How to unlock the An Anomaly achievement in Observation - Definitive Guide

Here is my 100% Achievement Guide for Observation With ALL Collectibles!

At 4 points during the game, you will hear this electric, intense noise and a hexagon appears.
This hexagon then gives you 3 patterns which you then have to enter correctly. Kind of like a memory game.

To get this achievement, you have to complete all 4 of these WITHOUT a mistake.
Luckily, its so much easier than it sounds as...
1. If you do make a mistake, apparently replaying the same point using the cn_LB button does not void the achievement.
2. It is literally not random at all, so you can copy exactly what i have put down and it should always be the same.

There are 8 answers you can choose from, and to answer you have to click the obvious correct pattern by using any of the D-pad or the A,Y,X, & B buttons, depending on what the answer is of course.

If you want to see all 4 being complete, go to :-
1. 36:20
2. 1:21:30
3. 2:34:45
4. 3:08:20

So just copy excactly what i do and you will unlock this basically at the of the game.

Hope this helps!

I made a mistake on the 3rd puzzle, pressed LB to restart the puzzle and never got the achievement. So I'll have to replay the whole game now. 😩. My advice. If you make a mistake, dashboard the game and replace the latest section to be safe.

Same thing happened to me. In the third Hexagon encounter they have two symbols very similar (the pyramid of boxes) and I redid the first sequence as the guide suggested and didn't get achievement. So I also recommend going to dashboard instead.

Dashboarding is definitely the way to go. I made a mistake as well on the third puzzle because of the pyramids and only realized when the puzzle wasn't over in time but quitting right away got me the achievement in the end.

Yeah that 3rd puzzle was a dick move with the 2 symbols looking the same...
Dashboarding did the trick 😅

I made the same mistake, damn pyramid lookalike. Solved it by dashboarding and quitting and got the achievement at the end.

Thanks to BinkUncia from the playstationtrophies.org forum
(https://bit.ly/2VcDg3e)

This achievment is missable.

This achievement is awarded for correctly repeating the symbols to the Hexagon entity each time it appears throughout the game. The Hexagon appears 4 times and below, is a video showing a quick walkthrough of the game and the time-points that the entity appears. Credit to codedot:


The Hexagon's symbols are luckily not random so feel free to re-watch a section using the video if you missed it the first time.

PLEASE NOTE: I think "replaying" the set of symbols with will void the trophy so I advise you don't use that at all and if for some reason you make a mistake, just quit to the menu to restart from the last save.

Thanks for the guide. I can confirm: quitting after messing one up and restarting will still get you the achievement

Replaying does not appear to void the trophy, as I sat down and replayed multiple during a single session playthrough and still got it. It seems the only requirement for it is to complete them all without failing.

I can confirm replaying does not void the achievement. I replayed practically every one (some multiple times because I wanted to be 100% sure I was right), and I still got the achievement. I was never wrong and never had to redo it, so feel free to abuse the replay as much as you want.

Mines just glitched, to the point I can't advance the game. Just says the codes wrong and sends me back to do it again. Over and over again. Despite the code being correct.

boydo1990 I thought I had same problem as you but if you check the symbols correctly there are two very similar billiard(pool) square type symbols. Are you talking about the 3rd encounter yeah?

Thank you for sharing the video. Maybe interesting to add to your guide the timestamps of the hexagon, so there is no need to navigate (or watch it) to get to them:
1) 36:51
2) 1:15:50
3) 2:08:24
4) 2:38:31

Confirming, again, that you can replay the messages without voiding the achievement. Please update the solution. Cheers!

I failed a message and immediately pressed start and quit, came back in and played through, still got the achievement. Also I was able to replay messages without voiding the achievement.

Is this awarded by not making a single mistake in the game or for not completely failing any of the instances that appear? Because I didn't realise what was going on the first time and made a single mistake once on the very first instance, but passed each one after that in that instance and continued with the story.

If you lack the achievement of anomaly, like me, you can make a second pass with this speedrun, with doing 3 anomalies the achievement jumps, it is not necessary to do the 4

Can confirm this works. One word of advice; when the speedrunner quits out and saves, do so, or you'll have the anomaly to do that isn't necassary.

As the game progresses, you will encounter a hexagonal something. In this case, you need to remember the symbols and correctly sequence them.

The trophy will be given if you never fail in making combinations throughout the entire game.

If you make a mistake, you can exit to the menu and then continue the game.

Type characters carefully and without errors. In the last section of the puzzle there are two types of “pyramids” and do not confuse them! If you typed correctly, there will be a blue blink that says >>>. If you made a mistake, there will be a red flicker and the inscription <<<. If you make a mistake, then repeat the entire puzzle from the last checkpoint. Video guide (en).
