Hello folks,
I thought I would share with you how I finally managed to finish the last achievement I didn't have in Deadlight yet, 'Tales of Glory' finish the game in nightmare mode (no saves or restarts, got to complete entire game in 1 sitting), no mean feat.
I managed to get an easy(ish) way for anyone else, who wants it, to get this achievement crossed off from their list.
I been working with CH's deadlight trainer and getting a workable list of teleport codes up to get past nearly all hard and awkward bits. I been at it for just over 14 hours straight, just finished both the codes and the full run through on Nightmare, which only took @15-20min with the teleport codes. If I had any idea it would take so long, I would have never have started but I did ACT 1 jump codes in about an hour and I thought the other 2 ACTS were going to take about the same time. Alas I was dead wrong and 14 hours later, while cursing, swearing and grinding my controller but at least I persevered and got that damn achievement. Considering how much time and effort I put into it, I thought I would share it with the rest of the world.
Enough drivel, on with how to do it:
I listed the needed codes in the next post as it wouldn't all fit in 1 post, simply copy and paste the 2nd post and save it to a file name called Locations.ini in My Documents. Now DL the trainer if you have not already, run Darklight, I suggest you run Deadlight in window mode so you can see trainer and read through each portal description notes as you play the game. Start a game (I suggest normal mode to practice a full run, try to see how I did the teleports and familiarize yourself with each jump so when it comes to doing for real on Nightmare, you cannot afford to make any mistakes) then ALT TAB, run the trainer, ALT TAB back to DL, press F1 to activate trainer, ALT TAB back to trainer, you should see figures in the health slots etc. (for now do not lock or change anything here), hit teleporter tab at the top, press on import list at the bottom, it will look for Locations.ini in My Documents, find it on the browser and click on it, that should load & show all portal location on the list on the trainer window from j01 to j66. You won't be able to read the full description but that is why you are running DL in window mode so you can read full description on either the web browser or simply open the INI file in notepad.
Now simply read the descriptions and play accordingly and teleport when you need to.
For example, you already have started the game, so your character is waiting at the starting map, goto trainer, read first portal line which says 'j01 use this at start, open & walk through door -> j02;-990552973;1156424909' - j01 is portal number, so you can easily see it in the trainer's list, description is what follows it, in this case it says use this right at your start game, it will put you near a door which you need to open and walk through (BTW sometimes after a jump you may need to move a little in the opposite direction of where you need to go to let the game draw an area like a door, in this case the door might not show on the left so move a little right but even if it does not show, it will still show the open icon when you get close to it) if nothing else is mentioned in the description it will say ->j02 which mean use the next jump number in this case j02. the number after are used by the trainer to put your character in the required coordinates.
I hope that makes sense, if it doesn't then it is probably because I am typing this post after being up for more then 24 hours and this game has taken most of my higher brain function. Just let me know and I will try to make it clearer, once I get some sleep.
Now like I said, I highly recommend you try this first by starting a normal game and start at the beginning. Not only do you need some time to adjust to it but also re-familiarise yourself with Deadlight as you will still need to do a few tricky bits (mainly the chopper parts), again, this is all mentioned in my jump descriptions listed below, so perhaps read through that beforehand as well. Once I did it on normal, it took me only @15-20min to run through it on Nightmare which includes 1 failure in ACT 2 so I had to start again.
NOTE: do NOT lock health, you shouldn't really need to with the jumps anyway, as locking health will cause a few problems at certain stages, you can lock AMMO but again, I HIGHLY recommend only lock ammo when you have a gun. So when it gets taken away, remove the lock, otherwise I found it can cause Deadlight to crash when you get your gun taken away or get it back and if you're doing it on Nightmare, that will be annoying for you.
Teleport codes and notes in the next post, copy and paste that info into a file called location.ini and put it in My Documents.
Well that's about it, I hope some of you will find this post useful and I hope it may bring several of you folks a breath of relief after completing that most annoying achievement of this pretty cool game.
PS. If anyone has an easy way to complete Limbo's hardest achievement, complete game in 1 sitting with max of 5 deaths, please let me know, as it is another game that I want to cross of my 'achievements not finished' list.
PPS. Addition to Jump31 below (j31) once you portal the ratman might not show on the central watertube, if he is not there, climb down a bit and back up till he shows (otherwise it will not have rendered the area past the traps and doorway)
Cheers.
