How to unlock the Drunken Master achievement in The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 - Definitive Guide
As Nate, you're drunk and conversing with a pirate king. After choosing the correct conversation choices (equivalent to "I'm leaving") or exhausting all conversation options, you are stopped from exiting the palace by the bounty hunter. You start a fist fight.
Scene shifts to first person and the controls are TERRIBLE. I was trying to move the sticks, pull triggers, do anything to move the fist symbol on the screen to move to the "bam", "wham", and hit-sound-cloud things. Nothing doing ... the fist just wouldn't move until quite a bit into the mini-game. When the fist could move, the sound-cloud things started moving, too.
Anyhow, quickly move your "fist" (not the first person hands you can see ... the little fist icon floating on the screen) over the cloud and hit the A button. When you do another cloud will appear. Hit all five and you'll get the achievement.
After completing the dialogue with the Pirate King and attempting to leave you are required to take part in a drunken mini game. The game consists of you controlling a small white fist symbol which you must then line up with a large Whack symbol which rotates around the screen. The fist symbol moves very slow while the large word moves very fast so it will take a few seconds to line the two up. As soon as the fist symbol turns purple then the two are lined up and you need to immediately hit the A button.
You need to repeat this process 5 times. You will notice that not only will each word change but they will become increasingly smaller and faster. There are two issues you need to be wary of:
1: If for any reason you take too long and fail to hit one of the words then you will fail the achievement, if that happens you MUST reload before the fight scene concludes. If you do not then you will need to replay chapter 1 to get another chance.
2: The start of game is bugged and people report they often have no control until around 30 seconds into the game, however there is a way to beat this issue. If after a couple of seconds you have no control, then pause the game, then immediately unpause and you will have full control.
Chapter 2: This trophy is very missable in that it is part of an automatic conversation at the beginning of the chapter. You will get no second chance to unlock the trophy as you must fulfill all requirements the first time.
Make a backup save before having Wilbur leave the school in Chapter 1 just to be sure.
As part of the story, Nate will engage in a Drunken Punch minigame. There are 4 floating symbols that you must punch to earn this trophy. If you fail, immediately press and re-load the game to try again. If the load has you in the wrong spot then use the backup save that you made.
Since you are controlling a drunken Nate the controls are horrible and it is very easy to miss this trophy.
Chapter 2: This is an easily missable achievement at the very beginning of the chapter. Nate will start a Drunken Punch minigame with the gnome bounty hunter. There will be four floating symbols that you will need to "punch" in order to unlock this achievement. Unfortunately the controls are quite terrible, and the symbols will try to flee your cursor. Your best bet is to mash the A button while you move the cursor in the general direction of the symbol. If you fail to hit the symbol after a few seconds, it will disappear. If this happens, IMMEDIATELY pause the game and reload your last save. This may take a few tries, which means you will have to skip through quite a bit of dialogue, but it shouldn’t prove too difficult.
