How to unlock the Old School achievement in Syberia 2 - Definitive Guide

After reading some of the comments on Sashamorning's solution, I decided to try and find a better Syberia 2 guide, and I eventually settled on the following, with which I was able to 1k the game in less than 4 hours:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox/918867-syberia-ii/faqs/29669

It's a PC version guide, but I only found one instance that had information out of order for the Xbox version. That is: When you get to the part that you have to ask the Colonel for the warm clothes (061), instead get the shroud and use it on Hans (complete steps 066-069) first. Then proceed as normal.

Also, since you're surely trying to get all the achievements as well, remember to do the following missable tasks (I'm only listing those not mentioned in the text guide—be sure to do each one as early as possible so as to not miss it):

*In Romansburg's Monastery, speak to the monk next to the elevator.
*In Romansburg's Monastery, use the device by the elevator to create a regular candle.
*In Romansburg's Monastery, pick up the brush (next to the bucket) after the eavesdropping monk runs away.
*In Romansburg's Monastery, speak to the monk digging the grave.
*In Hans' dream, speak to Father Voralberg in the living room.
*In Siberia, go right, interact with the guard, and pick up the Youkai Medallion.

Everything else should be covered in the guide.

+1 from me. The gamefaqs guide will get you through within 6 hours. I can also confirm that the guide WILL NOT get you the 'Snoop' and 'Gossip' achievements if you follow it exactly. Make sure you do everything that Runch Optimus has stated above.

Also the guide does not prompt you to use the phone to get the 'Phone Game' achievement, although it does get you all the phone numbers required. The other missable achievement (Memory from Aralbad) is covered though.

If anyone is worried about doing this in under 6 hours, remember the following:
- RUN whenever you can (use either trigger button).
- The majority of dialogue, cut scenes and movies can be skipped with the A button.

You also have to talk twice about gas or else the painter won't finish putting up the poster you have to go through to enter the circus area.

Shiney Cheese posted this link to a walkthrough at the "other site." I think it's written by the same guy who wrote a great Syberia 1 walkthrough that I used. http://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63164...

Of note, time spent in the Pause menu does not count toward the six hours. I started the game, paused and got dinner, and came back. Still got the achievement.

There is a very good walkthrough posted here: http://www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcSs/syberiaii.htm

Some of the instructions do not exactly match (you may find that you have to do some small things out of order), but for the most part it works well.

Of note, the guide doesn't always point out the missable achievements. I'll put them in that guide too, but here they are as well:

There is no need for the other fish I collrcted the orange fish on its own and still got the item achievement. But i guess just to be safe you may as well pick up every fish.

I can also confirm you don't need the different fish and you don't have to collect the fishbones from the same area either.

But I have to say that guide you linked is terrible. It gets things out of order, some of the puzzle solutions are straight wrong (I had to find videos) and it misses out telling you to pick up some key items (e.g. the sheers). And whoever wrote the guide simply gives up when you get to the ice village and doesn't give any instructions on how to get around - and this is by far the most complicated area.

My suggestion is that people follow one of the guides at GameFAQs as they are much better.

One sitting, or can I quit after I see a save icon and come back to it later?

I didn't quit, but I paused when I left. I don't know if you can quit and come back or not. I was actually surprised the pause worked.

I agree with The Dauntless, if only gone through the first chapter of the guide and four things we're out of order already.

Just want to point out a pretty good video walkthrough I used that helped me to get my achievements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUwX_jWAiYs (This is part 1 of 8) It is on "difficult" difficulty, and he points out certain important stuff that you might miss for Snoop and Gossip achievements. I'm uncertain if he gets everything in his playthrough, so refer to solutions for Snoop and Gossip as well just to be sure.

@OneBgBdArtemis: If it's same as Syberia 1, you can quit and come back later.

Did it after coming back a few days later, just as a heads up.

Sangriaz's link for the win! should be it's own solution so we can vote it up, because the solution here isn't as good...

I would also recommend using this walkthrough instead of the other, it's well written as well as in order of what to do.
