How to unlock the Full House achievement in The Evil Within - Definitive Guide

You are more than likely going to get this achievement just by playing normally but this should help those who don't use certain bolts. There are in total of 5 different types of bolt you need to kill with for the achievement. I think kills still count if you die and reload.

-Explosive Bolt: Very easy to kill with if you get a direct hit with it, you are more than likely going to get this just by playing normally.

-Harpoon Bolt: Possibly the hardest one as you have to get head shot with it for it to kill luckily it's very easy to come by. Best way to do this is to get to a check point just before a battle so you can pick them off. An example would be chapter 5 where you have to help Kidman out of the water tube with Joseph. There are tons of haunted and if you run out of bolts you can just reload checkpoint or craft some more as it only requires 2 parts to craft.

-Freeze Bolt: Again an easy one, after you freeze your enemies give the frozen haunted a good punch and it should shatter.

-Flash Bolt: For this one you need 5 bolts as you can only get 1 kill with each bolt. First shoot a lone haunted which will stun it for 4 seconds and then stealth kill(cn_RB+cn_A]) it while it is stunned. Edit: You can shoot it instead of stealth kill it as well.

-Shock Bolt: This one is the same as flash bolt except you have to burn them instead of stealth kill which also mean they can be grouped together for a group kill. When they are hit they will fall to the ground for a few seconds so you have to quickly burn them.
Edit: Apparently you have to shoot them after using shock bolt for some people so maybe try that if you still haven't gotten your achievement.

For those with the fighting chance pack there are also Incendiary and Poison Bolt
Edit: It appears that you don't need Incendiary and Poison but I'm just gonna leave it there for the sake of it.

-Incendiary Bolt: Works the same as explosive bolt except a guarantee kill on a normal haunted.

-Poison Bolt: Shoot one near a haunted and it should automatically get you the kill after the creature eat the poison.

Hope this helps.

Sorry but I believe burning the enemies with matches doesnt work for Shock Bolts. I did this multiple times but no achievement; instead, I got it unlocked by using a gun to shoot the enemies in the head while they fall onto their knees.

I think the dlc ones are required it you have then, so TheMrAction123 you're right. mine popped while using the poison one. I swear I killed with every blot over 10 times each so it maybe glitchy too, or maybe some of my kills just didn't count for some reason.

No you do not need the extra bolts the first five will work but you have to shoot the enemies after you shock them just like ImaginaryRuins said or at least that's how I unlocked it

Can confirm that you DO NOT need the Incendiary nor the Poison bolt for the achievement. Also, I never shot after using SHOCK.

I've done all the requirements but it hasn't popped.
I've burnt and shot with the Shock, I've stabbed and shot with the Flash, headshot with the Harpoon, Blown up a dude with the Explosive and I've shattered a bloke with the Frozen one.
Will keep trying as I am doing NG+

You MIGHT have to do this in 1 play-through. This achievement popped for me on new game + after killing 2 enemies with a flash bolt (sneak attack) and I know for fact that I killed more than 5 enemies with flash bolts on my first play-through, but did not do the other bolts. Xbone achievements have been glitchy though, so I may have actually got the achievement awhile ago and it just decided to pop now.

Achievement just popped for me after using an incendiary (fire) bolt from the fighting chance pack. Im not saying you need to get 5 with those, but if you are having issues have a go with them anyway. Still haven't got the 400 kills achievement and im into 4 figures now.

Also just thought I would mention it took me nearly 2000 kills to unlock the achievement for the 400 kills so not sure if I might need a lot more kills than 5 each to unlock this????

Hi! I confirm that if you have the "fighting chance pack" DLC, you MUST kill 5 enemies with poison and flame bolt. I get the achievement just after killing 4 enemies with a flame bolt smile

It seems you have to kill enemies with a gun when using Flash Bolt AND Electric Bolt. Stealh kill or burning did not work for me, at all. But when I tried a gun, it almost instantly unlocked.

I don't have the dlc bolts and had at least 10 kills with every bolt. I had never shot somebody after using a flash bolt though, so I stunned 5 enemies and then killed them all with the shotgun and it popped immediately. I also shot the people after shocking them. And I'm pretty sure that the dlc bolts don't count. You can't upgrade the them or the double barrel shotgun so I doubt they affect any of the achievements.

I was struggling to get this to pop. I found that reloading checkpoints seemed to reset any progress. If it's not unlocking then try and get 5 kills with each without dying or reloading. I started at the end of chapter 2, then it unlocked part way through chapter 3 on a Harpoon kill.

Here's a tip: Upon completion of the first playthrough you should have tons of bolts saved up, onto NG+ load up Ch. 2 and run through and past the gate section you'll hit a checkpoint, here is a wonderful spot where tons of haunted are chilling at the campfire, fully stack out you're bolts and give the more than likely one's a go first, after eliminating that bunch you'll get a couple waves of them come in groups of 3-4 from the left side (in the woods area), if the achievements doesn't pop just reload the checkpoint and work on a few different kill styles, when it does pop you can just reload and have every bolt part back.

This should definitely be marked as buggy. I had no issues whatsoever on the 360 version but this one took me almost 2 full playthroughs to get!

FYI I don't have the dlc bolts. I did everything suggested in this guide but still nothing. It finally unlocked after I flashed a guy then SHOT them. I did the same with the shock and freeze bolts, shot several instead of burning/punching.

I'm having major problems with this achievement it's the last one I need.ive done about 4 play through of this game and still nothing?when reloading the checkpoint do you let yourself die then it reloads in or do you get some kills then just reload and get more because it's not working for me??thanks

I'm sure you missed some kill just keep trying and you'll get it, also reloading checkpoint don't reset your kills so it doesn't matter.

Add me to the list for it finally unlocking after using the flash+shoot combo a few times. At this point, I think it's fair to say that flash+stealth kill does not count toward this achievement.

I believe the theory that this must be done in one playthrough since it isn't actively tracked. On my new game + all I had left officially was 5 stun bolt kills with bullets...it didn't unlock until I'd done them all again.

Didn't unlock this on my first play through, during NG+ towards the end of chapter 2 before the bridge, I flashed a large group of enemies and hit them with my rocket launcher. Unlocked straight away. I'm guessing as mentioned above, you have to kill the enemies with guns whilst they are flashed/shocked.

Clearly didn't get on my no upgrades file. But on my Akuma + Speed Run file, beating twice and still didn't have this.

I knew I hadn't done many freezer kills, as mostly used it to run away, so did Chap 2 run, did them 5 first. I was positive I had them done but I did 5 harpoon and 5 explosives just to double check.

I didn't understand as I shocked and burned, and flashed and knife'd countless people. So came here and saw comment about shooting them, so shocked mob at end of Chapter 2 then shotgunned them, and then flashed 5 people then shotgunned them in Chapter 3 and triggered

Just want to add a few tips.

If you upgraded the harpon bolt at the higher damage levels you can kill enemies with one hit even without head shots.

Also , a fully upgraded flash bolt will stun enemies for over ten seconds allowing you to kill 4 maybe even five enemies in one go.

Same thing with shock an upgraded version will allow you to kill at least 2 or 3 enemies.

Also you don't have to attack after using a freeze bolt, The enemies instantly shatter after a few seconds. That is why its ideal on ruvik clones as you can hit them with a freeze bolt from far away so you don't have to worry about their attacks.

Finally got this to pop

New Game+, Chapter 11

It popped after using a Flash Bolt on a group of enemies then shooting/killing them with my shotgun

So idk

Not sure is there's any real confirmation, but I'm almost thinking that you have to either shoot the enemies when using the Flash and Electric bolts, or you actually have to do both:

-Burn and shoot with the Electric
-Stealth kill and shoot with the Flash

Or it's just glitched/bugged

I can confirm what Mise64 said.
what I did was reload chapter 6 on a new games plus since this is the part where you have to fight all those enemies that keep spawning while Joseph is trying to deactivate the traps, which will give you enough time to try out different combinations on several enemies.

freeze bolt: bash them so that they burst

exploding bolt: simply hit them and watch them fly all over the place

harpoon bolt: single hit is enough, no headshot neccessary if fully upgraded

shock bolt: I shocked them and just to be sure I killed five with a match and five I shot while they were being electrocuted

flash bolt: same as with the shock bolt, five I stealth killed and five I shot while they were flashed

after a lot of trying it finally popped as my last achievement. heavily bugged, but still, it will popp eventually!
good luck and don't give up^^

PS: both my crossbow and all bolt were fully upgraded

just sharing my Experience.. i have the DLC Pack installed (the one that gives you the Poison / Fire Bolts) i did not check the comments here before unlocking this Achievement but i had a simular Issue on the 360 Version... i did way more kills with regular Crossbolt Bolts than required i also i NEVER shot Enemies affected by Shock / Light Bolts i always used Stealth Kills and Matches... so after doing at least 6-8 kills with every Bolt the only Bolt I never used was the Poison Bolt you start with... so i was near the End of the Game right before the Rocket Launcher Sadist shows up and i shot my Poison Arrow in a Group of 4-5 Enemies and that Unlocked the Achievement for me... i had a simular exerpience on the 360 Version.. the Achievement on the 360 Unlocked for me after using a Fire Bolt so DLC kills are required if the DLC is installed... btw i popped the Achivement on my "it is what it is" Playtrough so obviously i never upgraded my Crossbow.

This achievement is clearly very buggy. I had gotten to Chapter 15 and still hadn’t unlocked it, despite using all the bolts enough times. I figured it had something to with shock bolts needing you to shoot them, not burn them. Same with flash bolts, no burning or stealth kills.

So when I got to the last combat part, I went all out with each bolt, killing every enemy with a bolt of a different type (in the right way!). Keeping track of kills and bolts used. I spent way too long trying and it never unlocked.

I wanted to get it before completing the same, so when I got the opportunity to save next, I did and reluctantly went back to old chapters to encounter enemies again (and get more trap parts as I used most of mine to kill Laura). I knew it would probably mean my kills might reset, but I was planning to get 5 new kills of each bolt anyway.

I eventually settled on Chapter 10. Counted the kills out, ensuring I got 5 valid kills for each bolt. And of course, it didn’t pop even after getting more VALID kills on top of that. I ended on explosive bolts as I knew there was no way I hadn’t got 5 valid kills already at that point it the game, but got 5 more anyway.

Still didn’t pop. I had to play the whole chapter, defeat Laura and the underground boss again, get to the next chapter and go for more. Killed the waves of enemies in the crumbling city with more valid kills (I had used 65+ trap parts worth of bolts and was basically empty).

Got to the first Doppelgänger combat again and only managed to use one more freeze bolt early on (definitely had more than enough freeze bolt kills on this save). Continued killing the rest with regular ammo and once the Haunted died (to magnum ammo) and the cutscene was over, the achievement popped... Wasn’t a super quick fight either...

It made so sense why it popped there of all places, maybe it was delayed? Glad it’s done. Killing Laura was less stressful than this.

The cheevo just popped for me after I executed an undead after a shock bolt. I got all the other 4 different bolt kills (harpoon, explosive, flash, freeze) on playthrough #1 but did not get the shock kills until NG+ only because I did not upgrade anything during the first run. Once I started the second playthrough, I upgraded the shock duration for the bolt and I upgraded the handgun's damage. Once I did that, 5 shocks with executions later and the cheevo popped on queue.

Hopes this helps settle any confusion. I have had no issues with a cheevo popping when it is supposed to either in this game.

Side note about DLC bolts: the game may just take into effect 5 different bolts if you have access to the DLC bolts as well. If you have the DLC, it may be 5 kills with 5 of the 7 different bolts available. If you don't have the DLC, then obviously you must kill 5 by 5... Something to think about...

When using the shock bolts they will fall onto there knees, do not burn them instead just take out your pistol and pop there heads off.

To make this achievement easier and the game more fun it really helps to upgrade the Agony bolts. Your shock and flash bolts will stun groups of enemies for upto 15 seconds giving you plenty of time to pick them off. Also upgraded harpoon bolts are incredibly powerful and set enemies on fire. The real bad boys though are the frost and Explosive bolts , upgrading these will see one bolt will take out a group of 3/5 enemies.

Just get 5 kills for each of the following types of bolts:

-Explosive Bolt;
-Harpoon Bolt (easier to do if fully upgraded);
-Freeze Bolt;
-Flash Bolt (you NEED to shoot the enemy after he is stunned for it to count);
-Shock Bolt (you NEED to shoot the enemy after he is stunned for it to count);

This is a fairly simple achievement. As the description states you need to kill 5 enemies with each bolt. There are 5 different bolts and I will have a small description of how to get the kills. You would get this just by playing in theory but like I mentioned there is some bugs that will prevent you from getting this. It is easiest to do these with full Bolt upgrades.

Explosive Bolt - Easiest one in the game. Simply shoot a haunted with this bolt and it will blow them up. Try to stay out of range though or you will take damage. Might take more than one bolt if you do not upgrade the bolt.

Shock Bolt - This bolt doesn't actually kill anyone so what you need to do is execute them with your gun as you shock them. The upgrades come in handy here as it increases the shock time and range of the lightning making it easy to do multiple haunted at once. Some people have tried using matches on the shocked victims but it doesn't appear to count them.

Ice Bolt - This one is fairly simple as well. Shoot them with this bolt and you freeze the haunted it hits. Then simply smash them with your melee. The upgrade on this particular bolt causes the frozen enemy to crumble on it's own and increases the range of the blast.

Flash Bolt - This is the tricky one that likely prevents you from obtaining this achievement. Your first instinct with the Flash Bolt will be to sneak kill, DO NOT do this. It will not count your kills. You must gun the f**kers down. The Upgrades will increase the length of time the enemy is blinded.

Harpoon Bolt - This one is simple. It is a plain Bolt. Shoot it at the enemy and kill them. Upgrades increase damage and final upgrade adds fire which makes it an auto kill on all non mini boss\boss haunted.

*Glitched - Some players are having difficulty unlocking this trophy. The counters for killing an enemy will each type of bolt seem to be giving some people trouble. If you have the DLC "Fighting Chance Pack" then you may use these additional bolt types to count towards this trophy. If you do not have the DLC, then be sure you are killing each enemy with each type of bolt by the methods detailed below.
  • Explosive Bolt - This bolt operates like a proximity mind and will explode when an enemy goes near it.
  • Shock Bolt - This bolt damages and stuns enemies for upwards of 4 seconds depending on upgrades.
  • Freeze Bolt - Enemies within range are frozen and can either be melee killed or shot to death.
  • Flash Bolt - Enemies within range are blinded and remain in one place for a short duration. Enemies that are blinded can be killed by any means so long as the enemy is still affected by blind at the time of his death. I suggest avoiding stealth kills for this bolt however, because it appears as though the stealth kill counter is faulty for other trophies.
  • Harpoon Bolt - This bolt is your standard projectile. It fires like a heavy duty arrow and can stick smaller enemies to other objects.

(DLC) Fighting Chance Pack:
  • Incendiary Bolt - This bolt lights enemies on fire, doing damage over time.
  • Poison Bolt - This bolt infects enemies with damage over time.

A good place to do this is in the second burning room of chapter 6 because the group of enemies in this room actually respawn indefinitely.

There are a lot of enemies at the end of the second episode. There you can easily get it with a new game+. And then reload the save and restore the merged bolts
