Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Achievement guide · roadmap · tracker

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is the eleventh installment of the Wolfenstein series and a sequel to the 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order. The game follows the main protagonist, William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz, in his efforts to ignite a Second American Revolution. The game is played from a first-person perspective and most of its levels are navigated on foot. The story is arranged in chapters, which players complete in order to progress. A binary choice in the prologue alters the game's entire storyline; some characters and small plot points are replaced throughout the timelines. The game features a variety of weapons, most of which can be dual wielded. A cover system is also present.

2017 ★ 84 80 achievements Guide 23% Singleplayer Difficulty affects achievements

There are four missable achievements to get during a playthrough; Crippled but Able at the beginning, "I'm Machine Enough" in the New Orleans level, Kick It during the Venus mission and Taste of Your own Medicine at the end. The hardest difficulty is required for one achievement; Mein leben, which you have to complete the game on a lower difficulty first for. This is nigh on impossible; super hard difficulty in hardcore/permadeath mode. Yeah.

Perk progress survives across reloads/deaths - so its easy enough to grind this out by (for example) saving just behind a commander, stealth killing him, and reloading. You can work out how to apply this hack to other methods for the rest of the perks... You can also continue to grind this out after the story.

I'm Machine Enough

Legendary0.5%

ObjectiveMissable

Beat the Panzerhund ride without killing anyone on "Bring 'em On!" difficulty or higher

In the mission "New Orleans", after climbing the ladder you'll be sitting on a Panzerhund - rush the level without killing anyone on the "Bring 'Em On" difficulty or higher. Make sure you don't run enemies over. The achievement will unlock when you enter the sewers. This is missable because there is no Panzerhund if you revisit the district after the story. Note this is much easier if you just get off the Panzerhund and complete the segment on foot. Even more so if you are only on the Bring It On difficulty.
