    The hard achievements stacks with the casual and normal difficulty achievements, so if you beat the game on hard, you will obtain all 3 difficulty achievements at once at the end. You can replay all chapter via timeline / chapter select to obtain the hard achievement, is not needed to start a complete new playthrough. To obtain the hard achievement via timeline, you have to replay ALL chapter (chapter 1 - 5) AND as last chapter 5-3 to get your achievement.

    Hard is not really hard in this game except the final boss fight. Some users have really problems here, so I have create a short video and write down my strategy. Honestly you need only the time rush + melee skill and some pistol bullets to kill the boss easily ;)

    First of all, you can not damage the boss directly. First you have to clear the enemies in this area and avoid the bombs from the boss.

    My strategy uses only time rush and melee skill (Hold LB + B near an enemy). Melee works only in combination with time rush and kills enemies instantly with one hit. After the cutscene run down the ramp with time rush and melee the first enemy in front of you. Get in cover and let time rush refill to 25% it can be used again. Use time vision to detect the remaining enemies and kill them all using time rush and melee. The most important thing is to avoid the red bombs on the ground from the boss. If you stay longer on a position he will throw the bombs and you will die instantly.

    The best way to avoid bombs thrown at you is using time dodge (push LB short)

    After you kill the first 3-4 enemies the boss switches the position and throws a giant bomb on the ground, run away as far as possible! After the bomb detonates go back and the boss becomes vulnerable, shoot him with your pistol, one shot is enough.

    That was the first of two rounds. The second round starts now and more enemies arrive at the swimming pool. Once again use time rush and melee to kill all of them and the boss will start to use the giant bomb but this times he throws 3 bombs instead of one! So you have to run from one end to the other and back to avoid the explosions. If you have managed to avoid all 3 bombs you can shoot the boss again one time and the fight is over.

    Lucasone228For those who didn't get the achievement, make sure you completed all the stages on difficult (I accidentally did 2 on normal) and then do the last stage again.

    Gilbert PrimeI wasn't having any trouble with Hard until the final fight. Ramping up the difficulty at the very end is such an amateurish move.

    Twigleaf TwigsNot only is this one extremely unbalanced, amateurish, and cheesy... They seemed to have updated the difficulty from your video. In phase 1, I have 5 enemy to kill and his invisi-death balls seem to be more abusive. You only had 3, and plenty of time to idle in corners. They seemed to have really threw a wrench in this boss fight. These death balls ( not the explosions ) are what makes this a travesty by this development team. If you make a game hard, it needs to be on a scale and linear. Don't throw in 100 deaths at the end to make comeuppance for lack of ai balance.
    This dev team just threw in a bunch of Insta kill death balls and increased the difficulty of final boss battle tenfold. It really is amateurish on the devs to do that. Replace AI with cheap gimmicks to kill you.

    I think they even made it harder after a patch for sure.

    For anyone still having trouble with the last boss after the tips using powers and guns you can try what I did. I couldn't beat it with powers and guns since every time i slowed down to shoot or use a power I got hit by a bomb the next second, so I thought I'd do laps around the outside and see how long I live for (I really don't know why) and after 4 or 5 laps I guess the enemies following me all died from the bombs and I just had to run away from the big bomb and shoot him, happened for both rounds and I didn't even get hit by a bullet. Maybe I got lucky but good luck to you.

    KillersquirelzRunning around in circles seemed to work better than anything. Definitely don't try to hide. Just keep swimming, taking potshots at people, doing the time rush melee only if someone is nearby, and eventually you'll be successful.

    This is quick playthrough of the final part of Quantum Break. I'll demonstrate some techniques to make Hard Mode easier. I'll also have a concise version that just talks about the strategy and shows the tips but here it all is in action.

    Bernman 117I re-started on hard, after playing normal, and after exiting half-way through the game resumed with normal. So be careful that the same doesn't happen as you'll have to replay those levels on hard. Also "hard" on this is like normal on most games.
