Disturbed A Gatekeeper Idol In Every Level

How to unlock the Archaeologist achievement in Snake Pass - Definitive Guide

This achievement not too hard of a challenge, but it does take quite a bit of time to complete it. In order to do this, you have to have beaten the first 14 levels, allowing you access the all 15 levels.
Now, for the Gatekeeper Idols. In each level, there is at least one Gatekeeper Idol. Depending on the realm you are in depends on the style of the Idol you are looking for. My best bit of advice is to always look behind you right away, as a few levels do have one right at the start. Now, to disturb an idol, all you have to do is poke it in some way, and a sound will be played, signifying you have completed that level's Gatekeeper disturbing, and you can move onto the next one.
Below, I have a video guide showing where the idols are in order, but that doesn't mean that you have to use the idols that I have used, as I had found others in some levels that are easier to see or just along the main path more.

So once you disturb an idol you can quit the level?

I believe so, not 100% sure, as I was working towards Quetzalcoatl as well, so I never left a level, although I did leave all of the Air levels, so you should be fine.

Can confirm you can quit once you found them. Thanks for this! Was missing the fire ones, they looked different then the other three so I didn't end up finding any. Once I saw what they looked like, turns out I'd seen them multiple times haha

I am stuck on this achievement. I have done all the idols in the first 14 levels. The last level i have touched the idol and nothing happened. No achievement and whats weird... No sound that i touched the idol. Anybody else have this problem? Or is there maybe another idol in level 15? On the video I couldnt hear a sound either?

There was no sound on the 15 level when I was recording it, as I had already found it before I started making the guide. I'm thinking there is possibly a level that for some reason didn't count.

Once I had finished all of the levels, I did not get the achievement, and I had written down 1-15 and checked off each level as I went through... I went back to level 1, hit the gatekeeper, and the achievement popped right then. Maybe try that? Not sure if Ingot luck or what.

Does you snake eyes ability single these things out once unlocked? I'm assuming there is no indication in the level selection screen that these have been found (as with coins and wisps).

Snake eyes ability doesn't work on idols. Generally the idols are easy to find as they are quite big and usually on the main path.

Quitting the level works BUT you have to do it in one go without backing out to the save select screen our quit the game. The game won't save if you don't finish the level and while it remembers the idols you touched it only stores it in a temporary memory slot. As soon as you back out to the save select screen this memory slot is erased.

So there are multiple idols in most levels I've found. I wish there was more indication you disturbed the thing though. The distinct sound is made only the first time you touch it and it's not loud. These are much easier than the coins or wisps, except for the lack of a counter.

Each level has one or more elemental idols: Earth, Water, Fire and Wind. Your task is to find one such idol (At each level), touch it to make a characteristic sound sound and complete the level.
