An easy, sneaky way to get this one I found is to progress through the gates (when setting the time to let the figures through) to the next section, still on the Cuckooland map. You will both have to activate a lift. Once on top, there will be a cutscene with the Book of Love. You get the option to fly a bird. You can fly back over the locked gate and into the cuckoo land. From there you are able to land, get off the bird, activate the 2 pads to start the Helltower, then get on your bird, fly to the top, get off and start the fireworks.

I first did this with May as she can use her teleport, but found only one of us could get the achievement as it is a lot harder for Cody to do, which seems unfair. So can confirm both methods work.

A little buggy but it works! It happened to me the same that @HunterCH.
I restarted the last checkpoint and then I was able to activate the tower again.
I flew to the top with Cody, but nothing popped up. Then I flewed to the top with May, and finally the trophy poped out!

@HunterCH - I tried this today 12/11/21 and it did not work. HOWEVER if you click restart from checkpoint, then it gives you the option to re-activate the tower. I think it might be if you previously activated the tower. Also others have said it might be a bit glitchy, Id suggest to just keep trying and maybe you will have luck :)

By HybridZ4cH on 12 Nov 2021 18:15

@Elmozach - Thank you. I was upset to find the buttons in and no tower. When I restarted checkpoint it was reset and I was able to do this.

Got it yesterday with the bird method, confirming it still works on writing.

Just get te bird, fly back to the tower, activate the tower and fly on the top/ land and achievement unlocked.

Confirmed still works Feb 11/22. Thumbs up!

Not working anymore

By EM123AR on 13 May 2023 14:56

I tried with the birds, and then tried with the clone. Neither worked so I had to do legit. Only took about 5 minutes and what helped was every couple platforms I would leave a clone so if I fell I teleported back up.

By AbsoIuteZero x on 18 Jun 2023 05:20

Still Works Feb 2024, After you get to the birds restart the checkpoint, that's what worked for my playthrough

By Deathtalon69 on 02 Feb 2024 10:43

As of March 2024 this still works. After you get the birds and fly back to the tower, restart the checkpoint. Worked like a charm and am very grateful for this guide.

By NasalEquation11 on 28 Mar 2024 03:27

Did it birdless. It CAN be done, it just takes a lot of strategery

The way I did it was to put the clone on the trap-door first. Hit the buttons and wait about half a second then go to the clone and you are on the last platform. Then we just restarted chapter and changed characters

This is completed in the chapter Cuckoo Clock - Gates of Time. You will enter an open village area close to the end of the chapter. There are some minigames on the left side of the village and inbetween them is the Helltower. Both players need to slam the two buttons to activate the Helltower. This is a platforming challenge to climb to the tope of the tower and fire off the fireworks. You can try as much as you need to, but each of you needs to reach the top.

I found a SUPER, easy way to do this by mistake actually. As soon as you both hit the buttons, have one person run right to the edge of the trap door right in the middle where it opens and they will be carried straight to the top thus actually making this the easiest achievement in the game :) I tried to post the video here but unfortunately I am unable to, but message me on Xbox and I will send you a picture or the game clip showing you exactly where to go

During the level Cuckoo Clock: Gates of Time after you've done the initial puzzles you will reach a big town you can run around in. For this particular achievement you'll need to look for a sign that says Helltower. Just go forward and stick to the left and you should reach it. When you get there it is activated by pounding the buttons there. A big tower will emerge and you'll have to reach the top. Once one of you reach it the achievement will pop.

Alternatively you can teleport to the town after you've beaten the game by choosing either the Bomb Run or Horse Derby minigames provided you found either of them during the first playthrough

This will be in Cuckoo Clock: Gates of Time. The trophy will unlock for each player individually when they've made it to the top of the tower and interacted with the button.

When you reach the open area with the little town, there will be a small fishing area in one corner and bright lights spelling out "HELLTOWER" just next to it.

Have both players hit the buttons in front of the sign at the same time and a large tower will appear. To get this trophy, you just need to make it to the top of the tower and press the button. Sounds easy enough, but honestly, this is arguably the most difficult trophy in the game. The timing required for everything is quite precise, so you need to take your time going up and watch for the patterns. When you get to the wall jump section, you can't rush it. Jump on one wall at a time, then wait for them to expand, then come back together before continuing (you'll know what I mean when you actually get here). If you're playing as May, you have a slight advantage with this as you can just put a clone down as you progress up higher and if you happen to fall, just teleport back up to it.

If you're having trouble with the bottom half of the tower, there is a hookshot you can swing from that will put you at right about the wall jump section of the tower. You just need to be careful when jumping over to it since all of the platforms will be rotating. Once you've reached the top, press the red button and the trophy will unlock.

Chapter: Cuckoo Clock / Section: Gates of Time

During this level you will come to a town square area (outdoors). Go find the funfair in this area. At the end of the funfair is a lit sign that says “HELLTOWER”. In front of this sign are two buttons, both players must jump on them simultaneously to make the tower appear. You must reach the top to earn the trophy.

I can't really write a guide on how to climb the tower so you're just going to have to give it your best shot! One area that my partner struggled with is the wall jump section, there is not enough time to make two consecutive jumps so only do one and wait until it realigns.

Supposedly a way to "cheat" this trophy, which I haven't tested, is to progress through the level until you gain access to the birds you can fly. Instead of continuing with the story, simply fly the birds back to the top of the Helltower and the trophy should unlock.

Note: Each player must reach the top of the tower themselves to unlock the trophy.

At the level where you need to bring your two mechanical figures along the rails to the finish line, you will be able to find and “build” a tower. Then we jump onto its top and the trophy is yours.

Only the player who rose gets the trophy, keep this in mind, especially if you are playing on the same console as a guest! So everyone should climb this tower.

The easiest way is to go a little further along the plot until the birds are given out. Riding the bird back to the city and activating the tower, then simply fly up and land on top of the tower using the same bird. If the tower does not activate (the buttons are pressed in), start from the control point

By SinJuly on 10 Jun 2021 00:09

The easiest way is to go to the next location with the birds and fly them to the tower. The main thing is not to launch the tower earlier, otherwise it will not be active later.

Find it faster through the “Horse Racing” mini-game

There is a clue directly opposite the tower (

) from which you can swing and jump to the middle of the tower, you can climb from the house on the right if you stand with your back to the tower. Playing as Mei, you can leave the teleport and return to the platform, the main thing is to get the timing right

By osip43 on 18 Apr 2021 22:59

The tip from Provladimir32 is correct, but there is one clarification. If you first activate the tower and then fly in on birds, there will be no tower and you won’t be able to activate it again. Therefore, first you get the bird, then fly and activate the tower.

By kisyusha on 20 Nov 2021 22:57

The tower is located next to the Bomb Run mini-game.

Jumped from a hook, a double jump under which allows you to catch on to a hook.
But! Made it even easier. After completing this location, they gave two birds; upon landing on the bird on the tower, the trophy fell automatically.

By Provladimir32 on 12 Sep 2021 09:49

I'll add kisyusha's hint.
I activated the tower, jumped - it didn’t work, I decided to leave it for later - I moved on with the plot. Came back on the birds. The tower has been removed. I descended from the bird, activated the tower without any problems, flew in and the trophy fell out. Then the second player did the same. So - everything works fine, even if the tower was previously activated.

By Damien on 03 Feb 2022 10:12

Obtained from the "Cuckoo Clock" chapter in the "Gate of Time" level. There is a town square here. Look for the fair, and at the end of it you will find the inscription HELLTOWER. There are two buttons in front of it. Click on them at the same time to make the Inferno Tower appear. To get the achievement, you need to climb to the very top. In this case, only the player who ends up at the top will receive the achievement. So be patient and jump up.
