Ok, so I managed to get through Ravenholm only using the Gravity Gun and I don't seem to have gotten the achievement.

Does anybody know if the mines count as the Ravenholm level too? I'm going to keep playing with just the Grav Gun until the end of it anyway, but it'd be handy to know.

Thanks.

» Edit Well scratch that, I just got caught by a barnackle and had to shoot it ):

Still; any ideas why I didn't get the achievement after the graveyard?

Maybe it just glitched out, I had a similar experience on Halo 3...

Are you sure you didn't throw something at someone or anything like that that might have counted towards a "weapon"?

Nah, that's the point. You have to use the grav gun to launch stuff instead of using guns. I'm guessing it's because I used a gun in the mines, because when you get out, Alyx comes over a radio and say ''I'm so glad you made it through Ravenholm''

It's a real kick, because I only shot one shell with the shotgun, because a barnacle caught me and I had nothing to throw at it. ):

The mines DO count. I wasn't sure either, so to be safe, I didn't use any guns in the mine. I got the achievement after I followed the light in the tunnel.

The mines are cake. I just ignored the first mob of head humpers (I like that term), and just blew up the second with a single barrel. Then I jumped to the water, used that cart with a blade on it to pwn the zombies, and blam, 25 points.

Apparently that one shot cost you the achievement, good luck doing it again

Yay, an hour and a half of play, ruined by one shotgun shell.

Thanks anyway guys. Much appreciated.

READ READ READ! and seriously... READ this!

okay there is a lock you have to break and climb up and then you officially enter the chapter! if you break that lock with the crow bar and not the grav-gun...it apparently *bleep*s the achievement up... I know that part isnt officailly in the chapter...but my friend did that and didnt get the achievement just playin through the game...if you select the chapter from beinging you may not have this problem but Idk

Glitchy achievements suck. Especially the harder ones like this one.

Although most of the 'achievement glitches' I've heard just seem like people who couldn't do it and are making up excuses.

There wasn't an autosave from before you went into the mine? Harsh.


It's just time consuming. The only difficult part was by the elevator when those skeleton screaming mother*bleep*ers attack you in giant mobs and all you have are freaking boxes to throw at them. I thought the part with the lift that brought me to father Grigori would be the hardest, but it was cake. I just ran in circles and only got hit twice before I jumped on.

Good luck getting it (again).

Shaneybaby!

I did the same. Only without actually firing any bullets/shells.

Still didn't get the achievement.

Here's a tip: Go back down the hatch and wait in the room until Grigory tells you the lift is up.

Yes you can get back in there, just jump down onto roof below and run back up the walkway.

I'm about halfway through and I haven't shot any guns, but I accidentally pulled one out, wonder if that screws me?

It's impossible not to have a gun equipped at one point, as when Father Grigori throws you the shotgun it appears in your hands.

As long as you don't shoot, you should be ok. I imagine actually swinging the crowbar has the same effect.
