Five-Clawed Cat Burglar Achievement Broken

SaRuZ · December 2016

Over and over I barely unlock all three chests at 33 seconds and still no achivement. If you expect us to unlock them, retrieve the coins & return to Tamira in that time for it then I want what you people are smoking.

For one it takes a 2 second delay to OPEN each chest, that's 6 seconds. Selecting a chest is unresponsive half the time so you have to repeatedly select it to elicit a response easily costing a few more seconds. I have opened Master chests like a pro many times but this is [Snip] stupid.

I have done it in the time frame to get the achievement without an problem at all. The only time I didn't clear it in under 35 seconds was because the Simple chest wouldn't force unlock for me.

Dymence · December 2016

It's not bugged, I did it on my first go and so did many of my friends.

Can't rightly say what's going on in your case though.

bebynnag · December 2016

yeah i have the achievment on 12 charcaters 9 of whom force locked, 3 of whom didnt (new characters - no ledgerman/SP's.

Same.

Tryxus · December 2016

4 Chars -> 1st Attempt success on each -> No Force Lock

I am uploading a video right now

Second attempt for me, because my cat decided now was the time to go for my lap. I missed it on one other character, when the quest wouldn't update and timed out.

Yinmaigao · December 2016

The first day, I didn't realize there was a timereally. Did it on 7 characters and each got the achievement; I thought it was just tired to quest completion at first >_>

SaRuZ · December 2016

Good to know. Sadly I don't have the time or interest to have 25 characters to try it on, just the one.

ListerJMC · December 2016

I actually did have a bug with this achievement not being given to me as well, but I don't know if it's the same thing.

I was grouped with a guildie and we both had the quest active. I did all the lockpicking to finish it within the time limit and yet he got the achievement (even though he did nothing) and I didn't. It was very odd!

Next time I did it I got it though, and I didn't use any force locks on either attempt.

Know the difference between bugged and inability to get the achievement. It's very easy with force lock but rightfully a bit more difficult if you have to pick them all manually.

driosketch · December 2016

If it's bugged, it's bugged the other way. I have the achievement on two characters already while manually unlocking, even breaking picks. It seems to me as long as I can unlock on the first try, I get it. Because it sure didn't seem like I was under 35 seconds on my second character.

Wow, can you be any more arrogant? I did it in 25 seconds flat manually. I spent two hours doing it over and over. Restarted console and repeated. It is a bug.

ArchMikem · December 2016

I did it just barely in 32 seconds, it's not impossible. Some people are just really slow at the unlocking mechanic. I know a player that cannot for the life of them unlock a chest.

milkbox · December 2016

Turning on "auto-loot" really helps. Takes more time to manually retrieve the loot that it does to pick the locks.

driosketch · December 2016

Well I know it's clearly not broken on PC, is it a console issue?

Idk why I did not consider this. Thank you.

I did it first time without force break myself, Ps4

magnusthorek · December 2016

Even when I tried to force the lock in the advanced one, and then the only lockpick I had broke and I had to buy two more and then do all of the three manually instead of force, even though I got it in time.

I think your issue is with the minigame itself, not the timer because. It's a natural process. I remember when I started playing the game, the first chest I saw locked I thought "crap, it's going to be hard like in Oblivion", but when you understand how it works and when you have to stop pushing the pinions, you'll be able to do even without sound.

I would think that insisting that one's skill is infallible, while being told repeatedly by others that there is no issue, would be more in line with a definition of arrogance.

Also, repeating it over and over may well cause issues to occur. Or, dropping/failing the quest may invalidate the achievement for that day.

Cryptical · December 2016

Lag plays a BIG part of it. When there's plenty of crap going on around you, it does show on the screen in that fuzzy area around the mini game, slowing the whole thing down.

Being treated as if I lack the "skill"(what a *** joke) to unlock chests yet seeing as EVERYONE responding to this thread can do it and on their "first try." Is childish. On that note...

My main got it on 3rd try, some of my alts got it on first, and even one got them opened and collected at 20 seconds, I shouldn't have gotten the achievement, but I did.

You didn't loot the chests so there is your problem. At the end of your video you can see the quest markers are still above the chests and your quest tracker says you still need to loot 2 of the coins. The achievement is fine.

The problem is you need to actually loot the chests, or it doesn't update. Without the coins the quest doesn't advance. So, no, this isn't that the achievement is bugged, it's a PEBKAC issue.

The Achievement requirements do not state the requirement of looting each chest to obtain it. It states, "During the Trial of Five-Clawed Guile in Reaper's March, unlock all chests in 35 seconds or less."

Therefore I ask that this thread be closed since out of the 20+ people to respond, only two or three actually gave advice and solutions. Goes to show how *** this community is.

I am sorry you feel that way about the community but maybe if you looted the chests and had auto loot on you wouldn't have had to make this thread in which you got upset when people told you that the achievement is in fact working as intended. The achievement is pretty easy to get, as people have already stated many times, and fairly straight forward.

Also sorry you feel that way. It looks like you were just over thinking it. Figured you could game the achievement by satisfying the letter. The truth is the timer is actually very forgiving, and just completing the quest naturally often earns it. Which is why you got so many replies about its ease. And it's only after the video do we see the issue.
