Worked like a charm. Thank you!

By LeXXuz on 08 Jun 2023 21:01

This worked for me as well thanks!

By Mr l Undead on 08 Jun 2023 22:50

Thanks for that; worked for me on the first try!!

By Eazy Fn E on 10 Jun 2023 23:33

Perfect solution, thanks!

By staR eXistenZ on 25 Jun 2023 22:33

Worked great for me this guide is short and simple. I usually just played the first lvl until you meet the beetle( I think it's a beetle?) just to make sure it works.

By GivingSinger347 on 11 Jul 2023 06:39

This achievement is terrible. I've never been hit multiple times, yet it doesn't unlock.

By Don Nielson on 21 Jul 2023 18:50

Thanks for the tip!

By Moonuan on 26 Jul 2023 02:04

Great guide! Good as of 7/31/2023.

By SYst3M0FAd0Wnzz on 01 Aug 2023 06:43

Thabks for that tip. I get kicked by the last robot on game after play it whole. But then i read this and now i got my achievement. Thanks

By ZarzaZP on 03 Aug 2023 05:15

Worked perfectly. Thanks 🙏👍
As lovely as the little game is, dreaded the though of playing through again 2/4 hours.

By Le Gonk 80 on 06 Aug 2023 14:42

Side note, if you quit before getting to the very end and don't have Untouchable and Home yet, Untouchable will pop before Home but both are completed at the same time after doing Cemekii's method.

By Gamer Freak JTM on 31 Aug 2023 13:23

This worked perfectly for me, but annoyingly Hoa shows 95% achievements in my list of games, but when I select Hoa to see individual achievements it shows 100%

By DwemerTom on 23 Sep 2023 13:30

Method still working as of today, thanks a lot.

By DVDiano360 on 15 Nov 2023 19:02

Didn’t work for me. Took me about 3 tries…on the 3rd one…no hit, but no achievement.

By JLogan27 on 21 Dec 2023 14:32

Worked perfectly for me first try with this method. Just make sure the robots don't touch you with the legs. Apparently they still might "touch" you without really kicking you from what I saw in another guide. Thumbs up

By The Sharkopath on 25 Dec 2023 20:09

Still works 12/28/23

By I Get HUGE on 29 Dec 2023 05:14

@ The Sharkopath...that might have been in, I was touched but not kicked. I did it again and it worked. Thumbs up.

By JLogan27 on 29 Dec 2023 13:50

@JLogan27 awesome glad to hear you got it!

By The Sharkopath on 30 Dec 2023 02:08

Got this yesterday, this game was going to be an easy 5 star rating for me before a combination of this + the last level as a whole dropped it to 4, a rather sour + irritating end to such a wonderful little experience.

By TheGillesMuller on 03 Jan 2024 18:05

Thanks for this guide.

By Ian 1485 on 13 Jan 2024 17:06

Still works

By MisterSledge on 31 Jan 2024 21:14

Worked today, but at least for me only after I deleted my save locally and letting synchronize +1

By elefantenmensch on 21 Feb 2024 13:54

I can confirm this still works. Double jump + fly is definitely the easiest way to do this while hovering above when you need to smash on top of a robot to reach a higher level.

By Kekokekeko on 17 Mar 2024 15:48

Still works... but you still have to make it past a good few robots in the upside down section to complete this. Annoyingly there's 5-10min platforming with some reverse controls to navigate before the robots, which is frustrating to do, only to then be booted right away!

I would flip my controller in some parts and on my successful run played sorta bent over looking behind to do my best to create "normal" controls when at the robots. Still pretty fiddly, but doable.

By Hobbess253 on 26 Mar 2024 02:31

not nearly as bad as it sounds BUT if you are struggling, i highly recommend watching a video guide of someone doing this (@TheWelshHunt does a good job if you don't know where to look but there are many other great guides out there) before you try again as then you'll know where they all are and how you are supposed to navigate around them as well as how to time your jumps so they stop where you need them to in order to use them as a trampoline

By evorgnayr on 24 Apr 2024 12:27

Can confirm it works as of 5/31/2024

By Dark Calzone on 01 Jun 2024 00:19

Just got this and the other one for completing the game, took about a dozen tries but I did it and now that I have finished this games achievements I can uninstall it and free some space on my internal hard drive, I have a Xbox One S (1TB) with what should be the stock drive but I only have 1.6GB left out of 700+ with 59 games installed (mostly Xbox 360 games).

This one is unlocked by completing the last level without being kicked by any of the robots. They can be quite sneaky and give you a kick when you land or just after you have jumped over them, so you need to be careful and wait until it is safe to go.

This one may take 2 or 3 attempts.

I actually laughed out loud when I got this. So I’m case it helps anyone…

Completed game and got kicked.

Started new game, played all the way to getting first butterfly. Quit. Chapter select. Whole of last chapter. Nothing.

Tried the above various ways. Gave up.

Next day. Tried multiple things. Starting new games and playing first minute to losing screen, whole chapter. Then doing last chapter. Nothing.

In the end after doing this I got so annoyed (and really fast at doing the last chapter) that I kept letting him walk into the robot hand at the end. Pausing, going to main menu and then reloading.

Then I got the bright idea of deleting my cloud save on the console. Reloaded the game, console synced with the cloud pressed continue. He walked into the robot hand. Achievement unlocked.

Crazy

By Phil the Bear on 14 Jun 2023 13:17

It took me about 10 tries. Just a heads up, the achievement will pop as your character walks into the hand of the robot at the end of the level. If you missed the achievement, just dashboard and restart the game.

By logicslayer on 11 Sep 2022 00:44

Tried just replaying the final level a few times with no luck. Had to fully replay the game with no robot hits for it to unlock.

By RedmptionDenied on 06 Oct 2022 07:58

Yeah it’s very finicky but does work. Sorry to hear you had issues Red

By Corrupt XBA on 06 Oct 2022 11:03

This worked for me but not on first try of going to Select Chapter to replay the last one. On my 2nd attempt to get it I went to New Game, completed the first chapter without a kick (to erase old progress on my save) then exited back to title screen. After having done that, I went to Select Chapter again and this time it did pop when completing that last chapter.

By Panzrammer on 08 Jan 2023 23:54

The solution by @Panzrammer worked very well! Just for the record, you only need to play a small part of level 1 after starting a new game, just make sure it saves, (you can check by hitting continue on the main menu and seeing if you are back at level one), then just chapter select the last level and complete it without being kicked, easy!

By Nate1528 on 16 Mar 2023 20:30

I just get it right now. I've finished the game being touch. I did the last chapter via chapter select without being touch : no cheevo.
I've selected "new game", after intro and having reached the first chapter, I went back to the main menu, chapter select, last level, did it without being kicked : cheevo unlocked in the hand of the giant robot.

By Biomasterhazard on 25 Mar 2023 23:58

I only ever got hit in the last level so only had to replay that one

By Gamerjnb925 on 09 Apr 2023 00:43

The actual xbox description says "Finish the game without getting kicked by the robots to unlock" so you might need to change your guide to say game rather than level, to avoid confusion.

By dunnasaurus rex on 14 Apr 2023 23:56

@ dunnasaurus rex

You only have to do the last level though, so that is not accurate

By Corrupt XBA on 16 Apr 2023 10:16

If anyone is having trouble with the end of the first section with the leaves and hanging bells, I've discovered that here and as well as the rest of the level are way easier to navigate with the D-pad rather than the stick controller. It seems like the stick sometimes can get you hung up in a left/right reverse complication and freeze you in a corner, but the D-pad removed this trouble for some reason.

By skittlebiz on 08 May 2023 00:03

New Game, then to menu and Chapter Select of last level did not work for me after walking into robot hand or even waiting for all credits to complete :(

By skittlebiz on 08 May 2023 00:23

Tried redoing last chapter numerous times achievement wouldn't pop

Replayed 1st chapter,then went to main menu,and replayed last chapter and did not get hit by any robots

Achievement unlocked whilst in robots hand

Stupid achievement

By lucylu1983 on 15 May 2023 15:19

Just a sidenote when encountering the robots: use double jump and glide, you cover distance and land further.

By FireJunAle on 16 May 2023 00:12

The achievement is bugged because if you select the last level and complete it without getting kicked it still won’t unlock. Pretty fun game overall, feels a lot like Ori, but the last chapter ruins the experience for me!

By KillerZ x Ace on 17 May 2023 21:55

Got it today 18th May 23. Got hit several times across multiple levels and the good news is, after finishing the game, as Biomasterhazard mentioned above, just select "New game" and do the first 30-second segment until the actual beginning of the game. As soon as you get the jump tutorial, press start and choose "Chapter select". Go to the last one and avoid the robots the best you can. Time your jumps and the double jumps + glide combo works well against them. The second time you submit yourself to that shit level is better than the first. What did they have in mind to screw the end portion with these controls???

By Soulbite on 17 May 2023 22:32

Finally got it, my method was just re-playing the final level over and over until it popped. Took me about 8 full re-plays of the final level (without being hit by a robot) for it to pop but it did. I didn't re-play the first or any previous levels. The achievement is either really bugged or on my previous 7 re-plays of the level a robot did actually kick me without me noticing.

By jjackson2188 on 17 May 2023 23:10

el método de empezar el nivel uno hasta que puedas saltar y luego seleccionar el ultimo capitulo y pasarlo sin que te paten los robot funciona, si lo hiciste bien el logro salta cuando estas en la mano del robot

By IHeslav on 18 May 2023 01:57

@Soulbite Thank you. Worked like a charm.

By Ixtab Lullaby on 18 May 2023 18:24

I unlocked it yesterday... without starting a new game! Just after the last level (did NOT achieve it there) I choose "chapter select" I played the last level without getting hit an the chievo popped!

By VincentteMebel on 19 May 2023 08:29

I started a new game, got kicked in last level. Restarted last level, no kicks, no achievement. I needed to start a fresh new game to get the achievement to unlock. I would recommend others to do the same. If kicked, start new game.

By Goots 88 on 19 May 2023 13:26

Completed the game. Started and finished the final level via chapter select. Made sure I didn't get kicked. Achievement unlocked.

By Raptures Lost on 19 May 2023 16:20

to be clear it's the white level where the controls reverse right? I just did it and the achievement didn't pop.

EDIT:

Okay, the fix suggested by someone else worked (but modified slightly)

I started a new game, waited until I could pause to go to the menu and then selected to back out to the menu; then redid the last mission and it popped.

By Lypruck on 19 May 2023 19:14

It unlocked for me when I started a new game and then did level select to replay the last mission without getting kicked by the robots

By VaibhavArtStyle on 20 May 2023 11:30

Interesting to me that they made the only "hard" achievement worth 0 Gamerscore. Good to know I can do chapter select for this if need be

By Phim Phighters on 20 May 2023 19:13

WARNING! To anyone with various health/eyesight issues: parts of the Reverse Control level are incredibly dizzying and disorienting - and that area has many kicking robots to avoid. (I made it through, but with consequences healthwise. It somewhat ruined an otherwise delightful game. I won't be replaying it to get the Untouchable achievement.)

By Ziren on 21 May 2023 16:01

It's just the last level design, to make it appear like a small travel inside the inner self.
It's not the first nor the last game that will play with inverted/weird commands/colors.

By FireJunAle on 21 May 2023 17:27

Just got this myself. Can confirm starting a new game and playing the first few minutes and quitting out then playing the final level and completing it without getting kicked works just fine!

By WesternDness on 22 May 2023 00:19

Wow after 4 attempts I got there, even if you don’t think you got hit the smallest hit counts crazy!
The hardest I’ve worked for 0 gamer score 😂 but I’ve got the 1k 100% at least… on to the next!

By I SC077Y I on 22 May 2023 17:49

As others mentioned, you need to start a new game and play for a few minutes (until you hit the first loading screen), then replay the last level via chapter select. Only way I could get this to unlock.

By iTz Canada Ehh on 22 May 2023 20:01

When we say last level, is it the metal level or the whole inverted section?

By DanPalf1991 on 23 May 2023 19:35

Inverted black and white.

By FireJunAle on 23 May 2023 19:50

iTz Canada Ehh seems right about playing the first level on a new game until the first loading screen.
I done it once without getting hit and without starting that new game , and didnt get it.
But if anybody likes to try, in theory, i believe you can pause the game and go to the main menu, before you get to the first robot, and than if you get hit, guidebutton to dashboard, and quit the game, than go back to the game and continue from the position at that first robot. I was going to try it but than i didnt get hit and got the achievement.

By MightyVap3r on 23 May 2023 20:08

Guide should really be updated as it is incorrect and not only the last level counts.

Was kicked during the game and finished last level with no kick, no cheevo, reloaded last chapter without any kicks, no cheevo.
Started a new game, played shortly and loaded last chapter, didn't get kicked and got the cheevo.
Seems to be the same as what others experienced.

So if you do get kicked by a robot any time during the game it is necessary to start a new game and then simply abuse the chapter select and finish the last level without being kicked.

By winginor on 25 May 2023 14:15

OP here. Just to say, when I did the achievement, I DID NOT do it first time, and I DID NOT have to play any other chapters or start a new game

By Corrupt XBA on 25 May 2023 14:19

Question would then be did you get kicked in any other chapter, replaying the last one may work if you only got kicked there which would fit with what I and others in the comments experienced.

Would really add that info in some way to the solution as so many stated that just replaying the last level didn't work for them without starting a new game.

By winginor on 25 May 2023 14:34

Personally I did it a few times just doing the last chapter and it didn't pop, but starting a new game, getting the first load screen and then replaying did make it pop.

By DanPalf1991 on 26 May 2023 21:39

I have been trying the "replay level 1 until loading then replay level 8 w out getting hit" and shit ain't working.

By Durant92bhd on 27 May 2023 11:44

^ start new game first.

By Goots 88 on 27 May 2023 12:57

Just got it, there's no need to start a new game, neither play the first level again, just level select the last level

By GDB Marcos on 27 May 2023 22:03

Really didn’t enjoy getting this achievement. Just a tip: the screen rotation of the last level makes it difficult to avoid landing directly next to the robots, but I found the hover mechanic (RT) to be helpful with aiming my landings a bit better.

By TheOnlyChi on 28 May 2023 00:56

So only by playing the Dreamland level and not getting touched by the robots will be fine to get this achievement?

By hibiki13 on 28 May 2023 11:15

Nope, if you're ever being kicked by robots then just start a new game, create a checkpoint then load last level and finish it.
With robots, double jump + glide is the key of success.

By FireJunAle on 28 May 2023 12:41

Which is the first checkpoint in the game when you arrive at the island from the boat?

By hibiki13 on 28 May 2023 21:12

Maybe when you arrive to the tree, just 2 or 3 mins of walking, very fast.

By FireJunAle on 28 May 2023 22:43

I was kicked by robots plenty of times. All I did was quit the game, open it again and replayed the final chapter. Achievement unlocked, no issues.

By Blissed Away on 29 May 2023 05:14

The achievement popped for me on the console, app, and xbox website however for some reason it didn't unlock on trueachievements. That bugged me so I just replayed the first level and the final level, it didn't pop since it had done so already but it did finally make the achievement get marked as done on trueachievements.

By SSgtRubberDucky on 30 May 2023 10:32

Check if you have some scanner errors because TA sometimes could fail to retrieve the profile.

By FireJunAle on 30 May 2023 12:53

just got mine: had to start new game - play to first checkpoint (youll see the loading symbol in the corner so you know when your there) then load up the final chapter - cheevo popped :)

By angelicdevil88 on 31 May 2023 16:43

Just before the pipe i did a cloud save by going back at the menu and dashboard. So i could abuse cloud save by deleting my local save in case i get hit so i dont restart this whole messy level everytime

By oONeonDemonOo on 04 Jun 2023 16:19

The cloud save didn't help me at all at the last level, it always ended up restarting from the beginning.

By FireJunAle on 04 Jun 2023 20:44

Untouchable achievement didn't pop up for me after clear last level witout being hit by robots. Any clues?

By Nocturnal Evil on 06 Jun 2023 02:02

did this 3 times and still no achievement

By Kyuni on 06 Jun 2023 17:54

For those wondering when the achievement pops, it should pop once you are in the hand of the robot and as he starts to fade into the background.

By Singularity69 on 19 Jun 2023 09:40

I completed the game... no achievement even watched all the credits. I deleted save from console and went to continue and it started a new game. As soon as possible I quit out, selected last level, completed with no kicks again and got the achievement when walked into his hand, hope this helps anyone who doesn't get it straight away.

By NW JT Punk on 20 Jun 2023 09:21

Worked first time thank for the great Guide +1 👍

By GS13 ERGO PROXY on 14 May 2024 16:33

Since I already knew about this weird 0g achievements from forum posts, I just played the game being very carefully not to be kicked and "abusing" the cloud save when possible (close game to save the session then play until there were robots around, rinse and repeat above, delete save if kicked)
Last level was special, it must be done without errors and when you hear the metallic sounds be prepared with double jump + glide.

By FireJunAle on 17 May 2023 23:35

Re-played last level 5 times without getting kicked by a robot and achievement won't pop. A couple of players have mentioned starting a new game and re-playing the first level before doing the final level again but there are no robots in the first level, they appear in the second level so I'm not sure how that would make a difference. Will try one more time and failing that I'll probably just re-play the entire game again.

By jjackson2188 on 17 May 2023 21:40

- I just unlocked this achievement and can confirm that there is no need to replay the first level after completing the game. Just go to the last level from the level select menu, play it again, make sure no robot hits you, and the achievement is yours. I write this using Google translate, sorry if any word doesn't make sense

- Acabo de desbloquear este logro y puedo confirmar que no es necesario volver a jugar el primer nivel, después de completar el juego. Simplemente vaya al último nivel desde el menú de selección de nivel, juégalo otra vez, asegúrate de que ningún robot te golpea, y el logro es tuyo

By InviernoCero2 on 22 May 2023 16:36

Here's a tip for everyone who is having difficulties: you DON'T need to start the game from the beginning, just start the last phase in the phase selection, and when you get to the first pipe, be careful not to be hit by the robots. The tip is always to fly as far away from the robot as possible, because if you jump you risk being hit when you land. Making 100% of the trophies is very easy, you can do it in a single playthrough, just having to repeat the last phase (if you haven't already got it) to get this untouchable trophy.

By JSCGameplay on 25 May 2023 20:48

I had the same issues as others here. I got kicked by the robots early on for the 10-hits achievement, and nowhere else. When I got to the final dreamlike stage I didn't get hit and it didn't pop. Closed the game, and selected that level again, did the same and no result.

So I did as others suggested, began a new game briefly, jumped out and did the last chapter again to finally get it. So thanks for the comments guys. All for 0G ffs - at least the levels are short.

(On another note, I liked the final level - best of the game)

if you are hit by a robot before u finish the game, do not worry.

- start a new game, finish first level without being hit by robot.
- level select / finish dream land without being hit.

Didn't have to replay first level...

By Wick N Morty on 21 May 2023 13:54

Quick add-on to demon jonzey's note: while attempting the solution I got kicked on the last level after restarting the first level in "New Game" and playing to the checkpoint, and I had to redo the whole thing, that is, start another "New Game" and play the first level again. Just replaying the last level again did not unlock the achievement for me.

By elevenfifty on 31 May 2023 23:04

This helped, though I did have to back to the other guide and see the comments to understand.

The basics are that you only have to restart the first level in "New Game" and go and scene in or two - not necessarily complete. It only has to be enough to erase the save data. Then you can go to "Chapter Select" to tackle the end game again. You only have to do this method if you got hit during the earlier levels - causing the final level to not matter towards this achievement, hit or no hit.

If you survived the earlier levels with robots but got hit on the final dream level, then replaying that section alone in "Chapter Select" would be sufficient. I survived the final level the first two times, but no pop, so must have been hit earlier in the game. Doing the above method sorted it.
