This is easily the hardest achievement in the game. I suggest doing the 5th level (the one with the right angle corner directly above you) over and over until you learn the timing on the part where you sling yourself to the left.

Here's me getting the achievement. Look at 45 seconds in to see what level should be practiced the most.

You made this look incredibly easy, so now I have to go try it

Your level 5 was by far the easiest way to do it+1.

By KILLING5PR33 on 28 Oct 2015 16:28

Glad I could be a help! That 5th level was the only "unenjoyable" part of this game.

Fantastic guide man, you had some great tactics i got stuck on 6 and 5 your sneaky tactic on 6 got me the achievement.

Cheers for this, that one part was driving me nuts

Do you have to quit & restart the lot if you die?

By T Joob on 27 Jun 2017 12:46

Nah you can't, you need to do it in one go!

By Hazy#4027 on 29 Jun 2017 09:57

From what I remember you have to quit out and start the entire universe again. One screw up and you have to do it all again.

By TheAaronLad on 29 Jun 2017 14:55

Yeah, you have to quit out the world and restart, it if you die.

By Goldyvoxx on 29 Jun 2017 20:53

I cannot believe how easy you made this look, amazing. I was having troubles with level 5 and what worked for me was backing up to the rock by the house, aiming just above and to the left of that first corner, then when in air quickly aim at the second corner and it pulled me in.

Here's a video of my completed run. I use a slightly different strategy for that one tough level: playing

By KiRRAYNE on 05 Apr 2019 14:02

Was a little bit rough and took a decent amount of attempts for me. Level 5 of course was the holdback.

By Seitzz on 06 Sep 2019 23:00

I did manage to get through on the first try when I made it past level 5 though which was nice. Glad I didn't mess up after getting the hard one down.

By Seitzz on 06 Sep 2019 23:01

My very first run for this achievement I died on level 4 but made it through level 5 just fine. Then for another 30 minutes I beat my head against the wall because I couldn't make it past 5 consistently. Finally it came together.

By ICE Faux Pirate on 14 May 2020 14:46

There is something inherently wrong with the 5th stage. Not just how tricky it is, but for some reason, seemingly every damn time, there's a slight stutter when you're midway through the level. A quarter to half a second. And it'll continue holding onto your controls for that time, even if you let go. So you end up slamming into the wall and dying.

I spent a good 3 hours trying this with a right-stick drifted controller. As soon as I switched over I was able to unlock this within 20 minutes

This achievement was/is brutal, but I was able to get it done after about an hour of frustration

This helped a lot thanks, It may be helpful to put video in the guide without the link. Is there any chance you could do a guide for speedrun, struggling with that one.

By UnTaMeD x SaGe on 14 Jul 2015 16:58

Huge help this was I had the achievement within 15mins

By Conor x420a on 25 May 2016 20:17

That placement makes it easy, thanks

By t0xz on 03 Sep 2017 09:47

Couldn't have done it without those placements, thank you! Easily the best solution for this achievement.

To unlock the Horse head you need to find the Hat which is located in the Fat cake universe. Once you have the head equip it by pausing the game and selecting the hat. Once equipped you can now play through Straitjacket Darkness universe and get the achievement. Follow the video below if you have any trouble and good luck!

The key is to master the timing and circle placement on the 5th level and spider-man webbing the following two levels. It frustrated me at first but like everything; you just need to practice.

Straitjacket Darkness is the seventh world in the game. The horse hat can be found in the eighth world and is shown at the beginning of the video below (see "Hatsamungojungo" for more info on all the hat locations). Switch your hat by pausing the game and moving up the hat section and pressing to choose.

There is no time requirement for this, so take your time and line up your jumps before going forward. You'll need to master the "mini-jump" for balancing yourself through some of the small corridors with lasers on both sides. The middle level where you need to do two diagonal jumps through lasers is really the only difficult one.
