	RetroRobb 8 Nov 2019 06:20 Well damn, look at that. Didn't know they could all be picked up lol. Thanks for taking the time to help!
	wilhitewarrior 8 Nov 2019 06:42 No problem :)
	TuxedoMarty 26 Feb 2020 13:03 How do I get the "Final Frontier", Fireproof and "Don't Feed The Trolls" achievements?
	ReeseKaine 24 Aug 2020 08:41 Jus Cuz puzzles me a tad. How many objects are there that can be set on fire?
	wilhitewarrior 24 Aug 2020 08:55 There are 7
	ReeseKaine 29 Aug 2020 02:55 Proceeding normally, how many objects would I be setting on fire?
	ReeseKaine 29 Aug 2020 02:57 Has the torch timer ever truly been explained? I'm trying to figure out how to route the game and do Lord Jair.
	wilhitewarrior 29 Aug 2020 03:04 There are 7 flammable objects on the game, the achievement requires all 7. As for the torch timer, it works like this: Each torch will give you 60 actions. Each and every time you do anything, your torch timer will decrease by 1.
	wilhitewarrior 29 Aug 2020 03:05 Lord Jair isn't all that difficult really, it's just a matter of knowing what you need and what you don't
	ReeseKaine 29 Aug 2020 22:04 I'm guessing every "miss" counts as an action? There have been times when I try to pick up a torch or a key, or the scepter and I happen to be off-center.
	wilhitewarrior 29 Aug 2020 22:41 Actually no, "You can't take it!" will not subtract from your torch strength
	ReeseKaine 30 Aug 2020 00:33 One last question on actions: Looking and moving between rooms: Do those count?
	wilhitewarrior 30 Aug 2020 00:34 Yes those do
	Olafur 31 Aug 2020 21:55 Man I have no idea what I'm supposed to do about this ghost of Sam Kinison one. I've looked at a few videos, but have absolutely no idea, damn XD
	wilhitewarrior 16 Sep 2020 16:10 lol the ghost of sam kinison one is to release the banshee in the crypt room
	ReeseKaine 16 Sep 2020 16:29 A great deal of the chevos can be acquired thru simple curiosity.
	Olafur 10 Jan 2021 10:07 finally came back to finish this, no idea why i waited this long.
	Deansrule 5 Jan 2022 19:56 Mastered! Super fun set and some great music
	Dogmeatman 10 Jan 2023 21:20 Great set, thanks. Really enjoyed this one. Had to think about a few of the achievements but got there in the end :)
	terminaldragon 21 Mar 2023 18:29 my first mastery
