How to unlock the Ruination achievement in Wasteland Remastered - Definitive Guide

There is no aiming involved whatsoever - you just have to select all 6 different options when firing the Howitzer.

The Howitzer is located in Needles, within the Downtown area. Downtown actually consists of two areas, a western area with a Hot Dog shop, and an eastern area with the three legged hooker. The Howitzer is in the western area - in the NE corner.

While standing on it use a Howitzer Shell 6 times, each time selecting a different area to fire to via the menu. After hitting them all it should unlock.

The hard part may be finding the Howitzer Shells. I'm aware of three spots;

1) The Ammo Bunker in Needles has a shelf in the NE corner that contains Howitzer shells. A random amount from 1-3 may appear. Make a quicksave beforehand and reload until you get 3 to be safe.

2) At the end of the Temple of Blood dungeon you'll have to cross a Lake of Blood and kill some snipers on a central island. This island has a door that you need to blow up with TNT and a whole slew of enemies inside. These enemies (only the inside ones) have a random chance of dropping Howitzer Shells. I would recommend not picking up any loot until they are all dead. At this point create a quick save and see how many you can find. You only need a total of 6 for the achievement, my clear net me with 12 in addition to the ones from the Ammo Bunker.

3) In Darwin there is a shop that sells Howitzer Shells, I believe they only have 2.

Just thought I'd add that I got 7 of them in a loot drop from an enemy in the Western Sewers. Unfortunately I can't recall the specific enemy. But I can confirm that this is another location the shells can be acquired.

This is great info! I was lucky enough to get three from the bunker, and I've just arrived at the temple so hopefully this won't be an issue for my run.

Save before using the Howitzer. Your characters can mess up handling the shells and blow up the Howitzer before you've hit all six targets, rendering this achievement missable, I think.

Equip shells before using the howitzer or else your characters might mess up, like mine did.

There are a total of six locations to destroy for this achievement, and each will show up as a menu selection when you "use" a howitzer shell on the space directly behind the old howitzer in the western section of downtown Needles (in the empty lot on the north side of the street). You'll want to save prior to using the shells as you can fail and destroy it on accident. Howitzer shells can be found in the following locations:

  • Needles Ammo Dump - save prior to interacting with the set of shelves all the way to the right. You can get a max of three shells here, and you can reload to try again if you get less than that.
  • Darwin Black Market - a max of two can be purchased from here.
  • Temple of Blood - save prior to killing all the enemies inside the room surrounded by the lake of blood. Each of them have a chance to drop the shells, but you can get VERY unlucky and get none. Reload if you don't get enough.

Once you have six at once, use them one by one on the howitzer and choose all six options to unlock the achievement. If the howitzer fails, reload your save and try again until all six are used successfully.
