How to unlock the Undead and Untouchable achievement in The Gunstringer - Definitive Guide
Some tips
1- Find someone to play with! The game is way more easier in 2 players, it exactly the same except you got 2 guns permanently to defend yourself instead of 1! Dont worry tho, i was able to do this alone and so can you!
2- Be sure to master the infinite shoot trick! You can target up to 6 enemies before shooting. BUT when you start shooting, if you target more enemies before the last bullet is shoot, it'll keep shooting until you cant target more. It will help you greatly for the skull walls.
Here a video i made for you, i already had the achievement when i made this so it wont pop.
It the same video i have use in my Perfectionist guide ( Gold Medal ) because i was able not to get hit on that run.
Good luck!
The part I kept stuffing up on was the wall after the second pair of fire breathing babies (3:50). Make sure you start shooting early.
Tips:
1) There are a few tricky positioning points. The worst of these is, fortunately, right at the start where you have to cross four or five bridges. Basically go as far as you can to the required side, then come back a little bit. The game is quite forgiving and seems to adjust you automatically if you're in the general ballpark area. If you "feel" this happening, don't move and he'll cross the bridge fine. The only other positioning bit that might cause trouble is shortly afterwards where you have to manoeuvre through a gap between the stone sarcophagus things that rush at you.
2) There are lots of walls in this level made of skull blocks. Utilise the "infinite six shooter" trick here. Target some blocks, shoot, and then keep your target trained on the bottow row of blocks, moving it left to right slightly. Blocks fall down to replace the blocks you've destroyed, so doing this will keep targeting those falling blocks.
3) The hardest section is about a third of the way through, just after the stagecoach goes behind a wall of knives and the Gunstringer is forced to turn left and go up a hill. There is a large wall of skull blocks at the top of this hill, which you have plenty of time to shoot away, but immediately afterwards there is another skullblock wall preceded by a (literally) sharp zig-zag walls of knives that are tough enough to manoeuvre through, but you have to be shooting the skullblock wall at the same time. I would concentrate on shooting the central columns, as there isn't really a lot of time to clear the whole wall. After you make it through the knives, you can take the Gunstringer through the gap you've hopefully made. If there is one block left in a column, jump over it! If you can do this section, you can do the rest of this level no problem.
4) Any time you are simply following the stagecoach, keep your target trained on the back of it, perhaps moving it left to right slightly. It will occasionally throw out six zombie dolls. If you target correctly, you can have all six of them tagged as soon as they are thrown out. Easy.
5) About 2/3rds of the way through, when faced with a choice of a left or right path, always choose left. Choosing this path will firstly give you four easy-to-dodge ball things (they come at you in a simple left/right/left/right pattern), followed by a skullblock wall that you have loads of time to clear.
.
6) The only other tricky bit in this level is when three coffins appear in a row in front of you. You have to kill the zombie dolls that emerge from them, then dodge left around the coffins. AS SOON AS YOU ARE PAST these coffins, veer right QUICKLY to avoid the knives that will fall. This is then immediately repeated, but in reverse.
On the act: "Requiem for a Gunstringer" you must complete it without losing a heart. Your health is measured by multiple hearts. However, every time you are damage it only does half a heart. However, even if your heart becomes broken in half it still counts as losing it so you can not be damaged at all. First clear out the three skull walls and progress to the bridge area, as you make your way across the bridges hold right, left, right, and finally hold left one more time to make it pass the bridges, don't forget to jump at the tip of the bridges. If you are having trouble with these just remember to move your hand slowly and smoothly, same goes for the rolling heads and flying coffins. Now for the two purple fire trails simply stay in the center and zig zag between them. You shouldn't have any trouble with the puppet skeletons that fly at you but, if you do simply be aiming at the coffins before they come out. This achievement is difficult and will mostly likely take a few tries.
