For Syberia – The World Before players this is a guide to help you unlocking all the achievements, let’s check it out.
Introduction
-Read often your goal list because the secondary goals appear suddenly and it’s very easy to miss them.
-Do NOT accomplish the main goals as long as you won’t obtain your achievements and secondary goals.
-Usually when you accomplish your secondary goals, Kate and Dana say something about it’s time to back to work. This is important in some scenario when you can’t look at your diary.
