Dig-Dug "dig" achievement is #%#@#$! BS

[MegaManFan]

I've "dug" the entire opening level five times now and never gotten the achievement. I've done it killing all the enemies, not killing all the enemies, getting the rock bonus, not getting the rock bonus, I don't freaking get the problem. Either this achievement is glitched or the Xbox F'N CHEATS!!!!!

[moycon]

I got it.

I got it.

 

Bro WTF did you do to make it work? This is pissing me off because it's the only Dig-Dug achievement I haven't unlocked... well if it weren't for this game robbing me blind I would have. I've even watched YouTube videos of people doing it and I'm not doing a damn thing different but I never get awarded the achievement.

Actually I think the trick is, is you have to die to get the achievement.

 

Like so....

 

 

The important thing is to kill yourself afterwards.

Dumb I know.

 

Also...Another achievements resource if you're interested...

I'm still trying to get this one. I give it a try about once a week. No luck so far.

Did you try moving on to the next screen and then dying first thing? I think the issue is you're leaving those two Pooka on the screen. You have to clear everything, and then move on. The dying isn't what gives you the achievment, it's just that you don't get the achievments until after the game is over (Like in Geometry Wars) try clearing everything and moving on.

You not only have to dig through all the land, you have to walk through the openings where the enemies are at the start of a round for it to register as all cleared and recieve the achievement after finishing the game.

As I said before, I've tried it every different way from sideways, including not leaving enemies, leaving enemies, not dying, dying, taking the fruit, not taking the fruit, et cetera. The only suggestion I have yet to try is Atariboy's since I generally skipped "digging through" the spots where the enemies were to save time before the Pookas and Fygars speed up. I'll try that next.

Hmmmm Seems odd but it's obviously an issue or people wouldn't have so many posts about it. If moving on to the next screen after clearing doesn't do it, I'm out of idea's. I do recall at the time I did it, I didn't seem to have an issue at all, unfortunately it's been so long ago, I couldn't tell you 100% sure how I went about doing it.

I hope you can snag it. Hopefully digging where the enemies were will do it.

Drove me crazy too. Man, I've learned to loathe that game.

Perhaps you also need to walk all along the surface for it to register? Since you CAN walk up there, the game might simply be looking to see that you move through every spot on the level.
