Kyshakk Koan jlsgaladriel Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Hmmm. I just completed Avadon (as a loyalist, on hard, shaman level 29, ultimately heart of avadon.) I received neither the Hand of Avadon medal ("complete on Normal or higher") nor the Eye of Avadon ("complete on Hard or higher.") I did once, at level four or so, when I discovered myself inappropriately in the salamander basement below the Aerie, drop the difficulty to casual until I escaped, upon which I put the difficulty level back up to high and left it there. I didn't use any cheat codes. Did this prevent my medals? Quote
Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I don't think so. I did that for one area (not the basement of Zhethron's place, which I didn't find until later), and I still got the "hand" and "eye" medals. Count me baffled. Quote
Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 You need to play the entire game at a difficulty to get credit for playing it on that difficulty. - Jeff Vogel Quote
Kyshakk Koan jlsgaladriel Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 Argh. Out of curiosity, if I had cheated my way home rather than run through on casual, would I have gotten the medals? Quote
Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I believe so. Cheat codes only invalidate medals for the "Kill this enemy" medals. - Jeff Vogel Quote
Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 This might be a good thing to add to the medal screen in a future update. It makes sense that it works this way, but it's probably best to avoid overly frustrated players. If you ratchet the difficulty UP mid-game, will that also disqualify you from the medals? Or only if you move it down? Quote
Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 That's odd. I would've sworn I turned the difficulty down to Casual for a few of the fights on Shima's sidequest, but I still got the medals for beating the game on Hard. Quote
