How to unlock the Gnat's Nostril achievement in Worms 2: Armageddon - Definitive Guide

This solution is not perfect, but I find that this mission is mostly luck anyways. This is just another option to try in case you can't get the other posted solutions to work for you.

1st: Walk all the way to the right and fall down to the bottom area.
2nd: Walk all the way to the left, turn to the right, and look straight up.
3rd: Shoot the shotgun both times. Right after the second shot, jump away so the enemy hits the ground with full force and doesn't land on you.
4th: Place a red (attract) magnet on TOP of the enemy worms head.
5th: Teleport to the top right cloud.
6th: Turn the magnet to blue (push), right next to the mine as soon as it starts beeping.
7th: Jump down to the 2nd cloud (using a parachute is optional).
8th: Walk over to the mine and select Baseball Bat, aim all the way up and hit the mine.
(*This might kill the enemy, but most likely won't. Since it most likely won't, continue reading.)
9th: Parachute to the bottom/final cloud and use the Fire Punch.
10th: This should kill the enemy. In case it doesn't, start over from the beginning. It doesn't take long and you will have different results.

(As a note, there are many great suggestions about minor tweaks in the comment section below if for any reason you cannot get this exact method to work.)

I agree this method is better then the one on the video. I got it on the third try using this method, opposed to failing for 45 minutes trying to use the other one!

I found another way to do this: Drop from the start and aim directly upward to the worm. Shoot twice and he'll fall. Then, get as left of the fallen worm as you can and hit him with the bat diagonally-right, as if you're aiming for him to go into the water. The worm will end up (If hit correctly) near the edge close to the nearest mine. Then, walk up to him, hit him with the Fire Punch, and bam...easy method. This should only take a handful of attempts

One thing I would add to this (GREAT!) solution - if you've not killed the bad guy after the second mine with the baseball bat, and there's a difficult-looking crater, then, instead of dragon punching the last mine, parachute directly over to the worm and dragon punch him directly. This is what I had to do and it worked like a charm. Great solution though, just thought I'd add my $0.02 worth cos this one is hugely dependent on luck...

I had the worm get trapped too high on the side of the hill three times on the second mine, with no real way to finish him off. I decided to use the fire punch directly on the worm before teleporting. Then the two first mines were enough to kill the enemy.

Far and away the best solution. Got it first try after an hour of trying other methods. Thanks for posting it!

I tried most methods but only had success with Greedy136's method. I'm so glad this is done. Now for that battle pack.

Tried for probably an hour or more using a video demonstrating a different method and gave up on that to look for a new one. Found this and got it first try. +1

Greedy136's solution worked like a charm. I didn't even have to use the Dragon Punch. I could smash the worm into the water with the baseball bat directly :).

1. Fall down to the right.

2. Shoot with the bazooka two times but be a but more to the left so the worm fall on the cliff and not all the way down

3. Put red magnet on the tip of the cliff to the right

4. Activate the mine so it blows some of the cliff away.

5. Use ninja rope to get to the left of were the enemy worm is without falling down
(You could also try the teleport device).

6. Use baseball bat to knock the worm to the top of the now broken cliff to the right.

7. Go to were he is and finish him of with that finger of death punch or whatever.

We recommend Bruk360's solution with an additional step:

Go to the right and fall down to the bottom area. Free the enemy with your shotgun as described. Now climb up the hill on the right. Use the red magnet. The mine will fly towards you, wait a moment to activate the mine, then jump to the left. The explosion should destroy most parts of the hill. Now do as described above. Stand left next to the enemy and use the baseball bat. The enemy worm will land on the former hill (what is left of it). Use the fire punch to knock the enemy into the water.

This one is the hardest of the puzzles because you have to get the shotgun shots exactly right. Place the first magnet so it fits perfectly into the hole in the cloud. The second you can't really screw up. Check the video if you're having trouble. Then for the shot - aim a little to the left of the worm. Since you're shooting from diagonally under him, the shell will erase most of what's under him. Then place the second shot just barely right of the first one. The rest pretty much comes down to luck in terms of fall damage and the way the mine tosses.

If you need help with any of the othere puzzles, there are solutions to all of them from the same account.

All credit goes to bertsIsHere.

Thx for the guide! Just thought I'd add that I used a magazine to line up the shot (which helped a little) then shot same place twice.

Keep going to the right and drop down to the lower area.
Walk all the way up to the wall on the left, turn right and aim straight up, and fire both shotgun shots.
Be sure to turn all the way to the left again when u shoot else he might land on you when he falls down.

Now climb on top of the right mountain/ left of the first cloud, and put a red magnet on it and wait for the mine to be activated.
Once activeted jump to the left again.
The mine will destroy the biggest part of the mountain.

Now you can go stand left of the enemy worm and use your baseball bat to swing him into the water! just aim to the cloud so it can bounce of the lower corner of the cloud into the water .

If you have any comments or questions, leave a comment below. and please dont downvote, tell me what wrong below so i can edit it :) thanks :)

Not sure if something got updated between 2012 and 2021, but this doesn't work anymore.
There is no space to the left of the enemy worm, simple as that.

There are many ways of approaching this puzzle, but this method has has been proven to work.

  1. Walk to the right and fall down to the bottom area.
  2. Walk all the way to the left, turn to the right, and look straight up.
  3. Shoot the shotgun twice. Immediately following the second shot, jump away so the enemy hits the ground with full force and doesn't land on you.
  4. Place a red magnet on top of the enemy worm's head.
  5. Teleport to the top right cloud.
  6. Turn the magnet to blue, right next to the mine as soon as it starts beeping.
  7. Jump down to the second cloud (using a parachute is optional).
  8. Walk over to the mine and select Baseball Bat, aim all the way up and hit the mine. This might not work, so follow the subsequent steps.
  9. Parachute to the bottom/final cloud and use the Fire Punch.
  10. If this doesn't work, restart. The puzzle may not play out in this way every time.
