This is a work in progress Achievement guide for Life is Strange: True Colors.
ATM: Only Chapters 1 & 2 are finished. Spoiler Alert!!!
There are a total of 40 achievements. It is a mix of story-related, collectibles, and side-missions. If you are using my guide, you can just scroll down as you gain each achievement as I will go in order of when you should unlock them.
You only need 1 play-through but if you did happen to miss an achievement, the chapter select in this game is very forgiving. There is a replay option that doesn’t go over your current save and made just for achievement hunting.
