** Update **
Players recommend MUTING the crying child to help yourself better focus.
*** Update ***
One player recommends: You have to do the first QTE sequence (the one on the farm) perfectly. For the other two, especially the last one, if you mess up, let Karl die. It lets you go back to the checkpoint before you started the sequence.
You can watch how to do it in the video.
All three final attempts must be done perfectly, though they can be done out of sequence. It only says the third time because this is literally the third time she has saved his life.
ALL THREE FINAL SEQUENCES. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ALL AT ONCE. You can do the third perfectly, then go back and do the first two, for example.
First off anyone playing on an HD 42" TV or higher like me probably isn't very easy because everything is faster and your eyes can't adjust to the screen. So what I suggest is to play on a smaller TV or Computer screen though you'll have to start over but just go through it play the level again and come back to this point you don't need to do the first two parts again perfectly, it saves it from before if you did it perfectly. This should make it slightly smaller you'll have to get use to the new screen for awhile.
If you don't have a smaller TV than just keep trying it on your normal TV. The snap feature worked best for this part but Xbox updated to no more snap.
Mute the sound. Make sure noise isn't affecting you. Close your door if you have to or go in a quite room. (Pause your game if needed to know whats next. Keep practicing the buttons for your memory to get use to the sequences.
If you miss or hit the button at the wrong time just mash buttons together that will kill/bleed out Karl so you don't have to redo the whole mission just the sequence again.
Sequence 1 - A X X Y....A X X Y....A X X Y....A X X Y+B
Sequence 2 - A A A A A A A....X X X X X X...A A A A A A
Sequence 3 - A X X...Y B B...A X X...Y B B...A X X...Y B B...A X X...Y B B...A A A A A A...X X X...A+X
Just be patience don't stress about this achievement if you have to come back later for it or get a good nights rest. I know it's a pain I play on expert guitar on Guitar Hero and it's not very easy but doing it more and more makes you better to where you can do it. Don't give up!
DON'T FORGET COMPLETING GAME ACHIEVEMENT POPS AT THE END OF THE CREDITS WATCH THEM!
Congratz to people that beat this, is one tough cookie.
Chapter Two: Crash site
Chapter Four: Saint Mihiel (right at the start)
If I have to listen to that kid cry one more time, I'm going to lose it.
Seriously, I will pay money to the person to get this for me.
You'll start at the beginning of the QTE sequence so you don't need to restart the whole section.
ALL CREDITS TO PoundHound
Just one note from myself, the game will remember if you perfected one of the sequences.
For example: S1 Perfect - S2 Not - S3 Perfect -> no achievement
You have to come back for S2, once you perfect this one, the achievement will unlock.
PoundHound:
"First off, I believe that the event covers the whole of mission: Chapter 4 - Saint Mihiel. and you cannot make a single mistake."
"Run down the hill, enter the farm and pull the injured dude out of the rubble, and..."
QTE sequence 1:
- A ,A, A, X. A, A, A, X.
- AX, AX, AX, BY, BY, BY.
- A, B , Y, X, A, B.
"Part one done and dusted. Your patient is dumped in a car and you head off to the hospital."
QTE sequence 2:
- A, A, A, B, Y. A, A, A, B, Y. AX.
- B, AX, B, AX, B, AX.
- Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y (Y x 6), B, B, B, B, B, B (B x 6). AX.
"Phew! Sequence 2 done. You now have to find a med pack. It's not difficult and although the game tries to panic you with images of your patient getting nearer and nearer to death, I've never failed to make it back to his bedside before it's too late. However, should you need to do the mission multiple times, the quickest way I found was to head out of the room immediately to the right. Cross a short grassy area and you're back in the hospital. Take the first door and then head all the way back to the left. You'll see a downward set of stairs. Go down to the cellar and get the med pack from the wonky cupboard. Head back the same way. It should take you less that a minute."
QTE sequence 3:
- A, B, X, A.
- A, X, X, Y. A, X, X, Y. A, X, X, Y. A, X, X, YB.
- A, A, A, A, A, A (A x 6). X, X, X, X, X, X (X times 6). A, A, A, A, A, A (A x 6 again).
- A, X, X, Y, B, B. A, X, X, Y, B, B. A, X, X, Y, B, B. A, X, X, Y, B, B.
"The tempo changes after the first two here, so watch out for that."
- A, A, A, A, A, A (A x 6). X, X, X. AX.
"It's a sedate end, but don't take it easy. I messed up the last line a few times. Very annoying."
AGAIN THIS IS NOT MY SOLUTION - ALL CREDITS TO PoundHound
Every healing sequence must be finished without a single mistake, however, if you will make a mistake, just let Karl die and the sequence will restart.
Save Karl for the third time without making any mistakes.
This achievement is obtainable in Chapter 4 - Mission 5 - Saint Mihiel.
There are 3 QTE's that involving healing Karl. All 3 must be completed without any errors in order to unlock the achievement. If you perfect the first 2 sequences and mess up on the 3rd - You can let Karl die and it will reload from the 3rd sequence. As long as the sequences themselves are done perfectly, you can re-attempt each one as much as you'd like.
Once all 3 are completed without making any mistakes, the achievement should trigger.
Once you know what buttons to press, try to focus on the top of the strip, you will notice a small triangle. As soon as that triangle crosses the ECG sign (or whatever it is called), press the button. Do not press the buttons before that.
Also, sitting near the TV helps especially if yours is big because sitting from a distance does not help in focusing on timing.
For most people, this may be a difficult trophy, but not an impossible one. At time of writing the walkthrough (long after the initial rush), ten percent of the people who have completed this level have also earnt this trophy. You could take that as high or low depending on how you look at it.
This trophy is the meat and bones of Chapter 4 Part 5: Saint Mihiel. If you haven’t made it that far you should stop reading.
In fact, if you haven’t completed the story yet, I would suggest you do that first before worrying about this trophy. If you mess up just keep going, try and keep him alive. Finish the fight. I’ll be waiting here with your trophy when you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and sweat for it.
Indeed, you can replay this part directly from chapter select so you will not really waste any time having to backtrack to it (like some of the Collectibles late into their Parts).
This achievement is unlocked during Chapter 4-5: Saint Mihiel
At the beginning of this chapter you will be in control of Anna at Emile’s farm. She will attempt to save Karl three times. First at the farm and then at the hospital. After this second attempt, you will have to retrieve a medical kit from the basement and you will attempt to save him for the third and final time. Despite what the achievement description states to unlock this you have to make it through all three of the healing QTE’s perfectly without making a mistake. If you do make a mistake on one of the attempts, let Karl bleed out and it will start you back at the beginning of the QTE.
This is during the Saint Mihiel mission in Chapter 4. You will attempt to save Karl the first time and then drive to a hospital where you will attempt to save him a second time. After being unsuccessful in your second attempt, you will need to get the medical box from the basement. Once you bring it back to him, you can save him for the third time. The sequence will start with a few quick time events before you start the standard heartbeat quicktime events we've done the whole game.
There will be three sets of quicktime events. The third one is without question the most difficult one. You will need to be quick and some memorization won’t hurt. Try to focus your attention on the button prompt and use your peripheral version to judge the timing of the button presses. If you make a mistake, just let Karl bleed out and you will restart the sequence from the first set of quick time events without being locked out of this trophy, however, if you fail one of the final quick time event buttons near the end and save Karl anyway and you'll have to restart the chapter. Thankfully you can reach this section in just a few minutes.
Here are the sequences:
First One
- - -- - - -- - - -- - - (+)
Second One

Third One
