Blackbird Pie Achievement Reported glitch At the end of this chapter, complete a rhythm sequence to unlock the Blackbird Pie achievement. Hit every note correctly to make all the birds explode.

- If Fiona coughs, stop pressing buttons; you’ll need to restart the sequence.
- If you fail, the cutscene will restart, letting you try again.
The button prompts use Xbox labels, but if you’re on keyboard and mouse, they’ll show as WASD.
Note: Some players report a glitch where the final bird doesn’t explode or count, which may prevent the achievement from unlocking.
