So just to confirm....I'm on my first palythrough and I have missed some collectables, I'm near the end of Act 5.....can I complete the game and then collect the few I'm missing from the level select....and will this be OK to get the achievement? Or do I have to go back and get them all before I finish Act 5? Thx

Most new games these days don't reset everything, especially when there is no other save slots! But it wasn't a problem at all the collectibles and chronon sources are so easy to find and I wanted to play through the whole story again, just about to finish it so all good :)

So I can't say why it happens, but I was stuck at 96% with all collectibles, and what fixed it for me was replaying the final part on easy. After defeating Paul in the battle, but before activating the countermeasure, the achievement unlocked for me. I have absolutely no idea what I missed, but a lot of people on other forums have had this solution work.

I played through on Normal collecting as much as possible, initially.
Is worth noting that I chose the Hardline choice in Junction 1,



After the credits, I simply used the Timeline feature on the pause menu to replay the sections I was still missing items in.

I preferred the text guide on polygon:

https://www.polygon.com/quantum-break-guide/2016/11/8/135620...

Was hovering at 99% for 'Time Master' at this point.
After I got everything except that last ripple, I simply went to Junction 1 and chose the PR choice.

Loaded 4-2, accessed the ripple (popped Tossing Stones in a Pond), and changed the Junction 1 choice back to Hardline.

Time Master immediately popped after switching back.

Thanks for this, no site had an explanation until now! I stupidly hit new game thinking I would still have my collectible progress, I just wanted to play the story again from the start and pick the different junction options. New game resets everything and you can't go back so as I was only missing one chronon source before I restarted I needed to know did I need to collect everything again or just the chronon sources. I thought maybe this Time Master achievement could be getting all the achievements or having played all the different junction choices. So appreciate you confirming that this is for 100% completion in every level! Cheers :)

Ran into a bug in Act 4 pt 1, missing Chronon source. That one bug is going to prevent two cheevos angry.

My achievement progress is stuck at 90%. The last few achievements I got popped silently... my sidebar achievment window says 100% complete. When I go to my profile it says 90%... this happen to anybody else in this game?

I earned this achievement today. This is to offer some advice for an efficient strategy to reach full completion of Quantum Break.

1. Begin the game on hard and systematically collect every item and every chronon source as you go along. Check your timeline often to see if you passed something and re-load checkpoints if needed to go back and find them.

2. Do not change any junction decisions until you have earned every collection achievement.

3. You can go back and replay timelines on easy to get anything you missed once you finish the last Act.

The collections change if you change your decisions at the junctions. This means you may not maintain 100% collection in timeline during a replay. Not a problem if you have earned every collection achievement before you make a different choice during a junction replay. This means you leave the optional junction choice achievements until LAST, which is what I chose to do here. Also may not be a problem if you reload a checkpoint to get another junction choice BEFORE moving on to a next Act/chapter. But if you want to read the alternate choice intel, etc. then make alternate junction choices after you have completed all the collection achievements. This way you can re-play anytime and read the alternate choices material and experience the choice differences in-game.

BOSS FIGHT: I went into the boss fight under powered and after a couple months off the game. It was frustrating until I learned to watch for the red/orange ball shaped bombs and get proper distance away and know what cover was needed where and when. Learned to use the spawning boss bombs to kill enemies. (The bombs spawn about every 10-12 seconds). Had to relearn proper power management and get the attack timing right to avoid death by bombs spawning on me. Needed some lucky enemy placement spawns. Also multi-group attacks helped. Needed to run and strategically use cover while planning out my paths of travel and enemy avoidance vs. engagement. Since I got all collectibles in last Act before boss battle, and since I played in hard mode, I did not have to replay it once I beat him!

A great game and now I am set to replay and read the alternate junction choice material without the stress of achievements not unlocking.

For those of you that are stuck at 96% can try what I did when mine was stuck. First make sure every mission is complete 100% and then load up the last mission. Can be played on easy to breeze through. After beating the boss and
, I didn't skip any cutscenes. I even let the credits play through. You may not need to play the credits but I did just in case. After the credits are over, a new cutscene will start.
After this cutscene finishes. The achievement should pop. That's where mine did. Hope this helps those of you that are stuck with 96%. Good luck.

That did it for me.

Apparently I didn’t watch all of the credits and cutscene after credits. All I did was boot it up and replayed the last section where you help William perform countermeasure. Then I sat controlled down and watched until the achievement poppped. Right when it was done with the cutscene after credits.


Thanks for this man. I was starting to replay the game for a 3rd time

Glad to hear it worked. I played through it twice and got stuck both times. I'm not sure why I thought about trying this but I'm glad it's helping.

I just add a solution adding some info for those still going for this game achievement.

1) You need to have ALL collectibles (Quantum Ripples, Intel, Chronon, Documents, Computer and Media) You can see that in the menu. Follow this guy playlist with all location (and by time in the timeline : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuGZAFj5iqHcuxKo2sML1...

2) If you change Junction (for unlocking other achievement for example), some collectibles (the one that change depending on the choice you made) will be reset. So you will have to find them again in their modified version. BUT if you change the junction back to the Timeline where you already find the collectible, it will still be collected. So you can change junction, but be sure to come back to the one you collected everything.

3) If you are stuck at 96%, you MUST play again the last level, and at the moment you unfreeze Will (after killing Serene) the achievement will unlock

This achievement isn't quit what it sounds like. It requires you to complete the game and find all of the collectibles, but it does not require you to make every single junction choice (i.e., you do not have to go replay each junction to unlock this and make a different choice).

In getting this achievement, you'll also unlock
Quantum BreakMedia BaronThe Media Baron achievement in Quantum Break worth 19 pointsFind all e-mails, presentations, TV shows, radios and posters.

In order to get this achievement you will have to have a 100% timeline. That means you will need to have collected all of the collectibles in the game before you complete it. The achievements that you will need to make sure you have by the end of the game are “Media Baron”, “Knowledge is power”, “Tossing stones in a pond”, “Maximum effort” and “Your exceptional qualities are obvious”. This achievement will be obtained at the end of Act 5 Part 3 when you get the story related achievements.

Note: It goes without saying but resist not skipping the cut-scenes before the story achievement unlocks. If you do, you'll miss out on it and you'll have to play the level all over again. So avoid pressing .

100% is precisely taking all the subjects and studying all the documents. You do not need to obtain game achievements to achieve this. The achievement concerns only the collective elements of the game.
I'll add a video with a guide to collecting everything .
