How to unlock the Floor Is Molten Rock achievement in Snake Pass - Definitive Guide

I tried to do the other video's method for over 3 hours without success.

I then looked around the map, and did an alternate route, going from the pink gate piece to the yellow gate piece.

This route popped the achievement on my FIRST attempt. Make sure that you are playing in time trial mode, and if you've failed previously, quit the app ENTIRELY and reload it from the dashboard.
You can see my route in the video below:

This seems like the easiest method but I can't for the life of me get it to unlock. 100% did not hit the floor at any point on three goes, dashboarding between each. Glitchy achievement for sure :( oh well, I'll keep trying...

I got it by accident, I got the checkpoint just before the pink gem, collected the gem, messed up the jump towards the leafy bit you cling to in this video, fell off and went back to the checkpoint, then collected the pink gem again and the achievement popped.

I'm with Nopholom here. I tried the route in this video a couple times without it popping but then I picked up the pink keystone, died, then picked it up again from the checkpoint and sure enough it popped right away...haha. Thanks for the vid though, nice straightforward route.

Nopholoms method worked like a charm for me too. I tried the method in the video a few times to no avail sadly.

As Nopholom and DGMpayne, I got this achievement by collecting the pink stone, fall off to death and respawn at the checkpoint to collect the pink stone again.

GENIUS thank you! I couldn't do it the other ways but got it this way on my first attempt. One (very minor) criticism: why not start the video at 33 seconds? No-one needs to see the loading screen. BIG thumbs up from me though!

So I was going for your method and the achievement glitched in a good way, unlocking when I got to the first pillar in your guide. I'll still give you thanks. Got this achievement my very first try (in story mode).

I did this several times and never got the achievement even after quitting to Xbox dash. After painstakingly getting all levels with out dieing achievement I reinstalled the game but still no achievement and reattempted it. But still no achievement unlocked.

I then bit the bullet and permantly deleted my save from console and cloud with a game reinstall thrown in aswell and what do you know got it first attempt using this route

Just popping in to say that I also got the achievement using Nopholom's method. It's certainly cheezing it, but it's wayyyy easier. Get the checkpoint by the pink gem, collect the pink gem, jump off the ledge and die, get the pink gem again. I had been trying to get it from green to yellow gem and this was 100% easier haha.

I just did this in the stupidest fashion. I was going to try a method of getting the pink first and working your way towards the yellow via the side walls. However I failed completely fell off the edge and respawned at the checkpoint.

I then picked up the pink again and the achievement popped.

Here's the clip of what happened.
(Unfortunately you don't see it pop but it appeared around the point where I turn away from the top of the tube)


I figured I'd post this so that others might be able to replicate it. Good Luck.

Same here, did this accidentally after trying another vid's solution a couple times unsuccessfully but sure enough it popped right away after picking up the pink twice this way.

I was trying to follow Dwaggie's guide above, and I overshot the platform in between the 2 gems after getting the pink gem. After I respawned back at the pink gem, the achievement popped for me about 10 seconds after grabbing the pink again from the respawn checkpoint. This is definitely the solution to follow!!

For anyone who's come here looking for the guide for the PS4 version, I can confirm this method works there too as I just got it. Great tip :)

This can be done more easier than it ask. Just go and touch the checkpoint near the pink stone, take the pink stone and then fall yourself off to die and once you respawn from the checkpoint, take the pink stone again. That made the trick for me, and I did it in Normal Mode, so don't worry. This achievement is said to be glitched and hard to achieve, so better do this.

First of all, like other achievements in this game, even if you fulfill the requirements the achievement might not unlock. In order to prevent this, attempt the achievement as soon as you start up the game. If it does not unlock then dashboard and quit the game to try again.

You CAN touch the floor on the way to the first key.
You CAN touch the raised level above the floor level on the way to the second key.

Like "No Diving", this achievement seems to be extremely glitchy. After a couple of hours of trying, I unlocked this on a completely random run that I was sure I failed. I did clip it, though, so you can see it here:



This confirms a few of the mechanics of the achievement, at least:
- You just need to get from one keystone to the next without touching the floor.
- Touching the wall (even grassy wall) is fine.
- I'm guessing you also can't touch the floor for a few seconds after picking up the green keystone. This is very annoying, as Doodle will drop your tail once you do. As you can see, my tail drops at the end, but only after a few seconds.
- The achievement unlocked for me a second after the green keystone appeared in its outline.
- I had a very poor jump in this clip. You can actually jump directly to the green keystone (though I haven't managed to do this without my tail dropping to the ground).
- I started the level fresh from the level select menu (NOT using retry). No idea if this is necessary, but doing this is what got me No Diving, so who knows?

All I can suggest is that this achievement's requirements are bugged and enough attempts will randomly get it for you. roll

EDIT: As of June 21, 2017, this has reportedly been patched. I'll leave the solution up, but hopefully this is much more doable now.

I'll try to make a video guide in the next few days but I'd just like to point something out, Do not touch the floor doesn't mean you can't touch the floor between the two gems, it means you can't touch the floor on your way to the first gem.

Basically at the first set of bamboo you have to make your way all the way to the green, and then Yellow gems without touching the "ground level" (the lowest floor after the initial bamboo puzzle) and not touching that ground level again until Doodle actually takes the gem from you and fills in the collectible screen. It's incredibly infuriating and tight, with possible leeway given for the tip of your tail touching the ground as you'll come awfully close many times as Doodle is carrying you.

This isn't easy, I thought I'd add my two cents, and good luck.

To do this achievement, you're not allowed to touch the GROUND floor, after touching the first Keystone. Even the tip of your tail will make the achievement fail, so make sure you use Doodle's ability to hold it up pretty much all the time you have to go over it.

We climb to the green in the usual way, wrap ourselves around the crossbars, pick up the stone, and make sure that the tail does not touch the ground (the main level is considered the ground). At this moment, the trophy condition begins to work. Then we pick up the tail of the bird, jump onto the central platform and forward for the yellow one. And it is important not to fall to the ground until Doodle eats the stone completely. The trophy drops immediately. I tried to pick up the red one after the green one, as well as the yellow and red ones (there you can go up the chute in the opposite direction) - the trophy does not fall out.
