How to unlock the Look Ma, No Hands! achievement in The Wild at Heart - Definitive Guide

Much later in the game you will unlock 'Barblings' which are the purple coloured Spritelings.
Your goal for this achievement is to break any of the white crystals which are scattered around most of the areas, WITHOUT ever damaging it by throwing a Barbling at it.

What I did was just withdraw a bunch of Barblings from the spawning pool. Then headed off to find a crystal. (There are actually some perfectly placed right below where you first discover the Barblings).

Using the strong vacuum cn_LT & cn_RT of either character your aim is to suck the Barblings towards you and in turn hit the crystal. If done correctly you will see the 'health' bar of the crystal appear and take some damage. Do this a few times and the crystal will get destroyed.


Achievement pops shortly after the crystal is vanquished.

Video probably shows it better but I like a good text guide. laugh

@R3f1CuL Developers said nothing is missable, so there must be some respawning crystals somewhere... maybe the ones right at the start of the game...

Respawning crystals at the southernmost exit of Crestfallen Coast in The Undergrowth.

The crystals dont respawn as far as I know.. so it may be missable if you like to destroy everything

What I did was just load up with barblings stood next to a crystal and hit the vacuum and spun around in a circle.. same method as our author, I just did it a little differently. I got it my first try.. they lock on and it doesn't count as a throw

The smaller crystals re-spawn, but the large ones that block things/paths off don't. If you don't get this one before all the large ones are broken down, you can find any if the small ones near by and get those. ✌🏻😺🖖🏻

Withdraw a full set of barblings then stand next to a crystal (smaller the better) and “separate” using the LB menu. Vac them up, then rinse repeat as needed. A small crystal will likely explode almost immediately.

PS. This guide should definitely be updated with the respawning crystals location. Super useful!

There are respawning crystals in the undergrowth! It took me FOREVER to realize this achievement doesn't pop with just any crystal 😂

I'm wanting to say this might be missable. I don't think crystals respawn and I'm in a rough spot right now trying to find something I've missed to get this O.o

Great comments.
Great questions.
Great guide.
And you knew that a video should only complement a guide and not be the guide. I wish all guide writers had our mentality.
Definite thumbs up!

Here’s how I did it:

I gathered five Barblings and moved over right next to two crystals with the Barblings next to me. I then pressed the left bumper to bring up their command menu, and selected “Separate.” This pushed them to the side, away from me, and damaged both crystals. A couple of repeats broke through and the achievement unlocked.

Please let me know if this works for you or not. If you’re going to downvote, please leave a comment so I can alter or delete the solution if it doesn’t work.

Missable trophy. Crystals are not restored, although there are quite a lot of them.
You should not throw purple creatures onto the crystals, but suck them into the vacuum cleaner, standing with your back to the crystal. Flying out of the vacuum cleaner onto the crystal, the purple ones will gradually break it.

wrong. The trophy is not missable. Some small crystals will spawn all over the map after being destroyed. for example, I knocked out a trophy in the temple in crystalfall coast. there are 2 crystals inside.
