How to unlock the Hedging My Bets achievement in The Talos Principle - Definitive Guide

To get this one, don't go up the tower until you've gotten all 49 red sigils. Obviously, if you go up early, this will void the achievement. I hope you see this before you try.

Went to the 1st floor as soon as I saw the tower... Might restart the game so I get this.

Just restart now. There's a lot more later.

What if you restart from an earlier checkpoint will they still void the achievement?

I don't think so. I can't say for sure, but apparently doing the same for using hints works. (If you use the thing to get a hint and that achievement, then reload the save, the achievements seems to pop for having not used any hints.)

I don't know. I didn't risk it.

So I went up the first floor before getting all the sigils, I quit to menu and restored from back up to before I went up the tower. a few days later I got all red 49 sigils and was still able to get this achievement.

It actually seems okay to be slightly more naughty than suggested. I visited the great tower during my very first trip up the elevator 'Into The Unknown' from world A, entering at level 0 and taking the elevator up to the 1st floor. I didn't unlock the tower level 1 gate at this time; surely couldn't have done so without more red sigils anyway.

This excursion popped the 'Off The Radar' achievement and I continued the game afterwards without restarting from an earlier checkpoint, as I didn't even learn about the danger of voiding 'Hedging My Bets' until hours later, so I was resigned to not achieving it. However, it nevertheless still popped when I collected the 49th red sigil, at the same time as the 'Solipsist' achievement!

*MISSABLE*

This achievement requires that you not enter The Tower until you've collecting all green, yellow, and red sigils first. The Tower is directly in front of you when you exit World A. Simply don't go near it until you've collected all of the sigils. This achievement will unlock as soon as you collect the last sigil, providing you haven't entered The Tower.

Complete all red sigil puzzles without visiting The Tower. You should end with 49. Going up the tower and activating the Tetromino puzzle consumes your red sigils invalidating the trophy.
