How to unlock the Immune to Lava achievement in Max: The Curse of Brotherhood - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be earnt very EASILY without any hassle, and you can die.

Start the level, and play it normally, if you die, no problem, just keep going.

When you get to the part where you kill the beast, progress into the next room.

You'll find yourself in a small tunnel with an earth pillar at the end, while your being chased by lava, go up the pillar.

Now pause, and return to the main menu. Press continue.

You'll find yourself back in this tunnel, but the death counter is now fresh. The game starts a new session and thinks you have died zero times.

Now just climb the final tunnel and exit the level without dying for your achievement. If you die, repeat it by quitting to the main menu and continuing. From this point the level is only about 45 seconds long, so it's not much to master.

Hope it helps.

I'm sure you would, it's actually really easy X5! If you can do the final bit, you can probably also do the start bit!

OMG. I dont think I couldve ever done it without doing it this way. You saying that its only 45 seconds left in the level is a bit misleading though. I died multiple times after continuing. Great solution though.

Was not able to get achievement this way as already passed this level so when clicked continue it went back to where I was on chapter 7

Advise people not to progress after this level if you are wanting to do this way

This achievement is not unlocking for me. I've legitimately beaten the level 3 or so times without dying and I've beaten it a handful of times quitting and hitting continue if I do die, utilizing your method. It just won't pop. Has anyone else had this happen?

I can't confirm this solution because I had already advanced to 7-1, meaning that the continue option puts me there instead of at the earth pillar in 6-3. The solution should include a note about this.

First time didn't work for me.
I had to do it 3 times to get the achievement.
In one of the runs I got the LAST piece of the amulet in here and I do not recommend trying to do that (if it is the last piece, which was my case) because the animation of the complete amulet takes longer, causing the lava to cover the exit and you die.

Also, this technique of going back to Main Menu and Continue the game only works if you didn't pass the level, otherwise selecting Continue will lead you to the most recent level, and not back where you left.

I just did it from that checkpoint and didn't get the achievement. I'm pretty sure I died a couple times getting to the checkpoint, but didn't die after loading it from the main menu and no achievement.

I started over and got to the checkpoint without dying, quit to the main menu then continued. After finally getting through without dying from the checkpoint I got it!

If you're having trouble try this it worked for me today

Looks like in the 360 version you cannot go back to the main menu and try again, because once the story is over there is no continue option...

So long as I didn't pass through to LEVEL 7, will the continue method work if I logged out of game and came back the next day to try again? I got really frustrated with this puzzle and figured it's better to come back to it. This particular area really has me stumped, for some reason I keep doing the wrong things at the wrong times. I ended up getting the amulet fragment but had died 2 or 3 times getting there lol.

If no one knows, if and when I get it I will post results here for everyone.

12-19-22 I started working on this on 12-15-22. I never passed through the door to the next level. On day 2 I actually got the amulet piece but had died a few times up. After 4 days of practice I just now for the first time (using the back to main screen/continue method), and logging into and out of the game daily, I finally made it without dying. I waited until the last second to go through to the next level but it didn't pop until I passed to level 7. It made no difference that I had logged in and out over 4 days it still popped.

Hope this helps someone.

Video-guide of Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood to get the Immune to Lava achievement. For this select chapter 6 - 3 and pass the stage without dying.

Tips: I suggest you move forward as nothing is chasing you to kill you. The puzzles are simple, just move forward as you normally do and you'll pass it easily.
If you play thinking that something is chasing you, you'll get nervous and die quickly.

This achievement is really a bit complicated at the end of the chapter, but it can be achieved with a little training and luck, but following the video it shows you a simple way to achieve.

Avoid falling into lava. If you die in lava, you'll have to restart the whole level and try again. That includes the beast for the "Burn, baby, Burn" achievement, too. Achievement pops if you avoided the lava through the entire level.

Note to self: One of the achievement "Burn baby, Burn" was not only a story related achievement, but was also performed by Disco Inferno.

For this trophy, you must finish the level Death By Lava (Chapter 6-3) without dying. The stage takes place in two phases.

In the first phase, you need to escape the chasing beast by moving forward in the level, using your magic powers as you go along in order to advance. When you get the end of the section, shoot a fire ball at the beast to reveal the locked door in front of you. Shoot a fireball at one of the locks and then another one at the beast. Repeat with the other lock and then the beast again before advancing forward. When you get to the end the bridge, raise the earth pillar to topple the bridge backwards knocking it and the beast in to the lava below (just make sure you get on the earth pillar yourself so you don't fall in as well).

The second phase takes place right after that while the lava below you is rising. You must create a vine from up above and attach it to your earth pillar, then climb up it in order to reach the small hole on the left hand wall. After that you will enter a section where you need to run through a cave until you get to an earth pillar spot to raise you up into next area. In this area, you must climb upwards using ladders, ropes and your magic powers to avoid the rising lava. The most tricky part of this can be one or two of the ladder sections as they can be crappy to grab hold of as you just jump off them instead of grabbing on, so pay close attention when you are doing them.

Once you finish the level without dying, the trophy will pop.

Chapter 6-3 [Death by Lava] is where you'll unlock this.

Similar to the 'Perfect Sliding' achievement, you're again tasked with beating a certain section of the level without dying. Like before, play the level a few times, be it checkpoint by checkpoint if it helps. and learn what's where and when so you don't make any mistakes. The part you'll need to complete without dying comes at the half way point after the Troll. You'll be tasked with climbing your way up the level while being chases by a constant flow of lava.

If you're fast enough, you can actually lose the lava and have a pretty safe ride up to the exit. I'm not sure if the game glitches or I was fast, but at about the 1/4 mark onwards, I'd lost the lava and was playing in a darkened state of play where I had no pressure of being killed.

Once you've done the above, you can now attempt this with a little more ease. The pressure is taken off you a little when you can restart this section if you die, thus cancelling out your death. If by chance you do die during the lava section, quickly quit your current session and exit to the main menu. Now simply click continue and you'll be put right back into the sliding part of the level with your deaths being reset to 0.

It's also worth noting that if you restart the checkpoint, this counts as a death, so you will have to quit and continue for your deaths to reset.

Chapter 6-3 [Death By Lava] is where you will unlock this. This isn't the easiest level to avoid dying, but it is pretty short. You are being constantly chased at first by a huge enemy, and then by lava, but you have at least a couple of seconds at each obstacle to work out what to do. Take a couple of practice runs to know the layout, shouldn't take you more than a few attempts.
