How to unlock the On Top of Things achievement in The Talos Principle - Definitive Guide

You'd be forgiven for thinking this achievement requires some sort of special setup, but in fact it's story related and cannot be missed.

Like previous devices, such as the connector, the hexahedron and the recorder, the "platform" is an unlockable item required for progression. It can be found in the cathedral, (building C).

Once you've unlocked the device, look for any puzzle in world C that has an icon which matches the achievement picture of a guy holding the platform above his head and the "play" icon indicating the presence of a recorder.

In the puzzle, set the recorder going and pick up the platform. Walk towards a low ledge or a hexahedron, and stand there for ten seconds. Drop the platform and switch off the recorder.

Now, go and stand on the ledge/hexahedron, and when your recording arrives, jump onto the platform it's holding.

Achievement unlocked!

Just a heads up for anyone who may be having issues: The achievement didn't pop for me until I actually finished the puzzle. So if it doesn't pop immediately, don't fret.

Story-related; cannot be missed.

After unlocking the recorder, there will be a few puzzles where you need to hold a little platform while recording, and then stand on top of this platform during playback. The first time you do so, you'll unlock this achievement.

After unlocking the Platform in Hub World C, complete a puzzle that requires it and you will receive the trophy after collecting the Tetromino.
