    zsoltee53After I completed a challenge the game will save automatically my progress or I have to complete the mission?

    geobandit212I can't figure out why this achievement is worth so many points because it is relatively simple to do. If having troubles, put it on normal - unlock the challenge and restart. It was fun doing them and I think I unlocked the achievement around the Hope level

    This is the best guide I've found. It gives pictures for every level, and actually guides you through each challenge.
