How to unlock the Perfect Sliding achievement in Max: The Curse of Brotherhood - Definitive Guide

Choose Chapter 3 Sliding Escape and complete the first section guiding the Spiky enemy to the monster then proceed onto the sliding section.

In order to make this achievement easier if you do die on the sliding section just pause the game & select main menu, then choose continue, you don't even need to be quick about it.

The game will reload right back at the start of the sliding section with your deaths reset to zero.

This cuts down the frustration of having to redo the 1st section over & over and in effect gives you infinite retries.

Also, as stated in one of the other solutions, the most likely place you'll keep dying is right towards the end, at the vine you draw when the hollow tree breaks. The jump you have to make off that vine requires incredible timing. You have to jump a little early. If you wait until you reach the pinnacle of your swing, you'll go too high and not far enough.

Thanks for the help. Had to "Main Menu/Continue" multiple times and it popped as soon as I got to the next area.

This method does not work once you move on past the level. I ran through the entire level to get a hang of the jumps. I entered the next level, 4-1. Jumped back on the Main Menu to go back to 3-3 to try for the no-death run. Everytime I quit out to the menu, and choose "Continue" it puts me back into 4-1. Lame

You have to choose chapter 3 and do the 1st bit leading up to the achievement zone. If you cleared level 3 and choose continue of course it would start you on chapter 4.facepalm

Nice, gonna have to give this a go. I didn't bother going for it on my play through, and I only dies right at the end. So I thought it was easy. How wrong I am. Its been hard as hell since then.

I even noticed, that I have a skull in level-selection, so some part of the game recognized, I did it without dying, the part giving the achievements does not. Freaky. This is one of the buggiest game I've come across...

I "unlocked" this on August 1st. It's the last achievement I needed for 100% completion, and it won't pop. It's now going on August 4th and I've tried every "fix" I've come across and nothing has worked. I also have an achievement in Strike Suit Zero that has not popped. True Achievements says I have 5,330 achievements unlocked. I also track them on xboxachivements.com and I've matched my gamerscore to my profile on there and it says I only have 5,328 achievements. Microsoft needs to fix this issue asap. It really deters me from trying for Xbox One achievements in fear of this happening on other games, which seems likely given the forums I've read.

Yes, I also read about it, there is even at least one thread here in the forum. It seems it isn't a problem with the game, it should be a problem with Xbox One and Live itself...

Darthbane99 is right. I got past the level and got to 4-1. I start Chapter 3 Sliding Escape, and when I die and go to Main Menu to hit Continue, it leaves me at 4-1. How do I get past this issue?

Nevermind. Just finish the game and the "continued" level will reset, allowing you to continue from the Level you are currently playing.

Has this happened to anyone else? My game glitched but in the best way possible. So in the beginning when i jumped to land on the earth platforms over the plants i landed on one of the plants then the beast jumped past me. I then jumped on to the platform and became the one chasing the beast. By the time i launched off the ramp to the vine the beast was gone. I spent the rest of the sliding without being chased by the beast. Weirdest Achievment pop ever

I thought I was having a problem with a glitch too. I was actually just reloading a checkpoint at the point I knew I was going to die. I would say the achievement is actually for not using a *checkpoint* reload, regardless of whether or not you die. After a few failed attempts which seemed like they would be fine (with checkpoints), I tried once without any, and it immediately unlocked.

MrPoTaToAiM8 Not true. Just did this now with that method. Confirmed it still works May 7th 2022.

Its not a glitch IMO. It is by design. They want you to complete the sliding section without dying. By going back to the main menu you are starting the slide from the start where as if you continue post death you have a checkpoint near where you died in the section

Note: 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.

By Nando ShAmAn on 01 May 2023 14:37
As Nando ShAmAn said, if you pass the level before popping this, the Main Menu and Continue trick will not work, as Continue will put you at the start of Level 4. Does anyone think that Reset Checkpoint inside of the level would work instead of this Main Menu trick? (I haven't tried it yet, obvi.)

By skittlebiz on 07 May 2023 23:41
Nah, without the continue option I have no hope, I tried a few times but died and there are several check points so the only option is to "restart level", and I don't have the patience or time, so no completion on this game, but still a great game for its age.

I have this on the 360, and assumed it is fairly similar. I might be mistaken though.

Tried to choose Main Menu and the Continue, but I only have Select Level as my first choice.

I have beaten the game, and haven't been able to select Continue for any of the levels I have played since beating the last one.

If you have progressed past the level already, you just have to wait until you finish the game. The continue option will reset and then you can choose this level and use the main menu/continue method.

Great tip of going to the main menu. Restarting from scratch was putting me off a whole lot.

@ O Zorgnax - its been a while so you may know this - but if you think you have an achievement. go to your list on the console. If the padlock is missing then its unlocked but somehow has not popped and you simply wait(as you did) and it will pop in at some point :)

You should mention that if you go past the level, you need to complete the game otherwise the Continue option will take you back to the farthest level you have reached instead of continuing from your latest checkpoint. You should also mention that you can’t use Load Last Checkpoint. I knew I was about to die so I reloaded my checkpoint and then beat the level without ever dying but reloading the checkpoint still counted as a death.

For this select chapter 3 - 3 and walk through it without dying. The most difficult part would be the two last liana: in the first liana don't make the complete swing and jump a little earlier, like I do in the video, or you will fall always in the space.

I hope it's usefull, and If anyone vote negative I'd like to know the reason so I can improve in my future videos.

Chapter 3-3 [Sliding Escape] is where you'll unlock this.

I'd suggest you play through the level first to make sure you know it off by heart before you attempt this. The start of the level is easy, it's the sliding part that'll get you. Again, play through this part a few times by dying and checkpoint restarting to learn what happens when.

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 sliding 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 3-3 [Sliding Escape] is where you will unlock this.

This is a chase level, that huge enemy will be pursuing you again. There are a couple of tricky bits in this one, but it is all about timing your jumps correctly. The game is pretty generous in the fact that you can leap way further than the objects you have to jump over, so make sure you jump early to avoid getting snagged. The second to last rope swing will cause you the most problems, as the way the rope swings back with your weight on it seems to be pretty random and sometimes when you release you will come up short. As the level is pretty short, it isn't too painstaking to retry, and should only take a handful of attempts.

For this trophy you must finish the level Sliding Escape (Chapter 3-3) without dying. The majority of the stage is you running and sliding away from the Beast who is chasing you. You will have to jump over obstacles and pits while using your magic abilities on occasion to help advance you forward. Just keep holding forward through out the entire stage so you keep moving when you hit even ground as you want to keep as much distance between you and the beast as possible in order to give you time to react to the level as it unfolds. Once you finish the level without dying, the trophy will pop.
