This achievement gave me a little trouble, but the advice of 'Mega Bunny' from the Steamcommunity site is good:
'You don't need to replay the entire game without failing. Just replay chapters 1, 5, 8 and 16 without failing a QTE. After each chapter the save file will update to 'pass'. After Ch.16 play the game through to the end and it will pop. BTW I chose to fight the thug. I'm not certain you can avoid him.'
