You can do both this achievement and Musician's path in the same playthrough if you are clever about it.

First get the key from the locked house, you will first need to find the Village south of the Silent Forest.

Get a chain, you can buy a chain from traders or you can find one in the building south of the Chicken Lady's house that is to the southeast of the village.

Use the chain on the working well in the village, its in the southwest.

Go into the well and navigate north through the maze down there, a red chomper is there, be careful.

Exit the area into the locked house, the key is there somewhere.

Now you need to know how the autosave system works:

It autosaves when you exit a conversation, exit the Oven in your hideout, if you die or enter a new area.

So: Go to the wolf, talk to him and exit the conversation to Save.

Talk to him again and give him the key and sloooowly and carefully read his conversation until the achievement pops. DO NOT exit the conversation.

Alt-F4 outta there once the achievement pops. (Close the window or force quit somehow, this is to prevent the autosave)

Reload your game and now you are free to give the key to the musician.

You want to give the key to the musician instead so you can have access to the achievements: Willpower and Entertainer.

You DO need two playthroughs because of the two different ways to escape the forest, so, maybe you dont want to do this hassle afterall :3

Cheers!

Here's a video of how I got it, do mute it since I cheered loudly at the end of this.

It was pretty hard for me to get it. You better be so good at timing your attacks and dodges.

Actually, you can bring your best weapons and even armor to the fight.

Its pretty simple, before giving all your stuff to the assistant, drop the items you want to use in the fight inside the arena.

I suggest you bring 4 bear traps and put them around key spots you think they will be useful, Im my run, The wolfman got caught in one and I hacked him to death with my axe. Bring a lantern too, you need to see, I dont know if its possible since I thought of this after I got it, but dropping meat around MIGHT distract the two wolves.

After you have your arena set up, give your stuff to the assistant and return to the arena, the fight wont start until you get the Gift from the wolfman, so use this time to pick your stuff, equip yourself and setup your hotkeys.

The dogs are not that hard to fight off, just back away from them and chop them with your axe, timing is important.

The wolfman has a rifle, having light armor helps a lot to survive his bullets, hide behind the pillars in the room.

At some point, the wolfman will be on the ground, still alive.. do the merciless thing and finish him off to get this achievement.

Dont forget to get his Assault Rifle, he dropped it after he ran out of bullets, its somewhere in the Arena.

Cheers!
