How to unlock the Haruna matata achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

1.) In single player make it to the group called Loose Cannon.

2.) ts the only checkpoint event in this group - Event 4.

3.) Pick your car (i tried the twins Skyline GT-R NISMO Z-tune first but i felt like it had to must grip since this is a curvy course. I retried it with the Carver's Viper GTSR has a little more drift than the Skyline)

4.) You have to beat it in 20.0 sec for the 5 primary lights. dont worry about fans or the fan gates just go back after u 5light the event.

5.) You CAN HIT LIGHT POLES and lightly slide into guardrails ( i did by mistake a few times. this shouldn't cause any damage at all.) just keep an eye out on your cars damage if u see it go from a bright green to a light green u've take damage and you've failed it.

6.) just keep racing till you beat it. try to grab the nitros and as many stopwatches as you can. I saw the stopwatches more useful than nitros due to the hills and curves


it might take you a few tries just keep with it and you'll get it. i thought it would be hard to get but i was wrong.

I whacked the side rail pretty hard, but because i lost no health i was fine. On Easy with the Quattro i finished with 34secs going pretty slow. Very easy achieve.

I used the Skyline Z-tune and hit the walls a few times, still got it with ~35 to spare. Driving in 1st-person mode (press RB to switch) really helps.

i'd just like to add,i feel the ford FR-100 is made for this track,it's supposed to be very drifty but on this track it doesn't feel too bad,and you don't have the problem of jumping right over the top of the 3 stopwatches that are hidden behind the hills(in particular the first watch on the track,the one right after checkpoint 10 and the one right after checkpoint 11)even if your going flat out,just don't nitro at these points,most other cars require you to slow down to collect these watches,i did it on hard with just under 30 seconds left,just stay on the middle of the left hand side of the road going over the hill after checkpoint 10 and dead middle of the road after checkpoint 11,these are the easiest watches to miss

yeah, i smacked into a fair few walls and drove like a maniac.... still got it.

I would say that shannon's is deffo a better option than the skyline, though it is a bit drifty.

EASY cheevo, don't let the ration put you off

First before you try this make sure you have Shannons Opel, she is the final boss.

Ok now go to your options menu a change the difficulty to easy.

Go to Losse Cannon and chose the Mt.Haruna time trial. And chose Shannons Opel.

Grab as many clocks as you can and NEVER use a nitro over a hill or around turn.

I finished with 45 seconds left on easy it is really easy. Hope this helps

As Shaq Slam states, this is Single Player, Loose Cannon, Event 4. As Spartas Revenge says, this can be done on Easy difficulty. But he steers you wrong on car choice, and neither solution mentions where on the track you need to be extra-careful not to damage your car.

About midway down the mountain you'll go over a long straight bridge that leads into a tunnel curving left. It's the hairpin right turn after this tunnel, and then the very next hairpin left after the next tunnel, where you should be extra cautious. Turn early and ease up on the throttle — you might even use the cn_LT BRAKE — to avoid crashing into these walls and damaging your vehicle.

Now, Spartas Revenge's solution implies you should have Shannon's Astra Extreme unlocked before even attempting this achievement; that is complete nonsense. The Opel Astra Extreme is a great car I use in multiplayer more often than any other car in Class A, but specifically for this achievement the Renault Mégane Trophy is PERFECT. This super-grippy car is glued to the pavement, and is very easy to control with no wild tendencies... unlike Astras which can get unexpected air, and are also quite slippery despite their "grippy" designation, particularly Shannon's!

The Mégane Trophy and some careful braking make this achievement a cinch, especially when playing on Easy where you have more than enough time.

You unlock the Mount Haruna Checkpoint in the Loose Cannon stage. It is the 4th race in the stage. You want to stick with a high grip car and stick to the road on this one. Only use nitrous on the very long straight sections. Don't use it after gate 7/12 because the road starts to have a lot of dips and jumps in it. It is okay if you bump into a guard rail or hit light poles, just don't slam into a guard rail head or wall head on. The best car to use is after you have completed the final One-on-One race in the Single Player. This will unlock the Opel Astra Extreme which has a very high Acceleration, Speed, and Grip rating. Go through the corners smoothly and this should be no trouble at all with the Opel Astra Extreme.

Easy trophy.

Just set the difficulty to easy and drive, stopping at every turn, collecting Stopwatches. There's enough time. You must arrive first, meaning you must have 20 seconds or more to spare.

You can touch the fences, the main thing is that the vehicle status bar is full

I just received it, collect nitro and use it on straight sections of the road, if you hit it a little, “shuffled” the wall, then it’s okay, they gave me a trophy.

There won’t be enough time to stop at turns, that’s for sure.
