Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Achievements List
Looking for that perfect gamerscore for Nuts & Bolts? Need to clear out the achievements but aren’t quite sure what you’re missing? Look no further. Below is a list of all Nuts & Bolts’ available achievements as well as a few tips on what you can do about, well, achieving them. If you’re lucky, of course.
There are 50 Regular Achievements in the regular game for a total of 1000 Gamerscore.
Downloading the LOG’s Lost Challenges DLC gives the player the chance to earn 10 Additional Achievements for a total of 250 extra Gamerscore.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You may wish to check out the requirements for the Burn the Witch achievement before you get too far into the game, as it is possible to miss it permanently and be stuck without a perfect gamerscore for the game unless you start a new file. A new patch fixes this glitch, although those without access to Xbox Live will still find themselves with this problem if they make this mistake.
