How to unlock the Workshop combat master achievement in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Definitive Guide

I was unsuccessful in using the other methods. I found a method that worked for me and hopefully some others that may be struggling.

First, in order to unlock this challenge map, you will need to choose to save Kessler toward the end of Chapter 6.

As for the challenge map, you will need to play on "I Am Death Incarnate" difficulty (at a minimum) and achieve a score of 17,200 points.

This method is not effective 100% of the time. The AI needs to come at you in a sequence that will give some combos. You don't need a lot of them, but some are mandatory. As you see in the video, run left and harvest some supplies and get your guns sorted. Take your time. The AI will not mess with you, and it takes a few for the stairwell to clear out. As you can see I arrived a little early. Once you get past that part, it is really easy. It just takes some luck to get the AI right, and headshots/explosions only. I was able to reach gold about 1/3 of the time this way.

Gilbert Prime comment:
I recommend at the start (the 6-second mark in the video) instead of immediately heading around the edge of the room, pop into the center and throw a knife at the civilian shambler's head for an extra 700 (300 Shambler+200 Thrown Knife+200 Head Shot) because you will need every point you can get on this challenge.

Fantastic solution, I was getting very frustrated with other approaches but this one worked a treat for me. It is a bit luck based with how the enemies come at you, as noted, but if you get a couple of groups lined up you'll definitely get the achievement.

2nd try. They were coming one soldier at a time at first, so I moved down the stairs to get ammo and a few came at once for a great combo. Ended up leaving with 18,000 without needing to finish off the final shotty guy. Deffo get the shambler at the start for an easy bonus.

Translation of Dark Spirit 461 question...
How to unlock the mission I have it blocked it tells me that the more I play I can play it but I already have the other challenges in gold and the campaign is finished

@Dark Spirit 461
You will need to replay Chapter 6 and choose to head toward Kessler (not Annette).

I'll add it to the solution

UPDATE: I'm removing the Uber "tip" as it seems most people aren't having any luck with it. I did all of these on I Am Death Incarnate difficulty and you probably should too.

This is a video of the Workshop Challenge Map in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.

To obtain Gold, you must be playing on "I Am Death Incarnate" or "Uber" difficulty. The gold medal is rewarded at 17200. For higher scores go for headshots (600 points) and try to keep your combo active as you receive an extra 200 points for each kill in the combo.

If you are wondering how to unlock this Challenge, you need to save either Kessler or Annette in Chapter 6. One path leads to unlocking the Bathhouse map, and the other unlocks Workshop.


Here is another solution from Game Boys of Colour if you're struggling.

It's most likely due to who you saved: Annette or Kessler. Replay Chapter 6 and save the other person.

I have now spend almost 2h trying this shit, does playing on UBER give you more points or something?

By l iReaper on 09 May 2015 23:37
Playing on Uber raises the score limit. For example: Gold on I Am Death Incarnate is 17200 but Uber Gold is more like 25,000 (guess). So if you're playing on Uber, you have more room for error to get the regular gold. But of course you have the extra difficulty to deal with also.

By Mr BlackMagik on 09 May 2015 23:40
I don't think you're right about the UBER gold. It doesn't actually raise the gold score at all. It remains at 17200. It just adds a Platinum number to hit...18800, Therefore, one should always play on Death Incarnate...

What I'm saying is, good luck getting 18,800 playing on Death Incarnate. People are having a hard time getting to 17,200 so obviously there is some type of boost that allows you to get to 18,800 on Uber otherwise it would be damn near impossible (which it isn't). So if you play on Uber, it SHOULD be easier to get regular Gold since there will be more room for error.

It's not. The only thing that would influence that would be Higher combo points or more enemies. Neither happen.

Well if that is indeed true then ok. I said that it "may" help. Personally I did everything on Death Incarnate and all my videos are also on that difficulty. I know at least one person who had better success on Uber so I figured I would throw it in the guide.

I found that the key to getting this map done is getting a good combo at the start, if you don't manage to string 5-6 kills together it may be worth restarting, also make sure the Nazi zombies don't kill the soldiers, or vice versa, I found this by far the hardest map to get gold on, but this is a pretty solid guide, so +1 from me.

Uber does not boost scores, it just unlocks the ability to get the Uber gold medal. Which is meant to be harder than regular gold. Also, thanks for the guides.

I DON'T FUCKING GET IT. I've watched all of your videos and you never get spammed by grenades. You're able to hole up in one spot for a minute with no push back. It's driving me up a wall.

Lol sorry man. A few of these videos, this one especially, took me a lot of tries. So don't worry, I just recorded the time I got gold. They were tough for me too.

Oofda, this one is by far the hardest one. Either I attempt for a nice chain early on and usually end up dying or if I make it through the first part am just short of the 17200. Both videos up here show very lucky runs.

A way better solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1BNOO6xrfA
Made it in the 2nd attempt doing it like in this guide. Just an additional note: Before turning right to the first heavy soldier, go in the little room to the left and grab some extra AR ammu and armor.

Getting a combo right away by going straight ahead and up the stairs on the right and back towards the beginning is key. Within 30 sec you should have 3-5k or start over. Pick up assault rifle ammo along this path and then jump the railing or hit the stairs on your right and run to the start and camp behind the car. You should have 1 shot in the Kampfpistole. Use this on the Heavy. With luck you will get a multi kill and a nice combo. Sometimes enemies get hung up on the stairs railing, perfect place to try group a few together. This is what worked for me scoring 18100.

It took a few tries for me but I got it. When you spawn, their are two cars behind you so I camped their after killing 2 zombies, head shot the first nazi which turned, head shot the zombie and killed another nazi next to him, got a combo of 600 off the bat. It's important to head shot everyone and kill the nazis that turn asap to build the conbo.

This was probably the hardest one I've done so far, and I was only able to beat gold by a couple hundred.

I just took out whatever I could see at the start, then retreated back and to the left behind a car. I never got grenaded for some reason and I was able to just camp here and have Nazis bring ammo to me when each one ran right up to me and stood there for a moment.

Always keep your aim trained on the regular soldiers because they will always turn into zombies when you kill them, so it's a free 500 points each time (200 combo, 300 shambler kill.)

Similar to the video from "Game Boys of Colour", I found that if you run all the way up the staircase to the door to the exit, that it's a good choke point for soldiers to run up to you. For some reason soldiers will tend to get caught up in groups a few levels down, so you'll usually only face 1 or 2 at a time.

Before you run all the way up to the top, at the foot of that staircase will be a Heavy Soldier attacking some Shamblers (if you time it right, the Heavy Soldier will be past the doorway already attacking the Shamblers. If you're too early, the Heavy Soldier will be there to greet you with his shotgun). Kill them all quickly with the semi-auto shotgun for ~1200 points to start off your attempt.

This combined with killing Shamblers and then using the sniper rifle to pick off enemies in the distance toward the end (you'll have to come down at least one level from the top for this), means you'll probably get gold very quickly. In my experience I got it on the 3rd attempt using this method, and I didn't rack up large combos, just the occasional +200 point combo here and there.

This method really helped. I found it worked best to clear the troops and zombies that start on the first floor, then circle around the edge of the room clockwise which draws the shotgun guys into the room. Then sprint along the back wall and up the stairs. In between soldiers coming up to you, you can snipe headshots on troops down below who usually stand still and make for easy shots. Took me about 4 attempts, but then I scored 19000 using this method. Thumbs up!

Another Solution for Challenge 8: Workshop: Gold Challenge
Better you play in Über Difficulty!

For me it was the most difficult. Tried MR BLACKMAGIK's solution but I always died.redface. I got 17,6k points so I share how I did it on "I Am Death Incarnate".

I stayed where you respawn. First try to kill 3-4 soldiers when the challenge starts and hide in the corner. Enemies will come to you, use your rocket pistol when 3-4 enemies nearby to you, than sniper rifle the rest. 4-5th tries and worked for me

Ps: Use your shotgun when heavy armor soldier approach you. Hope I can help with my solution, goodluck.wink

This chellenge is a bit tricky but if you know how it will easily pop!.
From the start go straight to the pillar in front of you slightly to the left . Place yourself against the pillar looking to the stairs to the right. Take out the couple of soldiers that appear.
Now run up the steps and to the right , kneel down behind the car and look straight down the corridor. Shoot away ! keep the combo running. It is very easy to re load from here as well. Hope this helps. smile

I was able to get it using a combination of MrBlackMagik's and xxvadi's guides. Props to both of y'all. I ran up the left steps like MrBlackMagik did. I sniped the 4 zombies. I grabbed the assault rifle ammo, then ran back to the car at the start, like xxvadi did. I stayed behind that car and poked my head out to get head shots and combos. I used the explosive flare gun on a group AFTER I turned them to zombies, and full clipped the shotgun on 3 that ran up past the car. One of the shotty guys always stayed in the middle. He was my last guy. Took several tries, but I got 17900, 700 more than you need. Good lucktoast

Unlock requirement: This challenge is missable, and relates towards a decision that you make in Chapter 6 - Ruins. When you exit the water area late in the level, climb the wall and then turn right. This will take you to the workshop and towards Kessler (see Kessler saved for more details). Once you've finished killing the enemies in the workshop, the challenge will unlock. If successful, an on screen notification will appear.

Gold medal requirement: 17,200

For a video walkthrough, as well tips on how to play the challenge levels, please refer to Graveyard combat master.

This challenge map will unlock after passing through the workshop on your way to Kessler during Chapter 6, Ruins.

You can do it like in the first video, but it’s better to sit under the stairs, not on it, shooting between the steps. Enemies will run out to your sight. It’s also sometimes worth sticking your head out and crawling back in so that the enemy’s ardor does not cool towards you.

I didn’t manage to sit under the stairs, I couldn’t find a position, and it was dark, I couldn’t see the sight. I sat on the stairs, as in the video, hiding behind the left support and looking out. I used a sniper with optics to shoot the tanks of two heavy soldiers, and a machine gun in one hand (it is better to shoot through the sight).
IMPORTANT: I ​​advise you to shoot two zombies at the beginning of the level (combo 200), which the enemy is fighting. Otherwise, you risk not getting points if the enemy sluggishly runs towards you (even shooting heads is not enough).
