Achievements thread

Ok, I can't seem to get this last achieve. I am about to make my way into the caves below the workshop for the third time now and really screw around the half a dozen waterfalls down there for the "Running with water" achieve.

Based on the name and icon, looks like I have to get a handful of water and "kick" it somewhere. Anyone got it and know for sure?

Use this thread to discuss any other achieves. I've got most of them, so I can offer some tips if anyone needs some.

[warlordship]

Nevermind, got it! It's one of the last waterfalls. The one that is outside a closed door, and the water then runs under you for about 4-5 screens. After the door is opened, you got to carry enough water and run to the left to have a seed open the next puzzle without you needing to do it for real.

[talzaroff]

Great idea to make a separate thread for this!
I've completed most of the achievements, but I'm really stuck on the last few now.

Running with water:
This one is in the beginning? I started a new game to get it, but is that really necessary? I think I know which waterfall you mean, but I'm not sure, so just checking. [DONE]

Perfect dry run:
I need help with this one, I don't have a clue what I need to do. I know that inside the mines there's a spot where you meet the first light Fluro where you can pick up a light. How do you get it back to the workshop? If you run out to the end, the light disappears when you're moving to the next area. Going back seems impossible too... Or am I thinking completely wrong here?

If my calculations are correct...
Again, I don't have a clue. I've finished all the extractor machine puzzles, but don't know which one they mean by "requires precise guiding of light & dark fluros". I think I can solve the puzzles in one go now, but which one is it?

And finally, I got all protoplasm blobs except for two, both in the mines. I know where one is, but he seems completely out of reach. High above, but I've spent 30 minutes to get up there before giving up and moving on. I don't need to know the exact way to get there, but a hint would be welcome. I have no idea where the last protoplasm blob is...

EDIT: I got the waterfall one now... That was fun :D

[warlordship]

I am going to go and take a bunch of screenshots to at least show where you go for most of the achieves you mentioned here. Will edit this in a few mins.

EDIT:

Running with water: No SS yet.
It is the waterfall on the other side of a door in the beginning caves (not the mines, but caves) that has the water run in a channel beneath the floor which lets you make a fluro to OPEN said door.

Perfect Dry Run: No SS yet.
It's the tiny thing you hold onto that has a lantern on it as you are going through caves (again, the caves, not the mines) to return back to your workshop. All the water streams are temporary, so you just need to stop and wait. Also, the fluros jumping in your path near the end can also screw up the achieve.

You can reset progress towards this one by resetting the puzzle, if the fluros you use fail to do what they need to.

These are likely the two you are missing. The first one was hiding, it was in that massive dark room after you got the goo canister that had a few dark fluros hiding in it. You are supposed to use the light to chase them into a hard-to-see alcove at the top center that leads to that switch you can barely see in the SS.

The second one I won't tell you how to do though. I asked about it in another thread and the dev was too proud of it to just give it away. :D

Instead, I'll give you the hint that he gave me: Remember, you can make a fluro out of ANY liquid.

Hey talza!

I will give you two hints on getting those last protoplasm globs.

The one that is out of your reach is actualy quite simple. You just have to remember that you can make fluros out of ANY liquid...

The other one is located in the area where you first see dark fluros, keep your eyes on the celing.

[warlordship]

Cruuuud. Ninjad on my edit by half an hour >.<

[talzaroff]

Hehe, thanks guys! I think I know how to get them now ;)
I was thinking of the mines for the perfect dry run, but if it's in the caves, I know what you mean and I'll give it a shot.
For 'If my calculations are correct' do you need to start a new playthrough if you already finished all the puzzles, or can you just do it again and get it right in one go?

[warlordship]

I did it on my first play-though, but I imagine you can just run up and solve it again. If I could reset puzzle and still get credit, I'll bet that you can redo it until you got the achieve.

[talzaroff]

Thanks for the tips... It was exactly enough to point me in the right direction without spoiling the puzzles. I finished all the achievements now, but...

I nearly messed up the last protoplasm. I had collected all the blobs in the game, except for the two mentioned above. And I used all my protoplasm to make upgrades. I'll leave the thinking up to you, but careful dosing got the trick done ;)

This is the last achievement I'm missing and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I tried resetting the puzzle and even played to this point from an earlier save (so the machine would be still off).

I only see one solution but doing it step by step doesn't unlock the achievement:

make light fluro bottom of ladder, wait, switch, wait, switch, drop dark seed right, wait, switch, wait, switch, drop light seed left, wait, switch, wait, switch, drop dark seed far right, wait, switch, wait, switch, drop light seed far left - doors open.
Anyone got any hints/ideas?

Try this:
Drop all the seeds before you water the first one.

Thank you talzaroff, that did the trick!

Anyone able to offer any hints on Internal Rejection or Handle with Care? I can't seem to make either work.

[sprsclr]

Since you mention that you can't seem to make either work, I assume you already know what to do but just can't get the achievement to register?

Internal Rejection has already been discussed in the "All Achievements (Spoilers inside)" thread so I suggest you take a look at g051051's posts

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2585069&page=2

As for Handle with Care, creating the fluoro itself will probably need a 3rd liquid so that red and blue won't mix.
Something like this --> http://steamcommunity.com/id/sprsclr/screenshot/577825802867653965

[Crittias]

Since you mention that you can't seem to make either work, I assume you already know what to do but just can't get the achievement to register?I can get an Internal Rejection Fluro to wander around, but I can't seem to get a mixture that registers for the achievement. For the Handle With Care, I've never even managed to get a Fluro to spawn. I'll have to try one with a tri-mixture.

[Crittias]

Nevermind. Got both of them. Thanks for the blue/red screenshot, it definitely helped!

[Zaimun]

I'm only missing 1 protoplasm in the mines.

I've taken the one which is hard to reach, the one in the "hidden" pathway in the ceiling, the one on the way down with the elevator and another at the before the boss .

Where's the last one :S?

[Zaimun]

Nevermind, found it >.>

I'm missing the last protoplasm in the mines to get all achievements... T_T Any hints as to where the last one is?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it! =D
