    Simply load up the last checkpoint in Chapter 6. and skip all the cutscenes. When you get to the end, the achievement should unlock for you. It took me about 45 seconds. Good luck!

    Finish the game using Hysteria only once.

    This achievement is VERY easy. Just don't use hysteria at all during your playthrough. Definitely recommend doing this on either an Easy or Normal difficulty playthrough. Instead of using hysteria, when times get tough, just die. The game will go back to your last checkpoint, and you can resume from there.

    The reason that the achievement says "Only once" is because you're forced to use it once during the game, during the "tutorial." Just don't use it again, and you'll be fine.

    *Edit* You're not forced to use it during the tutorial in the game, but just in case you do, that is why you are allowed to use it once and still get the achievement.

    PBreezeyCorect, you can go without ever using it once, but will still get the achievement

    ItsChillMurrayI havent used it yet, including the tutorial. Not sure if this is like the One Bullet cheevo in Half Life (only use one bullet entire game) where if you accidentally use it twice, you can reload it and be fine. Hopefully someone can clear that up.

    m0rph3us17I found this pretty straightforward on Normal difficulty. Especially once you get the Teapot cannon, you can just spam most enemies from range.

    credit goes to TheGamingFilly from xbox360a.
    When you have already finished the game start the Doll-Maker Part 1 checkpoint through chapter select. Difficulty seems to be uneffecting.
    Just beat the boss not using hysteria and the achievement should unlock.
    Has been confirmed as working so far from one more user over at xbox360a.
    I couldn't test it myself since I've already unlocked the achievement.

    Lord RetroThis works...found out by accident. Was showing wife final battle/cutscenes since she was at work when I beat it and WHOOPS.

    Tomsta666I can confirm this as I have just done it myself. Also I started from the Doll-Maker part 2, so you dont have to go through all the train cut-scenes either. ;)

    OverkillChaosIt does in fact work.

    Did you forget to get this one first time through? Do you want to beat it on Nightmare but don’t think you can do it without Hysteria and you really don’t have the motivation for a third play through? Well it’s your lucky day! I did it on Nightmare and I actually found the play through easier than the first time through on normal!!! Here’s how:

    I got both achievements at once by using the DLC pack of weapons and dresses. Equip the red and white “Checkmate” dress to double your damage. Be sure to equip all the DLC weapons except for the Cheshire teapot. Start a new game+ on Nightmare. Assuming all your weapons are already ranked up from the first play through, simply bank all of your teeth throughout the game. The only place I ran into trouble is the final boss…that’s where the teeth you have been saving come into play. If you’re having any trouble, simply exit to the main menu and equip the “Mad Hatress” dress in which teeth replace hearts when receiving damage. I had saved up around 5000 teeth throughout the game and with each hit you take you lose around 100 or so teeth…so you can then take 50 or more hits from the boss without dying! This extra padding on your health should do away with any and all need for using Hysteria, netting you both achievements!!! Good Luck!!!
