Hollowbody: Hollowbody – 100% Achievements

Hollowbody is an atmospheric survial horror game featuring 20 Steam achievements.

First Playthrough – Reunion Ending, Collectibles & Weapons

• Play on Intended difficulty.
• Do not save the Wounded Stranger on the roof of the apartment building.
• Find all collectibles (Signals and Documents) and obtain all weapons.

Second Playthrough – Riven Ending

• Play on Punished difficulty.
• Save the Wounded Stranger on the roof of the apartment building.
• Optional: Complete the game without using more than three healing items.

Optional Third Playthrough- Doggo Ending

• Play on Punished difficulty.
• Complete the game without using more than three healing items.

You can avoid a full third playthrough if you reach the final boss area without using more than three health items (Doggo ending). After the credits, load the last autosave and use some of the healing items scattered across the boss area to unlock the Riven ending. However, it might be easier to do the Doggo ending on a separate playthrough since you will unlock the Scissor Blade – a powerful melee weapon – after completing the game on Punished difficulty for the first time.

There are two achievements for completing the game on certain difficulty levels. To unlock both, you must complete the game twice: once on Intended difficulty (available from the start), and once on Punished difficulty (highest difficulty, available after completing the game on Intended difficulty). There is no achievement for completing the game on Casual difficulty.

Completing the game on any difficulty will unlock Dungeon Crawl mode and Big Head mode for New Game+. Completing the game on Punished difficulty will unlock the Scissor Blade – an extremely powerful melee weapon – for New Game+.

Tips for playing on Punished difficulty without focusing on any ending:

• The final boss is the only enemy that must be defeated; all others are (theoretically) optional.
• Always fight enemies one by one. If necessary, try to lure them away from other enemies!
• Regularly save the game and remember that loading a save file will reset enemy positions.
• Save as much ammo as possible for the sewers (most difficult area) and the station.
• Don’t forget to set the corpses of defeated enemies on fire. Otherwise, they will respawn.
• There’s no need to collect any optional weapon other than the shotgun.
• If you must use a melee weapon, wait for the enemy attack, then doge, strike, and repeat.

Additional tips for playing on Punished difficulty while focusing on the Doggo ending:

• Don’t use more than three healing items. Save one for the sewers and one for the station.
• Shoot only big enemies. Use a melee weapon for normal enemies (Scissor Blade if unlocked).
• Don’t fight enemies in narrow passageways with many camera angles. Instead, lure them out.

The game features two normal (Reunion and Riven) and one secret (Doggo) endings.

The normal endings depend on the outcome of the conversation with the Wounded Stranger on the roof of the apartment building. If you try to call Tax or answer the radio call, the Wounded Stranger will jump off the roof, leading to the Reunion ending. If you don’t try to call Tax and ignore the radio call, the Wounded Stranger will follow you until the end of the game (enemies cannot kill him), leading to the Riven ending.

The secret ending can only be unlocked on Punished difficulty, which will be available after completing the game on Intended difficulty. If you beat the game on Punished difficulty without using more than three healing items (including the Repair Spray at the beginning), you will find a doghouse after crawling through the hole in the final boss area. Please refer to the previous section for tips about playing on Punished difficulty.

Quiver Down Your Spine

Find and combine the wooden bow and the quiver of arrows to unlock the achievement.

The quiver of arrows can be found shortly after leaving the apartment building; in an archery range between house number 34 and house number 36 on the main street leading to the park:

The wooden bow can be found at the fountain in the park, next to the remains of Erin Marlowe:

Boomstick

The shotgun can be found on the altar in the chapel:

Cooking on Gas

The flamethrower can be found on the dining table in apartment 0.14. Since the apartment door cannot be opened with the master keycard, some backtracking is required.

After obtaining the pack of fuses in the Star shop, backtrack to the apartment building. Use one of the fuses to open the closed shutter, then enter apartment 2.14 and use the makeshift hook on the hole on the floor to get the key to apartment 0.14:

Record of Events

This achievement is missable and requires some backtracking. First, ensure you do not save the Wounded Stranger on the roof of the apartment building (answer the radio call). Progress until you reach the Star shop and pick up a pack of fuses. Then, backtrack to the apartment building, use one of the fuses to open the closed shutter, exit the building through the window to the parking lot, and locate the dead body of the Wounded Stranger to find a secret note:

There are 35 collectibles scattered throughout the game: 8 Signals and 27 Documents. Since none of the collectibles carry over to New Game+, all must be collected in a single playthrough. Fortunately, only one Document is missable, and collecting 26 Documents is sufficient for the achievement. If you save at the telephone booth in the subway station towards the end of the game, you can backtrack through the entire game to collect any missed Signals or Documents.

Both achievements unlock after viewing the Stats screen at the end of the game.
