How to unlock the Flying Blind achievement in Dance Central - Definitive Guide

EDIT: Removed some information that others found inaccurate.

The easiest way do this is to follow this pattern for each song:

1. Play Break It Down mode until you are comfortable with the song and its moves.
2. Play Perform It Mode once. No flashcard mode will unlock if you get 5 stars [others say it will unlock with 4, but one run through with 4 on Medium did not unlock it more for me, so your mileage may vary].
3. Play Perform It Mode again with flashcards turned off. Since the routine is fresh in your mind, you should be able to do it pretty easily.

I ran through the dance battle before I turned on the "no flashcards mode" for the songs that I used on this achievement. I tried working on the "Epic Battle!" achievement at the same time (which doesn't work, so don't try it), and I was able to get a double dose of practice before flying blind.

I've gotten 5 stars with flashcards turned off but no icon appears next to the song. Does it still count?

do the challenges count for the no flashcards? (the ones that combine all songs for that particular tier)

I have confirmed that now you do not have to beat your high score from non-flashcard mode, as I got 10 icons of no-flashcards and some high scores that were above those scores. Also, this does work with challenge mashups.

If the challenges work, then DLC doesn't. I was trying to figure out why the achievement didn't unlock for me and figured it had to be because one of those 2 things don't count.

I also got this achievement without beating all of my non-flashcard mode high scores. I only beat 8 out of the 10 and the achievement still popped.

I'm guessing this is ten different songs??

Very relieved to read in the comments that you don't have to meet/beat your star score on the song as I've made the mistake (sic) of getting gold on some already.

Got it, without having to beat my previous high score.

Can confirm that challenges WILL work. I ran through the playlist from Poker Face up to and including Simple Challenge and it unlocked like a charm.

As stated in the roadmap, your best bet is to 5-star a song on easy to unlock No Flashcards, then immediately play the song again with Flashcards turned off. Challenges count toward this achievement as well.

This achievement requirement can be deceptive. Simply getting 5 stars on a song will not suffice. You must do at least as well as your previous best for it to count. You'll know if you've got a song done toward the 10 you need if, when you select the song, there's a picture of a blue flashcard with a red line through it next to your rating on that song. So, if you get gold stars on a song with flashcards nwhen you replay without flashcards you will also need to get gold stars.

I found the first 8 songs and 2 challenges the easiest 10 to get 5 stars on without flashcards, but it's all down to personal preference.
