How to unlock the Stubborn achievement in Pikuniku - Definitive Guide

After you meet the mother worm in the mine, there is a room to the left with a computer that you need to enter in order to get the game cartridge from the small worm.

Once you have the game, head back out of the mine, leave the beach, and take the train back to the forest. Then, head up the elevator, go just a little right, and jump up into the cabin with what looks like a Space Invaders logo on the door.

From there, you can use the cartridge on the TV to play the game. The tricky part is getting 999. One technique is to stand under the first number. If you manage to stand in the right spot, then the ball with just keep bouncing off your character and the wall repeatedly until you get the achievement. Here is a video as an example:


It will definitely take some trial and error though.

All credit to Mr Splash.

Edit - If you got the game cartridge, then finished the story before playing the mini-game, you can still select 'continue', and make your way to the forest.

In other words, you wouldn't have to start a new game.

Edit 2 - I'm going to highlight the comment from @Lockie since it seems to be working out better for some:

"Just did it then by placing the guy directly under the last digit and facing him left. The ball ended up hitting the back of his head really fast so I got to 999 in about 8 minutes."

None of these seem to work any more, as when you do it it appears to give the ball random amounts of momentum, resulting in it slowing down or speeding up, making it near impossible to bounce it off the wall.
UPDATE: Got to 189, and it dropped the ball for no apparent reason, didn't touch the controller at all...

UPDATE 2: Same technique, same spot, worked better this time...failed at 902...again, same reason, randomly dropped, didn't touch controller

I have just got this achievement and it is a pain, but definitely possible. I found it easier by standing one pixel to the left of the final counter digit. So not directly underneath like in the above video. Hopefully this helps some hunters.

Lockie method nailed it on the first try. Much easier to line the back up with the last number and had no issues with the ball dropping. Little dude is 300 into the next set and still going right now.

I used the same technique as mosh. I left my character in the spot and waited for the ball to bounce on me. I did other stuff while this was going in the background. It took about 2 hours to finally get 999 after getting over 700 several times. Really annoying, but better than the attempts to actually bounce the ball and position myself over and over.

Mosh has the best technique! Follow the exact spot in the video and wait for the ball to drop in the exact location

Can confirm - After trying for about an hour unsuccessfully, I watched this video and got it set up on the 5th try or so. Note that it's quicker to hit B and exit as soon as the ball drops in the wrong place, and then hit X to restart the game, than waiting for the mini-game to cycle itself.
Once the ball was bouncing, it took less than 15 mins to get to the 999.
Thanks!

mmm i thought i had this the other night but i sadly somehow died on "527" No idea how that worked - was going to uninstall but tried again a few days later and well my ball has dropped a bit closer to the wall and is double as fast as before so it is going up now 250 and going very fast so i am confident i will get it this try - thanks for method- just to note it doesnt have to be as exact as the video or so it seems -

Warning!!! Must be at least 1000, not 999 like the achievement says. I moved away at 999 thinking it was over and the achievement did not pop

Did the same thing as moshmachine. FWIW i ended up waiting about 10 minutes for the ball to drop in the right place and 10 more for the achievement to pop.

Got to 400 and the ball fell for an unknown reason. I did NOT move the character at all, just left it and waited for a new ball to fall perfectly. It only took about 10 minutes for a new ball to spawn perfectly and begin bouncing, that ball made it to 999 and beyond easily.

Aim to wedge the ball between your forhead and beak. Youll get it more often. Also press Y every 100 to keep your controller from going to sleep.

This is pure bs. 134 and suddenly the ball drops without the character moving. I honestly had more fun with Flappy Goat. At least it didn't have random nonsense, just predictable poor hit detection.

The place the ball initially drops is pretty random, so you do need to keep it up a little bit. Basically you want to bounce it until you can get the ball bouncing between you and the wall, while you are standing under the 3rd number (1s place). Then you can let it sit without needing to move anymore.

I got tired of waiting for a ball to drop in the right place so just started headbutting it a few times until I was in the right position facing right, made it to 738 before it fell for no reason. Then I didn't touch anything, waited a few minutes for the ball to finally drop correctly and made it to 999, remembering to press Y every couple hundred points.

If your doing the "afk" method I recommend once you get it going to hit the xbox button, the game still plays and you have zero risk of accidently moving the character while you keep the controller from turning off.

It may seem stupid but, if you use a ruler agsinst your TV to make sure that the pixels are aligned then it's just a waiting game.

Thanks @Lockie!

Facing left under the last number worked perfectly 👍

Another +1 for looking left under the end number - I tried for quite a while facing right but the first time I face left I got to 999.
Probably worth mentioning the colours of the minigame alter every 100 points scored - the first time I got to 100 I dived for the controller as I was taken by surprise by it! Luckily I didn't mess the combo up haha.

Further +1 to Lockie comment: line up underneath the right-most digit and face left.

It took two tries for me. The first try, it worked up to 500 then the ball dropped. Second attempt worked flawless. I didn’t move at all once I got lined up and it took maybe 10 mins for the balls to keep spawning until it worked out.

make sure you touch your controller every once and awhile so your controller doesn't die laugh

I also used Lockie's idea and it worked quite quickly. Just stand directly under the big number on the right and face left. Put your controller down and wait. DON'T back out and re-enter the game as you'll have to move your character back into position each time, which could result in you being in a slightly different spot. Instead just stay still and wait. Eventually the ball will spawn in the desired position where it automatically starts bouncing back and forth. Don't worry if the arc of the ball changes slightly each time, for me it would drop a bit lower every few hits but then correct itself. Just make sure to press Y every now and then to keep the game/ your controller on but make sure not to touch anything else on the controller as you don't want to accidentally move or back out.

Similar to Pudmoney, just got to 757 without moving and then it randomly dropped

For those who are struggling with the proper pixel placement, and trying to do it legit, you can press A when the ball hits you, to give it some more air.

Mr Splash's idea worked well. I took a piece of straight edged paper and lined the pixels of the beast's back with the right hand side of the middle number. It's hard to line it up perfectly on the TV screen, but after waiting for just 2-3 minutes in what seemed like the same pixel grid as on video, a random spawn dropped the ball into this bounce sequence. As of the moment Im posting this, i just passed 700 & waiting for the cheavo to pop. Cheers! & Pikuniku was fun!

You need to find the video game cartridge in the Old Mine. During the story, you will meet the Mother Worm. To the left of her is a jagged wall you can enter. There is a worm in here playing games on a computer. Talk to the worm to get the video game cartridge. Now head back to the forest and find the house with the pixelated video game character poster outside. Inside the house will be a gaming console that you can play the video game cartridge on.

This mini game requires you to bounce a ball on your head, each bounce is 1 point and you need to get to 999. If you miss the ball and it touches the ground the score resets. An easy way to get this is to position yourself, so that your nose/beak is lined up with the outside of the last number in the score. This will cause the ball to bounce off the edge of your head and the wall without any other input. It may take a bit of trying to get into the correct position, but once you get here you can just put your controller down. It will take around 10-15 minutes to reach 999.

the cartridge is in the worm's possession
The console itself is in a forest village.
There is a bug in the game; if you stand immediately after 0 in the center, the game enters a loop and scores points on its own.
