For anyone reading now, the achievement has been fixed. If for whatever reason it still doesn't work after a death, hookshot onto the platform immediately after entering the door. That should work.

It's still bugged. I died, saved, never fell off the platform or used fairies and got it 2nd try but the achievement never popped. so yeah it's bugged still.

The solution from Alexbubble is working, if you saved the game after dying, use the hookshot soon after you enter the room, it's working this way!

I just saved right after the boss fight thinking I got this achievement, apparently not because I didn't soft reset.. RIP

just one more time confirming immediately hookshoting works

Another confirmation that hookshotting from the doorway works.

As the boss fight has already started, running up to the platform means you touch the ground around it and counts as "falling".

Confirming still working after hookshotting to the top (was really worried I'd have to do some save editing, turns out there's no save editor for Bizhawk's save format)

If the hook strategy works

So... wait, because I didn't know that I need to hookshot when I enter the door, I didn't get this achievement during my 3-heart run? Seems like something that should be explained in the achievement... I didn't fall off during my fight!

I agree I it should be in the title but as long as you don't save and reload your save and do the hookshot trick it popped just fine. Plus this boss fight is easy once you get the idea of it.

you can use Faries but cant be game overed and then be revived by it

shit so nowi have to redo the entire game again? Since the hookshot method isnt working for me

ToastLover 17 May 2025 17:30

I don't understand, I did everything and no pop. After reading through the comments I suppose me not getting the achievement is solely on me because once again I decided to trust the description and meet its requirements. I shouldn't have to go to the comments on what to specifically do to get the achievement, when I read the description I expect for it to unlock upon meeting all requirements listed in the description. This set is making an already tiresome game even more tiresome and tedious. Like I can understand as an achievement dev if the issue at hand was the result of non-working logic, but no this is strictly miscommunication my guy. So now I have to complete the game all over again, that's real nice man, really fucking nice.

kind of blows that the achievement is still like this after like. 8 years? on the set of what's probably one of the most beloved and replayed retro games? the hookshot method that alexbubble posted didn't work for me either, so idk. respect to the devs, i can't complain about the moderm miracle that is RA, just hoping this set gets an update someday
