How to unlock the Can't Touch This achievement in Yaris - Definitive Guide

This achievement description is completely misleading.

You do have to complete all 8 tracks and you do have to finish a level with full shields however YOU DON'T NEED FULL SHIELDS IN LEVEL 8.

This achievement can be unlocked in MP as well. You just need to stay in the MP menu after each game and not back out to the main menu or SP menu. In order to do this a second person must invite you to the MP game for each track and to do that the second person must already have finished the game on SP previously (Thanks blomphil2 for this!).

TIP: If you are having issues beating ANY track just RIDE UP THE SIDE OF THE WALL. So just keep to one side (either all the way on the left or right side) and you will avoid 95% of the danger and you can finish the track pretty easy.

Simply, in one setting (you can't quit out to the main menu), finish all eight tracks. Once you have finished ALL eight tracks just go back to the first track. Play the first track and make sure you have full shields when you pass the finish line for the last time.

EDIT: Two people have confirmed that you are allowed to back out to the main menu, just as long as you don't exit the game completely (thanks LanEvoIX and VixyNyan!).

Achievement Unlocked!

So I'm assuming this can't be done in multiplayer?

Yes it can be done in MP, I will update the solution. You just need to try in the MP menu after each game.

Easiest way in MP menu is have someone else send you the game invites and you just accept them after each race and that way you never leave the menu.

The only way to do this in MP is to have someone who has already finished the game in single player invite you to each individual level without backing out. A second pesn cannot invite you unless the have already beaten the level.

Beating track 8 with full shields isn't as hard as it sounds, for the record. During the level, try to save the shields lying around (I think there's only two fire hydrants, but try to bust 'em open). Anyway, just shoot the boss until it has three plumes of smoke coming from it, hold off until you pick up some shields (alternately, you could just wait until they regenerate on their own), and then finish the boss off.

I did it in single player mode. I can't remember if I died or not but I just stayed up on the left hand side.

Having trouble with the 6th track. I keep dying. I tried staying on the sides but no luck. Any suggestions?

Have you tried both sides? Some of the sides are safer then others. If you run low on health (1/4th health or less) then try to get down real fast to get some when you see it.

If you are still having issues then do this in MP over LIVE, you can never die.

So if I use the MP method, do BOTH people get the 'Chieve or just the one being invited?

Only one being invited... because the one setting up the game and inviting the other person, they are going back to the main menu...

Going back to the main menu (leaving the MP menu) will reset the progress....

I was playing and quitting all the time, played all tracks from 4 to 8, dying and going back to menu all the time, then started fresh from track 1 to get this achievement, and it popped on track 5. I did have full shields, so i guess you have to have full shield after beating all 8 tracks without exiting the game. Not sure how this can be, but just sharing what just happened to me.

I went backwards, starting from track 1, then I went from track 8 until track 2, and I did go back to the main menu each time. The achievement unlocked on track 2. :3

Nice, so it sounds like you can go back to the main menu and still get the achievement.

Approximately how long does this take? it's been years since I've played, but I'm trying to 100% old games now. Thanks.

Around 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes to go through all 8 levels.

I can confirm backing out and still getting the achievement. I literally played the map backwards, and had full shields at the end of level one and unlocked the achievement. Yeah as long as you don't go back to your dashboard, just play all 8 missions in any order and make sure to have full shields at the end of any track which you choose to be your last, and you'll get it. The order I played in was 1-2-5-6-7-8-4-3- and then 1 again to get full shields credit.

I can confirm doing a mix of SP & MP. Played levels 1-7 on my own to access level 8 and practice getting stuck in the first spiral consistently (see guide for Leader of the Pack). On the night I unlocked Can't Touch This, I played a MP session to do the 1 million coins "get stuck" glitch on level 8, then played 2-7 solo in order, and lastly level 1 since it's the easiest to end with full shields.
Ideally, it's better to play all the levels on MP with someone else that's just starting this game, so it's easier for everyone overall. But this is fucking Yaris, so that's a lot to ask of someone who only needs one last achievement for the game, haha.

I couldn't find this information anywhere online so I am posting the track names for anyone else that is doing the whole game through ranked matches.

Track 1: Northbound on 101
Track 2: Lost on the Offramp
Track 3: Cubit Interchange
Track 4: Four Corners (first boss)
Track 5: Slip of the Knot
Track 6: Suborbital Boulevard
Track 7: It's Full of Stars
Track 8: Yaris One (second boss)

Cubit Interchange seemed to be the most common map and Yaris One the least common.

I just got this achievement yesterday playing multiplayer. One quick piece of advise.
1) Have 1 player set up a ranked random track.
2) Player 2 should search for the rank and join.
3) There are 8 tracks. Write down the name of the track you are playing. Since you are playing MP intead of SP, you WILL NOT DIE!
4) After you finish the track, repeat steps 1 -3. If the same track appears again (which will happen many, many times), exit the game and search again for a track.

*It's important that if you exit, exit out of MP, but not the entire game.

This took at most an hour to get and I didn't have to play single player (which is much tougher)

Contrary to what the description says, you do NOT need to finish level 8 with full shields. Simply play through all 8 levels and then play level 1. You can get hit during the level, but make sure to get a shield recharge before the end of the third lap.
