How to unlock the Arctic Grave achievement in Mafia II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be kinda annoying, during your first mission “The Witness” you will get to a part where one of the characters escapes in a Pink car and you end up chasing him and you will be on an icy lake for about 1:30/2mins during this time you have multiple chances to smash into him and hope he goes into the water if you go in the water the mission will rest to the last checkpoint, if you don’t manage to get him on your first time and you reach the road don’t worry pause the game and load last checkpoint it took me about 4 tries and I managed to do it, I think the best thing to do is smash into him with speed so he slides across the ice instead of trying to ram him all the time which I tried multiple times which just made him stop moving which was very annoying.

Easier Solution

When in the car if you manage to crash into him and stop him from moving get out the car and pull him out his car, once hes out make sure NOT TO GO BEHIND HIM AND PRESS B as u will kill him. From the side press B and you will push him do this until he reaches the water and then he will die and your achievement will popdance


Here’s a video guide to help which is really useful as well. Hope this helps 💎🏆

I tried this so many times on 360 but did it in 1 try today luckily on the remaster. I've found getting his car stuck with mine and then pulling him out was easier, I just pushed him with B until he fell in. Think I saw it on a guide a few years back, so credit to who ever made that video.

Thanks for that tip BrotherSully! After god knows how many tries to ram his car in (more than it took on 360) i managed to trap his car and did what you said, worked like a charm! Cheers

Just aim him with your gun after pullling him out of the car. He will freeze and will not move.

Actually did this on my first try via the old fashioned way of pushing, but then I fell into the lake right after him and lost my car.

I restarted the checkpoint in the hopes it put me back in my car but it caused the game to hang up on the loading screeen, and even after a reset it still hanged up when I tried continuing.

Just saying but be careful, cause now I gotta do the first mission all over again it seems.

This cheevo is officially driving me nuts. Pulling him out the car is fine but I keep executing him by accident (at which point you need to completely redo the mission from the start)

I'll defo try aiming my gun at him.

I also got a corrupted save due to this mission. For some reason my repeated retries led to a crash to dash and now the save won't load. Luckily this is the first mission in a new game and I've already got the rest of the long winded cheevos.

I found it easier to push the whole car into the lake. You don't have to make him get out and you don't kill him by accident. Just keep pushing his car into the water, if you manage to hit him on the side, near the water, keep pushing till he goes down.
If you end up in the water as well, no problem, you'll only lose your car, but still get the achiev.

You’ll have a chance to earn this near the beginning of the dlc on the first story related mission.

You’ll come to a part where your chasing the witness across an icy lake in your car. Try your best to get in front of him and give him a push.
I found getting in front of him and slowly pushing his car towards the water is your best bet. The witness is set to a fixed path so he won’t try and go around you if you push his car from the front.

Once the witness falls into the water your trophy shall pop.
If he manages to escape off the icy lake, I would reload last checkpoint where you get another chance.

It is recommended to do this in the mission "Witness - frozen memories".
 
During this mission, you will pursue several witnesses in order to silence them. The last one will take you to a frozen lake. You will have to push it into one of the holes in the ice to silence it. Dash into his vehicle until he can no longer move forward. From there, you can just as easily push his car into the water or pull it out of the cockpit and push the man with your bare hands, using , until he sinks into the depths.
 
If you ever see your witness leaving the frozen lake, press Options and rerun the last save point to start the chase again.

This is done during the first mission. Same method as What Witness? (10G) but you must stop his car when chasing him on the ice lake. When it’s done, drag him out of his car by pressing button-y.png next to the driver door and keep pushing him toward an open spot of water by pressing button-b.png, he will not try to fight back or escape. As soon as you push him into the water the achievement will unlock. Just make sure that you are in front of him or next to him when you push him. If you're behind him, it will trigger a stealth kill on him instead of pushing him.

If you are struggling to get in front of your target's vehicle, you can also force his car into the water from behind or the side instead of pulling him out of the car. Be careful as it also possible to miss or skid into the water yourself.

If you fail just reload the checkpoint and try again.
