How to unlock the Hidden Treasure achievement in R-Type Dimensions - Definitive Guide

These spores are the red and green things spread throughout the fourth mission in the first R-Type. There are 5 special spores hidden throughout the level, but remember that they are the same size as the normal ones so they may be hard to hit. Plus most are in hard to reach places, so I recommend playing on infinite mode, so that you can die and move into position while you are invincible. If you manage to hit one, you'll get a quick message on the screen, showing how many you have found, and the hidden spore will be replaced with a red flag. You don't need to get these all in one run, as they are accumulative. Although the red flag will no longer be there, when you return to the level.

As mentioned in the other solution, the first two hidden spores are in the beginning half of the level and the other three are in the big spore mess located right before the boss. Here are the locations of the 5 hidden spores.

1) When you first start the level, you'll notice two columns of spores. They might be a bit hard to make out, because two enemies will quickly enter and start filling up the screen with more spores. However if you pay attention you should be able to tell which are the original ones. The first spore is located at the bottom of the second column.

2) The second is located right after the first opening at the bottom of the screen. After the opening, there will be a raised area of sorts followed by a flat section. Where the raised and flat section meet, there is a short stack of spores. The hidden one is at the bottom of that stack.

3) You'll find the third at the beginning of the area completely filled with spores. You'll know what area I'm talking about, when you see it. The spore is located at the left of the first opening in the top.

4) This one is found almost directly below the third, so if you aren't fast enough you might have to start another game just to get this one. It is located at the left of the first opening on the bottom.

5) The final spore is right at the end of the spore filled area. It is at the bottom where the scenery ends, when the floor opens up completely. To be more specific it is on the very bottom row, about 8 columns from the end of the spore area.

This can be done across multiple playthroughs. After you get one it will display a notification on the top of the screen.

Refer to the video below for the locations.

In stage 4 there are 5 hidden blocks that you need to destroy, they look like standard blocks but flash in the middle. The good news is you don’t have to get them all in the same playthrough:

On stage 4 of R-Type there are lots (and I mean lots) of small green circles with red dots in the middle. These are spores, and over the course of the stage there are 5 of these hidden away in places that are hard to reach without dying.

I suggest you play the game on 'infinite mode' in order to make getting these much easier, as most of them are next to a wall on the left hand side meaning getting your ship in front of them to destroy them is almost impossible. On infinite mode you can simply die and fly over the scenery while you are invincible after respawning.

I take no credit for the locations, Mr.Brightside021 very posted them on the
forums, his original thread can be found here (LINK).

1. At the very beginning of the level you will spot two vertical rows of spores. The hidden spore is the one right at the bottom on the left hand side.

2. After the first gap in the scenery, you will spot a single sport directly followed by a vertical row of 4 spores, the hidden spore is the very bottom one in the row of 4.

3. You will soon come to a section completely filled with spores, in this section there will be alcoves in the scenery at the top and bottom filled with even more spores. The third hidden spore is in the first alcove at the top, the very top of the screen. It is the top spore on the very left hand side. It can be difficult to get, but if you kill yourself and then charge up a shot while still flashing, the charged shot will be big enough to tag it for you.

4. The fourth hidden spore is just below the third, in the bottom alcove, again on the very bottom, the left hand side of the alcove.

5. Just before the boss, just after spore number 4, there will be two rows of 8 spores, the hidden one is at the very bottom on the left hand side.

If you don't manage to find them all in one run, don't worry, the game will still count them. It's even nice enough to have the ones you've already found flash red from then on, so if one of them is flashing red it means you have already found it.
