How to unlock the Icarus achievement

    Easiest way and can be done from the start. All you'll need is around 300 blocks of your choice (dirt, stone, wood etc). Have your material selected, hold down RT and hold down on your right thumbstick, tap 'A' repeatedly. If you have followed these steps correctly when you jump you will be building directly underneath yourself so when you land you will be higher. I used approximately 280 stone blocks, but did start from on top of my house.

    This method took me around 3mins, it requires no precision or crafting.

    The achievement will pop when you hit the top of the screen. Congratulations on your new 10G!

    Touching the top of the world requires you to build up to the top horizontal edge of the world (the opposite of Rock Bottom achievement). For beginning players, you will need to build up using blocks or platforms. The best way to do this is to create a Hellevator close to your home base and build an upper part reaching into the sky. You can use the materials you remove making the Hellevator to build the upper portion if you are early on the game.

    MAKING A HELLEVATOR/SKYVATOR
    1. A fast pickaxe is recommended since this will require a lot of digging.
    2. Make a hole leading straight down, at least two blocks wide (I recommend five because you can add walls later and line it with material to keep enemies out).
    3. Place platforms across at intervals to prevent falling damage, or bring some buckets of water and drop them at the bottom to make a little safe landing area.
    4. Add some light sources.
    5. You can make branches out to the sides (and add doors if you want) to access underground areas for mining ore or exploring.
    6. A Hellevator prevents you from being hit by making a wall on either side of you. This allows you to go up and down without being hassled by enemies.

    This is also useful for going for

    There is a WAY easier and FASTER solution as to the other mentioned. It only takes a few seconds and requires no work. Although this one you'll probably get later as it will take some luck. This won't require the wings either. Just simply wait until you loot a Gravitation Potion from a chest, now use a mirror to get back to the surface (if you have one). Once there, drink the Gravitation Potion and hold up on the joystick, your character will go straight up until you hit the ceiling of the world. Achievement unlocked in a matter of seconds. No wasting time building platforms getting there :). Happy hunting.

    MunkeyChunxLol- that was easy peasy- and such a "duh, I should have thought of that myself" moment. Good solution. Just either have a magic mirror, or be careful on the way back down. MunkeyChunx didn't bounce.
