Tails The Backbone Prelude Achievements Guide 100%
Welcome to our Tails The Backbone Prelude Achievements Guide 100%. This guide will show you instructions on how to get every achievement in the game.
General Achievements
Completing the game normally will give you (most) of these achievements, you don’t need to do anything in particular to get them.
ACT ONE
Finish act one
ACT TWO
Finish act two
ACT THREE
Finish act three
ACT FOUR
Finish act four (and the game)
Change
Start a new game after finishing the game once. After the credits, an option called “new game+” will show up on the main menu, which allows you to have another go.
I Major In Photography
Take many photos using the game screenshot function. After having started a NewGame+, press “F” to take a pic, use the scroll wheel to rewind the camera. You need 24 photos in total for the achievement, this includes any pictures taken by Howard during act 3.
Clarissa
Not The Time
Apologise to your dad. After the funeral, go to Clarissa’s dad and talk to him. When he inevitably gets mad and demands you apologise, do so and repeat after him.
I Beat You
Kill Carlo. During act four, you can either spare or kill Carlo, choose to kill him. For the achievement to trigger you have to choose an option that says [Kill him]. Beating him up can kill him but will not net the achievement.
Howard
Sexy Howard
Succeed at flirting with either Wisconsin, Freja, or Niles.
- Wisconsin likes earnest and nice dialogue options that aren’t overtly sexual.
- Freja enjoys quirky and funny options, but not sexual jokes.
- Niles wants you to disagree with him, but still be smart about it. Ask questions about his beliefs and don’t avoid his own.
More detailed guides can be found elsewhere on Steam and the internet.
Better Times
Take a photo of Larry during act 3. Don’t take more than 2 pictures of different people, since Howard only has 4 shots. After you take the picture of the clock, you can remark that you still have one left and decide to photograph Larry.
Renee
Investigative Reporting
During act one, successfully convince Lukas that something is wrong with the police report.
Important things to consider :
- The fire started before the second call, since the place wasn’t on fire when the police got there.
- The cops breached the door, citing hearing a distressed voice but the report notes that the lady wasn’t actually in distress.
- One cop claims the person threatened him with a sharp object, and the other claims that it was with a blunt object.
- Essentially, the testimonies don’t add up and hint towards a cover-up.
Lizard Mom
During the first and third acts, feed Renee’s iguana. You don’t need to do it during the second or fourth one, as that option will not be available anyway
Eli
State of Affairs
Successfully do all the experiments. I’m not sure you can fail this one since you can just keep trying but anyways. The best order for the experiments is :
- Experiment 1 : Temperature chamber (Freeze)
- Experiment 2 : Chemical chamber (Agitate), Temperature chamber (Heat), and Humidity chamber (Salt/solidify)
- Experiment 3 : Temperature chamber (Heat)
I Got Nothing To Hide
During act 3, choose not to alter the journal, and tell the truth about the artefact (don’t try to hide or destroy the research
Okay For Now
Don’t let either Eli or Jorge get shot by the visitor. You might need to start a new play-through if you were too antagonistic to HQ in previous acts. Ideally, praise HQ when you can, don’t alter the journal at all, be honest and push towards getting a lab in the city to study the artefact. When act 3 comes, choose to convince the visitor that you’re valuable due to your expertise on the artefact. In act 4, be cooperative, confident (but not arrogant), and emphasise that you aren’t too close to Jorge. Additionally, when observing the artefact, say you the hum is from the container, and that you pacified it, this helps convince him you’re experts
Alternatively, if you’ve been saying the artefact is dangerous, you can also survive by convincing the visitor that the artefact is too volatile. It’s important to agitate the artefact beforehand, as this will convince him of the artefact’s danger.
