Do You See What I See

Survive Darkness Deadly Descent without equipping a headlamp or pulse goggles (in World Tour)

How to unlock the Do You See What I See achievement in SSX - Definitive Guide

This is Mac's Deadly Descent located in Africa on Kilimanjaro.

Here's how you can turn one of the harder deadly descent achievements into one of the easiest. Simply crank up the brightness, backlight, gamma, etc. settings on your television so that you can see in the dark. I managed to do it on my 2nd try with this method.

Also remember that there is no time limit so don't rush. Hold LT at all times just in case so that you'll grind a ridge or rail when you approach it. This will help you from falling off the edge.

If you give me a negative vote please comment as to why so that I can improve my guide. Thanks!

I thought it was pretty obvious because it's really the only pitch black descent in the game, but it might be a good idea to add it anyways. Thanks SmakXD.

I think the key to all of this is to hold 'LT' the entire time. I got this first try with min effort no fault and without adjusting my TV. Most of the terrain will steer for you so sit back and relax. As long as you don't oversteer, you shouldn't go over any ledges. If you do come close, you will be able to grind on the edges of paths. The only time I really took control was to aim for rails.

Yeah, like I said you might as well just hold LT the entire time just in case you come close to an edge.

Very tricky. Tips:
-Max out all image settings on your tv.
-Equip a slow board before starting the event.
-Press down on left stick to go slow and even stop-practice full stopping-slow or stop the fwck down at every red firework you see on your route.

Near the end of the Tour, you will be in Africa. The last event in this region, is called "Kilimanjaro " and they recommend you use a headlamp of pulse goggles for the event, because of the darkness.

Choose this event, and make sure you are NOT wearing a headlamp of pulse goggles. You should have a very low survival probability (4%).

First thing, make sure to adjust the screen brightness on your television to the max setting! Adjust the contrast/colour ratio to something that will help you "see" in the dark. This alone will make everything much easier. Just take your time to get to the bottom. Also, grind as much as possible by holding LT. If you grind the side of the crevice and don't jump you eliminate the chance of yourself falling as the game will basically steer for you. Jump make sure to time your jumps when getting off the side of the pathways. Avoid jumping or boosting without reason. Also, you are allowed 3 total rewinds, if you ever take a nasty spill, and they will not prevent you from attaining the achievement.

Note: Don't forget to remember your old television settings and change them back when you're done!

See the video for a better explanation of what to do and where to grind!

Sorry if its hard to make out but if you're watching this you know its pitch black in the caves! Watch it full screen.

Turn your brightness, contrast, backlight and colour UP on your TV.

Make sure you use a low speed snowboard. Always hold down LT so you grind the edge if you nearly fall off. If you feel you're getting too fast just tap back on the left analog stick

I recorded this video so you could see what route i went and so that it hopefully might help you.

Here you have to complete the Deadly Descent on Kilimanjaro with no head light or pulse goggles.

The best way to do this is simply to take your time and pull back on the stick to make your rider come to a complete stand still. This will help you focus on your surroundings and work out how close you are to any danger. It may take a couple of attempts to complete but it really isn't as hard as it looks and remember to use your rewinds when needed.

If you do not have alot of patience then you can easily obtain this achievement by adjusting your brightness on your TV/Monitor to full. I know that its not the legit way and some of you guys may like the challenge, but if your an achievement hunter and want to rack up the achievements on SSX then this is the best way to do it without throwing your controller at the screen. I'm trying to get this achievement "legitimately" but my friend decided to follow this step and he did it on his first attempt! and only had to use one of his rewinds.

For this Trophy, you have to survive Deadly Descent: Darkness without equipping a headlamp or pulse goggles in World Tour mode. This event takes place in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro - Snake Bite, if you have not previously completed this run you will be playing as Mac.
This Descent will throw you straight into a subterranean cave system with almost no light, at night. It's pretty dark down there, but here's where you get tricky. Turn the Brightness on your TV all the way up to 100%, play at night, and/or turn off other light sources to reduce glare. This will pretty much negate any challenge from the dark, and make it far easier to complete. I found this run easier to complete than with using the Headlamp as the entire course being lit the same made it easier to see your surroundings instead of what is directly ahead of you. Once again you have no opponent, so feel free to stop as often as you need to and take it slow. There are lots of railings down here and you can grind almost all of the lips on the crevasses, so if you're having some trouble with falling over the edges, you can hold down and grind most edges, though you may not want to rely on this as occasionally crevasse edges may end your grind due to little bumps. I highly recommend against using the wingsuit or boosting here. Boosting will made you a bit harder to control and may send you up the side of a wall or dunk you into a crevasse.

I did this: in the TV settings I set the brightness, clarity and contrast to maximum.
