How to unlock the Beyond death achievement

    While this game is not overly difficult, this achievement can be a bit challenging due to some of the jumps requiring almost perfect placement and or timing. So if you are struggling with pulling this off, I have good news for you. I have discovered an extremely easy (and some would say cheap) way around the requirements for the achievement. I recommend saving this for last as you will likely lose your progress for your collectibles if you haven't finished them. I don't know for sure as I didn't check, but you will understand why I assume it will happen once I explain what to do.

    Play through the game however you want, doing this during your speedrun (which is actually very easy once you play through the game once and are ignoring collectibles.) Or during your initial playthrough or whenever. The point is, you don't have to worry about how many times you die. Die as many times as you want.

    When you reach the end of the game and are exiting the final cave and see daylight and trees and the little spirits again, STOP! Don't go too far past the mouth of the cave or you'll trigger the end cutscene. Press the guide button on your controller to bring up the Xbox menu. Scroll down to the Wenjia tile, press start, manage game, saved game. Highlight your save file, which appears as your gamertag and not the"delete all" option at the top, and delete from everywhere. You may have delete it a couple times. Just make sure it disappears so you have no save file for the game. This is the first game I have come across that doing this does not automatically force close the game. I don't know why, but I'm not going to complain.

    Once your save file is deleted go back into the game, unpause it and continue forward to trigger the end scene. Once you reach the stats/credits screen it will show you have 0 deaths and the achievement will pop.

    And there you have it. The most challenging and potentially frustrating achievement in the game turned into a handout. Happy hunting!

    Edit: several people have stated that this also works for the speed run achievement, so there's that. I can't confirm or deny it because I did my speedrun prior to this. An added bonus if it works for both!

    Liam NeilStill works April 2023 although if you see this before starting the game. Get all the collectibles on your 1st run and by the time you get here you should have all the achievements except this and the speed run. If so, do what the solution says, if not, load back and get them because after your save is deleted you have to start the collectibles again. Just a side note :-)

    Lord RoAlJoNovember 2023 and it still works. I managed to 100% the game in one play through thanks to this.

    The last three achievements I needed were to complete the story, finish under and hour and to finish with no less than 5 deaths.

    All three popped at the end thanks to this technique. Thank you OP!

    ThePaleHorsemans guide was spot on, brilliant find!
    This is just a video showing where you have to delete your game and what happens.

    Skip to 3:00 to see me exiting the cave and where i actually go ahead and delete the save, and as i go back into the game to unlock it!

    The first 3 minutes is me explaining it and sort of getting through the last main level just so you can see where it sort of starts off.

    Hope this helps

    by quitting out of the game and going back into it. (The checkpoint in that case is right at the beginning of the lava chasing you part.)

    TheWelshHuntThanks for the update sjp!
    Wasn't a bad game by all means, but always nice to glitch your way into saving yourself an hour haha
