Depth 6 Achievement Guide

This guide will be covering the steps on how you can get 100% achievement in Depth 6. If you’re one of the players trying to obtain all Depth 6 achievement, this one is for you.

There’s a total of 13 achievements in Depth 6 and none of these achievements is hidden. Below is the guide on how you can obtain them.

Depth 6 Achievements

To make things easier, we will be separating each achievement based on their category.

Miner Encounter

	Rookie Photographer Capture 10 valid photographs of the enemy in motion.
	Expert Photographer Capture 20 valid photographs of the enemy in motion.

You have seven encounters with the miners throughout the game, with a possibility of taking twenty-four photos in total. Even though the descriptions state that the photographs should be taken while the target is in motion, shots of stationary ones are also counted. For moving targets, timely and rapid shooting is needed to reach the number of valid shots stated below.

• Depth 2, one can be seen wandering behind the trees. (5 shots)
• Depth 3, one appears right in front of you after picking up the gas can. (1 shot)
  As you approach him, another one spawns behind him and rushes at you. (4 shots)

• Depth 3 to 4, one can be found staring as you descend to the fourth level. (1 shot)
• Depth 4, another miner rushes at you as you make your way to the ‘device’. (2 shots)

• Depth 4, one can be found standing guard with a needed key in hand. (1 shot)
• Depth 5, another miner spawns behind and rushes at you as you open the first (unmarked) door right behind the one with a hand-written warning on it. (8 shots)

• Depth 5, you come across three doors labeled 0, 8 and 16, respectively. They are tied to the number of your valid shots up to this point – i.e., as long as you have sixteen shots, it is possible to open all three of them, yet opening one locks you out of the other two. Although the paths they offer differ slightly, all of them has a miner rushing at you. (2 shots)

Essentials

Free-faller Fall from a very high point.

Right after the first encounter with a miner in Depth 2, you come across an opening in the cave system with an abyss in the middle. Jump into the said abyss. Note that this does not result in death. In fact, it is the preferable way for descending as it is faster and leads to more collectibles than the other paths available at this point.

Rescue Team Locate a fire axe.

You find a cave-in with a detonator nearby as you explore Depth 4. Pick up the detonator, place three sticks of dynamite on the box and follow the on-screen instructions to detonate them. Check the place after the detonation to find the axe. Mind that not picking up the axe locks you out of another achievement, as well as two possible endings.

Code Cracker! Open the secret vault on the 4th depth.

You find a locked safe midway through Depth 4. A hint for the code can be found on its side.

In case you miss them, here is what to look for in the surrounding area:

If you can not figure it out, the code is 5837. Besides its own achievement, unlocking the safe and picking up the contents is crucial for obtaining another three.

Gas Mask Located! Locate a gas mask.

As soon as you jump down from a slope in Depth 5, check the right side for a small opening. This path leads to the mask but you require something for stepping on to get across the gap on the way. Go through the ‘tunnel of doors’ and reach the area with fenced compartments. Search the area to find a plank.

Make your way back to the opening, place the plank on the gap and get to the other side. Use the fire axe to tear down the wooden barrier.

Place three sticks of dynamite on the box follow the on-screen instructions to detonate them. Further, explore the place after the detonation to find the gas mask.

Be sure to equip the mask through the inventory screen as soon as you pick it up to avoid further contamination. Just as the axe that can be found in Depth 4 is required to get to the gas mask, the mask itself is also a must as you descend to Depth 6 (if you are aiming for either the second or the third ending).

Collectibles

	Demolitionist Pick up 6 sticks of dynamite.
	Gold Miner Pick up 7 golden coins.
	Collector Pick up 3 blood trees.

Listed below are all the collectibles that can be found throughout the game, in order of appearance:

• Depth 1, a stick of dynamite can be found in the cabinet next to the barrel with the shack storage key on it.
• Depth 2, another stick of dynamite can be found in a cabinet on your way down to Depth 3 if you choose to descend by way of the route within the cave. — Not recommended.

• Depth 3, just as you come to your senses, turn back to find the first blood tree lying on the floor. Note that this area is only reachable if you choose to jump into the abyss in Depth 2. — Recommended.
• Depth 3, after picking up the blood tree follow the path upwards to find a golden coin and a stick of dynamite on a couple of boxes. Likewise, these two are only reachable if you choose to take the ‘abyss’ route in Depth 2.

• Depth 3, a stick of dynamite and a golden coin can be found on top of a box lying near a bunch of trees.
• Depth 3, another stick of dynamite and yet another golden coin can be found in a cabinet that is only unlockable if you have five valid shots by this point.

• Depth 4, two golden coins can be found on a couple of barrels.
• Depth 4, another golden coin can be found lying next to the ‘device’.

• Depth 4, a couple of coins, a stick of dynamite and the second blood tree can be found in the locked safe which is tied to a puzzle.
• Depth 4, another stick of dynamite can be purchased for six golden coins from the dispenser found right next to the locked safe. Might as well if you have the coins since they are not usable anywhere else.

• Depth 5, the last stick of dynamite can be found in the area with fenced compartments.
• Depth 5, still in the same area, there is a cabinet that is only unlockable if you have twenty valid shots by this point. The third and final blood tree is to be found inside.

Endings

Since the game does not save your progress at all, three runs are needed to get all the endings.

Achieve Ending 1 Complete Depth 6 with the first ending.

Reaching Depth 6 without an equipped gas mask or already being fully (100%) contaminated before equipping the said mask results in the first (sickened) ending.

Only having a gas mask equipped lets you explore Depth 6 further. Coming upon a couple of elevators, you can either:

Achieve Ending 2 Complete Depth 6 with the second ending.

Take the right one to ascend back to Depth 1, which results in the second (defeated) ending.

	Locate Depth 7 Locate Depth 7.
	Achieve Ending 3 Complete Depth 6 with the third ending.

Or take the left one to descend to Depth 7, which results in the third (adventurous) ending.

The Easter Egg Bonus

Although not tied to an achievement, the endgame stats screen mentions an easter egg which I have yet to discover.

I guess it is related to the sealed door with the symbols on it that is found in Depth 1, as well as the three blood trees that can be collected throughout the game. Even with the trees at hand, I couldn’t find a way to activate the said door.
