Wrapping Up the Odds and Ends
At this point if you chose the Voodoo route for play you still have the Prate with Muskets Achievement outstanding, as well as the All-Rounder and Big Game Hunter Achievements. The last two are the sort you have to grind out however, so a lot of gamers are never going to get them... Well, the All-Rounder is actually not that hard, and it can be acquired as you go for the Pirates with Muskets Achievement if you like.
The basic strategy is to have 61K Glory and at least 17K gold coins, then cap off an ability, buy all of the skills from the trainers, and then reload WITHOUT saving. Do that for all of the abilities save the one (Voodoo or Guns) that you did not choose for this play-through. Then simply revert to the base save point that you were told to make and not overwrite that took place BEFORE you made the faction choice, and play the other side until you have accumulated enough Glory and Coin to complete its cap and bang! You end up with just the Big Game Hunter Achievement outstanding.
The strategy for the Big Game Hunter one you probably do not want to hear... It is simple -- find a place that has multiple enemy, then grind it over and over and over until the Achievement unlocks. You kill all the enemy then reload without saving and kill them again.
-- Closing Notes --
The process of creating this guide was daunting, largely because this is a game that you really need a guide to play primarily because of the lack of usable mapping and the absence of a radar disc. Well, that and the fact that the quest system is dynamic and changes depending on how you approach the game.
Getting this guide written required a total investment of more than 250 hours in actual game play plus another 70 hours of video editing. The raw guide worked out to over 185 pages. We hope that you find this to be a useful guide!
Very useful guide! I liked this game, despite the critics around the web!
