Default Mirror's Edge Achievement guide

This guide will help you get the Mirror's Edge achievements. Have fun and overall enjoy this awesome freerunning game!

Overview

+Estimated achievement difficulty: 8/10
+ Offline: 44
+ Online: None
+ Approximate time: 25-30 hours
+ Minium number of playthroughs needed: 3
+ Glitched achievements: None
+ Cheats: No Cheats

If you want all the achievements in just 3 playthroughs use this strategy:
Playthrough 1: You can get 715gs in your first run if you do all the tricks, find all the bags and don't shoot an enemy. You can complete the story mode in about 4-6 hours depending on your playstyle.
Playthrough 2: Now you've finished the game and unlocked the hard difficulty. If you complete the game on hard you'll get the pro runner achievement worth 80 gamerscore. You can finish the game pretty quick because you know the way and you're able to shoot enemies so this take about 3-5 hours.
Playthrough 3: Not really a playthrough but you need to finish the chapters under a time limit. The speedrun's are worth 10g each so all together will give you 100gs. Speedrun's are very hard and depending on your skills this will take most of your time, about 10-15 hours.

Time trials: And at last the time trials wich will take you 5-7 hours also depending on your skill. They are not that hard and if you practice them you get the time trial achievements worth 105gs pretty easy.

Easy done in the metro level. There is a part where you have to fight 2 police officers and 4 swat members.
Try knocking out as much as you can and die. You respawn with all the enemies back to life. Just rinse and repeat. You get this easily if you just play through the story mode but you can use this method if you skip all the enemies.


Mine! 15

Other:

Vrooom! 40
Maintain sprint speed for 30 seconds.

In Chapter 6, checkpoint D, after the sequence about Project Ikarus, you need to escape from the guys who came in the elevator. As soon you have control of Faith, just run in circles around the base you need to climb. The area is large enough to maintain speed. You need maintain 30 seconds in full speed. Try not to do edgy corners, try to stay in the same direction, doing the corners softly. Stop running when you think you hit 30 seconds. The achievement will pop up if you stop.


Up, over, under, onwards 25
String together the following: jump, coil (over obstacle), slide (under obstacle)

Easy done in Prologue. Start checkpoint A and the first fence you jump () over you can coil up and then carry on holding down and slide under the pipes.


Free flowing 25
String together the following: wallrun, jump, speedvault

Run towards an wall and press at the right moment, then press and again and speedvault. A speedvault is when you hurdle a mid-height obstacle perfectly, which makes you gain speed. To do this press to vault an object thats in your path.
Easy to do is the tutorial: When crossed the pipe you see a small building. Instead of climbing on it wallrun the wall on the right and jump on the ledge. You'll have more than enough height to do a speedvault.



May I have this dance? 30
String together the following: wallrun, turn, jump, wallclimb, turn, jump

Press to start wallrunning next to a wall, then press to turn, again to jump towards an edge. Press when climbing on the wall followed by one more time and this achievement will pop up.
Done in Prologue: The 2 buildings you're after is the one where you have to cross the pipe and the one right next to it, run up towards the left wall and start a wallrun, quickly do a 180, jump again, another 180 then jump and you should be on top of the pipe building and 30 points better off.

aaaand safe! 30 String together the following: wallrun, jump, coil (over obstacle), skill roll

Press to start wallrunning and again to jump. Press when in the air to coil over an obstacle and finally again to roll and achievement unlocked. A good place to do this is Playground two in time trial mode. Go to the second checkpoint and look right of you for an orange stair. Now go a little bit forward (keeping the stair right) and you'll see some wood right next to the building left of you. In front of that wood there's a fence with a wire. Now go back a bit, make a run to the plank, on the end of the plank press and jump toward the building (you'll be wallrunning now), when almost at the fence press again (timing is important) and quickly press and again to skill roll.



Head over heels 20
Complete a chapter of the game without ending up in a heavy landing

Easiest done in Prologue (training doesnt count) try pressing right before you land from a high distance. Faith will do a skill roll and don’t take any damage.
Be carefull: when droping down from the vents (first encounter with enemies) make a skill roll!!! Otherwise youll get hit and this counts as a heavy landing.


Untouchable 15
Complete a chapter without getting shot

Easiest done in Prologue. There are 2 enemies that you'll encounter. At the First enemy, Try jumping () and press (kicking) at the right moment so that you bodysmash him to the ground
(this will get you the Secret achievement ''Hey it's-a-me!'') Now move to the left to avoid the second enemies gunfires. Activate Slowmotion with and disarm him with .
