A Guide to the "Doing it the Hard Way" Achievement

How to get the Achievement

Be aware you can only get this achievement before you build the boom bot.

Proceed to the Plunder Room.

In the middle section to the right you will find two bot spawning points.

Follow the instructions:

1. Create a bot.
   
2. Give him the three whacks needed to get to edge.
   
3. Transform the bot into a springboard.
   
4. Create another bot and whack him over the springboard to the lower section.
   
5. Now turn the bot in a cannon and make the Trickshot as in the image. You shoud hear / see if you hit the rock
   
6. Whack the bot to the crates and turn him into a springboard.
   
7. Hop onto the crates, drop down and collect your loot.

Kaia Foglio from Girl Genius used four roller clanks to do this on her playthrough. it's on youtube if you want to watch it, but beware, she's also telling stories of how things got started and such so she rambles, and looses her place a time or two ;)

that is NOT how I did it lmao I complicated it WAY more. cause theres a teeny path where you can do something similar with the two clanks in the first section of the level and get another one to this same area, which allows you to use a spring clank to bounce one much closer to the rocks. except, well, getting a rollerclank from the first section is WAY harder and clumsier and basically requires constant repositioning of the block you can push around

Figured this one in my own first time through and was surprised when the achievement popped up
