 When you first get into the castle, you will eventually come across a couple of cannons being fired at you. Go up the stairs to raise the canon and fire it at the enemies.

Defeat a Garrador using only knives.

 When you are in the castle, you will encounter the Garrador which is blind. He has a weakspot on his back which can be stabbed with the knife. Trick the Garrador to charge into the wall so you can slash away or stab the weakspot.

 You'll need the thermal attachment for the sniper rifle and eventually you should find a Regenerator with three parasites all lined up together. Shoot the parasites and the achievement should unlock.

Capacity Compliance
Reach the top of the clock tower without the lift stopping once.

 During the elevator segment on clock tower, enemies will drop down and cause the elevator to temporarily stop. You need to kill every enemy before they land on the elevator. If you mess up, reload the last autosave or try this on new game+.  

 

Smooth Escape
Escape on the water scooter without taking any damage.

 At the end of the game, you will get on a jetski. Avoid the debris and obstacles until this segment is over. If you take damage, reload last autosave and try again. 

 

Amateur Shooter
Complete a game at the shooting range.

 Refer to "Real Deadeye" 

 

Real Deadeye

 The shooting ranges can be located near the Merchant throughout the story. Each range will contain three rounds but these will stack if you have missed any. Keep playing each round until you get S-ranks. 

 

Trick Shot
Shoot through and destroy 5 targets at the shooting range with a single shot.

 (Will update for the specifics) In one of the shooting range rounds, you will need to use the sniper rifle to shoot a line of targets. 

 

Other runs

Sprinter

Complete the main story within 8 hours.
 If you are going for S+ ranks, you should not have to worry about getting this.

 Don't talk to the Merchant during this run. You'll have to rely on the resources you have. Leave this for a later run or combine it with "Minimalist and Frugalist"
