heads up, didn't trigger for me on the msu-1 version, the achievement still shows as active when you're fighting D-Rex which I assume expected me to kill too? but of course, he obliterated me. Switching to the regular rom gave me the achievement upon entering the room

Holy shit, that was intense. I liked it! Good work on this cheevo.

Easy achievement to obtain just don't pick up any health pickups and/or use special weapons fully armored its a cake walk

I was doing this achievement and didnt remembered that the page fell down some days ago, so the emulator didnt registered it :(

EZ !

I tried, no HP recover and also only buster but its not triggering. Cheats are allowed, like infinite health?

Hint: Disable L and R buttons in Snes9x Input Configuration window.

After several days, a few hours and a lot of patience I managed to get this achievement. The one that gave me the most work was the blessed Octopus, which took a good part of life and almost couldn't reach Mammoth.
Incredibly, I reached him with just two health traces and managed to defeat him, finally!

For those struggling with Sting Chameleon, if he goes into the middle of the arena, jump above his tongue strike and he will move to his next phase. Almost got him damage less but got hit by a few roof spikes but they only do a unit of damage each (with the chest upgrade).
I found not jumping for Launch Octopus helped his section, other than jumping for a charged shot when he finishes his whirlpool tornado attack.

the hardest part for me was surprisingly not one of the bosses, but rather the section between octopus and mammoth

Lugero 31 May 2024 05:47

It's was not as hard as i thought, even with Launch Octopus giving me a bit of trouble
Just watch out for the life energies

all achievements from specific challenges in specific stages allow a password, the only ones that prohibit are achievements such as beating the game without an upgrade, without dying, only buster

Olafur 19 Jun 2024 21:55

also keep in mind, this is Sigma Fortress 3 and I don't think you can password all the way there, you'll have to start from Sigma Fortress 1. Not that long but yeah, can't password all the way there

My favourite cheevo from this set. Nice sense of accomplishment walking through that door to D-Rex.

This one is much easier than doing perfect on launch octopus. The chameleon is the only one who is actually annoying. The Armadillo you can use the normal buster without charging because it wont active his reflect attack. Mandrill is easy if you dodge the energy balls and his punches, if he is hanging on the roof, don't walk under him, use dash jump before his hitbox to jump across, use dash and normal shot without charging to do double damage on mandrill and mamooth if you want to speed up things. The Octopus is pretty easy since you can get some hits. Just try to dodge some stings when the chameleon hangs up and stay away when he goes down because the tongue attack is annoying. Just be careful along the way to don't get hit too many times by mobs and to don't get any healing itens by accident. If you have trouble with the octopus, use charged buster to destroy his missiles and dash under him. You can also hit him when he gets out of the tornado attack with the charged buster. After trying more than 100 times to do perfect on him, it becomes a lot easier. if he uses the simple missiles, your green charged buster will destroy enough to you don't get a hit, the chasing fishes are more annoying but you can destroy 2 and dash jump the other two. Don't get too close of octopus or he will hit you too much. Mandrill, Mamooth and Armadillo are easy to beat without getting hit. Just be careful to not lose too much HP on Chameleon and Octopus. I made it on my first try. And remember, YOU CAN'T LOSE LIFES ON THE STAGE, IF YOU DIE 1 SINGLE TIME IT WILL NOT TRIGGER THE ACHIEVEMENT.

This isn't so bad once you know how to handle Chameleon Sting. I posted the strategy for him in the damageless achievement's comments: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/2221 Keep in mind, since this achievement is buster only, unlike Cut the Camouflage, you'll need to use pause buffering to reliably dodge his "thorn rain" attack, as I mentioned there. I recommend mapping one of your controller's triggers to Start in Retroarch; you'll be able to pause more easily.

Aside from that:

- Whenever Spark Mandrill lands on the ground, wait a moment, then hit him with a charged buster shot (it doesn't matter if it's a level 1, 2, or 3 charge; it just needs to be charged). If he tries to do his "tackle" attack, he'll be knocked out of it - as long as you waited. If you didn't, the shot might hit him *before* he initiates an attack, and if he decides to tackle you then, you're going to get hit.

- As mentioned above by others, it's best to enter Launch Octopus's arena with a fully charged buster, and then release the button during the boss intro scene. This will immediately and guaranteeably destroy the missiles he sends at you. After that, jump over him as soon as you can, and then always, *ALWAYS* keep your distance from him, mashing the buster as much as you can. When he does his "whirlpool tornado" attack, you can jump and get a free charge shot in, if you memorize the timing.

- Flame Mammoth might as well be free. Just keep your distance and jump over or dash under him as necessary, and remember that your attacks won't hit him if he's off screen.

Ah eu finalmente consegui essa conquista foi demoranda mas eu conseguir

Jedisplays 11 Feb 2025 14:05

Para facilitar o desafio, o melhor é coletar todos os Heart Tanks para aumentar sua vida máxima e a armadura do peito para diminuir o dano pra 50%.

Segue o video de como consegui completar o desafio de forma fácil: https://youtu.be/6PbxV9JY214

Just use the same strategies you used when doing the boss no-hits and this shouldn't be too difficult of a challenge.

Launch Octopus is easily dealt with after destroying his arms. Once you do that, switch to Buster (do not use his weakness) as lemon spam will deal with the low missile while allowing you to damage him. See my boss no-hit video for Launch Octopus for what it looks like.
