How to unlock the Fakeloo achievement in L.A. Noire - Definitive Guide


This guide holds up from the 360 edition of L.A. Noire. I did mess up once and if you Quit out of the the game (Dashboarding) instead of reloading the checkpoint, you can still get this without having to restart the entire case.

I would add that this achievement might be easier to obtain if you get the Incognito Suit which is obtained by completing all of the cases in the Vice desk. So if you are having trouble with this the 1st time around I'd wait until you complete all of the other Vice cases before coming back to it and wearing the Incognito Suit for the duration of the tail.

If you lose sight of him it will also void the achievement, not just if he spots you.

Wrong DeafAtheist. The way you unlock the outfit is below, you would of already unlocked the achievement before getting the outfit.

The outfit can be unlocked after completing all the Vice Desk cases ("The Set Up", "The Naked City", and "Manifest Destiny") without being spotted while tailing suspects. If you are detected, you must restart the entire case. It may not show as unlocked until you take your first Arson case assignment.

If he spots you, go back to the game menu as soon as the cutscene restarts, and then go back in the case. You'll restart from the last checkpoint (when you have to interrogate Henry Arnett in the police station). You'll have to do the interrogation again, but this way you would have another chance for the achievement without restarting the entire case.

Hope this has been helpful

About halfway through the case you will have to tail the suspect Henry Arnett. First you follow him in a car. Stay a safe distance away in your car and be careful to not hit anything and alert him. Once he reaches the pawn shop you will have to follow him on foot. Stay back as far as you can and when possible press on objects to go incognito. Eventually Arnett will cross the street to the right side. Continue following him on the left side of the street to make it easier on yourself and only cross the street once he's gone down the alley. If you mess up just quit out and reload so you start back at the Arnett interrogation. Once you've completed it the achievement will unlock after the cut-scene with your partner when he's talking about the cigarette case.

*Missable* This trophy is achieved by successfully tailing Henry Arnett, first in a vehicle and then on foot. You must keep from being detected through this entire tail. ANY restart due to being detected or failing and you will NOT unlock trophy. If unsuccessful, "quit out" and "resume," which will start you at the station interview room prior to the tail. Once completed, the trophy unlocks during a conversation with your partner over an item recovered from a pawn shop (NOT immediately after completing tail).

Remember when following that the red icon of the suspect will flash to indicate either too close or too far away. When on foot, stand close to objects and press to go into Incognito (cover). Do not use sirens, strike vehicles or move too quickly (like running) or you can be detected.

To obtain , you need to follow Henry Arnett, first by car and then on foot. Moreover, if you are discovered during the process and continue from the checkpoint, the trophy WILL NOT BE GIVEN. If you still get caught (it doesn’t matter if you’re driving or on foot), just go to the main menu and select “Resume” there. After loading, you will find yourself in the station, next to the interrogation room, and you will again need to talk with Arnett.

There shouldn’t seem to be any problems with the car part of the surveillance: just keep your distance, don’t use flashing lights, don’t ram oncoming cars and generally don’t attract unnecessary attention.

For the walking part, here is a video tip . The main thing is, after you cross the road, do not lose sight of Henry for a long time, otherwise the surveillance will fail.

You will receive the trophy after the video and dialogue with your partner.

Also, along with this trophy, you will receive The Shadow (if you did not receive it earlier).

video with, as it seemed to me, a high-quality guide on how to obtain this

If you were spotted during surveillance, then restarting from the checkpoint will not give you the trophy. To avoid replaying the entire chapter, leave the game and enter again, the game will just begin with surveillance in the car.

You can go to the menu, there is no need to close the game.
