How to unlock the No more tears achievement in This War of Mine: The Little Ones - Definitive Guide

This achievement is earned from bringing a child back from the mood state of "Broken" back to the mood state of "Normal".

Broken is the lowest mood state a character can achieve, below is the descending order of mood states characters can go:

Normal
Sad
Depressed
Broken

Getting a child to broken mood state isnt fun at all. You may have to purposely treat the child badly to get them there. For example dont let them sleep in a bed, dont comfort them, keep them hungry etc ...

Its terrible, I know. Not cool at all.

A more natural way of getting them to this state is to let them react to something that happens around them (and it will) as the days go by. Children get sad and depressed quite easily in this game. So when they are at the depressed level, do not comfort them for a few turns and they should reach the broken stage.

Once the child (or any other character for that matter) reaches broken state, act on cheering them up immediately. This includes talking to another character, making sure they are fed, making sure the house is warm if its during winter, doing good deeds for strangers and that they have a bed to sleep in at night. The child can also play with toys around the house, yet may not want to until they have gone from "Broken" to "Depressed" and from there its pretty easy to get them back to a normal state again, and after this the achievement will pop.

Should also mention that the mood of your child affects the other people in the house in a big way. So if your child is in a negative mood for a long period of time, your other characters will start to have negative mood consequences as well!

Good luck guys.

This achievement sucks ...

It unlocked for me when I got the kid back to 'sad'. Also, I could barely get the kid depressed. Even with no food, no bed, no talk, no toys. What finally got the kid broken was that I killed his adult that he had a bond with. Boom, kid was broken. Couple talks, some toys, and a good meal and back to sad all in the same day.

tried to do this 2-3 times now. It should be warned that the Iskra child is super bugged and will glitch out adult characters. So make sure you use one of the other two children if you're killing a parent to get the child upset.

This achievement is similar to "Back from the brink" but needs to be on a child that is broken. First, you are going to need to get your child to a broken state. Like with an adult, a child's mental state is negatively impacted by someone in the house dying, the scavenger killing someone who wasn't bad, being wounded in a raid, stealing, refusing to help a neighbor, being neglected by the adults or working too much.

To make a child broken, your best bet is to have their guardian die. You will need to have at least one more adult in the house to help the child, but you can send the child's guardian out to scavenge in a dangerous situation, such as attacking the soldiers at the military base. When the next day starts, you'll have some horrible moments from the child, but you can start talking to the child to try and rebuild their mental state. It will take a few days to get them to the point that you can unlock this achievement, but they will recover if you spend the time talking to them as you would with an adult, and let them play with their toys instead of making them work. Ideally you will have 2 other adults in the house so that you can get things done, but it isn't required. And have fun with the decisions cut scene after the ceasefire.
