    So the description of this achievement is kinda confusing, so allow me to elaborate: within a single stage, you need to eat both fruit that spawn as well as eat all four ghosts with each of the four power pellets.

    It is important to note that the ghosts' movements are 100% determined by Pac-Man's position and direction. This means that if you do the exact same movements (note: movements not button inputs), you will get the same result every time.

    Obviously this is easiest on the first stage. There are many youtube videos of a "perfect cherry" completion for stage 1 (i.e. max score possible), and mimicking exactly what they do will net you the achievement.

    I link below my completion, which is based off of a popular route on YouTube for the original arcade game (I did not come up with this pattern myself, but I wanted to verify that it works in this version of the game). It may take some practice, but if you learn the pattern and execute it correctly, you will get the achievement and a perfect score too toast

    Bieber SheenisIf you're having trouble perfecting the pattern, remember that you don't actually have to have a perfect round, you just need 2 fruits and 16 ghosts eaten in the same round. What I did was open my round as they do for the first ghost and first fruit, and then go for the 2 fruit immediately. Then I could die 5 times if needed to replicate the movements for each corner. Leave dots in random corners so you don't accidentally end the level.

    mimboxIt is very frustrating achievements like this, that require time and patience, may be buggy (just like in the other "Arcade game series" Dig Dug, where the mushroom wont unlock for me). Done in the cherry and in the first strawberry level, but never unlocked🙁

    Lost Legendsdone this twice now with no unlock, anyone else have issues with this achievement?

    edit- same with the melon & key achievements. I guess this game is just very buggy

    You can abuse the save system to make this achievement very easy (if a bit time consuming). Sorry if this is a little long, I'm trying to make the instructions as clear as possible.

    This is definitely easiest on level 1. I would save your checkpoint after each time you eat 4 ghosts. It's far too easy to have one of them turn the wrong way and turn back to normal before you can reach it. I would try to clear out a fair amount of the normal dots (and grab any fruits of course) while you are waiting for all the ghosts to come out of the center area. Once a path is cleared of normal dots you will be able to move faster than the ghosts on it, which helps a lot when you are trying to get them all grouped together. I don't have a great suggestion as to luring them all to one area so they are nice and close, but usually if you try a few different paths, you can find one where 3 will be right on top of each other and you just have to chase down the 4th guy.


    Play the game until you feel like you've made a good amount of progress towards the achievement. Then save and quit and follow the directions below to get a reusable checkpoint. Then keep playing from your checkpoint and try to get a little further and make a new checkpoint. If you mess up, or aren't doing as well as you would like, restore your previous checkpoint and try again. N.B. Your achievement will not actually pop until you go back online.

    Personally I cleared each level completely, then saved my progress. It's a personal choice of how much risk vs hassle you want to put up with. You can save your progress after every level.

    NB: Going offline is optional, it provides a little bit of extra insurance against a fast sync as well as against operator error. You can just delete your local copy of the save whenever you want to restore your checkpoint. There is a very small chance it will synchronize your save while you are playing. Also if you are online you will have the ability to delete your save from the cloud as well (which you definitely do not want to do).

    To “back up” a new checkpoint.
    1) Go online if you are offline.
    2) Save and quit.
    3) Quit the game (hit xbox button, then menu/hamburger button and select quit)
    4) Wait a while for it to synch up to the cloud (I would give it 10 to 15 minutes).
    5) Load the game.
    6) Go offline (OPTIONAL- If you are sharing your content via swapping home xboxes, you should still be able to play for a certain amount of time even offline, as long as you launch it first. Since the levels in the arcade collection are all pretty short, you should either be at the point where you are ready to go online again in just a few minutes.)
    7) Continue to play

    To restore your checkpoint
    1) Xbox button then menu/hamburger and select manage game.
    2) Go to the saved data for your gamertag and hit A, then select “DELETE FROM CONSOLE”. DO NOT SELECT “DELETE EVERYWHERE”.
    3) Go online again (OPTIONAL).
    4) Load the game and after the launch screens it will sync your save from the cloud.
    5) Once it does this, go offline again, and give it another shot.

    To go offline
    1) Settings
    2) All Settings
    3) Network
    4) Network settings
    5) Go offline

    To go online
    1) Open sidebar
    2) Go to settings section
    3) Select connect to xbox live
    4) Go online

    IntoTheDark7Yes - 2 fruits in total across the whole round. All 4 ghosts x 4.

    Zaro KarosI'm not able to restore my checkpoint, it only restarts the game when I follow the steps, got all 4 ghosts x 3 without this method but the last group of 4 seems impossible.

    PalesiusAre you quitting the game and waiting at least fifteen minutes for it to upload to the cloud?
    When you relaunch the game after deleting the save (when you are trying to restore) are you seeing the syncing save game box pop up

    I created a guide that breaks down the basics of this achievement, and shows the path on screen not just Pac-mans current position.


    Essentially all you really need to do is load up Level 1 and follow the path, if you can match the movements (not button presses) and timing you should be fine. By following this you should get all the Om Nom Nom Series Achievements:

    All Ghosts - For the All Ghosts achievement you only need eat the first four ghosts, and you'll likely get this naturally during play anyway.

    Om Nom Nom x2 - Eat all ghosts twice in the level

    Om Nom Nom x3 - Eat all ghosts three times in the level

    Om Nom Nom x4 - Eat all ghosts four times in the level

    Om Nom Nom - Eat all ghosts four times in the level and eat both fruit that spawn

    It will take a little practice and a lot of patience to match the timing!

    MadBunnyEliteThe Path gets slightly more complicated after the second pill. I recommend only learning the path to get 2 pills and improvising the rest. With 5 lives enabled plus a bonus life at 10,000, it should be easy to find an opportunity for the other 2 pills. Choose dying over accidently eating a pill when the ghosts are spread out. Hope this helps :)

    HamsterLVI spent more than an hour trying to recreate what is shown in the video, but I could not get even the first four as he does in the video. The ghosts never moved EXACTLY like in the video, I guess I was off by a frame or two. Maybe it is me, maybe it is my controller, maybe something has changed, but I could not get this to work. Had to find my own way. It was terrible, I suggest avoiding this terrible game!

    Demon Fox 00117Yeah it is a pain, timing needs to be spot on. There is a workaround if you are still struggling, but requires messing with your cloud save https://youtu.be/G3L2eiziU84
