I've discovered a solution to make this easier. Go to options on the pause menu and change the controller settings:

- camera sensitivity: set it to 1 (default is 10)
- grip mode: set it to toggle

With these settings it was a lot easier as it was harder to mess up with the right stick and I did not have to hold the right trigger to control the ball.

Additionally, I have also added at the end of this solution a link to a video from achievement hunter that should help as well. Just remember that, for the third puzzle, you do not need to rush at the disappearing section as he did in the video. If the ball is in the middle while you are moving it, you can just wait until the line reappears, and the ball will not fall.

Part of the Jedi Temple DLC.

Once you bend the bridge back into place and break the large statue in your way, jump across by doing a delayed double jump and air dash. Enter the doorway and you'll get a cut scene.

After that, you'll get a puzzle. To complete this puzzle, you need to force grab the orb and move it to the other hand following the line. The RS is really the only stick you'll need while controlling the orb. You'll repeat this 2 more times with it getting more and more complicated.

If you ever end up causing the orb to leave the line, it will change colors. This is what you have to avoid. Even if it only barely flashes the color, you'll be ruled out of the achievement. In fact, that flash can happen so fast you may not realize that it happened so you may need to do it several times.

There is a save right before this puzzle, so if you see it change colors, pause and exit the game then select continue to restart the puzzle.The unfortunate part of this achievement is that it won't unlock until after the next save after the puzzle. This means if you have any reason to think it may have changed colors and you didn't notice, pause and exit. If you don't and you hit the save, you'll have to restart the whole level.

Part of the Jedi Temple DLC:

Midway through the level after you have a vision of your father you will have this 3 part puzzle.

You have to force grip the orb across a line without it turning red.

The first one is a straight line really easy.

The Second you have to make a few turns and the orb will bend the line around it. So you have to look further then the orb to make sure that you are on the right path.

The third will have a few turns and a section that disappears. You will also get the distortion around the ball that you are moving. The trick here is to look ahead and take your time. The disappearing section is really there so you don't have to rush when you come to that part. Just wait until it is visible again and move.

The key to all the puzzles is to take your time. Use only one stick if you need to and go slowly. If at any part the line and ball turn red (you really can't miss it) then just exit out and continue. You will start at the puzzle.

It took me a few but after i found out that the section that disappears is really there it made life easier.

This achievement was seriously frustrating.

I don't have a perfect solution so I'll just share my opinion on what worked for me.

First, do what Vinicius Menti said above. Change the camera and grip modes. That definitely helped me out a lot.

After a bunch of tries I noticed that if you keep the ball aligned a certain way, the lines don't seem to go "red" on you. I know that sounds obvious, but here's what I tried to do...and I hope I can explain this clearly and correctly.

What I did was try to have the line always look as if it were coming directly out of the center or equator of the ball. So, if the line (or track) was a sharp object, it would always slice the ball right in half. Again, obvious - but I just made sure I really focused on that and nothing else. I didn't worry about how the thing looked or the distortion around the ball and all that. I just kept my eyes squarely on the front edge of the ball and how it related to the line.

I have no idea if this makes sense or will work for you personally but once I started just focusing on that small area, going fairly slow, I got it in just a couple of tries.

All told, however, it took me probably over 20 attempts.
Every time I messed up, I changed costumes instead of quitting out. Other than that, I can only hope this helps. Good luck.

everyone think its hard achievement, but its not! its quite easy! why? beacuse its glitched!
when you come to third puzlle, where those things are going to be invisible, just slowly go down like before, and when its go invisible, sTOP, when it show back, slowly go, dont rush! dont mind that it will be invisible again. when it hide again just STOP! wait 1-2 seconds and when color come back go slowly to the end, and achievement will pop-up!
i know it sound crazy but i did like i wrote. i didnt rush, i just stop when this thing has hide and YES i have this achievement. i tried like everyone to rush and tryied this about 30 times, and in 31 for so no reason i discover this way.

PS. sorry for my english.
