How to unlock the You'll Never Take Me Alive! achievement in Outer Wilds - Definitive Guide

Found by noahmay on Steam

This achievement appears to either be glitched, or purposefully can only be unlocked at this very specific spot:

"Enter the dream world at the Hidden Gorge so you enter at the Endless Canyon. Extinguish the lights in the house (either by entering through the painting or going through the house and over the invisible bridge).

Go into the house and follow the stairs down to the hand warp on the left. Use the warp and make your way around the pursuer near the bridge. Go left after the bridge and make your way to the torch statue. Light up the bridge, rotate to the left, and jump over the railing down into the water. Congratulations you have the achievement!"

This video is much simpler and works with the most recent patch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOmMYX7x4SA
1, Go to the Hidden Gorge with the artifact (through the hole on the side of the station)
2, Doze off and go through the painting with the four candles on the bottom
3, Extinguish the map on the right through the hole
4, Go left and walk through the invisible bridge (as on the video, you might have to focus and light up candles on the other side)
5, Jump through the side (I did it in a few tries, you can get here back quickly and everything stays the same if you miss)
6, Walk a bit into the room and focus/search for the monster
7, As soon as it notices you back off to the railing
8, If you see him coming from the railing, you can jump, no need to make it close

Got it on my second try. You just saved a bunch of people from hours of frustration.

Found a video which helped me. The Hoot Hoot man wasn't as close to me as in the video and it popped without a problem first try.

Is there a quicker to get to the Endless Canyon than through the hull breach each time? Can never figure out the gravity there, it's a massive pain.

I remember first exploring this place before I figured out the way to turn off the lights, opening the bridge, and for the sake of saving time jumping off that balcony and proceeding to "die" I have a feeling this achievement was designed to make fun of that mentality. Avoiding the Hoots with a sneaky jump, and instantly regretting it.

Got it on my second try, but it didn't unlock so was a gathering my fucus to go back in, but after entering the sim it popped up after all 😅

Frustrating. I keep walking around and can't find any owl guys. There seems to be one watching a slide reel and I can shine a light to disturb him, but he doesn't come out.

Figured out what I was missing. He doesn't do it in the video, but it says it in the text. Before you go left to get to the invisible bridge you should go straight and extinguish the building. I guess that makes the owl guy watching the slide reel come out.

+1 to HUN playmore‘s method. Took a bit for me to clip through the roof but once I did got it pretty easily. Can also confirm that you don’t need the pursuer to attempt to grab you when you make the jump, I did so the second I could see it from the railing and it popped just fine.

I think you're right that it can only be unlocked here, or perhaps under other specific situations (e.g. reaching the lodge and jumping into the water after the inhabitants spot you). You'd think from the hidden description that triggering any pursuer and jumping into water would count, but it does not seem to be the case.

I will also add that the "Hoot Hoot man" was not even chasing me when I jumped, and I still got it. At minimum, I assume you do have to activate one of those two guards to make the achievement happen.

Glitchy!

Time: Anytime
Special note: Glitchy but easier to unlock on Endless Canyon

To get this trophy, you must "escape" a stalker pursuing you by jumping to your "death", either inside the water or from a high height.

Unfortunately, this trophy seems to be a bit glitchy and sometimes will not unlock. The most-working area for this trophy, is in the endless canyon, in the area where you light the candles of the second bridge (the one inside the house). 

Switch off the lights inside the building by using the hidden door in the campfire and then go inside the building. Reach the area by using the "teleporting hand" and reach the second floor of the area. Go to the statue that will light the bridge and wait for the stalker to spot you and start pursuing you. 

Once he does, go to the balcony on the left side of the statue and throw yourself down.

if the trophy doesn't unlock, try it again.

Either some kind of bug, or something else, but the trophy fell out precisely after jumping from pursuit from the balcony, the moment at the end of the video guide (en), (under the transparent bridge).
