How to unlock the Game Win 2x achievement

    If you are going for all the achievements in the game, I recommend having one game where you have the Death Sonar skill, and one where you don't. The Death Sonar is a useful skill obtained early on in the game, and there are achievements related to acquiring and using it, listed below:

    Ecco the DolphinDeath SonarThe Death Sonar achievement in Ecco the Dolphin worth 12 pointsAcquire the Death Sonar.


    Ecco the DolphinSonar UserThe Sonar User achievement in Ecco the Dolphin worth 14 pointsKill 30 enemies with the Death Sonar.


    But there is also one achievement for getting to a certain level without having the Death Sonar and, as this level is very far into the game, I recommend continuing with that game save to the games end. This will probably be slightly more difficult a playthrough but it is certainly manageable. For reference, this achievement is:

    Ecco the DolphinSonar FreeThe Sonar Free achievement in Ecco the Dolphin worth 70 pointsReach the Dark Water Level without the Death Sonar.


    Of course, if you aren't interested in those achievements, I recommend getting the Death Sonar for both playthroughs. It's really up to you.

    Now it is just a matter of completing the game twice, this must be two entirely separate playthroughs starting from Home Bay and working your way to the end and final boss. The game allows you to save wherever you like so save often and in good locations such as when you pass difficult sections or when you have a good amount of health or air. If you die, you'll be sent back to the start of the level, so if you have a mid-level save you may aswell quit and reload the save.

    Also, remember to save once you reach the final boss, as dieing here will send you back to Welcome to the Machine, the previous level.

    If you're having trouble passing the levels I recommend these resources:

    Brooklyn GinDo you have to keep one of the three slots left over for the first playthrough, or does the game 'know; if you have completed it twice?

    LanDiNo idea I'm afraid, but if you have the slots doing nothing else, you might want to use 2 separate slots just to be on the safe side.

    Brooklyn GinThanks. Might leave one for the first one. This game frustrates the hell out of me. I'm raging while playing. Had it on my game gear as a kid, loved it and had great memories. Come back as an adult with greater game skills and I'm struggling lol. I'm sure its been made harder.

    LanDiHaha yeah I kind of thought the same thing, I struggled with it as a kid when I had it on Mega Drive, and re-visiting it I hoped the reason I was struggling was my age. Nope! This game is still pretty tough, I made heavy use of the save feature to get through it to the end!

    Brooklyn GinI pretty much do one bit and if I have full health and breath I save. Yeap, a lot of exit, start screen and save loading going on!

    PunderstatementHey just a heads up you do need to keep a save from both games, just finished it for the second time and this is the only achievement that didn't pop. Hate this game so much. Anyway might mention keeping the save file.

    Orran DuraiI assume it is OK to die as much as I want in the second playthrough as long as I got the achievement for not dying more than 3 times in my first playthrough?

    EDIT: Never mind. Played through the game a second time without dying once. Hail to the save feature, especially in the last two levels!
