Hi, do you know if I have to replay the chapters on the same difficulty I have finished the game? Because I have finished the game on Nightmare, and then collect all the missing documents on normal, but I haven't got the achievements. Thanks

You have to do "Load Chapter / Chapter Select", then select "Yes" when it asks you if you'd like to continue on your save. Then choose the game save that you used to complete the game and it will load the chapter with the same progress.

You can check your progress with the BACK button and scroll through the collectibles to see what you're missing in your current playthrough.

But you do need to get all your collectibles in 1 "save slot".

When I use the chapter select method, do I have to play through the entire game again after collecting the ones I missed or will this achievement unlock as soon as I collected my last missing piece via chapter select?

I have all notes in one save slot but tracker shows 89%. Have to collect them again on fresh save.

Did not look % after finishing game, only after collecting missed ones thru chapter select.

This is a really good guide, but I would like to add that while you do not have to get all the collectibles in the same play through, they have to be found on the same save slot. When I went back to find the collectibles I missed, I reloaded the chapters I needed, but was dumb and did a new save slot. So when I had all the collectibles according to the main menu the achievement didn't pop and I had to return again and collect what I missed.
