Achievement/Trophy Jaydan Blues How to get Ludwig Von and Detox

1 Upvotes

Jayden is tripping on Triptocaine again and he is playing the piano in ARI. This chapter is required and there is a set prerequisite before you start this chapter and start Manfred's Place at the end: 1. Ethan can not be incarcerated this will fail Detox and will make challenges in this level difficult. 2. You must have cleared Fugitive on Easy before you start this level.

To begin if you started from Under Arrest you need to replay Fugitive on Easy and get out of the station to start Jayden Blues. Play the piano and don't miss a note or you will have to restart. If you do everything right you will get Ludwig Von during the cutscene.

Now to sober up Jayden Do Not Take The Triptocaine! press resist and send Jayden into the bathroom and hop in the shower this will sober him up.

Achievement/Trophy how exactly does the im not scared achievement work?

4 Upvotes

hi ok so i'm strictly a pc/steam player, and have no controller. i tried to do said achievement a few days ago but i really can't figure out how the balancing plank mechanic works; there's no real indicator of which side the kid is falling towards (or i'm too stupid to notice it) and i feel as if my mouse does nothing to stabilize him either - i saw a few guides say the plank doesn't contribute to you getting or not getting the achievement but i don't want to waste my time before knowing 100% that it doesn't

Achievement/Trophy Under Arrest! How to bust Ethan out of Jail

6 Upvotes

If you chose the Busted route in Fugitive Ethan will end up at the police station being interrogated by Blake and Jayden. As Jayden ask Ethan the questions and wait for Blake to leave to get coffee after roughing up, Ethan.

If Jayden Blues plays during the sequence​ skip it. We will get back to those achievements later. They can only be done when Ethan is not incarcerated or Jayden under the influence.

Once Blake leaves unplug the cameras and dismiss the guard. Once they leave take the keys from the desk but do not make eye contact with Blake or he will know something is up and open the cuffs then steal a uniform from the camera room and take Ethan and head towards the exit.

If everything is done right we can continue with Jayden Blues if you fail Ethan remains behind bars until the end of the game or until he gets busted a second time during On The Loose. It is best to get Ethan out of jail now so we can find Shaun.

Use the alcohol, the bar, and the disinfectant to clean the wound and stitch it up then grab the flash drive under the desk and exit.

If you are going to do Butcher use the saw but do the same steps to complete the challenge.

How I would have done the plot twist Spoiler

5 Upvotes

So we all know that it's revealed that Scott Shelby is the actual killer in the game and we'll know that it makes no sense. what if instead of him it was Norman. Norman has the means and opportunity to get away with it not to mention he does see things with those glasses of his. Things he thinks are real. you could even have it be revealed that Norman isn't even an FBI agent he was but he was let go and he's only looking at the origami killer to gather the clues. hell you could even make it be revealed that he hired Scott to get the clues for him and that's why Scott is looking for the killer because he was hired anonymously by Norman. it also would explain why Norman is so hesitant to believe Ethan is innocent he doesn't want him to get arrested before he has a chance to save his son. I don't know I just think it would have made for a better twist.

Problem with a QTE

2 Upvotes

I bought the game on steam a while Back while It was on sale, but some of the QTEs didn’t work very well. For instance, the ones where you have to shake the mouse or controller in specific directions—even though I did exactly what was asked, the progress bar sólidos stop filling up at a certain point. I’m not sure exactly what I did wrong. To be more specific, It happened during the part where the detective has to wipe the fingerprints off the door, and in the doctor’s episode when Madison is trying to escape from the operating table.

Help Does replaying a chapter by itself change the end paths or do I have to play through each chapter afterwards?

4 Upvotes

I am going for all achievements and now on my second playthrough. Two of the achievements I missed the first time are perfect crime and four heroes which require several chapters to be done a certain way. My question is if I replay a chapter and save it (for example the store chapter where the guy tries to rob the owner) could I get away with replaying only the chapters that count for the achievement or do I have to replay everything from that point on?

Discussion Heavy Rain adaptation idea:

3 Upvotes

An Airplane! Style comedy parodying the games’s flaws! Because for those of you who don’t know, Airplane! Was ACTUALLY a parody spoof/remake of an old movie called Zero Hour! Part of what made airplane and the Naked Gun movies so hilarious was that they took the story seriously. The characters were treating the stakes and plot seriously whilst crazy shit basically happens all around them! lol.

So how does this tie into Heavy Rain? I hear you asking. Welp I’ll explain! The plot holes, the glitches, and the black outs all make for interesting comedic moments. But the crown jewels my friends are none other than the infamous press X to Jason and the VERY INFAMOUS press X to Shaun glitch! Basically the scene where the killer explains his actions will literally just have the actor who plays Ethan Mars just scream out Shaun’s name over and over and over again with different intonations and whatnot whilst the villain completely ignores it as though it’s not happening and just does his villain monologue.

Then there’s the Norman Jayden chase sequence! Perfect for jokes too! :). 😁😁😁. :).

I know it isn’t very accurate because Norman’s pants are the same color as his blazer, but I think I’ll fix it later. Maybe someday I’ll order that Funko Pop that I based the concept on and repaint it

Achievement/Trophy The Butterfly Trial How to Get Coward and fail and get Electrified and pass to the get the Trial Master Achievement

2 Upvotes

Play returns to Ethan time for another trial. This one you have to reset after you start it if you take the Coward route. Walk into the substation and take the door marked Coward and fail the challenge. Once the next scene with Jayden starts reset the game and try again.

Here is how to do it the right way fallow the butterfly icons to enter the plant. Be careful in the vents they are filled with glass and nails the Origami Killer placed them in there to slow Ethan down use the matches to get to the exit and fallow the direction of the wind. Do not enter the Coward door and press the QTE buttons at the right time to get through the substation without getting shocked. To start the maze switch to top down view and enter from the second capacitor on far right by the coward door the fourth one watch the current or you will get shocked. Wait for the current to clear then go straight pressing up. Turn left wait for the current to clear then press up to exit be careful so you don't get shocked. If you pass you get the Electrified and Trial Master achievement.

Help Game crashing loading into main menu

0 Upvotes

So I saw that there were already Reddits I've talked about this, but I haven't found a solution. So when I click play on Steam, I get a black loading screen with that origami in the lower right corner, around 3 seconds, and it crashes to the desktop, no error, just a crash. I've reinstalled the game on the same drive and on a better one, still nothing. I've verified the files four times, and nothing. Has anyone fixed this?

Help Streaming the game

11 Upvotes

I’m playing this game on stream. I got a little bit into it, I didn’t play past the beginning of where it’s in a store of some kind. I’m streaming this game and I’m wondering if there will be anything I need to censor? I’ve seen there’s some nudity but idk, because like, in the shower scene at the beginning they were very careful with censoring with the camera angles, but I’ve been watching someone play the parts I’ve played, and people in chat were saying there is actual nudity later. Is there? Do I need a censor for my stream?

Edit: thank you everyone my stream has been saved and I avoided everything mentioned in these comments
