How to unlock the Zipline achievement

    Done in the Castle level

    First, you'll have to make your way on top of the building behind the brick wall to the left of the first courtyard. There is no easy way to get up there, i.e. places that you can jump on normally, so you'll have to jump as high as you can onto the flattest wall available and swing yourself up, arm by arm. Once on top notice the tower in front of you, on the left side wall of the tower you will see some small platforms to which you can jump on but be careful as you're sure to fall off frequently. The platforms spiral up until you reach the very top of the tower. Once at the top there is a hole in the roof, jump inside. There you will find a crook (pole shaped like a candy cane). Take the crook and hook it onto the roof you just fell through. Now walk carefully out of the Broken barred window and go to the left and jump back onto the platforms near the top. Once at the top again grab the crook and pull it up. After you pull it up, position it so the hook goes to the left and grab as close to the bottom as you can. Now lift the crook up and walk towards the edge and the zip line. Get as close to the edge as possible and grab the zip line with the hook. Once you're sure the hook is safely around the wire, go ahead and jump off! Now, you don't have to make it to the end of the zip line. I got caught on the house and was still very quickly rewarded with the achievement!

    AC4aceWell that guide worked like a charm. I got lucky in that I made that first jump from the wall to the roof without having to swing myself up. Was quite disappointed that I didn't get the little 'Ding' notification upon completion, although it did show up as completed.

    It's so sad when you complete a tricky Achievement and don't get the little 'Ding', isn't it?

    ALoneWolf42I am pleased to report that I also got stuck on the house, bounced to the ground near the river (still holding the crook stick), and the achievement popped. So as long as you start the zipline properly and get that far it seems to count.

    Edit. You can easily get onto the church roof from the first catapult after the start, drag it as far you can towards the cliff, a little bit towards the church. Load the spring and catapult yourself with just one hand on the basket and getting on ground, then release. From there it is a climb you can sometimes avoid if doing it from the second catapult as below...

    After you got
    Human Fall FlatFor whom the bell tollsThe For whom the bell tolls achievement in Human Fall Flat worth 66 pointsRing the castle bell in "Castle"
    just drag the catapult in the tower into the corner and aim it at the church tower.
    To reach it, don't get into the catapult - just hold the edge of the 'basket' with your left hand and reach for the release lever. This throws you a bit longer.

    Be ready to grab at the tower when you land, I hit the top at the first try - but since you need to get the hook to the top platform I had to climb anyway - so I fell and had to catapult me there again - this time I fell down on the church roof and did the climb during which time I could have done a third try at the catapult to avoid climbing the tower at all.

    Oh, and the bell toll climb to the catapult is not hard if you put the carriage between the bridge and the first house.

    ChucklestyleIt took me an hour to get on the church stacking bricks. The game thanked me by never letting me face the hook in the right direction and then when I fell it left the hook at the bottom of the water. F this game.

    Edit: found a vid showing a much easier way to get on the church rooftop to start the tower climb. Got the cheevo and uninstalled immediately after.

    The video guide by UtG Mist is great, however I could never climb the church wall using the swing method. There is, thankfully, an easier way to get on to the church roof. Climbing the tower is still a pain, but at least getting to that part should be less painful this way.

    zDrUnKeNMoNkEyzThanks for this..can't do the "cheese" method so this was def. easier way for me. And the other video helped me the rest of the way!

    ShinnizleIf anyone is wondering exactly what AspiringDoctor was referring to (like I was), here's a video of it on YouTube (not mine, I don't take any credit for it):

    It really helped me finally get this extremely annoying achievement last night.

    Gilbert PrimeIf there is a "proper" (I doubt there is one) way to get on the roof, it's probably the one in this video because it doesn't require any contortions and if you fall, it's easy to try again without respawning.

    For myself, once I got the catapult locked into position by hanging its two front wheels over the cliff, it was the most efficient way for me to get back on the roof if I messed up.
