"Time Paradox" Achievement - Question

[Ferretom]

If you die in the past, do you get another chance to play from that point, or does your run complete?

Just curious - I want the achievement, but so far I've managed not to die in any of the character's past boss fights.

If you die in a past your current run is over and you have to start a new one to get to the past again - if that was your question and i didn't misread anything.

edit:
I died on my first past (pilot), never died on any other past and replaying the marine/pilot again after beating the past never ended with a death so far.

If you beat the boss, you can't get the achievement; if you get the achievement, you can't win the run. The achievement is a consolation prize.

Wow, harsh! Good to know. Thanks for the answer, guys. :)

Follow up question - would this achievement become locked if I finished all four character pasts without earning it? As I understand, once you've done that it replaces those segments with a Sixth Chamber.

The achievement won't be locked, the sixth chamber is optional (after you've been to it once). You can just redo the past and intentionally die
It's a pretty horrible criteria for an achievement tbh

You should be able to still get it.

As i figured out recently (thanks to someone here on the discussions) only the walk to bullet hell is mandatory.

If you went to bullet hell one time you can avoid going there and replay the pasts as often as you like.

The only thing bothering me right now is the fact that the game wouldn't let me to bullet hell in a blessed run but i've beaten all four pasts and been to bullet hell twice in normal runs - so no idea what was "wrong" in the blessed run.
