Severed Leg

You'll unlock this when you finish the prologue - Day 5
(when you decide if you want to work for the mafia)
Ahab's Prosthesis


You'll unlock this at the end of Act 1 - Day 30
(when you wake up from the coma)
Whaleboat on the Water

You'll unlock this at the end of Act 2 - Day 105
(after you come back from the hospital following your overdose)
Sinking Pequod

You'll unlock this at the end of the game - Day 179
Harpooned Whale

You'll unlock this when you've collected 500,000 $. Theoretically missable, you can easily get this even before Act 3.

Tips (includes spoilers):
  • Don't spend your money on anything. If you want, you can buy music from the catalogue since its cheap and occasionally you can use some mafia services too if needed.
  • If you do your job well, you can ask for a raise every week and you'll get it.
  • Try to do as many favors as possible, especially the ones with big payout.
  • Keep the mayor happy too, do the favors for him as well if you can. However, if you handle the calls succesfully, you don't have to worry about the favors.
  • I don't recommend to respnd to any of the protests. It costs money to fabricate evidence.
  • When you have to choose sides in gang warfare, back the Sands. You'll get more money off of them.
  • Don't give any information regarding the serial killer to the feds, solve the case yourself.
  • Eliminate all the gangs, including the Sands. This will be the most important source of income.
  • Try to be as 'legal' as possible. This way the prosecutor won't hassle you and you don't have to hide your money at Atticus.
  • On day 101, when Clemetine Burrows asks for help against Atticus, defend her shop. She'll send you money everyday onwards, but the Atticus group'll bevome unavailable (so retrieve you money stored there beforehand).
  • If you do these, you'll end up over a million at the end of the game.
No God (missable)

If you do the first favor for the church on Day 92, you can buy some expensive and totally useless services from the bishop. Buy them all (you can only buy one of the funeral servces). After you bought the last one, the achievement should pop up. Afterwards I recommend to reload the game from the start of the day to avoid wasting any money.
No One Left Behind (missable)

You'll unlock this at the end of the game if you've dispatched a unit to ALL of the legitimate calls. You don't have to respond to false alarms, favors and protests.

Since 'No Irish' and 'No Big Guns' means you'll probably lose quite a few men and some cases as well, you should do these in pair in a separate playthrough from 'No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' and No One left Behind'.
No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (missable)

You'll unlock this at the end of the game if you haven't responded to any false alarms.
According to Neillin77777's post, the achievement description is incorrect. You'll have to respond to ALL the false alarms to get the achievement.
According to lindseyrtackett's comment below, the description is correct now, and you'll get the achievement unlocks at the end of the game if you avoided all fake calls.
According to lyricists comment below it's broken (again?), you have to answer to every fake call for the achievement to unlock.
This is getting rather confusing.

Since 'No Irish' and 'No Big Guns' means you'll probably lose quite a few men and some cases as well, you should do these in pair in a separate playthrough from 'No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' and No One left Behind'.
No Irish (missable)

You'll unlock this at the end of the game if you haven't used the Paddy Wagon.

Since 'No Irish' and 'No Big Guns' means you'll probably lose quite a few men and some cases as well, you should do these in pair in a separate playthrough from 'No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' and No One left Behind'.
No Big Guns (missable)

You'll unlock this at the end of the game if you haven't used the SWAT-team.

Since 'No Irish' and 'No Big Guns' means you'll probably lose quite a few men and some cases as well, you should do these in pair in a separate playthrough from 'No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' and No One left Behind'.

You can get "No Big Guns" and capture the dentist on your own:

Day 66: Do not respond to the red investigation, when the clue appears, keep it.
Deputy will tell you about the rat, send the rat to the day's two cop event then transfer both to the next shift & schedule an ambush.
Day 67 kill your rat.
Day 77 Send 10 detectives to all 5 red investigations at the same time. The first detective on scene will die and detectives will say swat required. *But* they're already dispatched so you're good.
Solve the dentist case.

As of October 22, No Bull---- is still bugged.
Before you start Day 178 you need to go into the Save file and change FalseAlarmsAnswered to 0. Then on Day 178 you must respond to all calls, including the false alarms. Then you will get the achievement.

If you miss a day because you were at the prosecuters office does that count against the "no one left behind" achievement because you missed that calls for that day?

For the no bullthing achievement, even if I set <FalseAlarmsAnswered> to 0, I had to answer and send men to the false calls of the last day. I tested with and without sending men, and only when I sent men to the call I had the achievement at the end of day 178.

Meh, terrible achievments

Thanks so much for the guide! I just got the last achievement and i can confirm these things:

1- It's possible to get all achievements in a single playthrough.
2- To get "No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" you have to answer every fake call.
3- I was able to catch the dentist without swat teams by using DKATyler's method below and got "No Big Guns" at the end of the game - no trouble.

I know i'm a little late but maybe this will help future readers lol

Setting all the values to zero in the Save.xml on the last day will grant you the achievements. There are multiple instances of these values but with a simple replace command, it will set it properly...
<LegitimateCallsUnaswered>0</LegitimateCallsUnaswered>
<FalseAlarmsAnswered>0</FalseAlarmsAnswered>
<NumSWATUsed>0</NumSWATUsed>
<NumPaddyWagonUsed>0</NumPaddyWagonUsed>

For the false alarms achievement, I found that I had to complete the opposite of what was stated: Had to answer ALL false calls before the achievement unlocked
ShadyCloud 11 Oct, 2019 @ 1:37pm 
No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t (missable) is just not going to any false alarms?
NikotynowyUaz 9 Mar, 2019 @ 4:47am 
floyddebarber Thanks. I will catch this psycho next time :)
