This is a possible cheat for always completing dashes with faster shortcuts (if it carried over from the Beta to the final game). Run a Dash and stop before you finish. Then look on the map where you are. Restart the Dash and mark the location where the finish line is on your map. Now following your runner’s vision, which will show you a short way to the finish.
Easy "Danger Zone" achievement
A good opportunity to do this is in Mission 7: "Fly Trap". You can replay it through mission select at any time (under the pause screen where you view the map and upgrade your character etc). A couple of minutes into this mission, you will go to the Lair safehouse. You will encounter a large group of enemies. There are more than enough enemies in this area to do this. Note: The kills only count after the focus bar has been maxed out (build focus by running around or knocking out enemies). Your focus bar is allowed to decrease between knockouts. It just cannothit zero. Restart the checkpoint if it runs out. It is highly recommended you purchase all upgrades first and then replay this part through mission select. The only tricky enemies are the Shock Protectors. The quickest way to kill them is with Traversal damage. Attack them from a wall run or climb on an object and jump down on them. The other enemies are pretty easy to defeat. Every time you take damage your focus bar will decrease, and when you knock someone out it will increase.
Easy "Easy Runner" achievement
First, unlock the "Turn", "Coil", and "Skill Roll" skills from the movement upgrades. Go to the area shown in the video and perform the required combo in quick succession. It is important you do not perform any other moves in between and complete it in one go without the focus bar breaking. A detailed explanation for every move can be seen at the movement upgrades screen.
Easy "Elegant Flight" achievement
This can be easily be done during the "Memento" fragile delivery near the headquarters safehouse (The Lair). This is a very easy and short delivery, one of the first you will come across. Always skill roll when doing jumps or dropping down somewhere. The skill roll will ensure a soft landing and keep the package safe. There is a package symbol displayed at the top of the screen. If you see it taking damage, you must restart the delivery (let time run out or kill yourself and it will automatically restart).
Easy "Law-Abiding Citizen" achievement
At the very start of the game (the first time you have control over the character), you must very slowly walk through the first two doors. Do not run. Walk as slowly as possible to get the "Law-Abiding Citizen" achievement. This can be your first trophy in the game. If you already completed this mission, you can replay it through mission select at any time (under the pause screen where you view the map and upgrade your character etc.). You can abort the mission after getting the achievement.
Easy "Praise The Run" achievement
Simply keep running in circles for two minutes without the focus bar decreasing to get the "Praise The Run" achievement.
