Introduction
Welcome to Deep Black Episode 1 achievement guide & road map. Deep Black was best described to me as a mixture of Gears of War game play with a Dead Space feel stirred with a little bit of necessary 3rd person atmosphere. Its a fun little third person shooter with an extremely weak plot-line with some repetitive combat that generally makes up for the lack of any substantial attachment to the story. Overall the game itself is quick, and you will be happier knowing you have 200 rather than be chomping at the bit for the next episode this summer. Follow this simple guide and road map and you'll find yourself 200 richer and with another arcade under your belt.
Abbreviated Walkthrough
For the walkthrough we are going to simply tackle it in three parts which the first two can be done in any order leaving the third to follow. Just note that the story mode and the multiplayer achievements are fairly straight forward and will be relatively blank as far as juicy details in the guide portion. For the specific kills and data I will give tips and tricks that'll help you achieve these with ease.
Story Mode
We are looking at three achievements tied directly to the story mode itself equaling for a total of 60. There are three acts in the story mode, each containing a different amount of "chapters" per act. I'll give the long list of acts/chapters here, and then again in each achievement's guide with a little more detail:
Act 1:
- Descent to Antillia
- Lab Work
- Underwater Slaughter
- Stun Gun Fun
- Communication Breakdown
- Volcanic Panic
- Fire and Water
- Narrow Escape
Act 2:
- Cancer the Crab
- Sub Human
- Reactor Reaction
- Hangar 18
- Advent of Ichthys
- The Zealot
Act 3:
- Arrival at Channels
- In the Floodgate
- Opening the Gate
- Crab Claws
- Wreckage
- Death from Above
- Death from Below
- Blood Under the Bridge
Simply play through the acts/chapters and you will earn three achievements for 60.
Multiplayer
Here in the multiplayer section we are looking at four achievements totaling up to 40. The multiplayer itself can be done in a private session in unranked rooms, and it's best to do that. There are a few people playing this game legitimately and could easily ruin your chance at getting the achievements.
Set your first match to 15 kill limit and allow one person to grab all fifteen kills netting three achievements and then going through the next four maps and simply winning the game with a one kill limit and switching off if necessary to help your fellow booster.
Please visit the Achievement Trading Thread to find yourself some fellow gamers to do these achievements with!
Miscellaneous
The final five achievements totaling 100 could be done after you blow through the story mode, and actually two could be unlocked simply by playing through the game without knowingly going for them. We'll tackle them in detail, and I will provide specific acts/chapters on where/how/when to do them.
Conclusion:
After a few hours of playing this 3rd person shooter you should now be looking at another arcade game under your belt and another 200 added to your gamercard.
