How to unlock the Hard Boiled achievement in SONIC UNLEASHED - Definitive Guide

This is probably the most annoying achievement to get in this game. To start, you will be switching back and forth between Hedgehog and Werehog, so you only have one trial type: Time.

Level 1 gives you 75 minutes to complete the stage, level 2 gives you 65 minutes, and level 3 gives you 45 minutes. The main thing that makes this annoying is that it is relatively easy to die in this level. In the boiler rooms, move carefully and slowly. Unlike the other challenges, time is not a factor as long as you trek through the Hedgehog areas at a slightly quick pace.

Probably should use a speedrun vid. Can't remember if Paraxade used any glitches or not but I know usually they use glitches and/or hard stuff to pull off which can mindgame people into taking harder routes

In this run, he used an extremely outdated route. No glitches were used in this run because none were known for this stage at the time. I also mention that they should use the vid only for the general route, meaning if they choose to use the route, they should do so at their own pace.

FYI, the last platforming section of the 3rd Werehog part (tubes excluded) can be completely skipped with not much effort. When you enter it from the tube, sprint to the bottom-left corner of the platform you got on from the tube, jump while sprinting, and press cn_Y to use the Spinning Needle Attack. You might need to use your double jump to correct your positioning but it ain’t a hard shortcut to do consistently. Example can be found here: https://youtu.be/4terDQXG9b0?t=489

11 years on and I still can't beat this level without dying, haha

I would recommend not using speedrun strats though, you're far less likely to die and the required time is pretty generous

So 60fps and the reduced controller input lag on a Series X really helped me get there. After an hour of trying I beat one run, earning me the "eat all foods" achievement. So I've proven to myself that it's possible.

I actually had far more issues with Sonic's areas than warehogs. Main pain points for me are:

2nd Sonic area with the cart in the tube = lots of easy ways to fly off the side due to stupid controls. Unfortunately you just need to learn the quirks of the route and work around them - I particularly avoid boosting at the end where the cart crashes and instead using the homing attack on a few enemies before running onto the speed ramp.

3rd Sonic area with the pushy cubes that you have to jump on. Some cubes unfairly kill you the moment they go purple, sometimes the cubes move in a different pattern to normal (possible bug?) causing the faster route to be unaccessible/likely die trying to get to it. Just needed to remember which cubes were the "dodgy ones" and completely avoid them while they're purple, and if you see the timing of the fast route cubes are off, then it's best to just go the other way rather than die trying to get up there.

3rd Sonic area again, in the huge room where you navigate up the perimeter jumping on pushy cubes, springs and one time spawning enemies. No tips really, it's a shit area. You can't be slow as the floor disappears, and you do just need to rely on the homing attack to lock on correctly.

If I managed to get past those bits, then there's only one big jump as the warehog after that which takes a massive shortcut that's risky. Final area, big lava room, you normally navigate down the perimeter - you can jump from the start of that room right to the end - the camera does not help you with this so you have to take a rough guess as to where to point the analogue stick with your running jump.

I went carefully and was able to beat this in less than 20 minutes for the Lv 1 trial.

This is the hardest and most frustating acheivement to do on Sonic Unleashed.

First off, in order to unlock the Eggmanland Hot Dog missions, you will need to beat the game. When you beat the game, go to Eggmanland in the World Map and select ''Go to Eggmanland''.
Walk up to the Hot Dog stand and press cn_A. There will be only one challenge, the ''Time Trials''.

Time Trial Lvl. 1 will have 75 minutes, Lvl.2 will have 65 minutes and Lvl. 3 will have 45 minutes to do.

In the boiler rooms, be careful to not fall on the pipes. Move slowly.

Also, the majority of the enemy fights you encounter in this level are skippable. These fights are just to the game make you take a long time to beat Eggmanland. The only enemy fights you will need to do is the one when you get into a circle and there's a switch with lasers blocking it, and the titan enemy fights.

The titan fights are the last thing to do in Eggmanland. I highly recommend to you upgrade your 'UNLEASH' to a higher level (I upgraded to level 10) since there you will need to kill one titan in a single room, then TWO of them in a single room. Pressing cn_RB to use your unleash power will make you kill these two faster. Keep button mashing cn_Y (or cn_X) on any of the titans, and avoid their attacks.

I've been having a ton of fun with this game in 2023 so I made a walkthrough of this achievement. You can see the path that I use and I detail how to actually play the individual sections (hopefully this will help keep your deaths down). Ultimately, you just have to be persistent. I can beat this stage almost every time at this point. I've also accounted for a few additional variables that COULD happen within the stage.

This video is excellent. Easily repeatable and the commentary telling of potential dangers and pitfalls was very helpful.

Eggmanland contains the hardest hot dog missions in the entire game. I recommend that you do every other hot dog mission before this one. Unlike all of the other hot dog missions, Eggmanland only contains time trials. For the first mission, you have to beat Eggmanland in under 75 minutes. Then after that, you need to beat the level in under 65 minutes, and then finally, 45 minutes. Here's a video on how to do it.

These trophies are the hardest in the game. I RECOMMEND YOU UPGRADE SONIC & WEREHOG TO THE FULLEST LEVELS BEFORE ATTEMPTING. Each continent has a vendor with special missions for you to buy and complete. You must have rings in order to do these missions. The higher the level, the more it costs to attempt the trial. If you fail any hot dog mission you'll have to rebuy AND restart the level from the beginning. Remember to take your time on some of the missions here. You do not want to almost reach the end of the stage and then make a mistake that will cost you.

For every continent except Eggmanland, here is the format for the daytime missions with Sonic the Hedgehog:

  • Time Trial (Lvl 1, 2 & 3) - Complete the stage within a destinated time. Time to complete gets shorter in the next level.
  • Battle Trial (Lvl 1, 2 & 3) - Destroy a certain number of robots. The number increases as you reach the next level.
  • Ring Trial (Lvl 1, 2 & 3) - Get a certain number of rings before hitting the goal ring. Number increases as you get to the next level.

For every continent except Eggmanland, here is the format for the nighttime missions with Sonic the Werehog:

  • Time Trial (Lvl 1, 2 & 3) - Complete the stage within a destinated time. Time to complete gets shorter in the next level.
  • Survival (Lvl 1, 2 & 3) - Complete the level without dying. The health meter shortens as you progress to the next level.

There are 9 day mission trials and 6 night mission trials PER continent except Eggmanland. Eggmanland only has Time Trial levels 1, 2 and 3 (which is awesome!).
