How to unlock the The Great Escape achievement in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - Definitive Guide

There is an incredibly easy method to obtaining both this and the "Jump jump slide slide" achievements.

Before entering attempting this, ensure that you have the "Magical Tiara" item, which grants you unlimited magic, as well as either the "Super Mega Puff" or "Flamethrower" spells. Ensure that you have one of the aforementioned spells equipped, then begin the sliding sequence. As soon as you can jump, perform as high of a jump as possible and hold down the magic button. Flamethrower and Super Mega Puff allow you to float in place, and with the Magical Tiara you will never run out of magic, allowing you to float in place indefinitely, floating you over the entirety of the course. When you reach the cutscene, the achievement will pop.

Additional tips for this method:

1. Since the currently selected magic isn't displayed during the escape slide, you might consider selecting the "Super Mega Puff" or "Flamethrower" spell just before beating Tinkerbrain to ensure readiness. If not, you will still have time to change magic, but you won't be able to see which without activating it.

2. During the escape sequence, a wall of fire / lava will slowly advance from the left, but it stops before reaching mid-screen. I assumed it's deadly, but I never got close enough to confirm. Because of this, it's better to position yourself high, middle to avoid everything.

3. Others have mentioned failure to achieve after dying and restarting. I suspect that the cause of death might have some affect. I died by falling in a gap, without ever touching a gear, and still got the achievement after my successful second attempt.

I can confirm this works. It's a little confusing because your magic does not show up on screen, but you are able to scroll between spells still and use what you have equipped.

Magical Tiara item? I don't have that yet (but I also dont have all relics). But your solution sounds very good, gotta try that. EDIT: Maybe you could mention, that you get the tiara from the mayor after opening all 10 art gallery doors.

Anyhow: When I did make a mistake, I let myself die to retry. But when I made it after a couple of attempts, the achievement/trophy didn't pop. Not sure if you have to earn it on the first attempt or if thats just a glitch maybe.

Playing the game on PS4, just for the record.

Invincibility bubble also seems to slide you right through the gears and pop the achievement. Either that or I miraculously made all of my jumps over the double gears just now when I had it equipped.

Confirming that invincibility does work, hit every gear on the way down and it unlocked.

While this trophy is typically a bit challenging, it can be bypassed (at least, as of right now) by utilizing what the game gives you. By unlocking all ten gallery doors, the Mayor will give you a Magical Tiara that grants you unlimited magic. Couple that with a level three spell like Flamethrower or Storm and you should be able to lock yourself in air and prevent any of the gears from damaging you, ever.

Should you be interested in doing this without a cheat, the goal is to jump over every gear and dual-gear in your way as you escape the hideout. You CAN die and re-start this, but only if you have not hit a gear at all. If you did hit a gear, you will unfortunately have to quit and go back through the boss fights prior to this point. For that reason alone, I'd definitely suggest just using this to get it over with as soon as you can during your first run.

To prove my point, here's a video:

This achievement is VERY EASY if you have obtained the magical diadem from the mayor for bringing back all ten art gallery keys. This relic grants you unlimited magic.

1. Equip the diadem and a fully upgraded fireball or storm cloud
2. Jump, then hold the magic button on the highest point in the air. Even if it is not seen in the HUD, it will work
3. Just float through the sequence
4. Profit

This trophy is referring to the conveyor belt escape at the end of the game (see Pummeled Pirate). Similar to Jump jump slide slide, you are required to jump over several obstacles without getting hit. Doing this legitimately can be tough, so wait until you have the Magical Tiara (see Master of Unlocking) and use either the Tier 3 Fireball (Flamethrower) or the Tier 3 Storm Puff (Super Mega Puff) to simply float over all of the gears.

NOTE: If you get hit by a gear, you will need to quit the stage and defeat the final boss again in order to get another chance at this trophy. You cannot simply die and try again.
