Achievements gotten through regular gameplay


Often happens to enemies when using a missile weapon.


Get 100 Ankhs for a 1-UP


Lightning Guards sometimes beg for their life and play dead. They get back up and start shooting you shortly afterwards so be less trigger happy in order to get this achievement.


Best done in more vertical areas. It doesn't matter how high you are because being on top of an enemy will damage them.


God Mode shoots orbs which home in and chain kill enemies. If you do it on a bigger group you should get this easily.


If you hold down the fire button in Dog Mode, you start charging a bark blast and if you hold it long enough, it destroys everything in a wide area. Easy to land on a group of enemies.


The Flamewall shoots a missile on the ground which turns into a wall of fire going forwards. Line up enemies in a row and shoot from a ways back to get this.


Split Missile splits into two homing rockets at 45 degree angles after you release the fire button. Each of the two rockets has to land and kill two different enemies so it has to be lined up carefully.


Holding down the fire button with the Excalibat charges up and releases a wide hitting explosive pitcher move. Note that you can kill the enemies separately so just keep using it continually in a level in order to get it.


Get the Firebomb and Asbestos armor first. Then push against the side of a wall and shoot down in order to rocket jump without dying.


Pick up Shrooms Mode then gib an enemy with a missile or other weapon. Possibly the earliest level where you can find Shrooms is in "The HUNT Begins - E1A3: The Fourth Door"

Achievements you get by progressing through the Episodes normally



Make sure not to skip the credits after you finish "The HUNT Begins"!





Achievements for killing the end of episode bosses in "Dark War"


Fought in E1B7; In the middle of the room he presses a number of switches so you need to shoot into the center room to destroy the switches. He then opens the door and comes out. If you manage to get the Asbestos armor in his room, the rockets he shoots barely damage you so it should be an easy fight if you get it.


Fought in E2B7; Krist fires rockets and discs at you. Use circle strafing and dipping in and out behind cover for this boss.


Fought in E3B7; The Nasty Metallic Enforcer fires homing rockets, discs, drunk missiles and a volley of fireballs. Make sure to move constantly, searching the arena for as many resources as possible and avoid getting cornered since this boss is no joke.



El Oscuro has three boss levels for the entire fight, E4A7, E4A9 and E4A10. In E4A7, the strategy for this boss is to avoid shooting him because he retaliates with a similar attack if you shoot him. You wait until he turns into a snake and runs off. In E4A9, you just chase him through the level as the title suggests. But E4A10 is where the real fight is.

• To get the bad ending and the A Bad Egg achievement, you have to kill El Oscuro as normal in the arena in the middle without destroying all the eggs in the level. (El Oscuro can only be damaged when it's over a firepit.)
  
• To get the good ending and the I Hate Snakes achievement, you have to kill all the eggs in the level, which are all located in three separate rooms throughout the final level. Eggs can be destroyed by bullets as well as other weapons.
  
• To get to the third egg room, you have to go touchpad hunting in the central arena to open the firewall door. You then face a small wall. You either have to have the Flight powerup enabled and fly over the wall, or use the nearby FireBomb and Asbestos armor to look down, fire at your feet and rocket jump. There's then a pushwall behind it to get to the third room with the remaining eggs as well as monks to deal with.

Secret Exits, Secret Items and more Secret Achievements.


Best done in a small level. The game only will tell you if you got everything on the level results screen so be thorough.


Prelude To A Kill

The first secret exit in the game does not have an achievement attached to it. In E1A1 of "The HUNT Begins" there is an elevator behind a push block at the beginning of the level that only opens after 3 minutes on the clock. It also closes after 5 minutes so get there quickly. In the elevator room, there's a sequence with GADs and switches which opens up a side room in the elevator area which leads to the secret exit.
The secret exit leads to three bonus levels from "The HUNT Begins Deluxe Edition"





Found in E1A3 - The Fourth Door of "The HUNT Begins". In the final room with the exit, there's a touchpad on the ground behind some barrels which opens a side room. Get past the numerous traps to get to the secret exit.


Found in E1A3 - Burned and Amazed. In approximately the bottom right corner of the map, you find a jump pad into a flying powerup. Use the powerup to fly over nearby spike traps, over a pillar, fire and other traps to get to the secret exit.


Found in E2A5 - Rocky Plateau. This level is a pain in the neck but the secret exit makes it easier. The secret exit is opened via touchpad in the north part of the map in an open area nearby the GAD lift. It opens a side path in the middle area to the secret exit.


Found in E3A6 - Movin' Walls. Right on the tile before the exit door, there's a touchplate that opens up a nearby secret with another touchplate which opens another nearby section. In the area that the last pushwall opened up, there's another pushwall with a Godmode powerup which you need to survive the massive amounts of pits on the path and to get through a group of enforcers guarding the secret exit.


Found in E4A4 - Diamonds & Rust. At the end of the level, there's two big rooms shaped like triangles. In the top area you find a trigger to open the top right and top left corner. In the top right, you pick up Asbestos Armor and run to the left corner and pick up the Firebomb in order to get through a pathway of fireballs and blade traps. You then have to rocket jump over a small wall to reach the secret exit.



Found in E2A6 - The Four-Way Chamber. Close to the beginning of the level, to the right of the triangle room there's a secret pushwall which opens up to a hazardous path which leads a small room with a bunch of Ankhs. You have to step on one of the touchpads in the path in order to make the room accessible as well. There's another pushwall inside which leads to the red Oscuro Key. Later in the level you see a small room with a Red door which has the Developer Ball inside.


Found in E3A3 - Dead in Five Seconds. Take the right path at the beginning of the level to reach a small maze. In the top right corner of the maze, there is a pushwall close to a Ballistikraft which leads to a hazardous section with fire pillars. There are a few safe spots to stand but it is very hard to avoid taking damage unless you have a powerup like Asbestos Armor or God Mode. The Developer Ball is at the end of the path.


Found in E4A6 - Circles of Fire. Relatively soon into the level, you get to a room with three torches in the middle. In the middle of the room there's a touch pad and after you activate it, the fire walls close off the entrance so you have to quickly run back out before they close. Backtrack to an earlier room which now has an opening to a room with a lot of Ankhs and an open wall with the last Developer Ball.


Found in E2A3 - The Room. In an area with a Flight powerup, a bunch of spikes and a switch, there's a jump pad leading to a catwalk that drops off to Bulletproof Armor and two extra lives. On the catwalk you can walk into a specific part of the sky which won't kill you and leads to a secret area with Scott's head. Use the automap to find the passage.


The next two achievements require cheats, so type in "DIPSTICK" during normal gameplay to enable them and then type in GOTO to access a level select.


Each campaign has unique Warp Only levels so choose whichever one you'd like for this achievement.


Go to "E5A3 - This Causes an Error!" and wait for something glorious.


And that's it! I hope this helps as I wanted this to be easily digestible while not being too cumbersome.
Whether old fans or new, this is a pretty nice port so it deserves a decent guide.
