How to unlock the Davy Jones' Locker achievement in Hydrophobia - Definitive Guide

** This achievement has now been fixed with the update**

I got this achievement again on my second account, Act 3 shoot the glass rooms in the corridors and shoot the enemies (wont matter if you get pistol kill or drown kill) I'm not sure about environmental kills but I avoided that and used sonic rounds, not sure about different ammo but I suspect that wont matter. Got the achievement on my tenth kill underwater which was in the corridors after the hack module. Unlike my main account I played the acts over and over til I got the achievement, much easier now after the update.

It's a buggy one, indeed. There must be something we're missing.

I'm checking again on new save, might be that it only counts certain kills.

Just a heads up this seems to be fixed after the patch, I got it on my tenth kill.

It wasn't bugged, you just need to know the right way to do that. It's easier because sonic rounds are now lethal, not fixed because it was bugged.

I tried going through chapter 3 several times and no luck. I was able to get it on my play through using sonic rounds only. In chapter 2 when I got to the first loading bay I flooded the room (Maelstrom Medal) I then waited for the room to fill with water and lured the malthusians into the water.

I was getting both gun and drowned kills for them I thought it may matter but when I started chapter 3 I flooded a hallway and shot a guy he then drowned and I got the achievement.

I don't think the multiple play through's of 3 will work due to it erasing your date up until that point

I had some trouble getting this one. First thing I tried after finishing the game (didn't get it at first try) was restarting from Act 3 since all the battles at the start of Act 3 are underwater.

Then I just rushed to the 3rd room where you meet the 2 underwater guys, killed those, killed myself and restarted from checkpoint. Did this 5 times, 2x5 = 10. Well, that didn't seem to work.

Yesterday I just restarted the game from Act 1 till the end killing as much guys underwater as possible. Even at Act 2 there are corridors you can flood. And then I got it near the end of Act 3, so my guess is that it has to happen in one playthrough but I'm not sure of that.

Also, you may need to kill 10 without retrying in one go, I'm not sure of it but since my restart-trick didn't seem to work..

If anyone knows the EXACT method, please let us know!

** NOT A BUGGY ACHIEVEMENT **

This just looks hard, but if you know the right way, it's quite easy.
When you get to the Loading Bay 1, use the CCTV to open flooded door. Then shoot the two cracks in the wall across the corridor you came in. The whole room will be flooded and you can get 8 or 9 kills, I don't remember the exact number.
Let the enemies drown, die by enviromental hazards or shoot them to death, just be sure you are underwater when you fire your gun.
Kills have to be done in one playthrough. Achievement unlocked for me when I killed the first guy in the Cycloconverter room, ACT 3.

EDIT: Haven't played the game since the new update, but from what I've picked up, this guide is still actual, it just won't take you so long to shoot them to death underwater due to that sonic rounds becoming lethal.

Unfortunatly this was a buggy achievement for me and reloading Act 3, after completing the game, didn't work.
So I had to start a new playthrough and finally I got it.
Then I suggest to get the kills you need for this achievement during the playthrough and not reloading chapter.
Hope this help

You should be able to get this near the end of act 3 if not sooner.
Just use your energy round to knock out the malthusians underwater and they will eventually drown. Just do this as much as you can by flooding corridors and rooms then going underwater and you should be able to get this achievement quite easily.
