    noleanderDid not unlock for me. May 2023, XBox. Watched full cutscene with no skips, Legendary with Classic graphics.

    Ace Chewiewell it unlocked for me, just followed above instructions.. 04 June 23.

    only thing I can suggest if its not unlocking is start game up normally, don't use quick resume. I've found this prevents some achievements from unlocking

    i Bright xYou 100% don't have to watch it in Classic the whole time.

    I watched the entire thing in the Remastered graphics, then switched when the scene in High Charity came, and it popped right away.

    Marathon Man Egg: This Easter Egg is hard to miss, as it doesn’t require anything to trigger it. In fact, all you need to do is watch the cutscene at the start of Gravemind on Legendary without skipping it, in CLASSIC mode and this will unlock. There's another easter egg guy to the right in Anniversary mode, but the achievement will only unlock of you witness the Marathon Man in Classic mode during the cutscene.
