How to unlock the True Descender achievement in Descenders - Definitive Guide

TrueAchievements
TrueAchievements
This achievement requires you to start a Career session from “Highlands” through to “Peaks”.
This is actually not all that difficult.
On each level you undertake try and complete the bonus challenge as this gives you an extra life. The extra challenges are quite easy in
Highlands, Forest and Canyon. In peaks I didn’t bother with any of the extra challenges as I had 12 lives as I started peaks. Take it slow and try hit the final boss track with as many lives as possible.
Crew members
If and when you unlock a crew member. I would suggest picking the ones that allow you to land harder jumps before bailing, crash heavier before losing multiple lives and more powerful bunny hops.
Once you have those three I would pick the one that prevents non track and no storm modifiers. The more rep you earn the more crew members you can unlock to use.
(Skid trick) To slow your self down massively, just literally push
and 
then both sticks right/left/right/left together and this will slow you down and you can easily finish no brake challenges with this.
Tips:
On the track selection, you can either go for the shortest route possible to unlock and finish the boss track or you can do as many as you want to unlock more rep and lives. I personally just Used the shortest route and managed to complete nearly all the extra challenges throughout Highlands and Forest.
Difficult obstacles and Boss jumps
On almost every track you can ride around some of the more difficult obstacles, rather than potentially lose a life you can ride around the boss jumps on Highlands and Forest. Any obstacles that are even remotely difficult I would suggest riding around as to keep as many lives as possible.
You don’t need to stay on the track, especially on Highlands, I used to just head in the direction of where the track is going, getting speed and hitting the odd jump to gain rep.
Challenges
No braking - I was able to use this one even in peaks, just literally ride down the track pushing the right and left stick together either left or right, causing you to skid continuously. This allowed to complete the no braking challenge easily.
Full acceleration: In Highlands and Forest, just face down hill and don’t even bother riding the track, you will get some easy lives in these worlds. I would suggest the skid trick whilst holding the acceleration down.
360, 720, Backflips and Frontflips
These are pretty self explanatory. Make sure you are hitting a jump big enough to complete the trick. Don’t try and impress anyone with how many tricks your doing, your just going to increase the likelihood of you crashing and losing lives.
Highlands boss jump - Train jump, 60-70kmh (More than enough) You can ride around this instead.
Forest boss jump - Tower jump - 50-65 (50 you land on top and can ride off it and 65 you will jump it and land on the ramp.
You can ride around this
Canyon Boss jump - Huge gulley jump - 80-90kmh - Probably the easiest in my
Opinion. Huge landing and big run up. Try not to overjump and land to heavy or you may crash.
Peaks boss jump - Massive helicopter hung jump.
70-85kmh - Try not to overjump the first jump otherwise you will not have enough speed to make the second part of the jump.
All I can suggest is bunny hop off the first jump and bunny hop off the jump hung from the helicopter as it’s not the easiest jump to time. I wouldn’t bother doing any tricks, just make the jump.
Once you finish the peaks jump, if you have not completed all the fire icon tracks throughout each world it will take you to the tutorial level, which is an achievement itself when you complete that.
If you did finish all the fire levels, it will take you to “Volcano”.
Complete this For another achievement, I have not attempted this Volcano one yet as I only unlocked this one myself yesterday.
Good luck

Seems this doesn’t unlock in combination with the volcano achievement... another 40 min then...

To get to the volcano do you have to finish the Fire Nod and jump through the fire circle on the boss level for each environment? That sounds hard.....haha

A run is considered as one Career session beginning in the Highlands and ending in the Peaks without losing all your lives and having to restart.
See "The Golden Run" for general tips and strategies.

You need to go through 4 locations of the main career from start to finish in one session. Highlands → Forest → Canyon → Peaks
Some tips from personal experience:
1. Let's start with the fact that you can get to the boss level as quickly as possible, speeding up the passage.
2. You can go through more levels in any order and complete tasks that will give you extra lives + farm reputation by performing various tricks to open a crew with perks that can make your life easier during the passage. (I recommend)
3. Ordinary jumps: most, if not all, jumps in all locations can be bypassed, if suddenly, as you approach, you realize that this is the same jump on which you will definitely crash, it is better not to take another risk and go around it. Let me remind you that this game does not require you to quickly complete levels, sometimes act with caution and study the track before leaving, because it’s not for nothing that a short video of the track is shown before each level.
+ On top of that, you don’t have to follow the route; you can cut anywhere and anywhere at your own peril and risk.
4. Crew/perks: I recommend choosing only those perks that are needed to complete the last location, namely the last springboard. Here are some useful perks that I had
• Pump Strength - sort of like the intensity of the jump as far as I remember
• Spin Speed - tricks are done faster (required when getting a crew and completing tasks)
• Bunny Hop - “bunny hop”/jump becomes higher (will help on the last boss springboard)
• Landing Impact - landings from high altitudes become softer and the chance of not crashing increases (within reason)
I can also recommend the following perks:
• Fewer Obstacles - fewer objects on the map (obstacles/trees)
• Speed Wobbles – at high speeds the steering wheel vibrations are reduced (useful for boss jumps)
• More Checkpoints - more checkpoints
5. Farming lives/crew: I recommend farming tasks and reputation points in the first location, it is the simplest and the tasks there are quite easy. In other locations it is already more difficult, although the tasks are random, but the tracks themselves have a greater bend and the jumps are of a different complexity. Also, when you go through more levels in a location, it will gradually get dark, then the light on the bike will go out, you will be notified about all this at the beginning of the level. Therefore, you shouldn’t linger for long, as you can simply stumble upon, for example, a haystack that is just walking around the map. At the end of the first location I had 10+ lives, after that it’s quite possible to remember the first point.
6. Boss levels have large jumps at the end of the tracks. In the first and second locations, for example, you can simply drive around them. The third one is essentially an ordinary jump over an abyss, it’s hard to screw up there. The fourth is the most difficult of all, it will take the most lives, somewhere they didn’t calculate the speed or trajectory, etc.
7. Final boss-springboard: consists of 2 parts, the first part is a jump to the platform with a helicopter and the second part is a jump from it to the final platform. The recommended speed is 75-85 km/h, especially try not to exceed the speed, otherwise you will not have enough speed for the second jump (tested) even if you managed to save the bike on the first platform. We make a jump to the first platform and immediately from acceleration we make another jump to the second platform (better without tricks, although after a couple of restarts it seemed to me that a forward somersault gives the greatest forward inertia) It is also worth noting that falling from a very high height can take 2 lives at once.
By choosing 1 point, you will get fewer lives and perks by going through a short path, which will significantly complicate the passage of the last boss springboard, since lives are lost there only this way.
By choosing point 2, you can, if possible, get more lives and perks, which will make it easier to pass not only regular levels but also the last boss springboard, because lives are your attempts that are designed for this entire trophy, don’t forget about it. Therefore, the more lives and perks you have, the more chances you have to complete all locations in one session.

All the advice above is more than correct. I advise you not to rush into completing it right away, but to get a feel for the mechanics of the game in order to complete the trophy through experience. I managed to do it after 400k REP
