    ***If you vote negative, please comment as to why. Constructive criticism is appreciated. ***

    This achievement is supposed to unlock once you get all the other achievements in the game and therefore should pop once you unlock your 24th achievement. At least it does so for most players.

    This did not unlock for me after getting all the others and even replaying the final case. So this is more of a warning than an actual guide.

    At the time of writing, there are 45 gamers on this site that have unlocked 24 of 25 achievements, which should be impossible.

    EDIT: I managed to finally unlock the achievement. The reason it was not popping after gaining all the other achievements has to do with the way the game tracks them through your game save. I found this solution after I contacted the Frogware support (which was very helpful, very nice developer btw).

    It turned out, I unlocked the achievement for defusing the bomb during the Infamy case and quit the game after that. But there was no auto save at this point. When I resumed the game the next time, it started right before the bomb defusal – which I skipped, since I already had the achievement for it. But the new game save continued without ticking it off. So at the end, even though I actually had unlocked all the other 24 achievements, I had only 23 in the game save.

    I am glad, I remembered that I had quit the game at this point and then skipped the defusal later. A quick replay of the beginning of the Infamy case fixed it and the achievement finally popped.

    I hope this helps people in the same situation as me, although for you there might be a different achievement affected.

    DanAmlwchJust by way of an update, the "Exorcism 2.5" achievement randomly unlocked for me during the course of today. There may have been some form of background refresh/re-sync of my account but nothing that I tried to do manually, maybe I'm one of the lucky ones!

    MetroidoI got this one but I'm missing 4 others. Totally weird 🤔

    EaSkateVideoI unlocked this achievement today. What helped me (I think) is to make sure you have enough spare time to be able to complete each case in one session, so 5 cases in total should result in at most 5 seperate sessions.

    YaIrishMick96I got it to unlock upon replaying one case where I missed an achievement on my 1st run of it. I had already replayed this case prior to finishing the game and had unlocked the Night Unseen achievement, however it does appear that this final achievement is triggered only when the game "thinks" you've got an achievement via its auto save system. So fucking glad I got this because what a horribly shit game this is. Its just a sequence of QTEs and Mini games that are poorly designed and unengaging

    JCDenton1907I did everything, didn't skip anything. 3x times and still no achievement. I'm sick tired of bugged achievements.

    LitaOsirisThank you so much for posting this. I was having issues with achievements unlocking on the Redux version of the game on my Series X, so I decided to delete my save and start again on my One X. Every achievement unlocked fine except for this one and then I realised…I skipped the bowls game since I had already gotten that achievement on my initial save. Sure enough I replayed “A Study in Green” and this achievement unlocked once I won the game.
