How to unlock the Hello Darkness My Old Friend achievement in The Surge 2 - Definitive Guide

You can obtain this achievement and the other ending achievement -- "Reborn" -- in one playthrough by simply using the revert save feature, no need to go offline. Below is the step-by step process:

1) Defeat the final boss and choose to either kill or spare him to earn one of the ending achievements. The achievement should pop as soon as the ending cutscene begins, after some dialogue with Athena.
2) After you have obtained the first ending achievement, quit out of the game and reload it.
3) From the main menu, choose continue game then hit Y to revert your save to the last medbay visit. It will ask you to confirm, select yes.
4) Defeat the final boss again and then choose the OPPOSITE of what you did in step 1 to earn the other ending achievement.

To save time and not need to go in New Game + to get the 2 successes « Hello darkness my old friend » and « Reborn », in your first part.

I advise you to make a save before the final fight (in the game menu put your game offline)
and turn off the game to produce a synchronization on the cloud. Go fight the boss, after have achieved your success «  reborn » or «  hello my darkness », (do not leave the game not to save) follow the following steps:

- XBOX button
- Manage the game
- Recorded data
- Delete the game data from the console (do not delete the ones from the cloud) and check that the data is deleted
- Restart the game

So you'll reappear in the last station before the final boss's fight, all you have to do is beat again the boss and make the other choice you have need. In one part, you will have these 2 successes and in New Game +, you will only have to finish your last achievement. :)

You say make a save before the final boss fight, I don't know when or where that is. I need details. You need to write these as is someone doesnt know what you're talking about. Because I found it very confusing.

the station is just before the boss area . if you meet the boss and you have no save let you die to reappear at the last station. i still do not understand your problem because the backup you do it when you want. i will necessarily save for reappear closer to the boss. but if you prefer you can always play 2 parts

Yeah this could be worded better. Or its just because I have never done one of them this way.

So its like this if I understand right.

1. Save before final boss.
2. Exit to menu and switch game to offline.
3. Close the game?
4. Defeat boss get achievement.
5. Delete save from console not cloud.
6. Go back online and do other outcome?

Only thing I am unsure of is when you put the game in offline mode? AFTER game is closed out? Or before? Does it matter?

Worked like a charm. Really enjoyed the game but didn't want to have to do a NG+ run or start over.

Do you have to take the game offline or even the console?

Após você pegar a conquista vc pode quita do jogo que vai inicia um ng+, e so você reverte o salve vai aparecer antes de matar o eli, só matar de novo e escolher o lado negro.

why is a bad guide? it is written below that after the manipulation you reappear at the last station (you have always a checkpoint when entering the station) its just before the final boss cutscene.

When you beat the endboss, Archangel Eli. You can choose to forgive him or to Kill him!

When you kill him you get the "Hello Darkness My Old Friend" achievement.

If you plan to only do one full playthrough, make sure you go offline prior to the final boss fight. There is a choice to be made after the fight, and each side of the choice will reward one ending and corresponding achievement. The game will immediately end with no option to reload prior to the boss (loading your save from the menu will instead begin NG+), so by playing offline you can finish the game, then delete your local save (NOT the cloud save) and once you reconnect to Live, you will download the cloud save from prior to the final boss allowing you to then get the second ending. Refer to Step 3 in the Road Map for more information.

Obviously if you missed any achievements in the first two steps of the Road Map above, you'll need a second playthrough anyway, so don't worry about the offline trick. Regardless of doing one or two playthroughs, make sure you remember what your first choice was to make the opposite the second time to get both endings.
