South Of Midnight – Cicada Tempest Achievement Guide

South of Midnight, the latest game from Compulsion Games is out now. While the achievements in the game are fairly straightforward and are centered around completing the game and finding all the collectibles, a few are combat-related. To help on that end this guide will help you unlock the Cicada Tempest achievement.Â

How To Complete

Two things are required for this achievement: the strand pull ability and the Larva Haint enemies. You will get both the ability and the enemy type fairly early in the game, but not right at the beginning, so don’t even bother worrying about this until about chapter 5.Â

To unlock Cicada Tempest, you must defeatÂ 10Â enemies using the strand pull (LT) on a flying larva and then unravel them afterwards. Unraveling them is key here, as it won’t count if you don’t do so. The best strategy is to wait until an arena has a larva haint enemy and use your basic attack to get an enemy close to no health. Once you’ve done that, use LT to grab a larva and aim and throw it using RT. Rinse and repeat 10 times, and the achievement will unlock. It should also be noted that you can use this on the larva haint nest itself.Â

I also want to point out that if an enemy hits you while you are holding the larva haint, it will automatically throw it, however, my tracker didn’t go up when this happened, so I don’t think it will count unless you use RT to throw it yourself.

Hopefully, this helps you get one step closer to your South of Midnight completion. You can find below other guides for the other combat-related achievements, as well as a guide for every chapter’s collectible and Health Filaments.Â Â
