How to get the Bruiser Achievement/Trophy

To get the Bruiser achievement/trophy you must beat Peter Cairns in a fight which will only happen if you correctly convict Cairns of the crime at the end of the first case, 'The Fate of Black Peter'. In order to convict Peter Cains you will first need the following evidence to reach the right conclusion at the end of the case:

- Stolen valuable papers

- Looking for papers

- Neligan's innocence

- Harmless flirting

- Unexplained presence

- Hurtley's innocence

- Feat of strength

- Pouch proves guilt

Once you have all the evidence you will be able to reach the conclusion on the 'Deduction' screen that Cairns was the killer. Select the 'Condemn' option which is the X button on your PlayStation controller (A button on Xbox controller) when the game asks you to either 'Condemn' or 'Absolve' him. Upon doing so Cairns will punch Lestrade and initiate a fight with Sherlock.

To beat Cairns, you have to aim within the circle around his face with the left stick and quickly press X (A) when the circle turns blue. After three consecutive successful hits you have to press Triangle (Y) in a QTE to knock him down and beat him for good. If you fail you just need to press Square (X) after the conversation with Lestrade to make use of the 'Replay Ending' option and repeat the above steps.
