How to unlock the Sound of thunder achievement

    I have added all my individual guides for the codex entry achievements into one massive guide here. Some important notes which I will add also:
    - Field Manuals save after being picked up so you can leave the mission without getting worried you need to get it again. There are 66 of them to collect.
    - Once a challenge has been completed you can simply leave to game and it will save.
    - The Bloody April challenge in Total War seems to be glitched for some people. If it doesn't stay unlocked after completing it simply complete all other challenges and come back to this one to get the Master of Adaptation achievement/trophy.
    - Field Manuals have been given separate videos mission by mission in order to help the trophy/achievement hunter following the guide and make it easier on them.

    War Story: Through Mud And Blood
    Chapter: Over The Top

    Tank Shock - Collect all field manuals.
    0:00 - Field Manual 1
    0:20 - Field Manual 2
    0:43 - Field Manual 3
    1:01 - Field Manual 4
    1:23 - Field Manual 5

    Observation Balloons - Kill 5 enemies while on foot.
    After the short cutscene where Finch dies and you pick up the wrench, you can now hop out of the vehicle by holding X on Xbox or Square on PlayStation. Once outside of the tank you need to get 5 kills on enemy troops with your gun.

    German Anti-Tank Tactics - Destroy all field guns.
    There are 36 Field Guns in this mission which need to be destroyed before the end of the mission. Here is a video guide showcasing all their locations on the map:
    #1 - #2 - 0:00
    #3 - #5 - 0:15
    #6 - #10 - 0:41
    #11 - #13 - 1:08
    #14 - #17 - 1:25
    #18 - #21 - 1:50
    #22 - #25 - 2:16

    #28 - 2:53
    #29 - #32 - 3:00
    #33 - #36 - 3:34

    Chapter: Fog Of War

    Guiding Bess - Get through the forest without being detected.
    To get this one you need to make your way through the entire Forrest area without being detected. This will require melee and stealth and will cancel out the 'Forest Combat' challenge. Make sure you are using lures to drag enemies away for easier kills. You can have an enemy reach red bar but if he alerts his friends then you need to restart the checkpoint.

    Forest Combat - Get through the forest without any melee kills.
    This one can be done by simply running and gunning through the areas, just don't kill any enemies with melee. This will cancel out 'Guiding Bess'.

    Gone Chemical - Collect all field manuals.
    0:00 - Field Manual 1 - Checkpoint 1
    0:20 - Field Manual 2 - Checkpoint 2
    0:55 - Field Manual 3 - Checkpoint 3
    1:24 - Field Manual 4 - Checkpoint 4
    2:03 - Field Manual 5 - Checkpoint 4

    Chapter: Breakdown

    Stealing Tanks - Retrieve all the engine components undetected in breakdown.
    To get this Codex Entry you will need to enter the town and retrieve all 4 Spark Plugs from the dismantled tanks without being spotted. This is actually very easy if you know enemy patrol patterns since they don't change all that much. When you start the mission go to the first windmill and grab the silenced sniper, this will be your friend for the level. Kill the 4 enemies at the first outpost then take the spark plug. Enter the second outpost (Right Side) and throw a bullet, this will kill distract the enemies making it so you can walk straight in and grab the plug. Now head down the street and go around the side and you can sneak in and grab the third plug (a bullet may be needed). Now head across the water and snipe the sniper in the windmill then head up to where the destroyed tank is and throw a bullet which will make the enemy walk away and you can grab the spark plug.

    Tank Hunters - Retrieve the first engine component in breakdown.
    This is story progress so it can't be missed.

    0:00 - Field Manual 1
    0:25 - Field Manual 2
    0:55 - Field Manual 3
    1:45 - Field Manual 4
    2:23 - Field Manual 5

    Chapter: Steel on Steel

    Bourlon Wood - Don't let the tank get damaged before clearing the village.
    It's abit hard to write a guide for this so here is a video guide for you. Video credit to 'DonPimpNutz'

    Beutepanzers - Destroy one of the captured Mark V tanks.
    The MARK V TANKS are the big ones that you will encounter at the start of this mission. Simply drive down the hill and you will see 2 light tanks and 1 heavy tank drive by, the heavy tank is the MARK V. You can destroy the tank from the hill if you are going for the Bourlon Wood challenge to prevent yourself being hit.

    There's always a first - Collect all field manuals.
    0:00 - Field Manual 1
    0:35 - Field Manual 2
    1:00 - Field Manual 3

    alpaca777My advice to anyone having trouble with the Field Guns is to follow the video made by Trip0dT0m, it's the third solution. I did that and it popped first try. The video in this solution is just garbage and then everyone adding little comments to it makes it even more confusing.

    Whats a ChundyThe cannons are glitched to unlock, but I have unlocked it now, have 100% completion, and am missing this achievement somehow. Any ideas how to fix this?

    steverogers789For those who are stuck at 92%, I hope this helps you. I did all 4 missions of "Through Mud and Blood" from scratch 4 times in a row with all codex entries completed but I was keep getting stuck at 92% each time. What I did on my 5th run different is basically, I separated my "hard difficulty run" and "codex entry run". At first, I was doing the first mission and stealth sections of second and third mission on hard to minimize my effort since I need that achievement as well but as I said, on my 5th attempt, I did all 4 missions and codex entries on easy difficulty and achievement popped at the end. I don't know if this is a coincidence but I wanted to share my experience if someone has the same issue with me. Hope it helps.

    Now I am going for a 6th run to complete on hard :)
