How to unlock the Extra ball! achievement in Shark Pinball - Definitive Guide

The required steps for this achievement are the following:

1) Get the ball on the top level
2) Keep hitting the buoy in the top left corner until the red ladder structure has moved twice
3) Hit the ball into the gap on the right beneath the ladder so it runs up it and drops back to the lower level
4) The large shark should now have opened its mouth, “Mission Start” will appear in the upper text box, and 8 barrels will appear (5 on the lower level & 3 on the top level)
5) You now have 60 seconds to hit and destroy all 8 barrels, and doing so will unlock the Extra Ball. If the ball goes out of play, get eaten by the shark, or the time limit reach zero the mission will fail and you will need to try again.

It's a very annoying table because it's so easy to lose the ball to the sides or have the ball eaten by the shark when you finally activate the extra ball mission.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how the table wants me to get to the top level. Seem to get there just randomly hitting near the jellyfish and can't get it consistently. Even then getting the barrels activated and then getting up there again is way too tough. This is a really bad table design, probably worst yet from these developers.

I am finding this table to be the worst I've ever played. Like the above commenter, I can't seem to figure out what exactly needs to be done to push the ball up to the 'surface' level; I'm constantly trying just to hit the ball up in to the 'deep water' part of the board and hoping for the best.
Likewise, I don't actually have ANY idea how to trigger multiball, despite having done so at least six times so far.
Not sure even what the best way to rack up score on this board is, the only thing I seem to find gives any decent score is completing 'BAIT' at the lanes at the bottom, giving 200k points each time but of course also making losing the ball likely down the outlanes.
I've managed to activate the Extra Ball 'mission' at least a dozen times, but have yet to get back up to the top level during one, nor can I see where the 5th barrel on the lower level is, and DAMN is that stupid shark mouth magnetic? Literally the first time I activated the mission, the ball dropped down and IMMEDIATELY went into the shark mouth with no input from me whatsoever. It's responsible for at least a third if not half of my failures on the Extra Ball.

I too finally managed to grab this (and my remaining score-related achievements) today, so I'm also happy to put it down. But before I head out, I do want to thank OP for the useful guide to how to get the Extra Ball on the table. I only have one suggestion to add to the guide to make it more useful; a screenshot of the table with the mission/barrels active and the barrels circled would be great. I finally figured out where the 5th barrel on the lower level was; didn't realize it was basically hiding behind the shark head (I play exclusively on Camera 3, which may have contributed to it hiding on me for so long).

Just got this achievement and this is by far the worst achievement to get compared to the other tables. That octopus is the most annoying obstacle on the table. I can't tell you how many times I activated the barrels only for the ball to drop down and hit the octopus and the ball go right into the sharks mouth.

Secondly, hitting the barrels on the main playfield isnt so bad. The hardest part is trying to get your ball to the top level and this table is so bad it seems completely random at times as to when you go up there.

All I'll say is to try and be patient with this table. This table can be quite infuriating and taking breaks helps a lot.

It wasn't that bad. Although I'm as confused as everybody else as to how to consistently get the ball onto the surface. But once its on the surface its easy to move the ladder and activate the mode.
Even if you die (I hate that octopus) the ladder stays in place so you can restart the mode even quicker with your remaining balls , so you should get 3 attempts a game.
You can get multiple balls onto the surface with multi ball but I couldn't quite activate the mode whilst my 2nd ball was on the surface. But if you can do that you'll probably clear the barrels easy.
