How to unlock the Social Lubricant achievement in Watch Dogs - Definitive Guide

Tips:

  • After every level, you'll be forced to quit and the words "Come back later" will appear above your opponents name. Instead of leaving and coming back at another time, simply stay there next to the table and wait for 30 seconds. This is how long it takes for both of you to sober up and the prompt to start the next level will appear.
  • Unless your brain can work backwards, you will most likely need 2 people for level 10 of the The Loop drinking game.
  • It's best to attempt the drinking games in The Loop and The Wards before you head up to the one in Pawnee as this one is a combination of both, so it's best to have some practice beforehand.

This could be the trickiest achievement in the game and one of the longest. There are 3 drinking locations - Pawnee, The Loop and The Ward - and all are shown by a blue bottle icon. All 3 have 10 levels you must participate in and each level has around 5/6 rounds. Each level gets a little harder than the last as does each individual round. Your challenge is to reach and complete level 10 of all 3.

The main point of the games is to not pass out after taking a shot of alcohol. As the screen blackens, you'll be tasked with a little challenge to keep yourself from passing out and surviving will move you onto the next round. The difference is, each drinking game has a different type of mini-game/puzzle but are kind of similar. The one in[*] for example tasks you with placing an analog stick within a circle until the bar fills up and then you have to press the corresponding trigger to pass - right analog>right bumper / left analog>left bumper. Sounds easy but with the alcohol taking effect, you'll have to fight against the moving stick on-screen to force it into the circle for the period of time. The game later throws in moving circles, then a second analog stick.

With that in mind, head to each location and beat all 10 levels to unlock the achievement. You can view how many you have left if you bring up your Smartphone, select the 'Statistics' App and then press to access the 'Progression' menu.

This is the most difficult trophy in the game. There are a few bars that you can enter and participate in a Drinking mini game. Go to each of these three locations, but make sure to leave Pawnee for last.

You will need to successfully complete level 10 against all 3 opponents. The opponent in The Wards will require you to complete a QTE type event. You will need to use your as a cursor and move over the button and press the matching button. Sometimes the button prompts will move, change button or even require you to hit a series of buttons while your cursor remains hovered over it. The final one will appear difficult in the video below, but the first 9 levels will sufficiently prepare you for it.

The Loop opponent requires you to use both analog sticks and move the cursors into the squares for a moment of time and then hit either the or buttons. Just like the first opponent, you'll get this down.

The Pawnee opponent is the Extreme Drinking Game Challenge. Save this for last. It's frustrating. This will alternate between both methods provided by the first two opponents and amp up the difficulty considerably. You will need to be much quicker. This, more than anything, will require some practice. You will fail and when you fail you will humorously wake up drunk elsewhere in the neighborhood. There's nothing new about the QTE button game other than being more difficult, but there is a new twist on the blue and yellow analog stick game. If you see an orange circle which means the R or L stick is reversed so up is down, left is right, etc. Also, when both sticks are involved, sometimes it's a mystery as to which one is which.

Some tips for you:

For the button push games

  1. Pay attention to the countdown timers. Some count down slower than others, like the ones that require multiple inputs on the same one (the ones with the dots above them)
  2. If you hit one with a chain, it will create one or more additional buttons prompts. The countdown timer on the additional ones starts right away so if you hit another chained one the ones that appeared first should be done first.
  3. Finding a pattern that works is much better than just randomly flying around.
  4. Anticipate the locations of moving ones. If they are moving in a circle, approach it from the opposite direction.
  5. If your circle is covering two of them, you can hit both buttons at the same time.
  6. For the ones that change buttons every couple seconds, try to memorize which ones they switch between.
  7. The detection radius is a little forgiving and you don't need to completely cover them with your circle.


For the Yellow/Blue circle games

  1. When you have a moving target that bounces off a wall, you don't have to move the stick but just a hair to keep it centered. The game will automatically turn direction for you on your stick circle.
  2. When you have both a yellow and blue on opposite sides of the screen, focus on just the one and slowly move the other one around blindly until you get it.
  3. When you need both in the same circle, attempt to get both of them in the same spot and then move them together into the circles.
  4. If all else fails, get a second person and you each control just one Analog stick. Also flipping the controller when they come up backwards may help or changing the x and y axis in the controller setup menu. Adjusting the sensitivity of the controller analag sticks could help. Without proper practice, these adjustments won't make it any easier.
