    This is the second guaranteed achievement in the game and comes after you escape from the derelict house in the game's opening sequence. You will have to fight Mia twice throughout this section, once with an axe and once with a gun and the axe if you remember to pick it up again.

    After watching the video tape and learning of the hidden path in the TV room, follow that path to eventually reach Mia in a cage. Look to the left to find a pair of bolt cutters that you'll use to free Mia. Follow her slowly until she lays down on a couch, then enter the side room and interact with a creepy doll on the back shelf to cause Mia to be snatched by someone. Follow through the new door and explore the hallway at the top of the stairs. Grab the map and the first aid meds in the bathroom, then try to open the door at the opposite end of the hallway to no success. Double back to the door you came in to cause Mia to be extra creepy and attack you. Wait for the sequence to end and try to open the doors again to find them both locked. Walk by Mia again to have her come back around and throw you through the wall. Time for a fight.

    Grab the axe on your right before you get up, then start whacking Mia. On medium difficulty, this fight should be easy enough as long as you block Mia's attacks, which will also earn you the Arms in the Air achievement. Take her down and walk back to the beginning of the hallway to have the phone ring. Pick it up to have a conversation with Zoe for the first time where she basically tells you to find a way out. Go through the door at the end of the hallway to find yourself back in the main part of the house. Go through the kitchen and look right to find a cabinet that you need to use the bolt cutters on to open them. Grab the fuse and head to the TV room to insert it into the fuse box on the wall. Walk back towards the stairs to start a sequence where Mia attacks you with a chainsaw. You can struggle if you like, but it doesn't change the outcome of losing your hand. After Mia walks away, you can pick up your hand if you like, which is very strange and funny, or you can just walk up the stairs and leave your hand there. Press the button on the second floor to open the stairs and climb up them into the attic.

    Go through the first door and look on the desk to find a handgun and some ammo. The gun holds 7 bullets at a time and takes a long time to reload, given you only have one working hand. Look on the other desk in the room to find more bullets, then head down the hall and through the other door. Turn right and enter the door to find a few more bullets on the table, then go back into the previous room and start climbing the ladder. Quickly get off and run to the other side of the room, then look back to see Mia cutting through the door for a very dramatic entrance. The key here is headshots and blocking. Each headshot while she's not already stunned will stun her for a significant time, allowing you to get more damage in. She will initially drop down and charge you, so make sure you're blocking to push her away and not take major damage. If you run into the rooms we passed through prior, Mia will have to cut her way through the door or wall, which is very slow and gives you ample time to lay damage down on Mia.

    After taking Mia down, you'll be left to wander around aimlessly for about a minute, then a cutscene will play where Jack spins you around and wallops you, unfairly, then drags you and Mia to the real house. The achievement will pop somewhere during this sequence, so enjoy!
