Here's a quick guide on the easiest way I found to get these two achievements:

Untouchable - Complete a level without taking any damage in typing of the dead
Mad Motor Fingers - Complete a hardcore level without taking damage in typing of the dead


Notes
After completing the game twice on normal mode (solo and coop) I still had not achieved the "Untouchable" achievement.
This guide assumes:
  • You can touch type or type at a fast speed
  • You have completed the game once to unlock hardcore mode
  • You can turn the difficulty down to Agent for these
[/list]
Level
Upon starting my hardcore playthrough I found that it was easy to get both of these during the first level "Papa's Palace of Pain".

What to do
Essentially the benefit of doing it on hardcore is when you miss a letter or press an incorrect key the word resets to a brand new word, this means you can then speed through the new word instead of trying to figure out what you have missed.
What I found during the normal playthrough is if I missed a letter and was looking at the next word to type I would then take damage as I had wasted too much time.

What to look out for
One thing to look out for is during the boss stage if you see something being thrown you can press an incorrect letter to reset the word you were typing and then get rid of the letter, that way you can ensure no damage is taken.

Hopefully this helps, it's also my first guide so please be gentle and I will try and add screenshots when I have more time :D

Got pretty close to finishing the first level without damage, but once in the basement after a few rooms, I started mistaking which zombie would attack first and would get tied up deciding to finish the phrase/word or cancel and go for the other one. Jasper would've hit me as well with the quick-time presses but realized pretty quick I could wait for the wind-up so not bad at all.

The easiest way for Mad Motor Fingers and Untouchable is the X dictionary and the second level. The 2n boss can softened with X two thirds down. It then takes only 3-4 normal length words for the last sliver of health ... less stressful than Jaspar, the first boss fight.

Got untouchable on the first level I played after first starting the game, mad motor fingers is too rage inducing. Managed to get to the boss of the first level on hardcore without taking any damage, got the boss to like 1% health, then got hit. End me

Hi, Could I translate these guide into Chinese?

I know a very easy way, but it is a little bit unfair:
There is a costum dictionary with only the letter "x".

Use this. Then you can kill all ordinary zombies mutants with one letter. In the first level, there are no other enemies than ordinary zombies mutants, so you only have to worry about the boss. But even the boss is easy, because you can make damage with every letter...
Its really easy this way.
