How to unlock the My Hero achievement in Hydrophobia - Definitive Guide

Here is a video guide (mind the intro) for this achievement. Soon as the timer starts run back to the chief and open the door behind him to put out the flames. Reload checkpoint if timer runs out.

After the bad guys leave and you enter the security room and use the terminal, you have to run back to the Chief in a set amount of time. On normal, I think it was 45 seconds, which is pretty tight. If you take a wrong turn or two, kill yourself so you can try again. The path is pretty straightforward and the only tricky part is the part where you have to climb past the fire - just immediately jump to the rail, wait for the fire to die down and then climb past. When you get to the chief, pop out your console thingy and look at the door behind him, through the glass (it'll be highlighted in green), then press X to open it. Water will flood the room and put out the fire, saving the Chief.

If you screw up, the Chief will beat the window of the office out and escape anyway, but you won't get the achievement. If this happens just run into some fire and die. You'll go right back to the start of the timed sequence so you can try again, even if you fully watch the cutscene (the checkpoint isn't until after you use the terminal in the Chief's room, I think).

I think dying by flame is more fun, but just to add another option, you can press start and choose Load Game and then Last Checkpoint to do the same thing. If you do fail, be sure to restart before Chief Billingham finishes talking with you. I think the game saves the next checkpoint as you join him in the room he escaped from.

On Hard difficulty level the time limit is 60 seconds you have for this task. You can also jump over the pit when the fire on the right side disappeared - it saves time. However, time is not a problem here. And the next checkpoint is definitely once you use the terminal in Chief Billingham's room - so you can always retry on this task as long as you do not interact with that terminal manually.

On normal and/or hard difficulties, you'll have 45 seconds (otherwise 1 minute if you're playing on easy) to save Chief Billingham. Achievement pops if successful. If you fail, the chief will beat the office window and escape anyway, but the achievement will stay locked. If so, reload checkpoint and try again.

Near the end of act 1 you will have the chance to save the chief. When you use a control panel shortly after seeing the malthusians in person for the first time you will get a checkpoint and a timer will appear at the top of the screen. You must run back to where the police chief is, equip the Mavi whilst stood in front of the window and open the door behind him.

some policeman will be locked in a room, after you pass by him for the first time on the quest, the timer will soon turn on and you will need to run to him in an instant, then grab the tablet and open the door behind him, there will be a lot of water behind the door and everything will end in a super buzz, having achieved yours.
