Nightmare In North Point Completed

The final achievement on the Sleeping Dogs DLC was Cursed Gold (15G) for achieving all five gold awards of which killing 100 Jiang Shi and avoiding bites 100 times took a long time to do.

However, in completing the DLC the game itself is completed again until the next round of DLC and now is my 15th officially completed game which sparked a milestone on TA.
