The firefly at the narrow passage is your worst problem here...

the best thing about this BAD ASS achievement is that if you get a load a checkpoint after hitting a fly you still have to reload the whole level again. so close to making this achievement "ok"

the thing is dying and starting from the beginning of the level is ok its only dying and spawning from checkpoints

I abused the ability to stand on the scenery edge at times to get around pits. Most edge scenery can be stood on if you do a slide jump. The fireflies are easy to dodge if you jump around them like this when there's not much room. Otherwise, just hug the wall and scoot on by. Their hitbox is smaller than one would think. All in all, I'd say it requires more patience than anything.

I hit a fly and killed myself to the last checkpoint but the achievement didn't work? Not sure if that's a glitch or the description of this achievement just doesn't say anything about not dying for the whole level.

You can die and spawn in at checkpoints as much as you like as long as you don't touch a firefly after leaving the starting platform.

If you do touch one, you have to spawn in at the starting platform to get the achievement to reset. Exiting the level completely or dying without having opened a checkpoint are the only two ways to do this.

If you did either and it still didn't work, then yeah, that's an achievement bug.

tough one have not tried it. have a back up save here. even turn brightness up does not help lol

blackrook29 21 Sep 2023 14:18

tedious, but done it. tips i can give is hop and hug the side slide jump and trial n error where some pits are for most part you can jump zig zag purple shroom to shroom. the last fire fly in the narrow path just hug the side or crawl dont slide jump it will latch on.

It felt really bad when I got all the way to the end and picked up the firefly out out of habit.

I thought the first one was a pain in the balls but one of these firefly's is ridiculously easy to pick up accidentally. It's just annoying lol

Dumbass achievement. There needs to be a way to not allow achievements like these in the main game. The best method of doing this can literally get you stuck in the wall which means you have to exit to warp room and start all over. Either that or roll the dice by guessing where the holes are all throughput the stage.

Very tough but doable.

As others have said, the glowing mushrooms are your biggest friends, however most of the scenery on either side of the track is standable. You can avoid all enemies hopping from ledge to ledge.

You can accidentally jump into the death route if you do go with this strat. Not impossible to do but it's harder (obviously) than the normal route, so stick to the right after the first checkpoint until you hit the fork in the road to avoid this.

The second-to-last firefly is the most annoying thing about this achievement as it is so tough to avoid that late on in the run. Slide jumping from the right side (on the raised ledge) but even then the jump can be tight. With how the achievement works collecting this means a full restart about 80% through the challenge - and there's no checkpoint beyond it so you have to avoid it every time you die from that point onwards.

Think the cheevo would be better if you could die and it wouldn't count that firefly but I understand that would likely lead to people doing 80% of the run with fireflies, getting a checkpoint, and then dying to prime the cheevo and cheesing it though unless some serious coding trickery was done.

Another stinker but take advantage of jumping on either of the terrain on the far right and far left and just wiggle your way around the level so you try to avoid the pits, also for the last checkpoint firefly you can avoid him by hugging the rightside of the wall and sneak by
