Add links to survival guide, characters and areas later.
These are 5 achievements in the game that are particularly difficult or enough on the technical side to warrant guides, they are as follows:
Notes for achievement unlocks:
- "Reach the Nuclear Throne" refers to actually sitting on the Nuclear Throne, rather than just starting the fight.
- Steam version: achievements were only added at official release, so there may be inconsistent percentages between unlock and progression achievements.
- Xbox version: the "Not Bad" achievment is currently unobtainable without daily challenges. Vlambeer is aware of the issue.
- Playstation version: includes all the same achievements(trophies) but also includes a 45th - "It's Not Fair, It's Not Right" for completing every other challenge.
