Help for Achievements "eh eh eh"

[Mccoy]

Has Someone reached the achievement "Eh Eh Eh"?
Please tell me: How ?

[Curious Duck]

There is no achievement named that...

[Mccoy]

No, There is ! Check better ! There's an image of a robot that dance. http://steamcommunity.com/stats/232790/achievements/

No one seems to know yet (or they haven't told anyone). From assumptions based on the comments on the achievement guide. It seems to be some secret wiring combination that makes a hexibot do Raz's (from Psychonauts) dance.

I've been trying to hunt for secret clues all day

[Curious Duck]

Ah I see. It's one those hidden achieves.

I imagine it's to do with a certain wire pattern.

[Mccoy]

Good suggestion. I'll try with different wiring combination.

[Curious Duck]

I am starting to think that the certain symbols that are shaded in have something to do with it.

Been looking into the "Eh eh-eh. eh eh, eh-eh" Achievement. I looked into the data.pck file of the game and found:

"WIREFB003GIRL  DanceFirst ) [LAUGHS] Yeah! You got some moves, girl!"

^This is what Vella says to her hexibot when you wire it up to dance.

"WIREVI003GIRL  Raz - That's her proud little rooster strut thing.  "
"WIREFB004GIRL  RazFirst 0 I'm not sure what that is, but she looks happy ..."

^this definitely looks like what will be said when you get the achievement to happen. Since the label has "WIRE" and "GIRL" like the first line, it's something tied to Vella's hexibot.

more looking, it looks like the hexipal on shay's side also will do the dance, and the dimond droog will mimic it.

Looking around I noticed the controls shay uses to rescue the helpless lifeforms look suspiciously like a pair of symbols for a hexipal wire. Could be a coincidence but maybe there are some others hidden in the environment somewhere.

I did get the achievement, but I'm not sure if this is randomized like some of the other puzzles in the game. So I'm not 100% sure if I actually solved it or just got lucky.

Anyway here are some hints to help others try to figure it out.

Hint 1: The achievement does require getting a certain wiring combination.

Hint 2: After setting the wires in the correct positions, but wrong order or direction, for any hexipal behavior (including this secret one), Shay/Vella will give hint dialogue indicating that the order or direction may be wrong.

Hint 3: I figured out the secret combination by working from the normal dance configuration(This is the config that Rocky, Vella's sister, sets near the end of the game)

Hint 4: Think about moving the entire hexipal in ways to maintain the dance configuration

My Solution: Starting with the normal dance config adjust the wires as if you were rotating the entire hexipal so that each point shifts two positions clockwise. The resulting configuration should give the achievement

Images of my solution: normal dance config: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=434566296
secret dance config: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=434566252
In both each image all wires start from the same point, but I'm not sure if these exact configurations are randomized per save file like some of the others or if you will need to apply my solution to your save's dance config

Got it from looking at DoomsDay1990's info, he is not 100% correct it just happened to work out for him.

Solution
Can't draw out the symbols with text but all wires start at the two triangles pointing left and right, blue ends at the triangles pointing up and down, yellow ends at the triangle split in three, red ends at the solid triangle pointing down.

that worked for me

[lieutenantkirtar]

Wow I'm an idiot, here's a picture of the symbols used in the Raz dance.

Thanks, that worked

Thanks, that worked! Did you find any hints about this in the game? Otherwise that would be a lot of combination to find this.

[TheLimeyDragon]

I still wonder how you are supposed to work it out, must be a clue somewhere.

[lieutenantkirtar]

I have a theory that you can find all the symbols for it in various backgrounds but so far I have only found one set sitting next to eachother.
