How to unlock the Walkin' on Water achievement in Shadow Complex - Definitive Guide

The lake that they are referring to is the first one you come across after Claire gets captured and you're being attacked by a helicopter as you cross it. There is a cabin with supplies in the middle of it.

You'll get hyperspeed later in the game after you've acquired the Omega Armor and the Friction Dampener. You'll have to cross the lake to get to your next objective after getting hyperspeed, so this is the best time to get it. The lake will disappear a short time after this as part of the story. Starting on the left side, kill the solider and Bomba inside the cave so you can get a running start. It takes 5 seconds of constant momentum to activate hyperspeed.

If you start as far left as you can in the cave, you should activate it right as you start onto the dock. Run constantly to keep the power active. Right before the cabin you'll have to jump to get onto the island, and you should run up the logs and over the house, landing back on top of the lake, still running as long as you don't let go of the stick and X. You'll have to jump once again to clear the dock on the other side of the lake, and when you do, achievement unlocked.

Darn. It looks like you beat me to it. I was planning on posting this solution, when I noticed no one else did, but I wanted to make sure that I had every detail right first. However, you've seem to have done a perfect job on explaining it.

As I said when I got the achievement, "Jesus may have been able to walk on water, but I fucking RAN on water, and I got an achievement for it." :D

To make the solution a bit clearer, you can get this achievement when your objective on the map screen states "Go back to Claire and escape from the complex" (or more specifically, on the way to the objective). If you turn on the "blue line" with X in the map screen, you pick up a Coil rifle at the start of the line and the lake you run across to get this achievement is about 2/3 of the way to the objective. Using the flashing objective marker as a landmark, go directly left on the same row until you get to a save room (white star, red background); go up one row and continue left to the next save room; four rows up from this save room is where you start running to hyperspeed across the lake (the lake is out to the right).

Just to add a little comment, you don't need to hold the stick once hyperspeed kicks in. As long as you hold X, you'll keep running.

Before you can do this you will need the friction dampers which you will collect as part of your progression. You will know when you're in the right area as you will see a lake with a house in the middle. A chopper will attack you around the house, build up speed by holding , you may be able to stop in the middle with the house to build up further speed. Once you hit the edge of the land jump while at full speed to sail across the lake.
