There are 10 secret pink portals hidden within the main game levels. They are tied to the Scavenger Hunt mode that is unlocked after beating the game and unlocking all 84 Rush stars, but this is not required to find the portals.
Hints to each secret can be found within the Scavenger Hunt area, with the idea being that you then unlock each secret to unlock the answer to the final portal path within the area. Doing this will unlock the achievement:
Secret 1
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Head to the center of the literally literal section.
Location: Linear Entertainment (1-2)
Solution: For this secret, you must first make your way to the end section of the level. In this area, you will see a section in the middle which reads "Don't Worry, this section is quite linear, Literally.". This is the area you must reach to unlock the pink portal. To do this, simply make your way to the final checkpoint and then head back to the middle button. Once pressed, kill yourself and the path will remain open. See video below for a visual representation.
Secret 2
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: On the fury roll, you should avoid yellowy glowing stuff from start to finish.
Location: Fury Rolled (1-5)
Solution: For this secret you must beat the level without collecting a single yellow pickup. Use the checkpoints to you advantage if you accidentally pick one up. Some parts of the level will require you to use the outer pathways that aren't generally used as part of the standard level route.
Secret 3
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Beat the unbeatable and escape the inescapable death in the Temple of the Holy Fail.
Location: Temple of the Holy Fail (2-2)
Solution: Towards the end of the level you will find a section which claims to be unbeatable. It actually isn't, and you have to pass through it for the secret portal. Now this is very much a case of something looking WAY harder than it actually is. Follow the video below for the super easy way to pass this area, and DON'T let the game trick you into dying after you have done it (not that its hard to do once you see the strat).
Secret 4
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Get dizzy by rolling around the chess pillar just before jumping to the conclusion.
Location: Roll of Thirds (2-4)
Solution: Just down from the spawn point in the level you will find yourself on a square platform with a pillar in the middle and an X pattern made out of red squares. Simply roll around the pillar in the center anti-clockwise until your controls are inverted. Once this happens, head to the end of the level as normal to find a pink portal has spawned across from the finish. Don't worry about dying, the controls wont reset as long as you have reached a checkpoint.
Secret 5
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Let the yellow orbs help you find the secret captcha code.
Location: True Grid (3-1)
Solution: Simply enter the numbers 1, 2, 4 and 6 into the captcha and proceed through the portal where you will be greeted with the pink secret portal. You will find that yellow pickups are only found in clusters of these numbers. This is most obvious in the second room of the level:
Secret 6
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Fail at your survival training even before reaching the first hazard.
Location: Survival 101 (3-2)
Solution: Simply kill yourself at the very start of the level.
You will then respawn in a new area. This area can be a little tricky, but nothing crazy. The trick is to collect the health pickup after the second set of reds. You must end the second set with over 50 health in order to survive the third wave and reach the blue pick up at the top. See the video below for a better representation:
Secret 7
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Lorem ipsum dolor, i.e. get to the question mark.
Location: Pun's Labyrinth (4-1)
Solution: For this secret, you must reach the "?" in the first room of the level. Instead of trying to describe this one in words, i think its best i just show a video:
Secret 8
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: If you encounter any out-of-sync traps while having hiccups, please investigate.
Location: Hiccup Curse (4-2)
Solution: First make your way to the exit room of the level. You will see an out of sync red square toward the bottom right of the room.
You must reach this square to enter the secret area which leads to the pink portal. The secret area for this level is is actually pretty tricky, so i will leave a video below on how i passed it.
Reaching the secret area:
Completing* the secret area:
*Dont die at the end like i did in the video xD
Secret 9
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Sometimes, half is the better solution
Location: You've Got Some Balls (4-4)
Solution: Traverse the level until you reach the point where you have to select the correct path. Choose path 4 and proceed down the invisible platforms until you reach 2 portals. Move around the first portal and enter the second portal. This will teleport you to a secret area with the pink portal. The area is pretty linear, but also pretty tricky, so i will include a video below.
Secret 10
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Hint: Ballbossa can help you get down to business below the airstrike.
Location: Ballbossa, The Boss Ball (4-5)
Solution: Complete the first leg of the boss battle until you have the option of choosing an air strike or to shrink. Instead of choosing either of these, proceed to jump over the bottom wall of the room, and then into a secret room containing the pink portal.
The first part of the secret area is fairly straight forward. Simply take your time jumping over the fake pickups and then jump the wall to the second room. The second room may look a lot harder, and if you do it legit, it is. You can however, simply jump the two large walls straight to the pink portal without worrying about the diagonal jumps.
Once you have unlocked all 10 secrets, the achievement is all yours, as well as the solution for reaching the correct exit portal in Scavenger Hunt. |
