How to unlock the Explosives expert achievement in The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing - Definitive Guide

This steam guide here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=38288... has a nice map linked below with the bombs. You need to pick up the 5 with red fuses WITHOUT PICKING UP ANY GREEN ONES. The map is just a reference though, you can see the color of the fuses if you look hard enough.

I accidentally picked one up, I simply dashboarded and got all the red ones and it still counted. I'm not sure how often the game autosaves and in what situations it does, so this may not work if you wait long enough, or due to other circumstances. Best bet is checking the fuse color.

Achievement unlocks when you turn the quest into the quest giver in town.

Don't know if the bomb positions change or something. Followed this exactly and still got a green somehow. When I dashboarded and came back into the game, I went to a spot where there was only one bomb before, there is now two bombs about 10 feet apart from each other and I have no idea which one is supposed to be the correct one. Solid map, but there seems to be something more to this.

Yea, there was a lot more bombs that what you seemed to show and dash boarding out and restarting the game while it made the bombs that I triggered return, did not allow me to get the achievement. I would pause and dashboard as soon as I heard the first beep and restart the game but it still counted against me.

After I dashboarded the bombs still matched the map I linked. I'm not sure why it was different for you, but this port does seem to be incredibly glitchy. The map is more just for reference, you can just look at the color of the fuses in-game to make it easier.

Yea, after doing it again, I realized it didn't add any bombs. It is probably also worth mentioning that you can actually see the color of the wire if you look closely. Thanks again for the guide, it was a good reference.

I picked up a green by accident. Quitted to main menu, then resumed game.
The map were as last time, but bombs were resetted to 0/5. Enemies were also resetted.
Doesen't look like it saved, but it did save something. The map was same explored as last time.

I think this achievement is glitched too like the final boss achievement. When it shows 0/5 and i pick 5 red ones in a row, then complete quest. It should have popped.

I've heard many reports of glitched achievements. I can't get Ink Master to unlock myself. Unfulmigator is broken for everyone. Just gotta wait fo a patch I guess.

I only seem to see red or green after I pick up the bomb. Can people visually verify green or red fuse before getting a bomb?

I was able to. You have to look very closely, but it's there.

Achievement didn't pop for me after turning in the quest. I then checked the in-game achievements page, when pressing the "back" button and go to the achievement page with "RT" or "LT". It unlocked on that page (was in color), so I pressed the xbox button to get to home screen and as soon as I went to the achievement section, the achievement popped. Was stuck somehow....

This achievement is bugged for me, I have restarted the game 3 times already and correctly taken 5 red bombs and turned in the quest. The achievement is unlocked within the game ui but not for my Xbox live account. Idk what to do just felt like venting

EDIT: I was able to get the achievement by deleting my account data for the game off the cloud and starting entirely fresh.

This achievement is "missable" and the quests starts in Markovna by Dragan. In Gallowsbog in the red marked area on my map below are ten rusty bombs.

Five of them have a green fuse and five bombs have a red fuse. The bombs with the red fuses are the right bombs. Don't touch the bombs with the green fuse, otherwise the achievement is gone for this playthrough and you have to start a new playthrough or create a new hunter and play again to the quest.

After you have collect the five red fused bombs, go back to Dragan in Markovna and earn your achievement.

Hey all, just a quick video for unlocking the achievement Explosives expert in the game the incredible adventures of Van Helsing. Nothing really to add for any of the guides above, just a little more in depth video as to where they are. Hope it helps!

Speak with Dragan in Markovna to accept this quest, which requires the retrieval of five rusty bombs in Gallowsbog. You need to only collect the bombs with red fuses. If you grab one with a green fuse, you will void the achievement. Follow the video below or use this image to find all five, then return to Dragan to unlock the achievement.

We get the quest in Markovna from a merchant and when we come to the location where we need to collect 5 bombs, we only need bombs with RED WIRES, touch the one with GREEN and immediately start a new game.

The hint is not entirely correct. If you hook a bomb with a green cable and it starts ticking, log out of the game through the PSN menu; picking up the bomb will not count.
