How to unlock the Half Way There achievement in OlliOlli - Definitive Guide
This trophy requires you to complete all 125 challenges found across the 25 Amateur levels. You unlock each level just by getting to the crowd at the end of the previous level, but you should not move on until you complete all challenges for that stage. The difficulty curve for Amateur will help to serve as a second tutorial of sorts for the rest of the game, as the game slowly throws more and more at you. It is important that as you get comfortable with the controls early on, that you begin to get your timing down on landing perfect tricks and grinds for some of the later score challenges that can be tricky starting in the fourth world. There will definitely be levels that frustrate you as you get used to the controls, but once you get the flow of the game down, this difficulty should begin to fly by.
Every level will have a challenge to get a specific score, and another to get a certain combo. If you do not get the combo challenge in one run, go through the level again and find where is the longest string where you can chain together a long score. Sometimes you may think one jump between rails is too far and land on the ground, but figuring out how to maximize speed on sloped rails can help you extend that combo. Getting bigger combos will be key to getting the best scores. Also note that some challenges do not require you to finish the level. If you see a notification pop up in the bottom left corner of the screen, that means you have finished that challenge regardless of if you get to the crowd.
Most of the other challenges require you to do any of the following:
- Land a specific trick or grind
- Land a combo of a specific trick into a specific grind or vice versa
- Collect a certain number of items while going through a stage
- Don't perform a grind for a certain distance.
- Don't kick for speed for a certain distance
- Complete the level in one combo
- Grind all of the marked rails before finishing (signified by pink markers)
- Clear a certain gap in the level (signified by a blue marker)
There is also one challenge near the end of the Amateur playthrough to spin 30 times before completing the level. Since this is the first time you really see this, you need to hold down in or while performing a trick to spin. You will continue to spin until you let go of the button, so make sure you let go before attempting to land on a rail or on the ground.
