How to unlock the Unfinished story achievement in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - Definitive Guide

Once you've completed the story go to the Main Menu > Continue to reach the final area and a fast travel map. From here travel to Traps and Skulls and walk to the area where the rock is placed during Depression. Turn left from the rubble and travel up the hill until you reach a hillside clearing and you'll find a pine cone in front of a stone rock.

Take the pine cone which turns into a grenade. Turn back and make your way down the hill going left to rejoin the track which you need to follow to reach the stone bridge. Look for the third alcove on the right of the bridge and walk up to the railing to trigger the option to throw the grenade. Once the words turn yellow you can throw it and watch the explosion.

Continue on to the end of the bridge and provided you completed all story related achievements before tackling this there should be a portal in front of you. Go through it and use the fast travel again to reach the Ancient God area. Exit the mines through the bubbling water and head towards the dam control building. Go through the building and out the other side and you'll find steps to your right that you can climb up onto the beach whereupon you'll find a dead scuba diver and the sniper rifle for the achievement.

It's worth mentioning that you can do this before finishing all the story achievements but it'll be a longer run back to the rock.

Wow. How can anybody discover this without a guide? The pine cone/grenade is so well hidden and then when you don't know where to throw it, it doesn't give you a hint until you are very close by. And then the scuba diver? Forget about it. First I didn't even see him.

That is one crazy achievement, which, in my opinion, due to its difficulty still too many people have unlocked. shock Does everybody use a guide for this? laugh Thanks anyway for this great description.

You can only get the sniper rifle after you find ethan, travel back to the first area and follow the train tracks acoss the bridge until you find a rock slide that blocks your progress ,go left until you reach a viewpoint look for a rock with a conifer cone which will become a grenade after you interact with it,take it to the dam bridge and look for a viewpoint to throw the grenade, make sure it hits the water and makes a sound , get back down to the generator house you used to lower the water level, and go outside the other door look for a dead diver with a sniper rifle take it and you'll get the trophy

Here is a short video of how to get the "unfinished story" trophy... Credit to Tigra Watanabe for the video toast

NOTE- You only can obtain this trophy after you have found Ethan.



The first area in the video is "Traps n Skulls" simply follow the train tracks across the bridge until you get to some rocks that block your path, now head left until you reach the rock with a pine cone on...
@1.40 the area is "House of portals"
@2.04 the area is "Ancient god"

Hope this helps toast

Find the handgrenade at the start of the area, where you chase the astronaut, like i did. You can use the video above for the exact location.
When you come to the bridge crossing the wide river, throw the grenade into the water at the last outcrop on the bridge in the right side, it'll explode but nothing else happens.

Keep following the story until you reach the generator house.

After entering walk towards the other end and out the door, climbing over the first wall with the inset stairs to find a diver lying at the waters edge, a sniper rifle beside him.

Take the sniper rifle an POP, you got your trophy!

NO need to find Ethan first or backtrack the whole way toward picking up the grenade!

How do i know?

Two trophys locked, "Acceptance" and "What happens then?" and already got the "Unfinished Story" trophy. Check the timestamp, cause i will have the other two by the time you will read this.

Don't know, if they changed the trophy unlock for this one, but you do NOT need to find Ethan to earn this trophy! And you most certainly do NOT need to run ALL the way back to the beginning to find the handgrenade!
