How to unlock the Chess Master achievement in Kona - Definitive Guide

For this achievement, you need to find 3 chessboards and interact with them. All 3 are located in different houses/cabins.


1) inside the Roy's house
2) inside cabin A north of the store
3) inside the "northern" cabin (the one with the crossbow bolt sticking out the right side. Key for this cabin is in a shack located in between cabin A and B)

Hopefully this guide has helped you!

I haven't finish the game yet but I am at 33% and I know I got the one in Ray's House & Cabin A (This one seems to not have register?) so I should be at 66%.

DeAtHisLaNd, the same thing happened to me. The one I did in Cabin A didn't register for me after I had gotten the other 2. So my progress is stuck at 66%.

Yes, we should spam them. I can still see our chances very slim on that as every patch needs certification from MS and that cost money - very unlikely in case of Indie Dev...

I don't think players will have much pull with Microsoft, but the dev or the publisher might. I think we need to help them understand that instead of passing this off as Microsoft's issue the problem will also hurt them because knowing it has glitchy achievements could ultimately affect future sales. If they even care...

Okay, so it was suggested to me by another user here who has the achievement to only interact with the chess boards after removing the Ice Wall.

Well, I'm going to stop you all from wasting your time by telling you it does not work, either.

I think this one's well and truly fooked, lads and we're gonna have to wait for the dev. Here's hoping the messages sent to CruelCrewCut and Hitman9800 pan out to a patch...

Add one more to the waiting list... I tried to get Cabin A first. It registered. Then I went to Roy's and it didn't ... All after the Ice Wall. Northern Cabin then registered for 66%. I'm thinking maybe you have to complete the game in order? Or you have to do it the first time you set foot in the cabins?

Rather than continually ask people to tweet or email them, why can't you just do it yourself? The more people expressing interest, the better. But in the response I received from them, all they're saying it that the patch is coming, and to please wait patiently.

"Thank you for reaching us! There is indeed a patch in the works. However, I can't provide a date yet. There are more requirements for a patch on console than a patch on PC, so when we make a new build, it requires more testing. Rest assured though that we will release it as soon as we can. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Not necessarily true. I've shifted my efforts into making sure no one buys this or any future game from this developer.

Because begging them to fix their game is clearly not getting any results.

And we all know what the definition of insanity is, right?

Thank you, Jeff, for coming here to respond to us directly.

Out of curiosity, has the game been fixed to the extent that someone buying it right now while it's on sale will not encounter this issue?
0
0
By AllOvaMyself on 22 Nov 2017 16:26
If you buy the game now and play right away, the issue will still be there. However, when the patch goes live, you can load your progress and the achievement will unlock automatically if you have completed all unfinished chess games.

In other words, the update that will fix this issue will be available to everyone who already has the game now and to everyone who will buy it in the future.

I have tweeted them once again and if there is any response I'll post it here.

I can't stress enough that if they received tweets from every one of you (signing up for an account isn't that hard and you don't have to even use it afterward) the process of getting a response might go a little faster.

I know this sounds kinda shitty, but if you want to see some movement on this, you might have to put in a little effort yourself. Just sayin'...

Hello everyone!

If you don't know me, I'm Jeff, the Community Manager at Parabole. First of all, we want to apologize for the inconvenience and the delays for this fix. We can understand how frustrating this situation can be and although we delayed the patch release a few times, rest assured that we didn't do this on purpose.

In the Tweet mentioned by CruelCrewCut, we forgot to mention that November 30th was the date we would send the patch to Microsoft. However, we are a bit ahead of schedule, which is good news.

So here is the official schedule: we will send the patch to Microsoft by the end of the week. They will then analyze it, which usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks, therefore, worst case scenario, the patch will be live in the week of December 17th.

The achievement has been fixed and tested, and it will work retroactively. To unlock the achievement, once the patch is live, you will only need to load a saved game with all chess games completed.

As a small team with a really busy schedule, we try to meet deadlines as much as we can, but in this case, we unfortunately had to delay a few times. So again, we sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience and the delays. If you have any questions/comments, you can answer here or, for a quicker response, you can join our Discord channel (discord.gg/parabole). In both cases, I'll make sure to answer as quickly as possible.

Sorry for the wall of text :P
Cheers,
- Jeff

EDIT: They have (finally) released an update which fixes the bug. But you can watch Supraboosta's guide above to see how to do this.
===================================================================
You can look at the above solutions for how to get this achievement but if you're like me who is unable to get this achievement due to it being broken/buggy you will have to wait until the next update for the game which could take weeks or months...

I contacted/emailed them 2 weeks ago and one of the developers said they fixed it in their latest build for the game but until they push/update it, it will be broken for most people.

@DungeonxLurker because if it's at 100% then its an error on Xbox's side. For me and many others the achievement was stuck on 66% which is the games fault not Xbox.

This also glitched for me. In order to provide more information and prevent other gamers from making the same "mistake," here is how I understand the glitch to have happened. I played through the game for fun the first time, and only found 1 game (tracker at 33%). I started a new game once I finished, this time going for all remaining achievements. I reached the first chess game (tracker remained at 33%). I found the second chess game (tracker was at 33%, but the progression bar was white, as if it had just been at 0%, and I found the first chess game). I backtracked to the first game, but could not interact with it (tracker remained at 33%). I reached the third and final chess game, tracker went to 66%. So I'm currently sitting at 985/1000G. Once I stop being so pissed at this game, I'm going to delete all the save stuff off the hard drive, and just rush through as fast as possible to see if that works, and report back. I also emailed the devs in the hopes to get some new information about this patch they claim is in the works.

tl;dr: Make 100% damn sure that in your first play through you find all 3 chess games. Do not wait on it, or save it for another play through. Just get it done and out of the way, because this sucks. I personally made this profile for 100% completions, and it's already f***** up 3 months into making it.

There are 3 unfinished chess games to find to unlock the Chess Master achievement.

The final chessboard is in a Cabin that requires a key. The key can be found in the Shack between Cabin A and Cabin B. The key to unlock the Shack is found near the front door, inside Blais' House.

There are three unfinished chess games. When you come across them, interact with them and Carl will move a piece.

  • Roy's House - on the table right in front of you when you enter the front door.
  • Cabin A – This is the bed icon just north of the General Store. The chess board is in the back of the cabin.
  • Cabin – This is the northeastern-most cabin on the map (and it's just labelled “Cabin”). It's past the ice wall, so you won't get to it until near the end of the game. It's on the table just inside the door.

The chessboards are located in Roy's house (bottom of the map), Cabin A (the key to it lies in the Shack, located slightly to the northeast) and Cabin (not separately marked, the northernmost building, located behind the ice wall).
