How to unlock the A Knight to Remember achievement

    Note: Lots of Witcher 3 achievements appear to be glitched/bugged for quite a lot of people. Often this can be fixed by restarting your Xbox and reloading a save. However, if this does not work then you may need to wait for a patch (Written 09/07/16).

    This achievement is gained once you have won the tourney without losing a single event.

    This can be done on any difficulty, however based on feedback I highly recommend playing on the easiest difficulty if you just want this achievement. For advice on doing this on Death March difficulty, see the bottom of the guide.

    I also suggest you have a good saddle for the horse race. The game should autosave at the start of each event in the tourney.

    To start this quest ("The Warble of a Smitten Knight") you must continue with the main quest until you fight the rock thing in the tourney arena. After that you will receive this side quest to talk to the wounded knight. Talk to him, then save the game. Go and enter the tourney. There will be a few events to complete with some story tasks in between:

    Shooting Range - You must shoot the red targets (I went as Geralt, and had to shoot these). Note that I shot two of the wrong targets before realising which I had to shoot and I still won easily.

    Horse Race - You have to ride around a long track in a limited time. You cannot do this without getting extra time. To get extra time attack dummies and targets that are all throughout the course. The dummies are beheaded with a melee attack and the targets are above the course and must be shot with your crossbow. I suggest you have the perk "Lightning Reflexes" to slow time during aim.

    Here there will be a cutscene and depending on which armour you choose at the start you will have either a fistfight or a mounted duel. You do not need to win this, it appears that only the four 'official' events count, however winning may count as the honour virtue for another achievement.

    Make a manual save while following the bird since the cutscenes after the 5v5 override autosaves from before it (particularly if you are on a hard difficulty). After following the bird make sure to say that you will remain in the tourney.

    Fight! - You must win a 5v5 by defeating all of the enemies without you falling (you cannot use signs, and your allies can be slain).

    Duel - You must 1v1 a large knight who is pretty slow and easy to dodge.

    After the duel your achievement should pop.

    Death March advice, this is taken directly and unedited from the comments of Kerman7, so a big thanks and all credit for this to him (expand spoiler):

    A big thanks to ThePlatinumKush for all his efforts and providing information that I never got during my playthrough.
    Also thanks to Kerman7 for his death march comment.

    MinkOneThis is completely glitched for me. Can't win the 5v5. I was having so much trouble with it, I even let the other team kill all of my team while on Death March, and then turned it down to Easy so that I could kill every single member of the other team myself, and they still gave the victory to one of my team mates. I'll have to wait for a patch I guess.

    VaderAGI'm really struggling with the race. The bloody dummies just won't be hit. Sword goes straight through them...

    QozulI had the same problem on my first try too. I can't remember the exact positioning that I used (so I wont try to say), but try swinging from different distances until you work it out.

    As long as you keep hitting the ranged targets then you only need to hit a couple of dummies.

    Good Luck.

    VaderAGWell I managed to do it, but c could only get him to hit the dummies when it was on his right, so I just went round them each time.
    I also found that if you have an elite controller, sticking the ride button to a paddle (I.e. A) means that you can still ride fast while shooting the targets. This helped a lot!

    Hexa FoxI did this at Level 44 and honestly had no trouble. I also have the game of the year addition as well. When the five-on-five began I rushed into them and got the attention of two of them. All of my team did fall but they were a decoy more than long enough. I also had the Grand Master Feline set too. It probably helped out a good deal, so just go after the achievement based around the armor first and you should have no trouble completing this.

    Apostle92627The race isn't that hard. I messed up twice, once getting stuck behind a fence, the other getting turned around. I also missed most of the dummys, but I got most of the targets. Lightning reflexes really helps, and I'm glad I put ability points into it yesterday. I didn't get to equip it until I used the mutagen, however.

    Dubakkur JonesIf anyone is still having trouble unlocking the achievement, clearing the alternate MAC address in network settings and replaying the 5v5 and final duel (considering you won the other challenges) will pop the achievement!

    Seems to work for other achievements that weren't unlocking too!
    Posted by Dubakkur Jones on 28 Jan 18 at 12:17
    Djshep^I can confirm that clearing the mac address helps to unlock the achievement. Thanks for the advice! I just cleared it and reloaded the checkpoint at the start of the 5v5 duel and it unlocked after it loaded the scene after the 1v1 duel. smile

    Gamez18241Just wanted to clarify - it's not a Mortal Kombat "Flawless Victory," you can take damage during the 5 v 5.

    beanybabyclareIt didn’t pop for me first time, and I forgot to do manual saves in good places so I had to go all the way back to my last one which was just before the horse race which annoyed me so I said I would come back to it. Someone said that clearing the MAC address helps, so I did that then turned on my Xbox. Next day I did it all again and it popped during the cut scene where you revived the sword.
