How to unlock the Fate Worse Than Death achievement in The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope - Definitive Guide
So I got this achievement by doing this:
So basically early on, John, Andrew, and Angela find a shack. John gets scared and runs off, while Andrew has a heartbeat QTE. You need to pass this and then look under the floor in the bedroom for a box that has a gun inside. Angela will then try to say to get rid of it but you must keep it. I didn't use the gun at any point during the game and still unlocked this achievement. I don't think it matters if you use the gun or not during the game.
I then got everyone killed except Mary and Andrew and it unlocked for me after that. To save Mary, you need to accuse the priest at the end, not her. At least that's how I got that achievement too for saving Mary. I then also got the save Andrew achievement too.
To get people killed, for me I didn't press any of the prompts and just left it when they were fighting the demons. I got Taylor killed early on. Daniel at the factory, Angela at the house and John at the house towards the end.
Hopefully this helps someone! There might be other ways to get this achievement but this was how I got it
I can safely say YOU CAN STILL HAVE BULLETS left in your gun and still prevent Andrew from killing himself
In this Theatrical Cut playthrough, I did the following:
Picked up the gun in "Off Track" and did not choose to show the gun to Angela
Used 2 Bullets fighting Daniel and Taylor's demons in "Low Point" (the only time I used the gun during this run)
Deliberatly picked the following options to get characters killed in the finale:
In "Reflections" pick Fearful as Taylor when fighting her Demon
In "Ruined" pick Reckless as Daniel when being pulled up by Andrew
In "Heavy Burden" pick Resentful as Angela when deciding to hurry John along
In "Heavy Burden" pick Fearful as John when holding the door
In "Full Circle" I chose to instead burn the poppet
This caused all characters but Andrew to die in the house by the hands of their demons. Andrew proceeded to attempt to shoot himself with his gun but Mary appeared behind him and stopped him from shooting.
The achievement popped after watching the House of Ashes teaser.
NOTE: this playthrough was adapted from my "Salvation" playthrough, meaning I chose many options that I believed would lead to characters surviving the finale. It appears the above choices HEAVILY influence characters surviving or dying, combined with saving/accusing Mary in the finale or burning the poppet. Since I was able to get everyone killed by only choosing the above and burning the poppet. Accusing Mary would lead to the above and allow Andrew to kill himself (no matter how many bullets you had left, according to my testing)
John doesn't die when i pick that, from what I gather John can only die at that part if Daniel or Angela or Taylor are still alive
I just spent 2 hours picking different stuff trying to get this.
Edit- looks like u gotta get John's bad trait for him to die at that part
Also maybe u can get this by getting Andrew suicide ending but have the police show up for being mean to vince
EDIT: Imanaged to get this achievement by killing everyone in the house, and saving Mary by accusing Carver. When the achievement unlocked, the details were "Andrew was saved from himself." Once everyone died, Andrew was sitting on the balcony of the ruined house, and Vince came up to talk with him. I was friendly toward Vince the entire playthrough, so he was cool and left me alone. Not sure if being a dick has him still bring cops or not. After he left, Andrew pulled the gun out and put it to his head, only for Mary to stop him. The achievement popped up after the House of Ashes trailer. The gun also had 2 bullets left.
Early on, John, Andrew, and Angela find a shack with something in it. John gets scared and runs off, while Andrew has a heartbeat QTE. Pass this and look under the floor in the bedroom for a lockbox with a gun. Angela will try to convince Andrew to get rid of it, KEEP IT.
Throughout the game, Andrew will have a couple of situations where he can use the gun: Running into the church and shooting at Vince, shooting one of the demons while saving Daniel and Taylor, shooting Angela when she reunites with the group, and, if Daniel is still alive, you have two chances to shoot at his demon once he falls through the floor in the warehouse. The gun only has 4 bullets, so if you're trying to get everyone killed at the house, make sure to save one.
This should unlock as part of your Heart playthrough, depending on the choices you make. The following needs to happen for this trophy to unlock:
1. When you interact with Vince at the church, things need to end on good terms with him. If you can avoid it, don't shoot your gun, and then either let him into the church, or convince him to go get help.
2. At the ruined house, when you go back in time, don't blame Mary for what's been happening to the town.
Everyone else needs to be dead, either by their own monsters prior to reaching the house, or in the house. This is accomplished by choosing the more selfish options whenever characters are trapped by their own monsters (as in, the opposite choice of whatever unlocks each character's "saved" trophies).
for Andrew to survive:
- burn the doll or blame the priest
If Mary was accused, then Andrew's death can be avoided if:
- to be arrested, for this Andrew must have a gun, he must shoot Vince in front of the church and talk rudely to him so that he calls the police.
- the gun must run out of bullets
-Andrew didn't take a gun with him
