How to unlock the Fish out of water achievement in Deadpool - Definitive Guide

This achievement is roughly half way through chapter 5 "Landed In Prison". It should be very obvious given you must cross a river of sewage by jumping across small floating platforms. The damage that will prevent you from getting the achievement is from touching the sewage, taking damage from enemies is ok.
*important*this achievement behaves exactly as it does in the original version. If you fall in, pause right away but DO NOT SELECT RESTART CHECKPOINT. THE ACHIEVEMENT WILL STILL COUNT AS FAILED AND WILL BE RECORDED ON YOUR SAVE FILE. IF YOU DID RESTART CHECKPOINT AFTER FAILING, YOU MUST REPLAY THE LEVEL TO TRY AGAIN. Thankfully there is a work around giving you as many chances as you need if you happen to mess up (and you will).
originally my solution mentioned dashboarding, quitting, restarting, and loading your save. KitShicker43 in the comments mentions quitting to the main menu from the pause screen and reloading your save works too. I can't confirm it, but another commenter has said it does. Point is: WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T USE RELOAD CHECKPOINT
start and end:
The section this takes place at is very obvious. But its divided into 3 parts. Platforming section 1, a raised area you fight a bunch of enemies, and platforming section 2.
You will be near the end when Deadpool gets his teleport ability. The absolute end is when you teleport across what looks like a broken bridge, and the achievement will unlock just as you reach the area you begin teleporting around the top of the pods using the bumper button.
Jumping across the platforms:
The trickiest bit for this achievement is crossing the sewage using the small platforms that float across it. Most of these sections are simple and straightforward. Some aren't.
There are 3 important bits of advice for these parts:
- look before you leap. Sometimes the floating platforms will flow at different speeds and you must wait for the best spacing so you can make it across. There is also at least 1 spot where the platforms go at the same speed and the space you must cross is *exactly* the length of a double jump.
- make sure Deadpool does not have a gun in his hands. Deadpool is programmed to automatically holster them after a period of time. If he does this mid-jump (which it seems he does this every time during this section), it will kill your momentum enough that you will likely fall into the sewage. You can have him put away his guns yourself just by swinging your melee weapon.
- last, if you are unsure where you're supposed to go as you jump to the other side, look for the exposed rebar. It should be flashing. Also, be sure to hold down
. If your jump is a little short, holding will cause Deadpool to grab the edge instead of just fall into the sewage like an idiot.
good luck!

Nice find, I fell in on one of the last jumps and found this. Worked great for me.

I can confirm that just as in the Xbox 360 version you can obtain this by simply quitting to the main menu and continuing; quitting to the dashboard is not required. Also, you can take damage from enemies - all that matters is you do not take damage from touching the "water." (A question from the 360 version comments section that went unanswered.)

Completed in 'Landed in Prison', simply don't touch the water (you'll take damage if you do).
You'll need to use evade a few times to get across the bigger gaps.
If you fall into the water, restarting isn't enough. Quit to main menu and continue to restart.

Chapter: Landed In Prison
For this trophy you have to get past the toxic waste without ever touching it. This took me a few tries as it can be a bit challenging but with some persistence it can be done. It's hard to give advice on how to properly do this as it is a bit luck based and quite self explanatory based on your luck getting across. Do note that at the very beginning part with the comic book text boxes, the game prompts you to jump on them, don't, as you can run to the left and skip the whole thing. Doing this will take away the risk of doing that part because the controls seem to just give out at that point, though do note that this glitch doesn't seem to be present on the PS4. You are welcome to try it if you want but I don't advise it. You can use this video by TheGrimHimself for reference:
If you screw up, then quit the game/close the app via the
button and reload it as doing this will put you back at the previous checkpoint without voiding the trophy.

There are multiple sewer sections later on in the "Landed in Prison" stage. Make sure not to fall into any of these sections while playing the level. Reloading your checkpoint doesn't work if you fall in, but you can quit to the dashboard and then reload the game and continue if you fall in. The achievement will pop shortly after you get the enhanced teleport ability.

You need to cross the river in several places in ONE go. After loading the checkpoint, if you touch the water, you will NOT receive the trophy. You can exit to XMB and then continue - it might work (not sure, I took the trophy in one go).

If we still fall into the river, we immediately go out XMB. We go into the game and start from the last checkpoint. They'll give you a trophy! Checked!

It is not necessary to exit to XMB, just exit to the game menu and click “Continue”.
