The Devil in Me Crime Scene Photographer achievement guide – Where to find all of Mark’s photo opportunities

There are over 20 photo opportunities required for The Devil in Me‘s Crime Scene Photographer achievement. You’ll know you’re looking at the right object, building, or scenery since the camera reticle will turn green.

To be clear, though, a single solo run won’t be enough to find all of Mark’s photo opportunities for the Crime Scene Photographer achievement in The Devil in Me. You’ll likely need to play the Curator’s Cut, which is unlocked once you complete a Theatrical Cut campaign. However, this is only available to those who’ve preordered the game. If you didn’t preorder, then you’ll need to wait for a few months until it’s added to the base game.

Note: There might be a way to gather some photos on your own, and then trying co-op to see if Mark is playable in other chapters, but I haven’t tested this yet.

Theatrical Cut photo opportunities

Chapter: Scouting

• Enter the library. You should see a desk with a scratch mark.
• The door in the second library room (where you’ll need to climb down a ladder).

Chapter: Mannequins

• Try to get a clear shot of all the mannequins sitting around the dinner table. If the reticle doesn’t turn green, get the right angle or try to focus on the Charlie mannequin. Try to be quick here because Jamie will show up and trigger a cutscene.

Chapter: Workshop

Note 1: This is extremely important, but you need to pass the QTE to grab the camera after Mark falls down the vent shaft. If you fail, the camera will plunge down the acid vat, and the gadget will be gone for good unless you restart the chapter.

Note 2: There are several “Hide” and “Don’t Breathe” sequences here. You must complete all of them successfully. Failure to do so will cause Mark to get captured, and you’d end up skipping these areas.

• The acid vat just after Mark falls down.
• Take a photo of the boxes on the shelf.
• The Kate mannequin.
• A mannequin of an unknown person next to a panel with buttons.

Chapter: Pool (Outside)

• The mannequin in the dried-up pool (the one with a chopped off hand that’s holding a key).
• Pan your camera to your left and take a photo of the light post that’s working.
• Look around and you should be able to see the manor’s main building. You can also take a photo of this during the Cliffside chapter.

Chapter: Pool (Inside)

• Upon entering the building, you’ll see a mannequin holding a towel.
• One of the changing rooms has a gory blood spatter on the wall.

Chapter: Cliffside (Wilderness)

Note: Charlie will be the playable character in this chapter if he’s still alive. However, you can get him killed in the Incinerator Trap (i.e., force the door open twice), or the Grinder Trap (fail the QTEs). This will make Mark the playable character, where he’ll follow a different path to reach the factory. Also, I’ve yet to check if Mark can be used here in a co-op run (in case you don’t want Charlie to die too early).

• Once you reach the pier, you should be able to see the lighthouse in the distance.
• The mansion can also be seen from here. Try not to advance too far since the cliffs and rock formations might block your line of sight to these buildings.

Chapter: Cliffside (Factory)

Note: You’ll visit this location as Charlie if you kept him alive. Again, if he’s already dead, then you’ll control Mark here.

• Check the bloody clothes on the table.
• After Du’Met leaves, enter the larger chamber and take a photo of the bodies hanging from meat hooks.
• The recently killed person on the slab.

Chapter: Lighthouse

• On the second floor bedroom, you’ll spot a desk with a monitor. It also has two tape recorders revealing that Charlie was innocent all along.

Curator’s Cut photo opporunities

The above are Mark’s photo opportunities for the Crime Scene Photographer achievement in The Devil in Me. These are from a solo Theatrical Cut run. The ones below can be found while playing the Curator’s Cut campaign.

Chapter: Opportunity

• You can take pics of all the characters while they’re chilling at the dock. This is how you can complete the Say Cheese achievement in one go.
• You can also photograph the lighthouse’s tower in the distance. Try not to advance too far since some obstacles might block your view of the tower/searchlight.
• Once inside the building, take a photo of the skinned animals on the wall.

Chapter: Spa

• The Columbus Spa logo.
• The mannequin of the worker just below the construction platforms.
• There’s a mannequin tied to a gurney.
• There’s also another mannequin that’s hanging from the ceiling.
• Later, you’ll stumble upon two mannequins chained to a saw trap.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is available via Steam.
