How to unlock the Sharp Like Scissors achievement in DARQ: Complete Edition - Definitive Guide
This is unlocked on The Crypt, found in the menu under Extra Levels.
Start the level, go up the elevator, go left to pull the lever, moving the plank, and then walk down the wall where the plank was. Stick your neck in the hole and roll your head to the left until you stop it in top of the pressure pad. Switch back to your guy and run to the left until a switch pops up. This is your scissor puzzle. (Referring to the scissors that stop the gate from dropping.)
You've got to be super quick entering all these directions. Time begins once you press the button. If you mess up or go to slow, or just want to practice a few times, you can always back out of the puzzle and try again. I used my d-pad to enter the sequence. It just seemed more reliable. The sequence is:
Left, down, down, right, right, down, down, left, up, left, down
Up, right, down, right, up, up, right, right, down, right, right, right, down, right, right, up, right, down
Up, left, down, left, left, up, left, up, right, up, right, right, up, up, right
I had to try several times to finally get it fast enough. Thankfully it's close to the beginning of you have to do it over.
