How to unlock the Item Management achievement in The Evil Within - Definitive Guide

This achievement is decently easy, but you will need to make sure to not use any weapons during this chapter, although you can use matches and heal syringes. At the beginning of the chapter you'll want to make your way through the small passageway into the room with the lever which spawns multiple enemies. Now make them follow you, and lure them into the beginning area. With all the enemies out of the 2nd area, quickly sprint back and open the gate. With that gate out of the way, the rest of the level is easy. Just make your way through the next couple sections in order to finish the level which is quite short to unlock the achievement at the end.

You should add that it's possible to kill the monsters with punches/kicks/matches and still be able to unlock the achievement. I managed to kill the seven and get some stuff from them.

Also, even using a weapon once you are in the asylum will prevent you from getting the achievement. I had to use my gun to get the last goddess statue in the asylum and once I finished the chapter the achievement did not unlock.

Just want to add that to make this even easier, you can use hand grenades, just got this on AKUMU by using the grenades to kite and kill the first group of enemies.

I went through the whole chapter and only used a freeze bolt at the start (to open the gate), I probably should have read this guide first, as I didn't get the achievement because of it. Luckily this is probably the quickest chapter in the game.

Wanted to further confirm you can use grenades. Also there is a bottle in the circle hospital room you can throw at the statue in the pipe.

Thanks again Maka!

It would be good to add that if you shoot that last statue, you invalidate the achievement.

Regarding the last statue of the chapter (the one stuffed into the pipe) — There’s a bottle in the on the floor, kind of in the middle of the room. I missed it at first and went down the corridor looking for one, but of course, once you leave the circular room, you can’t go back.

I let myself get killed and went back to the autosave after speaking with the doctor. There’s only that one bottle, but you can keep reloading if you miss your shot.

The objective of this Achievement is to make it through Chapter 8 without firing a single shot and it's fairly simple. At the start you're going to need to horde up the 4 enemies and lure them away from the gate so you can kick/punch it open. Once you've done that you'll find another 2 that you're going to need to lure with the other 4 out in the main area, you need them away from the gate so you can open it safely. Once that's done it's an easy Achievement. You'll come across enemies hitting you with a spike machine but sneak through and in the next area you'll have to stamp on some work type enemy.

Anyway, great guide smile

Forget about these videos saying that you should lure the enemies away and then run to open the gate.

I can confirm that you CAN kill them enemies. After all, we want the green gel, don't we? Besides, leaving enemies behind is frustrating, unless you're playing on 1 Hit 1 Kill Run For Your Life Highest Difficult mode.

Simply hit the enemies using cn_Y or then throw grenades at them. Both these methods don't count as firing a weapon.

About the "hidden" (in plain sight) statue that holds the key: same principle. Once you've lowered the gate all the way use the cn_Y button to crack it.

If this solution ends up helping you in any way, please leave a thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

Confirmed you can kill enemies by punching them or burn with matches and still get the achievement (I didn't use grenades). As for the statues holding keys, all but one can be punched; to crack the last one in the level grab the bottle nearby and throw it at the statue.

Can confirm that using grenades does NOT void this achievement. I was on New Game+ and had plenty of them to spare! This is awesome. +1.

You are not to use any weapons during the entire level in chapter 8 which overall isn't too bad once you get past the first section. You can heal and use matches. When you start you want to run to the back and destroy the wood blocking the passage. Then go through and lure two enemies slowly back to the previous area. Once they are there run back to the gate and turn the nob. The rest of the level consist of running past enemies.

This is not a "guide"... more like a heads up!!

You can NOT shoot the statue near the end of the level and still get the cheevo. If that is the case, then you can NOT obtain both cheevos on the same playthrough.

You can actually unlock the achievement in NG+ while using the Brass Knuckles. You can unlock these by completing the game on Nightmore or Akumu.

So if you run through this chapter on Casual you can kill every enemy with one hit, which is really useful in sections where you have to use a lever to open a pass. There is one lever you have to use while small enemies dropping down on you. On Casual none of them ever hit me, so I don't think you actually have to kill any of them.

Just make sure you don't fire a single round, but you can use matches or health items also (I never needed them). I finished the Chapter in less than 5 minutes that way.

To get this achievement you must complete chapter 8 without shooting not even once. The most difficult part is the beginning. We'll have to run and lure the enemies of the 2 following rooms to the 1st room. This way we'll have time to open the gate.

This is an easy achievement but misleading. What you need to do is complete the entire level without firing your gun, not just the cave portion. I will note that after the Cave part, you will be put into a hospital looking area and this will contain a statue with a key that requires a gun to get. You will not be able to use your gun to get this. Alternatively you can use a bottle that is on the floor in that room.

As for how to accomplish this. Plain and simple, run through the enemies. In the first bit what you need to do is run past the group in the first area, you can make it easier on yourself by luring them back to the starting position. In the next room will be a gate with two enemies. You will need to lure these two out of that room and take them to the starting position just like the group above. The reason I recommend luring the first group is that the passage is narrow to the 2nd room so if one or more follow you, you are stuck.

Once you lure them out and raise the gate. You will be able to run through the chapter until you reach the next room with a gate. Once you start opening the gate, little monsters will rain down on you. If you are lucky, you can lift the gate without any of those monsters attacking you. If not, just running over them will kill them. After that it is pretty much smooth sailing. You will be able to run by any enemies after that point.

In Chapter 8 you are not allowed to shoot any of your weapons. Run past the first enemies into the next room where you have to open the gate. Your goal is to lure these two enemies out into the starting area. Stay close to them and go back. As soon as all of them are in this room you can go and open the gate. They will only follow you for a short distance so this shouldn't be too hard.

After that you only have to complete the chapter. I think there were 1 or 2 more enemies that you encounter and you can dodge them easily.

This trophy is earned in Chapter 8: A Planted Seed Will Grow. In order to obtain this trophy, you must make it through the entire chapter without firing a single shot. This limits your offensive options to melee and matches and whatever grenades you may have. The hardest part of this chapter is the very beginning because you need to get through the gate in the small room with enemies that want to eat you. You'll need to get their attention and move slowly back to the starting room while being sure you still have their attention. Once all the enemies are in the starting area, or at least fairly far away from the gate you need to open, you can progress with the chapter. The rest of the chapter is fairly straight forward. The trophy will unlock on the chapter clear screen.

Refer to the video below for further assistance.

You need to complete the chapter without firing a single shot (You cannot use any weapon, be it a revolver or a crossbow)

In fact, it’s a fairly simple achievement, because there are 8 enemies at level (Not counting crawling children, but they don’t pose any particular danger, and they die from one kick)

Problems can only arise in the first two rooms. You need to lure enemies from the second room to the first so that they do not interfere with turning the lever.


Here's a video

, but in fact it’s not difficult to understand everything yourself. When you get to the hospital, consider the achievement yours, because you won’t have to shoot there anymore.

Just don't fire your guns in this chapter. It is not necessary to remain undetected. The achievement will unlock at the end of the chapter.

Keep in mind that there is a key in this chapter that cannot be picked up without shooting.

upd

You can take it by knocking it down with a bottle that is in this room.
