How to unlock the So Special it Hurts achievement in Hexic 2 - Definitive Guide
The method to making a black pearl is slightly different this time around than it was in the original Hexic. A black pearl in Hexic 2 is actually what you would get from creating a Grand Pearl Poo-Bah in the first Hexic.
In Hexic 2 the creator added a piece in between the starflower and the black pearl called the ruby. So you can make a starflower by surrounding one piece with six of the same colored pieces, then a ruby by surrounding a piece with six starflowers, and finally a black pearl by surrounding a piece with six rubies. Another way to make a black pearl is to create a line of 5 rubies either diagonally or vertically.
This may seem like a rather hard achievement for anyone who was not able to make a Poo-Bah in the original Hexic, but it's actually a lot easier than it sounds.
What you need to do is create 9 starflowers. Then arrange them in a diagonal line with 2 sections of 4 flowers in a line separated by a colored hex. Then rotate your 9th flower into the middle of the line and voila, you will have a pearl. The game recognizes that you make 5 rubies (flowers 1-5,2-6,3-7,4-8,5-9). This gives you 5 rubies in a line which in turn makes a pearl. Bleep Bloop.

Worked a charm. So easy to do when you know how.

No doubt the solution of "Fightn Ares" is magnificent; Thanks to him I completed the game.
I come to share with you through a video how I managed to unlock this achievement; We all learn differently.
The video may be long but it will help if you have difficulties in how to accommodate the pieces.
I hope it helps! Good luck!
If you think I deserve a thumb down, tell me the reason it will definitely help me to improve this and future solutions. Thank you

To make a Black Pearl, you must make a line of 5 Rubies or a flower of 6 Rubies. Best done on Marathon mode, and is not an easy achievement. Refer to Marathon Master for more tips on creating Black Pearls.
This achievement requires you to make a Black Pearl.
Start up Marathon Mode. In order to make a Black Pearl, there are 2 ways, these are:
