How to unlock the Charmed achievement

    The earliest you can get this is in the first 5 minutes of the game, the tutorial area of the game, King's Pass. After the section where the floor breaks beneath you, you come to a short section where you cross three platforms floating above spikes, with spikes coming down above you. After the third platform, instead of going up, you can walk down to a secret path that looks impassable. However, you can "pogo jump" on the spikes similar to the game Ducktales by attacking and holding down and bouncing you to the platform across (actually a good tactic for this game too!). Continue to follow the path down until you see a chest, which contains the Fury of the Fallen charm.

    If you miss this charm the first time as you can't return to the tutorial area for a while, other charms you can get including buying at the shop after finding the cartographer in the first area and returning to town or at the end of the path of the Ancestral Mound after beating the first boss.

    GoatlipsTook about 3 restarts, which takes a couple of minutes to reach the area (which you reach in quite linear fashion - you have to go that way, other than dead ends), which was a bit annoying till you get the pogo timing right.
    You need to hold for a big jump (after killing the black ghost, which is sometimes there), then hold LS down and time X to attack the spikes - but might need to push left or right as you might under/over-shoot - from the platform you only need to hold A to do a big jump to clear the remaining spikes - so, only one pogo jump is needed, thankfully.

    It was one of the quickest achievements for the Game Pass Hidden Gems Punch Card, for 500 MS Rewards points.
    FYI - Google how to redeem and convert your points so that you can get Game Pass free forever (currently?). But it involves collecting Rewards points wherever you can, then redeeming 15000pts for 3 months of Xbox Live Gold (which takes <2 months to collect), and when you buy your first month of GP for £1 it's converted directly to 3 months of GP (but only 2mths if your GP subscription hasn't expired, so let it expire first). Ideally, you want to redeem 180,000pts for 12x 3mths of XLG, so you get the 3yr maximum GP subscription (you only really want 2y11m first time, as you need to buy the £1 first month). After 3yrs, you'll easily have another 180,000 (GP adds far more available Rewards points), and you let GP expire and repeat the process.
    NB: Rewards Customer Services assured me that the 3mth XLG redeem codes don't expire, so you could redeem and save up the codes (but not use them over the 3yrs) if you are worried about this process changing or XLG ending (although it's been allowed for years, and XLG 3mths trade-ins are still available at this time). I made the error of buying 3yrs of XLG, rather than waiting to get 180,000msp, but if you only get 1mth of GP you can keep this process going, as you can earn 15,000 for the 3mths XLG each month with GP, especially if you use another profile (which can get some GP rewards from installed games on the same console - but not play them via the Cloud). Redeem codes are not linked to any profile, so you eventually redeem them on your main profile. I use a spare phone to do the Bing mobile searches for my spare profile, so I save time logging in and out. Even my spare profile has amassed >130k msp in 320 days, and my main profile only has a couple of thousand more. Once you're on GP just your main profile could probably earn the 180k in a year, if you got all of them - so you don't need to be that committed, and I need to relax it quite a bit shock .
    ...Actually, forget Google, that's pretty much everything covered.

    IamMachaI use Auto Redeem for GPU (Game Pass Ultimate) every month which is only 10,500 points and I usually get a 15$ gift card in between
