How to unlock the Sky High achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide
Start an Exhibition match 1v1 with no bots.
Mutator Settings:
- Boost Amount: Unlimited
- Ball Size: Gigantic
- Gravity: Low
Simply start the match and knock the ball into the air with the car going for the achievement. Once it's a good height, press Jump () then hold until you hit the ball. Once you get an "Aerial Hit" on your screen get that car away from the ball. Use the second controller/friend to knock the ball into their own goal. Since credit for goals go to the last person on the team that hit the ball, your Aerial Hit is considered what scored. Achievement unlocked.
If you're having trouble getting the hit then try the Neo Tokyo map. The raised sides reduce the height needed considerably, but the bounce is less predictable to line up.
NOTE: If you meet the requirements and this doesn't unlock double check that you are connected to the Rocket League servers. If you're not, then try to get them back on by starting an online match then try again.
Hoops method
(NOTE: With the Neo Tokyo update, starting position is random so the other method will work more reliably. This will still work, but getting the right start can take time.)
Start an Exhibition match by yourself with these settings:
- Game Mode: Hoops
- Bots: No Bots
Mutator Settings:
- Ball type: Basketball
- Ball size: Large (Gigantic won't score the ball)
With this mode the ball fly's into the air at the start. All you have to do is drive past your own hoop then jump () and boost () into the ball. Easier said than done, though. If you miss, just restart the match. It may not register an aerial hit every time, but it will award an aerial goal. I've used a different account to verify that pressing twice as well as getting the aerial hit are NOT required, only the Aerial Goal. The below video is just a few ways it can go in and still count.
Optional:
- Gravity: Low
I found this more trouble than help, but you should try adding this to the others if you're having issues.
As you can see, once I hit the ball I get an award for an "Aerial Hit" which is what is required for the achievement. If you think you are doing the right thing but not getting the achievement, check that you get this when you hit the ball.
You must at least be at the height of the goal. If you find the ball is not high enough you can set the gravity to light.
Mod used:
Gigantic ball and low gravity. 1v1 with no bots
knock the ball in to score after hitting it in the air. To achieve an "Aerial Hit" youll have to HIT the button twice (,) to double jump. Some people have had issue with this without using mods, myself included. I tried 50 times with normal settings and this video shows my 2nd attempt with the mods on
So I set up the game as an exhibition 1v1 with no bots. I also put mutators on for low gravity and unlimited boost.
Once the game started, I first drove around to face my own goal. I then used full-boost () to approach and hit the ball, then instantly jumped () and boosted () to hit the ball in mid-air for an aerial hit.
This may take a few tries however I was lucky and on my first attempt at this method, the ball rolled (very slowly) into the other goal getting me the achievement.
Please view the video for a better explanation and demonstration.
Hope this helps!
It requires a second controller or a friend.
Set up an exhibition match as follows:
Mode: RUMBLE
Map: Pretty much any
Team Size: 1v1
Bots: No bots
Mutators:
- Max score: 1 goal
- Boost: Unlimited
- Rumble: Spikes only
1. Once the game starts, wait 10 seconds and you will receive the spikes powerup. This sticks the ball to you.
2. Activate it using and then drive into the ball, so that it sticks.
3. Now boost up the wall and drive along the ceiling. When the spikes disappear and the ball is thrown, "AERIAL HIT" will appear at the top of your screen. If it doesn't, retry until it does.
4. Use the second controller or get your friend to drive the ball into their own goal. It should say you scored, the game will end and the achievement will pop.
(Credit to the others for step 4)
This is my first guide so if it helped you then please upvote it to let me know :)
If you have any problems with this method not working then please tell me. It worked for me.
The trick to this is bouncing the ball off the crossbar- which will be familiar to anyone who has full-on boosted straight at the ball from spawn.
Once you've (over-)hit it, start flying in that diagonal as shown, and hopefully you can hit it from above and knock it in.
Drive up to the ball and slowly push it towards the wall, you want to make sure that you drive the ball up the wall and not bounce it. Once you're about to see the ball fall away from you jump backwards off the wall and hit the ball. Make sure you get Aerial Hit on your screen.
If you're lucky the ball will travel on its own towards the goal. If not simply pause, switch teams and hit the ball in your own net so that the team you started on gets the goal. The trophy will pop.
If you use the switch trick too, it's much easier than any other method!
I have tried another method which will be easier for you as I was having sooo much trouble. Here are the details:
PRIVATE MATCH
Game Mode: Soccer
Arena: Aquadome
1v1
No bots
Mutators:
Unlimited match & score
Ball weight very light
Ball size large (no need to be Gigantic)
Unlimited boost
Rumble with spring
Start the match no matter with colour of the team and move the car just with the boost around the walls without touching the ball, until the rumble reaches the red punch. Then, jump off the wall, boost and hit the L stick (while in the air) to use the red punch to hit the ball. With this method, you will get both Mr Bubbles and Sky High
First go to exhibition soccar as the game mode. Arena I would put as Beckwith park but that’s just me it doesn’t matter. Team size 1v1 with no Bots even if your not using 2 controllers
Mutator Settings: Rumble: spike rush
Boost amount: unlimited
Once the game begins your car will normally be in the middle so drive towards the ball with your main account but don’t hit it, the spikes will appear then pick up the ball having the ball stuck to your spikes. Drive back to your goal on the wall and and turn around so that your facing the opponents goal but still on the wall. Drive toward their goal still on the wall jump off using A or X I believe for PS4 when your in the air jump towards the goal and you can even spin forwards to get close to the goal and then hit Rhe left stick, which causes the ball to be released then if the ball doesn’t go straight in have the second controller hit the ball into the goal.
* make sure when you release the ball your still not on the wall your in mid air otherwise it won’t work*
Sorry if this doesn’t work for you it did for me...

In order to get an aerial goal, the bottom of the ball must be above the top of the goal and you must hit the ball while in the air. This can come naturally in play or you can easily boost it offline or online, in solo or in co-op with a friend.
Method 1: For 2 players or 2 contollers:
Thanks to TheManUtdFan for this method.
At the main menu go to exhibition (number of players doesn’t matter) and no bots. Put yourself on one side (let's say orange) and the second person or controller on the other side (blue). When the match starts get some turbo if you need it. Drive the ball (as orange) up the wall and jump () off the wall to hit the ball in the air. Make sure it says "AERIAL HIT". If there is no indication of AERIAL HIT, then try again. Once the game indicates you have done an AERIAL HIT, then use the second controller or boosting buddy (blue) to knock the ball into their own goal so that orange scores. This gives the orange car the Aerial Goal. If you don't have 2 controllers, then try the boosting thread
Here is a video showing the method by me, even though my son missed with the second player car:
Method 2: For one player one controller:
Thanks to ImStylinOnYaBro for this method.
Just go into a 1v1 exhibition match with no bots and select whatever team you want (let's say orange). Then use the method to drive the ball up the wall and get an aerial hit. Once you get the aerial hit, pause the game and switch to the other team (blue) and score on your own (blue) goal. This will give you an aerial goal.
Here is a video of BeforeJam doing the single controller method:
To score an aerial goal, you must press to get your vehicle in the air, followed by pressing to boost your car into the ball and into the goal.
A good method is to first change the mutator for boost amount to unlimited before entering your match. You need to essentially turn your car into a rocket with the boost.
You know you scored an aerial goal because you will get bonus XP for an aerial hit.
This method helped me: we start a 1v1 game without bots, playing as blue, roll the ball onto the wall, hit it (aerialhit needs to be displayed), then pause the game and change the team to red; score a goal into the red goal with the red car. The trophy is yours.
Also note that at the beginning you don’t need to press turbo, then after hitting the ball, you need to press jump, turn the car over and press turbo so that the car continues to fly without going down! 5-10 minutes of effort and the trophy is yours.
