How to unlock the Serkan Gear Solid achievement in Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom - Definitive Guide
It is fairly easy to unlock this achievement. The only place to achieve this is on the 3 Arrows area. There will be red spots on the ground from spotlights. These are the areas you want to avoid. You can go through the light but do not step on the red on the ground. I repeat, just the red circles on the ground needs to be avoided. You will know if you are spotted or not, the screen will flash red and alarm sounds will go off....obviously...because you set off the alarm....anyways. Get through this whole area without being seen and you will unlock the achievement.
Note: I was curious and tried to set off the alarm a few times just to know what it was like to set it off, so I know if I did or not. I stood in the middle of a red circle and the alarm did not go off a few times and other times it barely touched me and it went off. So being spotted is a bit finnicky, so I advise saving often. It is not hard to avoid the lights though so you should not have any problems with this.
After defending Mantara City and collecting a few ship parts, you will head to this one-time location (The 3 Arrows). The only thing you need to worry about for this achievement is when the red searchlights are scanning the top of the train. Basically, do not ever set foot on the ground when it is red. You can jump through the lights and even get hit by the lights when you're walking on the bottom cars of the train (which will for some reason knock you over), but that won't actually trigger an alarm unless your feet hit red ground. I did not have any issues with this section aside from needing to jump over a gap with two searchlights crossing over each other. This is when I realized you could jump through the light without setting off the alarm. Just time the jump so when you land on the opposite side of the gap the light on that side will have moved.
A couple of tips:
1) Do not touch the red circles from the spotlight on the ground.
2) Save often.
The trophy will appear even before the end of the level (when you just enter the last car).
Quite a simple trophy.
