  This is not a complete solution, but I think that I can offer a useful tip for those who, like me, are having trouble with the core defense at the end of the game. BEWARE, THERE COULD BE SOME SPOILERS:
  
  - If you can afford it, buy "return to sender for less" in the vending machine before the fight. If not, don't worry. It's not essential, but it's helpful.
  
  - When the fight starts, stick a bunch of Return To Sender traps (holding LT) on the front of the core like this crappy quality picture shows:
  
  

  

  
  - This will make the core almost invulnerable, therefore making the fight A LOT easier. This way, you can allow the enemies to focus their fire on the core, and you can destroy them from behind easily, or even use Songbird on them. Rockets do damage the core a little, so focus on RPG infantry and cannonner ships first.
  
  - Keep an eye on the core, and if the traps start to dissapear, throw some more. Also, if an enemy gets near the core the traps will explode, so be careful with that too.
  
  Hope this is of some help, and sorry if there's any grammar mistake, english is not my mother language. Also, if someone has a way to improve this solution, just comment ;)

  Thank you for this solution! Due to your advice, I've completed the game yesterday

  This should be in the walkthrough. I've spent a lot of hours trying the WT method without success. The same for that tip using the Kiss the Devil traps to kill that Sirens Ghosts 3 times.

  Does completing this achievement also unlock the achievement for completing 'Hard mode'?

  This is not a full solution, the ones already posted here are great, but more of a guide for the Handymen and Lady Comstock bosses. The gear pick-ups are random, so you may not have what is listed, but I would suggest using what works for you best as these are just my personal preference.
  
  >>Possible Spoilers<<
  
  HANDYMAN
  
  Gear Loadout:
  Hat – Sheltered Life (brief invulnerability when picking up health) or Hill Runner’s Hat (shield break increases movement speed).
  Jacket – Shock Jacket (when struck 50% chance to shock for 2 seconds).
  Boots – Handyman Nemesis (increased Handyman damage by 50%).
  Pants – Head Master (increased critical hit damage by 50%)
  
  Vigor:
  Murder of Crows
  
  Weapon:
  Shotgun
  
  Strategy:
  Use the Murder of Crows vigor on the Handyman, which will cause him to pause for a couple of seconds and swat at them. While he is distracted, shoot him in the heart twice, then recast Murder of Crows and shoot twice again; evade and reload. Repeat this process, evading when necessary, until he is dead. If he gets close enough to melee attack you the Shock Jacket combined with Hill Runner’s Hat should allow you enough time to evade until your shield recharges.
  
  LADY COMSTOCK
  
  Gear Loadout:
  Hat – Sheltered Life (brief invulnerability when picking up health) or Hill Runner’s Hat (shield break increases movement speed).
  Jacket – Shock Jacket (when struck 50% chance to shock for 2 seconds).
  Boots – Tunnel Vision (aiming increases damage by 20%, hip firing decreases damage by 20%).
  Pants – Angry Stompers (when extremely low on health deal 2x damage).
  
  Vigor:
  Shock Jockey
  
  Weapons:
  Shotgun and Sniper Rifle
  
  Strategy:
  When the battle begins, do not worry about Lady Comstock, instead focus on the resurrected dead. Cast Shock Jockey on them, and then shoot them with the sniper rifle. If you kill them while they are being electrocuted, Lady Comstock cannot resurrect them again. If Lady Comstock gets close to you just shoot her a few times with the shotgun, and she should retreat. Once all the resurrected dead are finished Lady Comstock will follow you around using an area of effect attack. Avoid this attack and shoot her when possible. Repeat the process until she is dead.
  
  There are three different encounters with each enemy in the game. If you use this strategy to fight them your task will be much easier. After several deaths, I employed these strategies and was able to defeat each boss without dying. Good Luck!

  Thanks for pointing out using shock jockey on the first lady's goons,what a life saver. I just wanted to add that you can go into the little sarcophagus off to the right and pick them off easier since its enclosed.

  Follow-up on what Goggs25 mentioned about the bank vault fight with Lady Comstock - if you reload checkpoint then you are able to jump back through the door you used to come into the room. The lift door wasn't open for me but it does allow you to collect weapons\items\ammo before triggering the fight.

  Posted by FamousYeti on 06 Apr 16 at 03:02

  For the bank, i found that I could shoot her through the vault door without going through it, and then while her ghost soldiers can come through the door, she cannot and will sit outside the door trying to get to you, letting you slowly wittle down her health without much danger to yourself

  Here is a link to a full guide on 1999 Mode under the Scavenger Hunt achievement restriction. It has full commentary and should help players of all skill levels overcome this challenge.

  Hope this helps.

  Hey Seraphim17, most of the vids in that playlist have been deleted stating "This video has been removed for violating YouTube's Terms of Service."
  
  Any chance you can take a look at that, cheers

  ^ ^ ^ what he said...seems very weird since a few are still available so really don't think this is a valid ground for deletion but IDK,seems weird though

  Posted by EverStoned77 on 28 Sep 17 at 03:25

  This solution may or may not have been really useful to begin with, but almost all of the videos are taken down. Would have loved a commentary 1999 mode video walkthrough!
