Well I did it the regular way, and after an hour of running through the game claustrophobe didn't unlock. So I tried this. Still didn't unlock. So damn sick of glitchy XB1 achievements.

P.S. did anybody try this method for the camera batteries on insane mode? Seems like you could beat Insane mode and then do the "no reloading batteries" part for this last chapter on INSANE difficulty.

LOL, I just saw this solution. And I'm about 75% thru on my "normal" run and have not once ducked under a bed or into a locker. Had I known I could've just cheesed it, I would've hidden those places many times by now LOL. Oh well. Thanks for the guide. +1 from me.

do you have to complete the game first in order to chapter select? I would assume so but would just like to know just in case

Still works 2/14/17. I doubt the developers will fix this as the glitch in the collectibles achievement is still present. Glad to have this done but sucks to have to replay the entire game again when you already did all the collectibles.

So you have a big guy who seems obsessed with you and pigs smashing down doors trying to kill you and a lockers you can hide in, in the same room... What do you do? Well for this achievement you have no other choice but to run straight at the big guy and hope he doesn't kill you.

That's right for this achievement you are not allowed to enter any lockers or hide under anybeds which is really easy if you have an understanding of the game and the way the enemy's move but if you want to try get this out of the way quickly and on your first playthrough then what your going to want to do is play a game of cat and mouse with some of inmates. Due to the fact you can't hide in/under these 2 objects that doesn't mean that you can't use dark rooms, corners, doors, vents, ect. To escape your pursuers. Using doors is a BIG help in cases like Trager & Chris (Scary Fat Man) as they have to bash it down which gives you about 5 seconds breathing time so if you devise a plan and run them around and keep them locked behind a door or multiple doors, it may give you a much needed boost to find a way to get you to the next objective.

Also 2 quick notes you should know:
- 1st, collectables are worthless picking up in this run as you need to hide in a locker for a note on Chris and under a bed for Trager.
- 2nd, you must NOT hide in the locker once Chris starts smashing down the door after the priest turns off the power, so if you stay to the back and then try run around him then down to the stairs by the elevator and through the crack you can avoid him and will only have been hit once when he sees you.

If you down voted please leve a reason to why as it helps me improve my guides, thankyou and goodluck!

This achievement isn't very hard, i did it on normal on my first playthrough, it's problably better to do it on normal because sometimes you will have nowhere to hide and you will have to run past the psychos.

Another thing you need to keep an eye for is to not press X ( Or the button to interact) i.e. trying to get a battery and go under a bed.

Are you allowed to hide in the locker in chapter 1 (security room) when the game tells you to do so? Afaik you need to hide there for a video recording as well. Is it possible to get both the Pulitzer achievement and Claustrophobe in one playthrough?

no, you can't, here's what i did, stand to the right of the door, then wait the guy enter the room them just go for it, he might hit you but if you are playing on normal you shouldn't die, then just run downstairs. As for the Pulitzer achievement i don't know, i haven't tried it yet.

One really easy way to get this achievement is to perform the clip glitch to skip from the very beginning to the beginning of underground lab. The video I used to learn the trick is linked, just get over his voice and it is actually extremely easy.


EDIT: In the video he does not make it very clear, but to get into the correct position for the clip so you do not just fall down, you want to rub up against the bit of glass until you are pushed into the air. Then look down and move to the left until your full left hand is in line with the scaffolding, that is an easy indicator taht you can now move forwards and along the edge.

This achievement is fairly easy considering that you get 2 hits from an enemy before you die and getting hit disables the enemy's hitbox for a split second allowing you to get out of sticky situations. Essentially, just try to run the "gauntlet" that Outlast is without entering a locker or hiding under a bed. The best way to do this is to consistently sprint and never pick up batteries unless you aren't mid-chase and you can aim for the battery. The issue with this is battery consumption which is fairly easy to master if you've played the game for a bit and know what to do and where to go. Practice is another thing I can suggest, whether you're trying to go for a speedrun record or the achievement you will complete it if you practice going fast and not using the camera, locker or hiding under beds.

Seeing as hiding under beds and in lockers are your main tools for survival, this is a difficult achievement. To make this achievement easier, it’s a good idea to leave this for a later playthrough once you have learned the path you need to take and where dangers lie. Although you can’t hide under a bed or in a locker, you can still use elements of the environment to your advantage. Closing a door behind you will give you a couple of seconds breathing room, as will sticking to the shadows where possible. Be very careful to avoid accidentally hiding under a bed or in a locker as this will void the achievement and quitting to the menu doesn’t work. Just to be on the safe side, avoid moving close to a bed or locker and also avoid picking up batteries under beds as this may void the achievement also. This achievement will involve some element of trial and error to escape several enemies so it is recommended you attempt this on an easy difficulty and make use of manual saves.

*NOTE* It is also worth noting that this achievement cannot be unlocked on the same playthrough as "PULITZER" as one of the recordings is only available when hiding in a locker during the early stages of the game.

There is an alternate method making this achievement much easier to obtain. Once you have completed the game go to chapter select. Simply choose the last chapter and play through it without hiding and the achievement will unlock. This is easy to do as the last chapter mostly requires you to run and is reasonably short.
