    BEFORE GOING FOR THIS IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU GO TO THE MAIN MENU AND MAKE A COPY OF YOUR SAVE SO YOU CAN DO BOTH OPTIONAL PATHS WITHOUT RESTARTING THE ENTIRE EPISODE.

    This achievement is gained during Act 2 after choosing to go Fishing. Once you grab the spear and meet Violet by the water, she will ask you to catch fish swimming upstream. During this mini-game, you will need to catch 3 fish in 3 tries. Use your cursor to aim over the fish and RT to use the spear. If the cursor is red when the button is pressed, the fish will be caught. Keep in mind that the fish move diagonally up and across the screen as they swim. The following missable achievement can be seen in the video below at 5:03:

    If you miss a spear, immediately back out to the main menu and re-enter the game to have another try at doing this. Unfortunately, you will need to listen to about 2-3 minutes of dialogue for every attempt.

    VRETENAR 906These achievements ruined the game for me. I wish it was like before. Just sit back, enjoy the story without having to worry about shit like this.

    RCone138A big help is to turn up your camera sensitivity setting for this part. Makes it much easier to move your cursor in time for the final fish. This should be added to the guide

    If you choose to go fishing during Act 2, you need to spear 3 fish. The first one is pretty slow and the cursor is almost over it. Move the cursor until it turns red, hit RT. There is some dialogue then another fish to spear. Repeat the same process as for the first fish. There is then more dialogue and then another fish to spear. This time I advise to let the first fish go by, as it’s very fast and hard to spear. The next one is slower and easier to hit.

    If you miss any of them, you will need to quit to the main menu and then continue the episode. Unfortunately the checkpoint is a bit far back and you have to go thru some dialogue, pick up the spear etc.

    It took me 3 shots to get this, so good luck.

    p.s. there may be an even slower fish for the 3rd attempt, but I didn’t wait to see. If anyone finds out there is, please let me know and I’ll amend the solution.

    Apostle92627Anyone else feel like this one needed a checkpoint?

    DAMIEN666777@Apostle92627 where is it putting you? It's odd for me that yesterday i played it and it started me back at the school before making the choice but today i played and i got a checkpoint for this and the rabbit one to where your walking to the shack or the hunting part so it wasn't as bad as when i first played. I didn't get a update so not sure how this changed but they are still a pain in the rear with this one being the easy one of the 2.

    neeker75This one needs a checkpoint right after you pick the spear up. I mean, seriously, the achievements in this game.

    Anyway for this one, I just camped my cursor at the general location where the 3rd fish of the 3rd attempt will appear, and wait for it to swim past. It always appears at the bottom so no chasing after it, just a quick spear as it swims into my cursor location.
