How to unlock the Pandemic achievement in >observer_ - Definitive Guide

PureRuby87 made this awesome guide. It has almost everything you need to complete this game: cards, cars, roses, patient records and some of the missable achievements (not all of them).

Be careful though, as stated before, this achievement is HIGHLY missable. It's easy to make one wrong move and miss a card.

do you only need to get the one you missed if you do another playthrough?

This doesn't mention that you need to jack into the Beast's/Victor's mind after the trap door sequence. I assumed I simply hadn't reached the next card yet and carried on through the game until I realized, and by then it was too late. REALLY wasted a lot of my time.

Excellent guide thanks, I think the game is bugged tho, the card you picked up outside room 205 is not there for me, in fact the table its supposed to be on isnt there, I have started again and I have the same thing. Do you need to do anything to make it appear?

It took me 3 playthroughs to finally unlock this bloody achievement. The game tends to not register properly the cards while you're picking them up. I had some issues with n°50. Try to have the card facing you before pressing B. You can rotate it with the right thumstick while holding RT.

No, you need everything in a single playthrough as far as I remember.

It is quite confusing as some of the cards are not picked up like normal but "slide" into your collection (You also can not see them too well too) .........I had that happen about 3 or 4 times. I think I am on par, but if it's not: Another playthrough where I can rush through the game and only go for the "story related quests and fuck the subquests as I solved most of them already.

While using this guide and the site text guide, I got to the tattoo parlor and realized I was 2 cards short! Recommend gamers back out to main menu and check the collectibles section often. I did not. I always closely examine the cards and scan them but think I did a fast pick-up in Amir's sequence. If I had checked the menu more often, I would know where to go back to on a replay. Geez!

Update: after missing cards and immediately starting new game 3 times and uninstalling and reinstalling the game to internal HD; card 46 would not register. Re-started at save and had the EM white forest glitch where the green panels to end the illusion were laying on the ground. Unplugging Xbox and restarting did not help. Cannot pick up card 46 near balcony door. Glitch resolution is to start a new game. NOT!

Used the guide, ended up with 65. Didn’t know what happened but during my 2nd run I recognized that I forgot some..;)

But still ended up with 68/69... I really don’t know what I could have missed, this is really annoying.. hope 3rd run will be the good one !

The cards can be glitchy. They sometimes don't appear in your inventory. Also after you reload some cards are there some arnt. The auto save feature doesn't help, I think that's where some of the issues lie. Be aware of the card not appearing outside of room 205 near the monitor. I reloaded at one point, had to pick up the cards again in that area, the rest where there but not that one.

The thing is that even if you play through the whole game in 1 shot, you still may have some missing cards.. that really sucks !

For some reason it never brought me to the area that Nanophage Patient Card 33 is located (During the Helena Hack Dream after the washing machines.). Did anyone else have the same problem? I also had a problem where RC Car 3 never appeared.

Picked up 27 cards and after an auto save I backed out and checked my collectibles. Says I have 21. I give up.

Well shit, I didn't realize there was a way to track your progress, and now I'm scared to look (currently about 60% through my first playthrough). Can anyone tell me if any of the cards OUTSIDE of the dream sequences/internal sequences are missable?

First playthrough, 68/69. Thought maybe I missed something.

Second playthrough, all in one sitting, 67/69 following the walkthrough to the letter. The only thing that stands out to me is there was a point where the game crashed shortly after I picked up two cards but before the next auto-save. Even though I picked up those two cards again, my only guess is that the crash bugged out the progress. I also noticed a LOT of instances where the game would lock up for a second or two, so I have to assume the collection aspect is buggy.

I'm really not a fan of point-and-click adventure games, wish I'd done a little more research on this title before I started it. Now I have to sit through this crap for a 3rd time (with my fingers crossed that it doesn't crash) simply because the developers never thought to or didn't want to include a manual save feature . Wish there was a streamlined guide for just the cards, but oh well.

Don't forget if you try for this that if you "die" (ie quit out and resume) you will need to go back and make sure any cards near that quit were collected. I just got to 69 having made sure I got them all by following the walkthrough and no unlock. So I must have lost at least one due to a quit...
...or one of the fucking five dashboard crashes I experienced while playing this shit game. It sucks because I started off enjoying this. I will not attempt a second playthrough.
I guess that's why my percentage isn't great, I couldn't force myself through this twice. No idea how some of you are doing 3 times (it wouldn't be as big a deal if there was a better tracker, a chapter select or fewer cards but 69 + uncertain progress tracking isn't worth it to me).

Ended up short a few while following the walkthrough guide and visual guide to the T. Had a couple of crashes to dashboard but unsure if that was the culprit. Went through the collectibles from the main menu and visually matched up the faces of my cards to the ones that I was missing in the video. All of them were bunched up around the same time frame in the beginning where you enter Janus the Janitors office. I know for a fact I picked those cards up so yeah this is very buggy, forewarning.

At 27 cards it said I had 21. Zero issues with crashes or reloads. One thing I did notice is several of my cards had the same faces as earlier collected ones and didn’t count as new. They also didn’t match up with the visuals in the walkthrough.

Ugh. It says I'm two cards short of where I should be in conjunction with the walkthrough (game says 45 when I should have 47). I'm already near the end of the game, so I guess I'll just finish the game to get the rest of the achievements before doing a second playthrough for the cards. :( I wish the game was better at tracking which cards you have/don't have. Then I can know if I could possibly collect the 2 missing cards if they weren't missable.

things that i learn is that when i quit or if the game crashes and you follow the guide meticulously to the tee, always check the last card spot you picked up. I missed two cards in my first playthrough not because that I missed it but the game crashed or didn't save at the spot where I last picked up.

So if that happens to you and it does to everyone else, always check the last card spot.

Yeah, game crashes make this achievement a slog. Finished with 68/69. Time to shelve the game for a while. Tired of the clunky walking.

I missed a card during my playthrough and went looking for a guide to see if I could backtrack. Unfortunately I cannot, so I will be needing another playthrough. I did find another video guide however. This one has an excellent voiceover.
