How to unlock the Weight of the Beast achievement in The Cave - Definitive Guide

You will need to play as these 3 characters:

Knight (229 lbs)
Hillbilly (175)
Time Traveller (194)

In the Carnival level (where the scale is) you will find 3 items:

Sledgehammer 15
Wrench 3
Barbell 50

Just have each character carry these items onto the scale and then hit (x)

The Lahaarl makes a great point in the comments below: Be sure to do this BEFORE getting the ticket, otherwise the scale will no longer function!

There may be other combinations, but I haven't tried yet...

THANKS... I tried so many other combinations... Didn't think the time traveler was heavier than the monk or the scientist... I think your combination is the only one that works.

Well, I have discovered that the Monk is also 175 but I don't think you can replace the Hillbilly, otherwise you probably couldn't do the carnival level... For those that are curious: Scientist 138, Adventurer 142, Twins 114 (and they can't seem to pick up the barbell for some reason?), and Monk 175. Yeah, you need the 3 heaviest to add up to 666 with the 3 objects, if I've done my math right...

Great advice! I went ahead and noted it in the solution. Thanks for this!

Sometimes the obvious isn't quite so...obvious, to me anyway. For me to offer this tip is my way of dealing with my humility (which comes in all shapes and sizes). ALL the characters must stand on the scale with each holding all three items mentioned AT the same time.

I picked the knight, time traveler and hillbilly in my first playthrough but missed this one. I guess I need at least 5 and a half playthroughs now since I need to start over with exactly these characters.

Only obtainable during the Hilbilly's playthrough

There will be a scale during the "Carnival" puzzle where a man guesses your weight. Across the level you will find a sledgehammer, a barbell, and wrench. Have your characters hold these items and all stand on the scale at once and press the square button. The man will guess your weight as 666lbs and the trophy will unlock.

The barbell serves no purpose outside of this trophy so feel free to discard it afterwards.

This trophy can only be earned in the Hillybilly’s story.

Firstly, to earn this trophy, you must select the combination of the Hillbilly, Knight and Time-Traveller at the start of the game. Then, once you reach the carnival, you need to find the wrench, sledgehammer and barbell. Equip these 3 items with each of the 3 characters (it doesn’t matter who carries what) and stand on the pressure pad on the “Guess Your Weight Machine”. Press the button with and the attendant will guess your weight as 666. The trophy will subsequently unlock.

Bear in mind that you must attempt this before solving the puzzle and getting the “Carnival Ticket” from the machine, otherwise the attendant will have closed the ride, forcing you to reload the checkpoint.

Required: Hillbilly, Knight and Time Traveler.
Once you're at the carnival you'll need to gather up the Wrench, Sledgehammer and Barbell and - while holding these items - stand on the scales. Do this before solving the scales puzzle as once the puzzle is solved the scales will no longer work. Here is the math for you:

Hillbilly - 175lbs
Knight - 229 lbs
Time Traveler - 194lbs
Sledge Hammer - 15lbs
Wrench - 3lbs
Barbell - 50lbs
Total - 666lbs!

In the level with attractions, you need to put three characters on the scales - a knight, a time traveler and a farmer. Each person should have an object in their hand: a hammer, a wrench, a dumbbell. The scales will show 666 - the trophy is yours.

You must weigh yourself before you pick up your ticket from Barker, otherwise the scale will not work!
