The hidden achievement: Sequence break

To get the hidden achievement, you need to complete the "heater core" zone before you do the "aquaduct" zone, before you get the "spin jump" upgrade.

This sounds easy at first, but is actually quite hard. First off, without the spin jump you have a hard time entering the "heater core" zone.

The trick: Rocket jumping

To get into the "heater core" zone, you need to rocket jump. Firing a rocket straight down will give you a boost. However, this isn't enough to enter the zone.

You need to boost off the flying enemy in there as well. Making it a pretty tricky jump.
Now, the best "start boost" for a rocket jump is:

Fire straight down while on the floor
Jump at the same time

Now, this starts of tricky already, as you need to press 3 buttons, down, jump and rocket at the same time.

Bonus tip: I suck at this button pressing. So I bound all 3 buttons to a single button of my steam controller. Allowing me to have a single button to do the jump.

The all important double rocket jump

Even if you manage to get into the "heater core" zone, you'll soon be stuck again. As the basic rocket jump described above will not get you everywhere. It allows you to jump up to 3 tiles high, but not higher.

So you need the double rocket jump. Now, you might think, fire down again in the air, gives you a 2nd boost. Well, too bad. Not enough boost to get high. It gets you if you need distance. But not a lot of height.

So you need a 2nd type of boost. The wall rocket boost. If you fire into the wall while jumping and pressing jump you boost up even higher, like this:

Bonus tip2: as I sucked at this as well, I bound "fire + jump" to a 2nd button on my controller as well. And this allowed me to relative consistently pull off the initial jump with the boost.

The closing

The floor+wall rocket jump should get you trough all jumps in the "heater core".

To wrap up. After finishing the achievement, I think you are stuck. I haven't managed to get out of the "heater core" zone, as the way back seems blocked by a pretty high jump near the elevator. But other people reported getting out, so do whatever you want.

Not sure if anyone cares, but you can absolutely do Ventilation after Core without Aqueduct. Three rocket boosts are enough to get pretty much anywhere, with maybe one enemy boost being needed.

Had no idea this was not the intended way until I got the double jump last. I was completely stuck and thought the game difficulty was just the way it was supposed to be. Took me an hour to master the rocket jump, but I definitely benefitted from it later on.

This guide is the only reason i got the achievement thanks

i think what Vuttyflame said is very important and needs to be put into the guide:
The best rocket jumps/the most height gained from rocket jumps come from keep holding the Jump button after jumping, shooting a rocket straight down to then bounce off the explosion.

On top of that, some sections of the map seem to be not possible to do without damaging boosting through them because the gap is too wide between platforms. If you're dead set on rocket jumping you might end up dying over and over trying to get through with a rocket jump when all you need is take one damage.

On top of that, some jumps are easier to do if you just use the recoil of the rockets instead of rocket jumps themselves.

There is also one part where it's better to rocket jump off of a flame enemy (that springs up from the lava) in-between the first and second heater (iirc)

I just beat the game for the first time..
I got the achievement when I completed the heater core for the first time.
I never got the spin jump upgrade? Now reading this, I realize now why the game was unnecessarily difficult at times.

I don't exactly remember how I got the achievement but I definitely made it all the way through the heater core without the spin and back because I couldn't find the first treadmill in the aquaducts. It probably isn't as hard as you make it sound but each to their own I guess

i haven't played in a bit, but i remember gaining extra height if you jump and then rocket jump before you hit the ground. take it with a grain of salt though.

LauKinMing It's really tough, basically you gotta do a first rocket jump in the edge of the platform in the right, position yourself as you're flying near the edge above and do a second rocket boost from that. It's really finnicky and it frustatred the hell out of me in my first playthrough because I didn't know I was sequence breaking lol

struck at the last jump to destroy final two heaters, any tips?

Cuttyflame 16 Jan, 2021 @ 3:38pm

really important to hold jump while doing it, took me a while to realise it
