How to unlock the Stick it in My Veins achievement in The Evil Within 2 - Definitive Guide
TLDR.
I got this...
•New game plus (you get more gel and scrap and your upgrades from the first playthrough carry on through)
•During chapter three - just start mowing down bad guys, shouldn't take long into NG+
•If you really struggle for gel use the shooting range (unlocked after chapter three - you get even better gel and scrap rewards this time round)
- with your upgrades you should find this fairly easy
After you complete the story you can access new game plus which will make this easier as you get a lot more gel and upgrade components. You will not be getting this cheevo in one playthrough. New game plus has to be on the same difficulty that you completed the story - beets101 has said that lowering the difficulty on NG+ shouldn’t hamper your progress.
Playthrough one I was the biggest scavenger but still didn't max out gel or weapon upgrades.
Edit. LoL @ negative votes.
What even is the point?
(Thx TA community)
Edit. Thanks to Xx bRICKed xX for this vid suggesting all Red Gel/High Grade Weapon Parts locations:
Most games will allow you to lower the difficulty but not knock it up to make cheevos easier. I’ll modify
Shooting Range: When the timer begins, press the Y button to go into slo-mo and hold the Left Trigger the ENTIRE TIME. The entirety of the challenge will be in slow motion and you should blow past the required thresholds for each difficulty. Playing through every level up to very hard will net you huge amounts of green gel and weapon parts.
Chain Attack: When the timer begins, press the Y button to go into slo-mo and hold the Left Trigger the ENTIRE TIME. You won't be able to see the colours of the tiles but they all have the same symbol on them so match them up that way. The second you get at least twelve tiles of the same symbol vibrating, shoot them for points.
With slo-mo enabled, you have all the time in the world to carefully make matches. In fact, I was regularly over 60 seconds shortly after my first few tile matches. You want to score 100,000 points which will net you huge amounts of green gel and weapon parts.
In order to upgrade Sebastian’s abilities, you must enter Sebastian’s office through one of the mirrors in the game world. By chapter 3, a wheelchair will appear down the hallway to the left of the workbench in Sebastian's office. Sit in the wheelchair and you will be able to upgrade Sebastian’s abilities.
You’re going to have to farm a ton of green gel through killing enemies, and you’ll also have to find some red gel scattered throughout the game. Fortunately, green gel is far more plentiful in new game +. Once you’ve completely upgraded everything in the health, athleticism, recovery, stealth, and combat skill trees, exit out of the upgrade menu and a small scene with Nurse Tatiana will play out. Once this scene is over, the achievement will unlock.
Here is a list of the locations where red gel can be found in the game:
Chapter 3:
- Look around the west side of the map at the very end of one of the train cars.
- From the north safehouse on the map, follow the road east, then south, then east again. Enter a house and look in the garage for the “KCPD Request for Psychological Evaluation” collectible file. Pick up the file, then go back to the living room and interact with the television set. After the cutscene, the red gel spawns by the corpse next to the television.
Chapter 4
- At the end of the chapter before going up the ladder to fight the Guardian boss, there’s a little safehouse with a save point, a coffee maker, and a mirror. The red gel is right in front of the mirror.
Chapter 6
- This one is found in Hoffman’s safehouse, on a black couch.
Chapter 8
- Before the Stefano boss fight, look around the darkroom close to the mirror to find this red gel.
Chapter 11
- You’ll be chasing after Hoffman, but your progress is halted by a large door. You’ll need to find a Unity Cerebral Chip in order to continue beyond the door. From the large door, move right, then continue down the hall and enter Lab 1 on your left. Turn left and go through the double doors to find the red gel next to a body.
Chapter 13
- This is at the north east safehouse, right by the mirror.
Chapter 14
- Go past the area with one Harbinger and numerous Disciples. A gate will close behind you and you’ll move up a large winding staircase. Theodore will talk to you as you move up the stairs. At the top of the staircase you’ll see the red gel right in front of you on a small table.
Chapter 16
- This red gel is found at the last saferoom before the final boss. It’s right in front of the mirror.

Follow this Guide by Trophy Germany and you will be able to find all 9 Red gels: LINK
You will find other suggestions about collectables in the walkthrough for the Story-related trophies, because there are no-return points. As almost all the Red Gels are easy to spot, I will show the only red gels that need some care so you will have the situation under control every moment:
- Chapter 3 = Get the red gel in Chapter 3, before entering the warehouse.
- Chapter 8 = Get the red gel before starting the fight with the boss. It is located near the mirror before the battle
- Chapter 11 = Get the red gel before removing the chip from the head of the Mobius Guard
- Chapter 16 = Get the red gel in Sebastian’s Office, before reaching your house.
