Castle Crashers Remastered

You can avoid the death timer by having the other 3 people leave the game it's always player 4 that ends up in the glitch spot.

Thanks for tip! I will put it in the solution

I don't think they'll patch at this point. This needs to be the top solution. Easiest method

hi! can i play online with a friend and a second controller??

I suppose you can, but keep in mind that you have to survive a while to avoid the death timer.

Still works! Even recorded a video of it for anyone who wants to see.

Thanks, +1

Just unlocked at 8/3/17
This glitch just worked for me, I had one friend get lucky and get in the spot and had other two leave and I just hopped around and counted for me when I was 2:25 and he was 2:31

Thank you! I did this solo by streaming the game to my Windows 10 PC via the Xbox PC app and connecting 4 controllers (2 Xbox 360 & 2 XB1). Once my characters were down to the last 2, I jumped about with my non-glitch one and eventually made it to 3 minutes.

Thanks for the feedback. I have replaced it with a link to an upload on google plus :P

This worked well. I didn't bother quitting out, but it took a while to get to the right snowy map.

This still works as of 1/27/2019

+1 from me. I've done it with 2 consoles and 4 controllers. 3 dummy accounts on one console and me alone on the other. This way, once the good stage is reached, the 3 accounts can quit and I'm left alone without the kill timer. That is how to do it alone easily without even trying to survive if you are fortunate enough to have 2 consoles and 4 controllers.

Worked perfectly! It took awhile to find the right map, but when I did I signed the other three controllers out and waited. Popped with zero issue.

Does anyone have a copy of the picture now that google+ is gone?

I still have the screenshot, so I have uploaded it to a different site. Let's see how long this one will last.

Argh! I keep earning this achievement and it keeps unlocking on various other accounts. I am going to have to try my main account with three guests all part of my account.

Works great, got in the spot as the 4th player and the other 3 just quit out.

Worked to perfection, thanks very much

Yeah, I'd say getting that glitched map as the 4th player, and then having everyone else quit the match is the way to go. Just got it done, I was the 4th, the other 3 players left right at the start, and I just sat there for the 2:30 and it popped.

Confirmed this still works in March 2020.
"People" literally, you can't seem to be able to do this with 4 controllers, you need humans.

I was able to get it to work with four local controllers.
Signed in a second account, went to online multiplayer, signed in two guests of the second account, signed in the account I wanted the achievement on as the fourth player, changed the lobby to public. Kept playing until we got the snow level and my account glitched into the water. Signed out my second account.

FYI. It didn’t happen the first time I got the snow level. Hope it helps someone else.

I will try it, thanks!

Raptor 2000 solution worked for me. Thanks!

Great solution raptor 2000, worked great

Added Raptor's comment to the solution ;)

My last one. Been putting this off since 2013 haha. Thanks.

Got it thanks to you, THANK GOD YES!!!

I unlocked it with one account, 3 guests, once the main was in the right spot, sign out the guests and wait till you hit the required time, then die. The main account has to be in the 4th slot when you start the local game.

Thank you! Works great.

if the host leaves (the first player) the entire game ends so... htf do you have it set up like that?

Okay, found out how... YOU SIGN OUT...

Did it locally with 3 accounts and 1 guest. I had the guest launch the game at the dashboard.

Literally use the controller with the gamertag you want the achievement for as the 4th player you do this by pressing A after all the other slots have been filled.

Once you get to that snow map and the 4th player (the one you want the achievement for) is in the water start using the other controllers to sign out of their accounts so only the 4th player is left and just wait until after 2:30.

god bless tna, er, i mean ta! everyone knows tna is blessed... still works 7/5/2020

Still works, thank you. Took ~20 tries to get the right map so dont get discouraged :)

I can confirm that the three guests and main account profile method still works at time of writing.

As for my grind to unlock this achievement, I just keep deliberately playing poorly until the correct level popped up and then signed out the three guest accounts.

As it felt to me, based on my playthroughs for this achievement, creating a match and then instantly exiting the game due to not randomly spawning the desired level; reset some sort of timer / gauges that would cycle through a map playlist.

Hardest part is just getting the map and the glitch

I need help boosting this achievements mssg me

Still works as of Nov 8, 2021

Still works as of today, June 5, 2022. This will probably continue to work and potentially always will work on the xbox one remastered version of the game. It might not work on future versions(as in different remasters) if they make future versions of the games.

I couldn't use the controller cheat (only have 3). So I tried for hours and hours and hours learning the maps, getting a feel for the button mashing... thing that cracked it for me is pausing after every move. It's not full proof you still have to aware of routes and not to get trapped, but it was very effective for me, and I got it 3rd attempt with this method.

Still works as of Dec 14th, 2022. Thanks Un Subject for the detailed writeup!

Funciona el método de cerrar seción en todos los perfiles

Still working as of August 2023. Thank God. No way in hell could I have pulled this off legit.

Still working as of December 2023.

Got it for all 4 of us using this. The 4th person got the glitched spot, and the other 3 of us survived till about 2:20. When the death timer killed #4 too, we all got the achievement. Thanks!

External image no longer loads, but worked a treat. I did it local with 4 controllers, 4 profiles, and had the achievement-getter as player 4, had the other 3 profiles sign out and idle in the glitch spot. Achievement unlocked just after the 2:30 mark.

If you can fix up the external image, it'd sure help to see which is the right stage.

As of 15/11/20, this spot still works. Just be patient with the map rotations and eventually you will get the correct map.

Can confirm that still works at of April 26 2021 just sign in you main account and 3 guest/accounts and once you have player 2 and 3 in you can back out your main then log in player 4 in the first slot and change your main into slot 4

Still working as of August 2022 on Xbox One.

To spell out the process to do this solo using the glitch:

1) You'll need four controllers (and something to watch to pass the time).

2) Start a game of Back Off Barbarian.

3) Sign in all your controllers on either main or guest accounts. Your 'main profile' (the one you started the game with) will be in position 1.

4) Hit the B button to drop out your main account from the game start screen, then put one of the other accounts there by pressing the A button. (You might have to hit B button on one of your non-main controllers to make them available.)

5) Make sure your main account / the account you want to get this achievement is in fourth position.

6) You need to wait for the snow level where the glitch happens to appear. It's probably about 20 to 30 seconds between maps if you do nothing and let everyone die. The snow map you need will come up in a rotation, so you'll just have to wait.

7) When the snow map loads in and you can see that your fourth character is on the water tile, hit pause on one of your non-main controllers.

8) Sign out that controller. This is not "Exit Game" from the pause menu, but a sign out from the Xbox menu.

9) When you resume the game once the sign-out has occurred, the character will disappear from the map.

10) Repeat this for the other controllers. You'll want to pause to make it easy for yourself to sign out. Resume the game - the signed-out characters will disappear from the map.

11) Leave your main account character completely motionless for 2:30 minutes to unlock the achievement. It unlocked at about 2:45 minutes for me as I just let it run.

Tried this a couple dozen times alone with no success. Had my wife join in on the second controller and we ended up getting this on the third or fourth try. We would play legitimately until somewhere around 1:30-1:45, then just spaz out on the joysticks.

I noticed that you get a pretty huge burst of speed if you spaz on the joystick (or buttons) after a brief rest period, but the burst doesn't last long. If we ever found ourselves positioned a bit away from the enemies we would take advantage of the brief rest so that our guys would move quicker once we started up again.

I died at 2:30.32 (and my wife made it to 2:42) and we got the achievement.

2:30.12

I didn’t realize the joystick worked until after I read your solution. Alone, I started a match and pretty much palmed the left stick and swirled it counter-clockwise and got it on the first try, so thanks!

I dont see how this is possible. We cant get past 1:30. Twenty + tries....

yep +1 from me too - worked second time I tried it (joystick method)

*corrected typos :)*

Great idea,took a few attempts but definitely I found this the best way to getting the achievement. Thanks

Glad I could help.

This was definitely the best way to get this achievement, after about 2 minutes I paused before almost every move, and I was in no danger at all. +1

Honestly never thought to do this i'm gonna do it in a bit now. +1 :)

Thanks, I tried the other methods but I did it first try with this method. Thanks!

Done! Great guide

Definitely possible online.

^He means in this solution. You can't do this way online because you can't pause an online game
