How to unlock the Blitzkrieg achievement in Velvet Assassin - Definitive Guide

You can play through this game the normal way...

Or...

You can use cheat codes. Plug in a USB keyboard to the 360 and type them in during gameplay. Achievements are not disabled when using the following codes.

Complete Current Level - Hold Left SHIFT + L, then press END

Yep, that's right. Start a level, use the code, finish the level. Get the achievement for the level, and work your way through. Should take you about 15-20 minutes to complete the campaign.

I didn't come up with this... all credit to FR3SH JIV3 at www.xbox360achievements.org.

Awesome. I went through it once myself without codes, but Blitzkrieg was a bit much for me.

Thanks. Just finished it in my first playthrough and came to look for tips (not really wanting to go thru again, especially rushing to beat the clock.) This saved me. Thank you very much!

You should be able to plug it into where your controllers go. I've noticed that not all USB keyboards work, though.

It may just be your keyboard. That''s exactly how I did it.

Thumbs up from me. I'm guessing the 5 thumbs down are from people who deem this to be cheating.

I've found (later) that some keyboards work and some don't. I went through this on an alt and found that the keyboard didn't work, so I borrowed one from work. smile

Hope yours works!

What keyboard did you use, make/model/brand price?

Don't even remember. It was an older one. I know that not all models work... but I picked one up from Walmart, saw it didn't and took it back.

Are you guys sure it's because of the keyboard?
I was under the impression that the game must be in unpatched condition.

I don't think so. I did this a few months ago on an alt, and it was a case of plug in keyboard, type codes, done. I can't tell you why some boards work and others don't, and I have no idea which are which.

My best suggestion would be to go to Walmart or a similar store, find a USB board with a box you can open without destroying, and try it out, then return the board.

The method DOES work, but I can't tell you a specific board to use. The one I have is like over 10 years old. Maybe 15.

Just wanted to let everyone know the USB keyboard trick still works. I read some keyboards work and other don't. I have an older USB HP keyboard that has Internet and cd/dvd/mp3 controls on top. The p/n is 5185-2027. Rev 1.7D

I hope this helps for people looking into an easy way to complete this game after finishing all of the other achievements.

Worked for me with a Gear Head keyboard I bought just for this method. Thanks!

Ok so the best thing to do is skip a lot of enemies you do not need to kill.. use your pistol and morphine a lot to speed up some of the levels. also every time you die/mess up you can go to quit to menu and resume campaign and the timer reset's if you dont do that the timer will keep going hents making your level completion time longer.

You should also add that as long as you complete each level in less than 25 minutes you will come in under 5 hours.

Any idea if pausing the game stops the timer?

Pausing the game DOES NOT pause the timer.

Most level can be done in around 10 - 20 minutes depending on how good you are at stealth games. Picking up collectables will slow you down so if you want to unlock this with ease just aim for getting though each level as fast as you can sneaking past as many guards as you can and avoid loading back to previous checkpoints as the counter doesn't stop when you load back.

Avoiding as many guards as you can will help speed up your time limit but make good use of the barrels and environmental traps such as water pools and fuel puddles. Some parts are tricky so if you need to find make sure you are inside a building or around a corner as the guards will walk out in the open giving you a chance to kill them with ease.
