Pretty much self explanatory. You can only die five times in a single sitting, without saving and then resuming later.
Don't worry, this game is actually quite easy once you know how to solve all of the puzzles. And a single play-through will only take you about 45 to 60 minutes. I would suggest practicing through the chapters that you know you have trouble on, and keep repeating them until you can get it right almost every time. That way you won't go 3/4 of a play-through flawlessly only to die five times at a single point.
The last few gravity based chapters are particularly more challenging, as you have to get them right the first time or else you'll die, so make sure you got a solid rhythm down. Again, practice, practice, practice those challenging chapters before you start a play-through. It will save you much frustration later.
My last advice; if you die before you kill the spider, go ahead and restart. It doesn't take you long to get there and you'll want to have those extra lives. Once you get towards the middle of the game though, keep going until you die six times. Even if you're at five deaths and you're certain you won't make it, the practice is still good. Besides, you might get lucky.
Well, good luck!

Had to check and see if they left this tough one in! Sure enough! Kudos to anyone who unlocks it.

This is no guide at all! Not a single hint for certain areas.
Stick with the solutions for the 360 version guys. Downvote from me.

Hi,
this solution is meant as an addition to the solution of Eterna1 Soldier. He gave some good hints in his solution which make your life definitaly easier if you want to go for this.
The trick to get this achievement is to memorize the hard parts. I used the videos below myself to get this achievement and with the help of them I got my achievements for the 360 and the One in just two days with no more than 5 retries for each version.
So just refer to them and use them step by step until you know what you do. I.e. watch a few minutes of the video and than reproduce what he did step by step and you will be fine. Also read the tips he is giving you in the videos. He usually points out what to do in particular for most of the hard parts.
So here are the most important things summarized as mentioned by ApatheticCobra in his guide for this achievement in the 360 version of the game:
1. A flawless playthrough will only take roughly between 60-90 minutes (this does not take into account the time you need to watch the videos, though)
2. If you die before chapter 10 just restart the game. All the puzzles and traps are pretty straight forward and are easy to avoid once you know what to do. Also you are only 15-20 minutes in the game so it's not too bad to restart from this point
3. If you die in later chapters do not get discouraged. You are allowed to die 5 times and you should use your lifes. When I was going for this on the One I had only 1 Life left, so do not get frustrated and do your best to survive. You are too deep in to surrender now!
4. Practice the later chapters beforehand via chapter select to avoid replaying the first half of the game over and over again just to get killed in the gravity sections of the game. Also, if you know that you have problems with particular parts especially practice them in advance, too.
Good luck ;-)

These worked great! Especially near the end when gravity gets all crazy and timing is critical (the last puzzle was a nightmare for me). Nice to have a reference.

hi, I am glad those videos could help you, too. Especially at the end with all the gravity parts I found them crucial to survival, just because I could memorize the timing of the guy in the video to copy exactly what he did. Personally, for me the hardest part was to stack the crates just to jump over the moving buzzsaw. I think I messed this part up like 10 times :-D After that it got easier for me :-D

Die 5 times or less, probably should be your 2nd or 3rd run through the game so you're familiar with the puzzles. Hardest part is the gravity puzzle at the very end of the game, so definitely practice that last 1-2 minutes before you go for this to avoid frustration. My video is 1.5x normal speed and has been placed to a soundtrack since the game is so quiet. It shows all eggs and No Point in Dying in one go, with timestamps for all the eggs in the video description.

Since there's no tricks to get this outta way of a 100% completion, the only way is to knock it off is with some skill. Here's my 2 cents of advice:
1- Get the other 12 achievements done before attempting this one. For one, it will motivate you more. Besides, only one of them is somewhat challenging. For two, you won't be distracted nor worry about collecting eggs or anything else;
2- If you don't want to spend time practicing the last levels for an unknown amount of time, I suggest you start a new game and see how far you can get without dying once. When you die, write down what level it was and what was it from. This will help greatly in avoiding the same mistakes;
3- Keep progressing until you die 6 times. Now you have parameters to replay specific levels if you want and also can set a goal to reach that same area with less deaths than the previous time until you can beat the whole game with only the 5 or less. Another good advice is to pause the game every once in a while and see on chapter select what lies ahead to exercise your memory.
If you have no patience for methods like the above, I'd suggest you watch the video below (I got it from Youtube, don't own it) 1 minute at a time (so, in about 60 little parts) and try to follow the example to succeed.

You have to start a New Game and finish all levels without quitting AND not die more than 5 times.
This is what I did for the Xbox 360, Xbox One and now the Steam versions. I will be doing the Windows 10 version soon also.
Finish the game normally, dying as many times as you want. Then keep practicing the later levels gradually from end to middle. As in, start with the last level, practice it a few times to get it perfect. Then start the next to last level and finish the game from there to get it perfect. Then keep going backward each level and finishing the game from there. You'll get competent enough to where you can start a new game and complete the game with maybe a few deaths, but as long as you have 5 or less, you're good!
Most people usually leave this achievement for last, after getting all the hidden eggs and such. You do not need any hidden eggs to get this achievement.
Here are my achievement lists for Xbox 360 and One to show I did get this one thrice:
LIMBO on Xbox 360 - completed on Feb 9, 2013
LIMBO on Xbox One - completed on Apr 22, 2015
LIMBO on Steam - finally completed on Apr 30, 2024

The trophy is not as difficult as it might seem.
Difficulty can be caused by traps in chapters: 21, 23, 25 and the ending from chapters 36 to 39.
You will remember the rest of the traps/puzzles from your first two playthroughs of the game.
1 passage - familiarization with the game and enjoying it.
2nd passage - collecting or collecting the remaining eggs.
I strongly recommend that you practice each of the above chapters and learn the pitfalls in them:
Chapter 21 - passing through the neon letters of the hotel (switching timing is quite long).
Chapter 23 - saw jump using one box
Chapter 25 - saw jump using two boxes (placed vertically on top of each other)
Chapters 36-39 - an ending in which difficulty will be caused by another neon letter (switching timing is faster than in chapter 21) and an endless change of gravity. The final jump in the game is quite simple to perform: you just need to jump forward upward onto the gravity switch arrow so that you fly above it, and in the subsequent gravity change when falling down, clicking on the gravity arrow will direct you to the right to the final location of the game. The jump is made a couple of seconds after the gravity change, when you are standing upside down.
2-3 attempts and the trophy is yours. The main thing is not to interrupt the passage of the game if you happen to die at the very beginning - this will give you additional training.

A second playthrough is not necessary; eggs can be collected (before collecting) through chapter selection.
According to the passage itself with no more than 5 deaths, there are several nasty places where it is especially easy to die, namely:
- neon letters - you need to jump on the letter N while the neon is still burning;
- jumping over the cutting disc using a box, also with a worm. Here the tactics are as follows: stepping on the lever that starts the mechanism, we slow down until the box falls and the disk moves closer, then you need to have time to climb onto the box and jump over the disk. Another difficulty is that before this we ran for a minute and a half in a relaxed state, but here you need to pull yourself together as much as possible;
- jumping over the cutting disc using two boxes - there are two buttons, each of which opens the manipulator that holds the box. The difference in pressure should be approximately 3-4 seconds, then grab the first box and pull it to the second, which should fall on the first. Then we climb onto them and jump onto the ledge;
- at the end of the game we will again encounter neon letters. The difficulty is that there is no time to think for a long time - a cutting disk is approaching us and the second one needs to switch gravity in flight. This requires practice and, as in the first case with neon letters, you need to jump while the neon is still burning;
- as you go through the letters and almost until the end of the game - this is approximately 3-4 minutes of game time. This also requires practice; there are a couple of nasty moments where you need to figure out how to get the gravity to change during flight.
In other places you can die, but it’s more from excitement, lack of attention, or simply by accident.
Another piece of advice, if after 10 attempts you haven’t succeeded in knocking it out, and the number of deaths is growing and you die in the most ordinary places, where it would seem that you have to try harder to die, put off the game for not a day or two, but a week or two, and come back to it later.
I myself got through 4-5 complete playthroughs, not counting the first one, when I was getting acquainted with the game, and there were still 3-4 playthroughs when I started the game from the beginning before reaching the credits.

On PS4 you can pause it and send it to sleep. If you don’t have time to go through it in one go. But the most important thing is to take your time! When I tried to get this trophy, I died where I had passed before.
