I had to load quite an early save to be certain that I hadn't yet used a hint. Wish they would have included a counter or indicator. cry

Great guide to finish the game as fast as possible. but i suggest you play your first run with hints etc.. to enjoy this game the most.

Is it okay if you accidently push the X button? Or do you have tu push the X button long enough for the HINT to show up to count as a breaking the achievement?

There are several great walkthroughs for the game and hence this achievement that are available throughout the internet, however none have acknowledged how to fix the bug of the achievement not popping following a playthrough utilizing no hints. I ran through the game just to get the Marooned Everyone, Human Cannonball, and Determined achievements, only to have the Determined achievement not pop. This seems to be a somewhat rare, yet not unheard of bug across the internet that has been left unresolved. Here is all I did:

I was able to get the achievement to unlock by loading my most recent save from the playthrough that I had not used hints on (hopefully it's not too far back for you) and just ran the last part again (it only took about 3 minutes). The achievement popped after this. So if you KNOW you did not use any hints, you do not have to start completely over, you should just be able to play the ending again and it should unlock. Could save you a good hour or two...

(Missable)

Simply never hold down to receive a hint during your progression through the game.

It is possible, if you truly need it, to make a save, use the hint button and reload the save to move forward. If you choose this method, please consider the requirements for the Maroon Everyone trophy in relation to the use of save slots throughout the game, especially during the last quarter of the game.

The better option is to use the Full 100% Walkthrough for this game that I have provided here: 100% Trophy Walkthrough

Hints are called up by pressing the 'square' key. Do not use hints during the game and the trophy will open after completing the fourth part.
