Intro and spoiler warning
This is a missable achievement that fans of adventure games of old will recognize right away...this was done back when I've started the game just to give a quick tip but I've also completed a full walkthrough for every achievement if you need it: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3528105151

Please note that there's mild spoilers for the end of chapter 1.
How to get the achievement
At the end of Chapter 1, after a scene at the jetty, you'll find yourself underwater and in quite a predicament.



Getting the achievement is quite simple! Once you're on the screen above all you have to do is leave the game alone for ten minutes and the achievement will pop!

Explanation and reference
The achievement references the first Monkey Island game, where the protagonist Guybrush Threepwood could hold his breath for ten full minutes, he's even in the image for it!



If you actually waited for ten minutes in an underwater scene in that game he'd actually die btw.

@BoonMike when I saw the achievement list I thought of this first section from the demo and indeed it worked :D

Ah, I was wondering if you could get this in chapter 1. I got it during the final chapter when you fall into a pool of water again.
