How to unlock the The Insurgent achievement in Shadow Complex Remastered - Definitive Guide
Credit goes to Spacekop for the video.
While going for Insurgent, during the portion with the exploding rooms, I would get a repeated lag hiccup every time up the elevator shaft, enough that it made it impossible to climb out before being incinerated. After fifty or so attempts, I powered down the console, unplugged the Kinect and tried again. Smooth frame rates and got it on the first go.
Hope this helps someone out there avoid the frustration that I went through.
The guide is below, but please read these IMPORTANT tips first;
-- If not already, make sure you experiment and come to grips with the Foam bridge building during this quick playthrough as you will be using this technique a lot for the 100% Speedrun Trophies.
-- Make sure you have the Golden Gun room unlocked with the Inertial Element inside.
-- Make sure are you are at least level 30 so that Infinite Foam is unlocked (Use the farm method described for Charted in the TG if you are not)
-- Obviously play on Casual.
-- DO NOT collect anything else than what I do. You will notice that I avoid the cutscene in the 1st CCTV room. That'ss because it gives you the Pistol that counts as 1%. 4% will allow to collect only 4 items, as in the guide these are (1 of each): Health, Missile, Foam, Grenade Pack, NOTHING ELSE!
-- Just before you engage the Spider, is a GREEN door that leads right past this area. DO NOT GET TO CLOSE to this door. Stepping to close to this door causes the Trap door to close that leads to the heat room a bit later on.
-- You have no time limit for reaching the Spider, but as you make your way back to where the Trap door is, you will have about 30secs to reach the Furnace Trap door from where the 3 ladders and exploding barrels were. If the Furnace Trap door has closed by the time you reach, just reload your last save and try again as it will reset the Timer.
-- As long as you avoid the GREEN door in the Spider room, and make it to the Furnace Trap door within the time limit. It will be open.
-- Just after the trap door Furnace room, you will see me enter a large room. Slide down the ladder and grab onto a ledge below with a soldier. DO NOT miss this ledge. If you fall here, you will have to load the last save. Slide down the ladder like I do holding right and you should be safe.
-- At the end of the dark room, you will come to a Bomba that shoots Foam. Y ou must use this to open the door so DO NOT DESTROY it, and do not use any grenades to destroy Foam as they will also destroy the Bomba. Once the door is open, THEN you can destroy it.
-- Collecting the Missile Pack can be tricky as a fan will be trying to force you down at the same time. Try not to move or jump to much.
-- When Foam building upwards, just keep firing down and spamming crouch. It's quite simple once you get used to hit. Use grenades to destroy any foam.

PART 2:
To be able to do this you need to do what is called sequence breaking. You need to deviate from the "correct" path to get items before you were intended to get them in the story.
There are a couple ways to do this:
The correct way: You use a hidden path to make your way from the grenades to the foam, then you pick up some missiles and lower the bridge. Then you trigger the ending and finish the final boss. Here a post by Trips from the forums for the original game with a full walkthough.
The glitch way: Use a glitch called the Z-Slide to go around a panel that requires foam to get foam right after the first spider, then use it again to get around a missile panel in the caves to get the missiles then proceed to trigger the end. This method can be done in 15-30 min. Here is a video on how to do it.
You will also receive the Minimalist trophy.

1. Practice building foam bridges both up and down, because... During the passage you will do this quite often and there is practically no time for mistakes.
2.Make sure you have unlocked the secret golden room with the Inertial Element inside.
3. Make sure you are at least level 30. So you should have endless suds. If not, download the levels using the farming method, as I have repeatedly described in the tips and in the guide.
4. It is better to play at the Casual difficulty level.
5. In NO EVENT, do not collect anything unnecessary, anything that the author of the video did not collect. You may have noticed that the author of the video missed the scene while in the control room. This is because the Pistol counts as 1% of collected items. 4% allows you to collect 4 items, and this is a set of health, foam, rockets, grenades and NOTHING ELSE,
6. Before you meet the spider robot, there is a small ventilation in the room where you pick up the grenade kit. Try not to get close to her, because... the door may slam shut and you will have to take the access code located at the top.
7. When you build a foam tower, just try to aim down at your feet. If you suddenly make a mistake, reload the checkpoint. You can also blow up this structure by attaching a grenade to it, if, of course, time allows.
