I am pretty sure that giving your save file to someone else to do it for you is not really being a "completionist."

Whatever the reason you can't do it, you actually doing it is the point. Lots of other people have done it, so if that counts then you're already done with all of the achievements by proxy! Congrats!

Without the note I can't imagine I'd ever have gotten past it.
Hard difficulty doesn't remove any clues. Yeah, that one would be a bit unreasonable without the note.

I'm mechanically unable to do it. It's not a matter of skill or intelligence. The game just simply isn't working correctly for me, so it's impossible for me to complete it.

Mod Edit: Baiting.

Hey Guys,

This has been discussed many times, I've collected here pretty much everything regarding it! :)

Best bet is slightly adjusting you tactics, or if that fails a speed mod is an option. I to struggled with this door, but by moving before the blast dissipates I was able to do it, it should also be noted that being encumbered will prevent you succeeding, also some people have been able to succeed by reducing their graphics settings.

Videos, (these give a lot of help)

My own difficulties with this! (many useful hints)

Cheat Engine (use at own risk!)

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1688&hilit=speed&start=40#p18696

Fan made timer patch,(adjusting speed may cause other issues so only do this is you feel you must)

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1688&hilit=speed&start=40#p18684

One last thing to note, you don't have to get behind the door, it is for completionists only and isn't meant to be easy. (Personally I didn't find the items that useful for my party)

Good luck!

Daniel.
