COWARD: How Rare Is It
What this page helps you decide: whether COWARD is worth going after, and how far into the game's difficulty curve it sits
COWARD is held by 6.6% of everyone who has played SILENT BREATH on Steam — about one player in 15. That makes it the 9th hardest of the game's 32 achievements. Steam lists no description for it, and we are not inventing one. Below: how it compares with the achievements either side of it, where the real difficulty wall in this game sits, and what the percentage does and does not tell you.
How rare this actually is
6.6% of everyone who has played SILENT BREATH on Steam has this one, which is about one player in 15. That puts it 9th hardest of the 32 achievements in the game. 8 achievements are rarer, and 23 are more common. For scale, the most common achievement in the game sits at 64.5% and the rarest at 0.1% — a spread of roughly 645 times between the two ends. The median achievement sits at 14.4%, so this one is in the harder half.
What sits either side of it
Just above it is I'M A VEGETARIAN at 7.4% (about 1 in 14). That one asks you to survive against butcher. Just below it is FRESH MEAT at 6.5% (about 1 in 15). The step between them is 1x in players-per-unlock terms, which is the real measure of how much further you have to go.
Steam does not say what this one needs
The Steam achievement list gives COWARD a name and a completion percentage, but no description. 4 of the 32 achievements in this game are the same way. We are not filling that gap with a guess: any site that tells you exactly how to unlock it is either quoting an in-game hint we cannot verify, or making it up. What the 6.6% does tell you is how many players have found it anyway — about 1 in 15 — so it is reachable, just undocumented.
Where the difficulty really jumps
The sharpest drop in the whole list is between STORY UNTOLD (0.5%) and FINAL ACT (0.1%) — completion falls by about 5x in a single step. That is where most players stop. This achievement sits before that wall, so it is part of what most players do finish.
Step-by-Step
- Note that Steam documents no requirement for this one — treat any step-by-step you find elsewhere as unverified.
- Set expectations from the number: at 6.6%, roughly one player in 15 gets there.
- If you clear this, FRESH MEAT at 6.5% is the next wall.
