friend for interconnection (I guess that Xbox Live should also work).
My friend always drank Sleg. So after finishing the game, got both the achievement.

In that game, I was always E'lara.
So to make the achievements of Caddoc, I began to repeat the level 1-6, 2-6, 3-6, 4-6, 5-6 and 6-6 (final Boss level).

I was surprised I got this achievement. And this is simply because Caddoc as a character was not played in my profile, because I always used to E'lara in the cooperative.
