Tito, I don't think so, if you see the stats of Innocent Civilian:Mythos Rank - A% Complete - 100%Time - 3:07:09Blood Loss - LightMental Condition - DerangedWeapon Accuracy - 47%Shots Fired - 982Shots Hit - 466Enemy Kills - 137Headshots - 118Saves Made - 5Drug Abuse - CleanHe also had less that 50% accuracy, and I just played it all over again and ended with 48% accuracy, but I still had Heavy blood loss (consequence of using Dev Continue)... so MAYBE the blood loss is the key... anyway... I got tired of playing it... so much effort and time needed...

played on hardened detectiveMythos Rank: Rank B%Complete: 98% (edit: now 99%)Time: 03:21:04Blood Loss: LightMental Condition: DerangedWeapon Acc: 61%Shots Fired: 632Shots Hit: 387Enemy Kills: 157Headshots: 143Saves Made: 5Drug Abuse: Cleanoll notebook entries collectedfound the rifle in the rafinerysaved ruthunder 3.5h timeunder 30 savesedit: now got 1% more for save more urania guys, but still 1% need :/and mythos specialist dificulty is still locked maybe i must finisch the boyscout dificulty too?whats this "193.0" where i can look it up?

i made a few tests - 100% completion, less saves than needed (0 Saves), and a low Game-time (00.00.01) is definately NOT enough to get A-Rankalso solving all other difficulty Levels before including Pathfinder (or whatever it is called)will not unlock MYTHOS-SPECIALISTso what is needed to get that A-Rating ?anyone ?

is there another possibility to unlock it (just ask, but will also look for myself, but atm have no idea) ?

hehe, i gave all ranks the ID of A-Rank. Now i have only A-Ranks.i also ran a "test" again with 0 saves, 1 sec game-time and 100% completion, resulting (of course) in A-Rank (because of ID edit).However, still no Mythos-Specialist Level free.Another possibility is that the information is saved in the "configuration.data" file(or what means possibility, it is surely saved there) - and that the Rank-ID has no real meaning - so to set it all free one would need to be able to edit the "configuration.data"-filein any case, since many users finished hardened detective with 100% percent and < 5h (or whatever it was) and stll not get A-Rank (and also no Mythos_level) i doubt that finishing it is a guarantee to get this difficulty level.is there a PC player who actually played this Difficulty-Level free ?would be nice if someone just confirm that it is possible to get via playing on PC -or maybe i have to read the thread again ... B)

thx -< 3.30 is surely not too easy, and 100% - *sigh* -i already hate it, if i imagine that i play it and then 1% is missing at the endbut its good that you confirmed it very appreciated

I've played through this game at least 6 times in order to pick up the patterns of the enemy attacks in some of the more challanging areas.I also used a walkthrough guide for all of the item pickup and "must perform" functions in the game.(Yeah, okay.... I cheated a bit there...)In my first go at unlocking the Mythos Specialist level, I missed one thing.I didn't leave gas valve #1 turned on in the Refinery in order to kill the Shoggoth,and didn't realize I missed something until I completed the game with a 97 or 98%.While you can still blow the shoggoth up, it wasn't intuitive to me that 3 vs 4 gas valves would have an affect on completion percentage.I figured monster dead, mission accomplished, next....I'm used to run and gun first person shooters, so I've had to learn some patience with these award type games.Good luck!DeeZNutZ

Is it just me, or does no one want to help people get A rank anymore? We keep asking about that damn 1% or so thats always missing, and no one will explain what the heck it is....save ruth, get 3 plus sailors still standing other than winters, get the rifle, all the notes in order......what is missing? Honestly, what is it?I followed that guide thats presented here, and it says at one point you should have like 48% (like right after you get the rifle) but I always have 47%. I believe its when your told to go get the generator running again.Seriously....what the heck is missing? some little subtle thing that needs to be done? A scene that you need to witness? Talk to everyone as many times as you can?

People have tried to post a list of things to do, but there is so many things to take into consideration, mainly speed of playthrough, fewest possible saves, save as many sailors, get all items and clues, use as little as possible morphine, save Ruth. Save mankind!, compare notes with others who done it maybe?

Well, theres a few other things. There are the valves in the prison break, theres your accuracy, theres your bloodlossA dev came on here not long ago and pretty much said everything that's on that last screen influences your rank.And as for a little trick to up your accuracy rating and headshot count: use a melee weapon like the knife. It doesn't count towards shots fired but it does towards hits. Now, you might say "But how can you use a melee weapon and not get deaded without cheating?" to which i reply: charge at things. The AI hangs for a few seconds, and if you charge an NPC, they often don't know what to do. Even the deep ones in Hydra's lair get a little confused sometimes. It takes timing, and a fair bit of practice, but once you get it, its good. Remember in the ealier chapters, when you would draw the villagers down an alleyway and hide around a corner, then bash them? They would raise up an arm to block and stumble about?also, in hydra's lair, theres that incline towards the first statue? stand on there and they often won't know what to do, they just stop and turn around and stand there, giving you a chance for a smashing success

I'm not gonna play this game again to get better rank, but I have one question. Is rank in this game only for you satisfaction or are there any bonuses?

The ending cutscene has me confused. Is jack walters actually a Yithian, rather than human? and what of the 6 years of amnesia or whatnot? I realise I probably shouldve picked these things up during the game, but i didn't.Anyone care to illuminate this for me?

It seems that a lot of requests for helps and responds to those requests in this topic are in relation to the PC version of CoC: DCotE. So before I waste endless hours of my life attempting to get an A ranking, I'd like to know if there are any bug or annoying subtleties which may end up getting me 99% or a B ranking in the XBOX version of the game.

no

Hooray! Now I can waste endless hours of my life attempting to get an A ranking WITHOUT screaming my head off when I reach the end to find out that I only have 99% or I have 100% and I only have a B! Thanks.

Interesting, I just finished a Boyscout difficulty game with an "A" rating (and the full ending sequence). < 3:30, 100%, 3 saves.I read somewhere on this forum that you can get "B" at best as BS, but maybe it is because I already finished "A" on higher levels.

Yeah, the FAQ says you can't get an 'A' on Boyscout difficulty.

for those interested in watching the A ending, just go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H6WGSVMGOA

Where can I find Innsmouth Courier, 19th June 1846?

Isn't that in the Photography Darkroom? Under the red light are some floorboards that you can move and underneath is the newspaper.

I have finished the game at Hardened detective level with rank B and the last difficulty (Mythos specialist) didnt unlocked. Does anyone know why it didnt unlock? Do I have to finish hardened detective with A rank first to unlock Mythos specialist?

Thank you very much, fellas!! I'm finally beat it on "Hardened Detective" and get an A Rank!! Now I'm happy. p.s.: sorry for my english..

Perhaps these are 1-3 missed percent(s) many people were wondering about: 1st, as some person mentioned earlier, 1th valve (in the factory when you kill Shoggoth) may be required to be open.2nd, it may be that it's required to help the machine gun guy on Urania with ammo and medkit.

If people really are hung up about this, I think svcklead's patch allows you to automatically get an A rank which unlocks Mythos specialist.It's not quite the same as the hard slog and sweet reward of a perfect run-through, but the option is there.

I have a potion in my inventory - Meth Amphed something something.Dont know if I found it or made it or how it got there.But Id like to make somemore.Does anyone know the formula?Or Id be happy with the player item #.Thanks _______=== http://www.botmasternet.com RULEZ! ===
