How to unlock the Perfect achievement

    The vids posted before don't really tell you the whole story.

    First off, change the number of lives to 5. That works for all the achvs by the way.

    What you want to do is clear away the pellets as they slow you down (not handy when you are chasing down these spectral pricks).

    Then it's a case of attracting their attention (stay away from the red one though as he's the most aggressive) until all four are near you. Then grab a power pill and get all four of them.

    Repeat that three times and the achv will unlock when the game is over.

    Handy tip: don't leave anything breakable within throwing range of your controller.

    EriCO OwNz NuBzMake sure to leave a few pellets out there so you don't clear the round by accidently by grabbing the last power pill and pellets. I did that when attempting to eat the last 4 ghosts. With some practice and using the extra lives it's not hard to do it once or twice but the third and fourth ghost sets can come down to a bit of luck. Try not to get corned and try to group all the ghosts close together. As you get down to your last lives you can get a bit more risky and aggressive. Be patient and you should be able to get this.

    This is my video for the hardest achievement in Pacman. Many have failed completion due to this, And if you are reading this I guess you are stuck too.

    Make sure you set the live to 5, accessed in the OPTIONS menu. The video explains all this but just so you are aware. The first two are the easiest to do as you can use a set path to get the Ghosts together the majority of the time. The last 2 require a little more luck, but using the same sort of path I take hopefully you will have this done not long after.

    Enjoy the video and hopefully it helps and keeps you entertained.

    This one is the hardest achievement of them all. The best way to do it is to wait until all four ghosts are chasing you, then when they are as close as you dare let them get, eat the power pellet and quickly turn and eat them all. You'll need to do this four times within the same stage and before you finish eating all the dots.

    Watch the video below for a demonstration.

    More of a warning than a solution, If you are coming back to this game with 170/200 GS after a long break and just "perfect" left to get you may have forgotten that the achievement doesn't pop until you get to the game over screen. I done all the requirements for this, got angry when it didn't unlock and quit to dashboard, only after around my 200th try when I let the game over screen run i remembered that you unlock the achievement at the end. Just sit still/ run into the ghosts to waste lives to reach the game over screen. Hope I help at least 1 person with this and saving a broken controller.

    I have just uploaded a video with some tips on youtube:


    The tips I go through are:

    Set you lives to 5 obviously.

    Set you score limit to 10,000 so that you get a life every 10k points you get.

    Keep going in and out of the screen changer (not sure if this is the right word see vid for more description) until the ghosts have all spawned.

    Get the top right pellet first because it is the hardest to eat all four ghosts with then the top left one and then either of the bottom ones.

    It's better to lose a life then go for it when you are unsure.

    Keep persevering with it and you'll get it.

    This is incredibly frustrating, but it just takes a little finesse.

    1. Start with 5 lives
    2. Use Level 1, it's slower, but ghosts will be blue longer.
    3. If you see all the ghosts bunched up and near a power pellet, eat the power pellet.
    4. If you are not in a good place for all 4 ghosts and trapped, let them get you.
    5. This takes some patience, but keep moving, the ghosts eventually will regroup and come together.
    It's a lot easier when you are not trying to get all the ghosts for an achievement. =)

    Well, first of all.. you need to get the ghosts to chase you, then eat the power pellet..

    In order for the ghosts to chase you ..you need to go back and forth beneath their spawn point or around it. I thought it was a fluke at first, but about 3 out 5 times they will chase you when you go there.. I also recommend the first level to get this achievement and avoid all small pellets as much as possible.The reason is because you could finish the level by accident angry. THEY DID NOT SLOW ME DOWN. ITS THE TURNS THAT SLOW YOU DOWN.
