Complete without dying?

[TskR Illusion]

I just got the game and saw the achievement for not dying in the forest etc and I was wondering does the game tell you if you have completed a level without dying or do you have to go through them 1 by 1 until you have done every mission?

You have to beat all 20 levels in one run without dying.The order of the levels doesn't matter and characters like Steve and Meat Ninja disable the Achievment and the Leaderboards

This seems helpless :/ I wont probably attempt this unless I do everything else and want to.

Yeah,the achievments are really hard but i think the forest light world in manageable

Yeah I reckon it is. It would be the first one I would try if I get that far.

The first two light worlds and maaaaybe the salt factory are accessible to anybody. Frustrating, but doable. The rest require a lot of patience, planning, and dexterity.

You can look at it as a 'grind', which is what I did. People who speed run video games practice and practice for weeks and months on end—planning their routes, and their execution. Then, they apply it by grinding out runs until they get a run they are satisfied with.

You should unlock all characters or at least what you can. Next step is to look at videos of people doing it as they will often have an easier route than you might think of, finally pick your worst levels first you can exit to map no problem but dont exit world or change light/dark. Also if you just want the achievement you can switch character/exit to map if you are about to die and try again, it's kind of an abuse but it's up to you if you want to use it.

The character thing is important captain viridian for instance is one of the best characters for no death runs in ways that often arent obvious. He makes brimstone boy trivial completeing about 19 of the 20 with no risk if i remember right

I haven't really tried any of the no-death achievements except light forest (ages ago) and I recall it being pretty easy, actually. Just start at level 10-15 or so and after you've beaten the last ones start at level 1.

it's easy when you master the levels

I use a controller but I believe I did a fair amount of the game with keyboard.

Yeah my controller is bad so I have to use the keyboard at the moment :/.

I used a keyboard for everything in this game. I do own a gamepad, but I don't like using it for most 2D games. It might stem from the fact that I played a ton of emulated games with the keyboard, so I got used to it.

Now, I actually find a keyboard more accurate than a gamepad by a lot. Maybe not as comfortable, but definitely more accurate.

I use keyboard too, same as Otterpoppins played alot of emulated stuff. I would say keyboard is better for naija but otherwise just use what's more comfortable. I would say as well that you should probably try to pass at least everything up to light cotton alley and dark the end exclusive before going for no deaths, you will unlock characters and learn techniques that will help you without driving you crazy.

On a difficulty scale I would put the achievements something like this though this is a personal approximation:

Achievement ---- is as difficult as:
Wood boy ---- Passing light hospital in any number of lives
Needle boy ---- Passing light hell in any number of lives
Salt boy ----- Passing dark salt factory in any number of lives
Brimstone boy ----- passing light salt in any number of lives (but this presumes you have all legal characters except kid which is 90 bandages)
Dead boy --- pass light hell in any number of lives.

Rapture requires a good knowledge of game mechanics and all the dark world ones are harder I think except squirrel boy is about on par with salt boy.

Last thing I will say is don't be afraid to use other characters, I made the game much harder on myself first playthrough cos I only learned Meat boy

Yeah I only used meat boy up until Rapture I think where you have to float around then I just wanted to beat it.

Of course since cotton alley is restricted learning meat boy helps alot but for something like 4-8x with bandage headcrab is ridiculously easy in comparison
