How to unlock the Sherlock achievement in Metro 2033 - Definitive Guide

Sherlock - find all hidden golden bullets in all stations

Courtesy of BigC 6one3 from x360a

Station 1 Homestation
1) At the start of the game you'll get the first ammo in a cutscene (10 bullets)
2) Leave the room and go a walk a few steps. Follow the way (watch the left side of the screen) until you see a small pot which is flipped/laying on its side. The bullets are in this pot. (3 bullets)
3) Go until you see a man who plays guitar. He's surrounded by little kids who listen to him. The bullets are in the hat that's laying on the bench. (5 bullets)
4) The last bullets you'll find in this station are in a big room with many crates and metal shelves/racks. Just follow the way trough that room and pay attention to the left side. The bullets are in a crate on the floor. (2 bullets)

You can leave this station now and should have 20 bullets if you found them all.

Station 2 Riga
(Since this is a big station I tried to seperate this just to make it easier for you. 1st area is the bar and the rooms underneath the bar)
1) The first bullets in this station can be picked up from the table after the cutscene. (30 bullets)
2) The bullets are on a table in the bar nobody's sitting at. (1 bullet)
3) Look in the sink near the stairs. (1 bullet)
4) Walk down the stairs, turn left, and turn left again. You see the armory and 2 filing cabinets. It's behind the cabinets on the floor. (thanks blizz 1 bullet)
5) Go back to the stairs and post yourself as if you just came down the stairs. Now turn about 110 degrees to your left and you see boxes and a stack of wooden boards. The bullets are between these wooden boards. (1 bullet)
6) Now walk to the traintracks where a lot of homeless people beg for bullets (NOTE: I didn't gave them bullets!) Walk all the way until the end of this walkway. A couple of guards and ordinary people sit and stand there. Walk over to the one that's standing on the left side, next to the traintracks. Post yourself right in front of him, kneel down, turn 180 degrees and look slightly to your right and on the ground. The bullets are on the floor and BEHIND the rails/pipes (Very hard to spot!) (1 bullet)

Now leave this area and go to the boy who wants to take you to your contact for a bullet. Don't give him a bullet. You should now have 55 bullets.

7) Go a few steps forward and turn left. Follow the way until you can't go any further and you should see the bullet laying on a wooden roof. (1 bullet)
8) Go back to where you entered this area and walk over the bridge. Walk past the beggars that sit in the middle of this area and take a look in the right corner that's in the back of this area. There's a wooden shack and the door is open. The bullets are on the upper bed. (1 bullet)
9) Go back to the enterance of this area again and go down the stairs to the lowered way. Continue your way like you'd normally go and pay attention to your right side. There's a shack with 2 people sleeping in it. The bullet is on the floor, sitting on the right side of the door but IN the shack! (Hard to spot, 1 bullet)
10) Now follow the way until you reach the end of this lowered way and you stand in front of a couple of toilets. Search for the bullets in the toilet that's on the right side. (1 bullet)
11) Leave the toilets and walk up the stairs. Look slightly to your left and you see some crates and a candle on top of the crates. The bullet is behind the candle. (1 bullet)
12) After you've picked up Number 11 turn arround and cross the bridge. Once you arrive in the area with the burning trash can, turn right, and go to the shack with the open door. The bullet is on the upper bed. (1 bullet)
13) Leave this area, cross the bridge and turn left. Follow the way until you arrive at the next bridge but don't cross it yet. Next to the bridge is a shack that's open and the bullet is on the floor next to the bed. (1 bullet)
14) Now go to Bourbon. But don't talk to him yet. Look at the table that's behind him and nobody's sittin at and you should see the bullet on top of the table. (1 bullet)
15) Now talk to Bourbon and you can pick up the bullets after the conversation. (10 bullets)

Follow him now until you arrive at the last area of this station. I call this area the destroyed bathrooms. If you followed my guide you should have 73 bullets now!

16) As soon as you enter this area turn left and you should see the bullets on top of some crates. (1 bullet)
17) Follow the way a little further a you see a candle on top of a grey metal case, that's hanging on the wall. The bullet is behind the candle. (1 bullet)

Now finish the level and you should have 75 bullets!


Station 3 Market

1) Before you go past the sandbags stand in front of them and turn 130 degrees to your left. There are a few red crates and small brown crates and the bullet is in one of the brown crates. (1 bullet)
2) Now enter the station, as soon as you walk trough the door that leads into the station turn to your right and you should see 3 blue lockers. Open the right one and the bullet is next to the helmet. (1 bullet)
3) From here turn left and walk to the "window" and the barrel with the candle on top of it. The bullet is right there. (1 bullet)
4) Now turn to your left and enter the train. Just as you enter the train take a look at the right side. The bullet is on the upper bed, "leaning" on the bedpost. (1 bullet)
5) Now go to the last bed that's on the right side of the train. The bullet is just again on the upper bed! (1 bullet)
6) After you picked up Number 5 turn arround and strafe to the left a bit and you can see the bullet on a bed. (1 bullet)
7) Now go to Bourbon and he'll give you the next bullets in a cutscene. (15 bullets)

If you followed my guide and did everything right you should have 96 bullets now.

8) As soon as you enter the area after the conversation with Bourbon turn to your right and look at the floor. The bullets are next to/under some small brown crates. (1 bullet)
9) Now go to the opposite side of this room. There's a dark area here with a ladder standing in a corner. The bullet is on the ladder. (1 bullet)
10) Stay right here and look (JUST LOOK, DON'T GO) to the bar. You should also see a big grey wall that has the word "Market" written on it. Go right there and post yourself "under the word". Now look at the table with the 2 men at it and grab the bullet thats on top of the table. (1 bullet)
11) You don't need to move after you've taken Number 10. Just turn to your left and look at the board that's attached to the wall. It has glasses and bottles on it and the bullet can be grabbed from where you stand right now. (1 bullet)

Now enter the "Market" and you should have 100 bullets.

12)Take a look at the left side first. Go to the "butcher" (has pigheads and pigfeet on his tables). The bullet is hidden very well under some small table/bench! (1 bullet)
13) DON'T MOVE AFTER YOU'VE PICKED THIS ONE UP! Just turn arround and look at the door you came trough. You should see the benches, that are in the middle of the market with men sitting and baggage standing on them, on the left side of your screen. You should also see a wooden pole/pillar and men standing next to it. Behind this group is another bench with people and baggage. And the bullet is hidden between the baggage on the bench! (1 bullet)
14) Now go on the other side of the market and look at the stone wall between the 2 shops/merchants. There's a pallet with crates right there and the bullet is in the middle of the crates! (1 bullet)

Now leave this area and go to the "weapons market". You should have 103 bullets now.

15) As soon as you enter the weapons market turn to your right and go behind the trolley. It's on the floor next to some ordinary ammo (you can pick this up if you want to, 1 bullet)
16) Stay on the right side of the weapons market and go to the man that's standing next to a small cupboard. The cupboard has a gas can on top of it and the bullet is behind the gas can! (1 bullet)

You can now go and buy 1 filter and you should have 95 bullets if you did everything correct. Leave the level.

Station 4 Armory
1) Go through the level until you reach the first platform. Go to end of it and turn to your right. There are 3 barrels and the bullet is on the floor next to the barrels. (3 bullets)
2) Leave this platform and go to the train that's on the opposite side of this part of the station (DON'T GO IN THE ROOM WHERE YOU TRIGGER THE CUTSCENE AND THE CHASE YET!). When you're standing next to the train turn right and walk until you arrive at the end of this platform. Turn right again and the bullets are on top of some crates. (3 bullets)
3) Now go to the room that triggers the chase. Once the cutscene is over and you can move again try to follow your partner as good as possible. At one point he tells you to crawl so the soldiers can't hit you. As soon as that part is done stand up again and pay attention to your right side now. The bullets are on some crates there. (3 bullets)
4) After leaving the home of Khan's friend turn to your right. Walk a bit and turn right again. The bullets are on top of a crate. (3 bullets)
5) Now go to Khan's friend and he tells you to jump in a pit from where you can get in the trolley. Once you're in that pit look at the floor and at the ladder that's in the pit. The bullets are behind the right plank of the ladder! (3 bullets)

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!!

Can this be done by simply redoing the levels, or do you have to redo the whole game?

Great guide, was wondering why there was a few bullet lying here and there all the time.

I found an extra stash of bullets on Riga station while you follow Bourbon through the Cursed Passage. After you come across the dead body with the bats that fly away in the tunnel, continue forwards for a little while and there will be a hallway on your left. Inside, there is a gutter with a dead body and another hallway forwards and to the left. You will see a jail cell type room straight ahead with a dead body half in and out of the rails with the two golden bullets. There are also two lurkers here. Just thought I should add these bullets. Great guide other than that though!

Just so everyone knows you can spend the ammo on things you will still get the achievement. I spent almost all of them just before i picked up the last 3 bullets and it still popped

Very easy to follow, Market #9 took a while too find, it's actually in the Market bar room next to the ladder on the left side as you come in. Otherwise all great.

To answer multiple people's question, you cannot load chapter at each station, you MUST play from Exhibition all the way to Armory without using chapter select.

I followed the site walkthrough and didn't get the achievement when I was supposed to. So I started a new game using my memory device (as to not overwrite my save on my HD) and followed this guide, running quickly through everything. Achievement popped as expected. Thank you!!

Ya, I used the walkthrough too and it didn't pop in the Armory for me either. I'm really not looking forward to running through this again. Don't get me wrong, the game is intersting, but I hate having to do redo collectibles, especially easily missed-you can't go back for them-no indication which section you missed one collectibles.

Thanks for this. After having followed the walkthrough and not getting it, I loaded up Exhibition and followed this all the way through to Armory, and it unlocked on the last bullet.

If I reload the Dead City chapter cuz I missed some dead soldiers for the ranger achievement, will that screw me up for not getting this achievement?

By David Connors on 05 Sep 2015 22:44
Does this screw up the Enlightened achievement? You get a negative moral point for at least one of the bullets you take, example the Guitar player on the third level

I recently attempted this on my last full playthrough of the game a couple weeks ago, but didn't get the achievement. It must be because I didn't get the bullets from Bourbon in the Market. It must be a glitch. He's supposed to hand you a second set of bullets in the Market Station, but in my game, he didn't.

I started from Lost Tunnel to get the first trap. Once I made it to the Market, I received the 15 bullets from Bourbon. Then I played all the way up to the Armory, followed the guide here and still didn’t unlock the achievement.

I can confirm that you can collect golden bullets in between chapters and can reload chapters as long as its the chapter you are currently on. Its likely you can spend some bullets too but i didnt check. You simply have to do as the cheevo description describes. Just find those bullets and you get the cheevo.

By Leon Dreams on 06 May 2010 02:52
Just a heads up, but if you miss a bullet you can load up the level if it is on your most recent playthrough. However, you'll have to play through any stations that follow from that point on. For example, I ran through all 4 stations last night, accidentally missing one in the Market. Today I loaded up the Market and then played through Armory, making sure to get all the bullets again, and achievement unlocked.

After 3 attempts and no achievement, I looked at the comment section for the achievement on xbox360achievements and someone mentioned that you shouldn't buy anything.

So I ran my 4th run not even giving bullets to the kid or beggars and spent nothing. The achievement finally popped for me.

I followed the video snoppkaparN posted (Thanks very much for that) It helped me out no end. There was one the guy missed though which was after #40 there is one on the boxes as you go through the door on the right at roughly 5:35 on the video. Also you can still give beggars,the kid golden bullets for guiding you and buy things too. I realised this after I went to get the final bullet under the ladder but the achievement didn't pop up. I was devistated as I didn't listen to the warnings of spending and thought that was what I did wrong. So I loaded the last checkpoint and explored and found one the guide missed out then jumped down and got the one behind the ladder and it popped up :)

I followed the video and saw your note so I made sure to look for the bullet you mentioned however in my game there was no bullet on the boxes I looked for about 5 minutes , I then ran over to the ladder picked up the final in the vid and it popped ... Perhaps there is a bullet or two that is a random spawn though because I clearly remember finding one or two (granted Im not sure if it was a dirty bullet) that the vid did not show in a completely different location

I missed one set of bullets, during the 'Armory' level while getting chased in handcuffs. I loaded up the 'Armory' level again after completing it, and collected ALL 5 sets of bullets again and the achievement popped. :)

You will collect Military Grade ammo to use as currency through the game. You will find this ammo hidden around each station. Most of it is fairly easy to spot, others aren't. You will need to look in every location possible.

Attention!

Any purchase made at any of the 4 stations will result in the achievement being blocked.

To open an achievement, you need to find all the ammo WITHOUT PURCHASES!

Play on an easy difficulty level so that you don't have problems with a lack of filters and ammunition.

I confirm - the videos provide comprehensive information about the achievement... achievement; sorry for the pun. I watched the video and was immediately able to earn an achievement.

I don't quite agree with pRedAcToR. You still have to buy filters on Bourbon’s recommendation, otherwise the story won’t go any further.

PS pRedAcToR, I buy filters every time I pass, so you can make purchases at the stations. The only condition for receiving the achievement is to find all the bullets
