How to unlock the Quetzalcoatl achievement in Snake Pass - Definitive Guide
Hello everyone,
This is more of a warning/tip rather than a solution. I played through all the levels and when I died I would just retry. When I completed the last level, the achievement did not unlock.DO NOT RETRY (Press start than ). This did not work for me. What you need to do is either dashboard or quit out of the level and reload it. I did a mix of both, but if you want to be safe, just dashboard and reload.
Now some tips:
1. You should be good until the last water level. For the obstacle where you need to ride it to get the pink gem, and than traverse onto the next one. I would not coil and the moment you get the gem, haul ass while lifting your head up. This should make you clear the gap easily and the rest of the level is smooth sailing.
2. On the fire levels, if you fall in some lava, there is time to escape, you just need to move quickly.
3. The middle two fire levels are the harder ones, for the turning obstacle that you need to ride across a large gap (I believe in the third? level). I would wrap yourself over the long horizontal bar, and than quickly coil one of the smaller vertical bamboo sticks. When it gets close to the other side, start lifting your head and use the momentum to shoot yourself forward.
4. For air levels, you need to commit. Don't try and backtrack on an obstacle as I found myself failing more often than not. Noodle is quite resilient and if timed correctly you can use gravity and the momentum to your advantage.
5. Last level is the hardest. I recommend practicing this level a couple times before you get the hang of all obstacles than going for a clean run.
6. I DID NOT DO TIME TRIAL. I only did normal mode.
Recap:
1. Do not use the retry option (). This messes up the achievement.
2. Practice makes perfect.
3. I didn't do time trial so, you can unlock it through normal mode.
Thanks for reading, I understand its more of a tip rather than a solution, let me know. First time writing a guide so I appreciate any feedback!
UPDATE
According to HawkeyeBarry20, you can now press () and it will no longer void the achievement. This now makes this achievement a lot less annoying! Good luck everyone!

Can confirm is this correct, I couldn't complete it on the first go even after going back and retrying several times . So I started a new game on the 2nd save slot and did the levels one by one in order of unlocking without retrying. I also exited out to dash and quit the game when I died or was about to die.
Like I said I did it one level after the other so I never went back and did a time trial either

Is there a way to know which levels were done deathless ?

You might have seen that loading tip that tells you that collecting all the Gatekeeper coins is the hardest challenge. That's a complete lie.
First of all, let me give you the best advice to make your life easier. Switch the control scheme to Easy. You get far more control over your actions, which means you're also not fighting against the awkward physics system most of the time. The hardest stage in my opinion is 14, because you can't really cheese it as much, and the addition of wind pushing you around can throw off the physics engine a bit.
However, there's one thing that the physics engine allows for... and that is manipulation. With some practice, you can skip large chunks of stages making this far more easier than it should be, and let's be real, the devs have a really sick sense of humor when it comes to making an achievement for no deaths in a game where you're constantly at war with the controls (and chances are they didn't even do this achievement themselves).
I used the following video to get a lot of ideas on how to run each stage, but remember, you'll need a very good understanding on how to perform some of the more advanced tech as they require very tight movements to pull off.
Sadly there's not much else to say... you can cheese this achievement in a sense, but it still relies heavily on personal skill, and some luck since the physics may not want to play along on helping you along. I suggest doing this first so you can keep track of what stages you cleared without deaths, or alternatively, start a new save file and just aim for this.

Easy controls are harder and more confusing that normal ones.

that was easy 1000 gamerscore for me

It is recommanded to do this achievement ather a 100% collectibles playthrough. First, you will have the knowledge of the levels and the tricky sections. Second, some Coins and Wisps highly increase your chances to die so you will save a lot of effort doing them first.
As previously said, there is no way to track this achievements's progress. But I can confirm replaying in any order works, as long as you don't die. If you do, just Start -> Retry, it does not affect your achievement other than starting a level all over again.

Possibly the hardest achievement in the game.
If you are trying to complete the game ASAP, try to get your first playthrough without dying, by just following the main path, and the 2nd to get all of the collectibles.
Take your time in the last level. It takes around 8 minutes to complete if done at a decent speed, but any mistake will make you restart completely. The other levels are a lot easier, and mistakes won't cost you that much
Also, make sure you note somewhere which levels you've complete without dying. There is no way to track it inside of the game, so you might have to redo everything once more if you aren't sure of it.
Besides that, I don't really have any tips... Doodle's a saver in most cases though.

On the Internet they write that the trophy is slightly glitchy. I replayed after finishing the game, replayed all the levels and nothing dropped out. Then I started a new game, saved it to the cloud and ran through it. In case of death, I closed the game, loaded a save from the cloud and tried further. It was long, muddy, and uncomfortable, but in the end the trophy fell out.

If you are sure that you are about to fall or die, then there is a chance to quickly press pause and exit the game . Restarting the level after exiting does not block the trophy. The main thing is to always save every progress without dying to a cloud or to a USB flash drive.
