How to unlock the Living Legend achievement in Vanquish - Definitive Guide

*Credit to punchaszeurface for their solution on Xbox 360*

If you do die, you can just hit start and exit to title screen before the animation finishes playing. This will also save you from losing weapon ranks upon death.

Or you could just play on easy mode if you want to do it legit.

Missable achievement

Alright, for this one, you will have to run through the full campaign without dying once! You can get this achievement on any difficulty. So, whether it be casual, normal or (god) hard, it doesn't matter. On casual difficulty, you almost seem invulnerable and it'll take quite a lot of bullets to bring you down. On hard difficulty, you will die a lot (at least, I did)!! Never, ever use "mission select" on your playthrough because it will make this achievement not unlock!

Now, several people have found this little trick (also shown in the video below): when Sam dies, you'll be brought back to the "mission failed menu" where you can choose to get back to the last "checkpoint", "restart" the whole mission, or go back to the "title screen". Choose "Title screen", and from there choose "Game" then "Continue". It is similar to the "Checkpoint" on the previous screen, except for these two major differences:

  1. Title screen & Continue = registers zero deaths / Checkpoint = registers one death
  2. Title screen & Continue = weapons are set to previous settings / Checkpoint = weapons remain upgraded

Tip: You might want to backup your saved game onto a memory unit or USB stick once in a while, so that you can return to an older saved game. If somehow you mess up by accidentally choosing "checkpoint" and you do not have a backed up saved game, you can press again, then select "restart". This will reset your deaths to zero but only on that mission (and not the entire Act!), and your weapons will have the same upgrades and ammo as when you started the mission the 1st time (thanks Solty).

Due to a bug, or maybe the stupidity of the developers, you can get the trophy even by dying. If you give up during the mission, don't worry. When the game prompts you to try again or exit to the menu, exit to the menu. Then just click Continue in the menu and you will start from the last checkpoint, but your death will be canceled. The easiest way to complete the game is on easy.

Attention, the method has not been tested, these are just rumors. But it’s worth a try, because the Americans have already received a trophy using this method.

If you go through all the missions by selecting them in the mission menu, then they don’t give you a trophy... You need to start with a new game!....!......!

Even in the easiest mode, situations may arise in which you die (cut scenes with keystrokes, for example), but as we wrote above, everything is fixable! If you die, just click restart the level again (Attention, no checkpoint!). Thus, death is not saved in statistics, and you have a chance to replay the unfortunate moment.

You can die, but if you die, you need to either exit to the main menu and load the game through the continuation, then you will start from the last checkpoint, or in the menu select start the mission from the beginning. In this case, deaths will also be reset, the only option in which deaths will not be reset is to select the option to start from the last control point.

If you accidentally chose it instead of exiting to the menu, don’t be upset, you don’t need to replay the game from scratch, just as soon as you realize that you chose the wrong option, click reload mission in the menu. The main thing is to do this before completing the current mission - showing the results and you will still receive this trophy at the end.
