This is achieved by completing the fifth run through of the levels, this time you have both buried treasure (which require being uncovered, then cleared as usual) and black jewels which if you line up three then the spaces will no longer be cleared (gold) and will have to be done again. That is of course unless they are cleared in a cascade after you clear something else, this will not unclear your gold spaces.

But the most important aspect of this is you can lose as many times as you want as you have unlimited continues; if you're having a nightmare just click restart the level on the pause menu. If you do this within the first 8 moves then you won't lose a life. (Thanks to cherryontop420 for that) It will get slightly easier the next time and just complete the whole run through one final time and your achievement will pop.

Unfortunately after all these levels and you get one screen of text and nothing more to celebrate your grind through this long, long game!

Try and only play a few levels at a time or your brain will frazzle, it's extremely tiring!

woah, the last 3 levels of the fifth walkthrough are really cracking my mind...

Stick with it, they get easier every time you fail!

Ive gotten to the last section 3 times and it has erased my saved file 3 times n started me back at the beggining... any ideas on how to stop it from doing that?

I've had to keep my XBOX 360 on for almost a week straight in order to get all these achievements by completing a run through of levels in a row when I can. Glad I'm nearly done with it though. I wouldn't recommend anyone starting this game because it glitches and that's why I've left my XBOX 360 on for almost a week straight because it seems to erase my save game or lose the save point at which I'm up to.

I started to play this again to complete it and started having the same problems with the saves on my 360. It was weird, it put me back to starting level after I had made it to Surveyor or something, then I quit and restarted and it put me back to Surveyor. Then it screwed up again the next time and progress lost again? So for giggles I started the game on my Xbox One and surprise my progress was there. So I think the 360 save issues are cloud related. If anyone else has this issue try to play on the one and maybe no problems.

You will get this achievement upon completion of the game for the 5th and final time. On your fifth time through (oh what a nightmare) you will have the black faces, and you will have the broken pieces making this time through pretty tough. On top of that, you do not have the option to buy your way to the next level after 3 failed attempts. Good luck on this achievement. Here's a small tip: Before making your first move, look at the way the puzzle is set up with the broken pieces. If it looks like it will be too much trouble, quit and try again... you will not lose a life. Keep doing this until you find a puzzle that is set up nicely to your needs.

Infinite lives trick
Here is a little trick for infinite lives which will help with the game as well as the Game Master achievement. This was found by Skuff in the forums: "Every 50,000 points gets you an extra life, simply get close to that amount, i.e 49,850, 99,850, 149,850, and so on... then on purpose lose a life... start the next round, do 2 - 3 moves till you get your extra life, then restart round, your score will reset to the previous amount, i.e 49.850 but you will keep the extra life, simply rinse and repeat.
