How to unlock the Mostly Flesh and Steel achievement

    Confirmed - you may purchase weapon and equipment upgrades from Piero.
    YES! You CAN use Bone Charms!

    The only upgrades that void the achievement are the ones you purchase with runes. Blink 1 is given to you, that is the only one you can use. Purchasing Blink 2 will void this achievement.

    Hope that clears up any confusion.

    HolyWarr27Yes, I got Ghost, Shadow, and Mostly Flesh and Steel all in the same playthrough. I would suggest on the second run after knowing what to look for and knowing what to do for each level.

    Gilbert PrimeYou can get Ghost, Shadow, and Mostly Flesh and Steel in a single playthrough but you're setting yourself up for save/reload hell because of the alerts. Best do the no powers run for High Chaos and the others for Low Chaos.

    Resident VeganI was able to get through most of the game without alerting people but I wanted to give you a nod for your excellent videos as you helped me a lot with avoiding detection in The Flooded District. I can also confirm that you can upgrade weapons and equipment as I did so on my run.

    One important thing people should know for this achievement. Even though the description says, "...besides Blink", purchasing the upgrade to the Blink power counts against getting this achievement. Don't buy it or any other powers or enhancements under the "Powers" menu. I only discovered the Blink factoid after already clearing half the game with the Blink level 2 purchased. :/

    Other than that, this achievement is pretty straight forward. I would recommend going for this one on a run through where you're not totally restricted from killing like some of the other achievements require and play on the easy difficulty.

    Have fun. ;)

    KingCrimson220Ya it threw me for a loop at first too, but I took a second to dissect what it meant lol it says to finish the game without purchasing any supernatural powers OR enhancements, besides Blink.
    The only thing that confused me was where it says enhancements, I did not know if it meant the quipment and bone charms as well. But yeah it just means any supernatural powers or supernatural enhancements, but if you can use bone charms and equipment upgrades like the gent mentions above then that's pretty cool, an thank god cause that would've been a bit boring ish lol

    MagnumZeroUnder the Powers menu it say "powers" for the top half and "enhancements" for the bottom. Not really sure how people are finding that part confusing. The only thing that should really confuse anyone is the Blink aspect of the description. Still I guess I'll adjust the solution so it's a little clearer.

    taneclI just completed the game & thought I hadn't purchased a thing, but somehow Blink Lvl.2 was purchase and I didn't remember doing it and I didn't get the flesh achievement. So Blink upgrade does count
