General Info

This achievement must be done in infantile mode as backtracking is only possible in that mode.

2016 release: 2016 release added 10 more assassins in the new cloud shortcut. Follow the guide normally and then watch the second video on the new assassins to complete the Become the Master achievement. Other than Arenanet removing the infantile clouds after the new shortcut, bauble locations are still the same.

Tip for Become the Master achievement: There is a thing called Team Score under Super Adventure Box on top right corner of your screen. That score is how many you have assassins you have killed so use it to keep track for every checkpoint. This score ticks if you kill a frog etc so do not kill them until the frog pagoda (or just keep track of how many you killed).

Make sure you have a wooden whistle for the last hidden room! Can be brought at the shopkeeper right at starting point for World 2 Zone 3 for 250 baubles or at hidden room 5 in world 2 zone 1 .

Required items: Wooden Whistle, Bombs, Whip, and Glove of Wisdom (this guide assume you have done World zone 2 at least once, if not then you will need to backtrack for 12 and 13 after you have got the glove from the first miniboss).

You must do this in infantile mode as you cannot backtrack without infantile clouds. Make sure you have at least 50 baubles to start for 2 keys just in case.

Couple of other things

Make sure your bauble wallet is never full during the collection of baubles. Waste them on bombs if you are full.
Only baubles in the “open” world and in chests count – those dropped by enemies or found by smash things in shop/dug up do not.
You cannot exit to SAB hub while doing this, doing so will reset your progress. You can die or go to Moto’s Hell (i.e. where you need to buy more continue coins).
If you DC/crash etc then you will need to start over.

12. Blue Bauble

You will now need to make a very hard jump to get to the cloud near Shortcut Eagle. If you can, try a dodge jump as it covers longer distance than a standard jump (put your thumb on spacebar and V and then press at same time). Push the block with your glove of wisdom to jump up there. Be very careful to not get sucked in by the shortcut eagle (you need to jump on the mountain nearby right after grabbing the bauble). Your first hidden room is also here which you can access by throwing a bomb on the top of the mountain covered with canopy. Buy your key here!

15. Blue Bauble/Assassins(3)

Get to the checkpoint first so you don’t have to run back so much when you die. Around the checkpoint are 3 assassins, 2 white and 1 red. Kill them and then hop down to the flower pad below. Use it to get to the blue bauble. Now use the second flower pad to shoot yourself into the hole in the wall where you will encounter your second hidden room.

Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5

Bauble count:.1 Assassin count: 6. Total: 16 baubles, 39 assassins.

16. Blue Bauble/Assassins (6)

One blue bauble inside the room on the top floor so should be very easy to get. If you doing it on infantile mode you will need to jump off the rainbow to grab it. For assassins you have the follow

1 Assassins (mini boss)
2 red and 2 white assassins in the top floor of the building
1 red assassins running around on the outside of the building when you exit.

Bauble count:.1 Assassin count: 6. Total: 16 baubles, 39 assassins.

Checkpoint 5 to Checkpoint 6

Bauble count:.1 Assassin count: 4. Total: 17 baubles, 43 assassins.

17. Blue Bauble/Assassins (4)

There is a blue bauble in the middle of second floor of this building with the push block puzzles. You have to do the push block puzzle now since there are no more infantile clouds that lead you through it. Do not follow the right path as that lead you to cloud shortcut which skip you directly to the final boss.

For assassins you have 1 red patrolling the bottom floor, 2 on the top floor running around (one white and one red) and then one white assassin behind the little rock with glove symbol which you can’t open but can lure the assassin out.

Bauble count:.1 Assassin count: 4. Total: 17 baubles, 43 assassins.

Checkpoint 6 to Checkpoint 7

Bauble count:.9 Assassin count: 13. Total: 26 baubles, 56 assassins.

18-26. Blue Baubles (9)/Assassins (13)

Right after you exit checkpoint 5, take a left and use the cloud to get to the roof of the dart pagoda. There are 7 Blue Baubles you can reach on the wooden thingie that supports the bell. Once you grabbed those, use the cloud to grab the 2 on the roof of the pagoda with the glove miniboss.

In terms of assassins, there are quite a few (13)

3 Purple assassins along the path to the piranha pagoda
2 White assassins on the first floor of piranha pagoda
2 white and 2 red assassins on the second floor
1 red and 3 white assassins on the third floor.

Bauble count:.9 Assassin count: 13. Total: 26 baubles, 56 assassins.

Checkpoint 7 to Checkpoint 8

Bauble count: 2 Assassin count: 3. Total: 28 baubles, 59 assassins.

27-28. Red Baubles (2)/Assassin (3)

There is an assassin right after the checkpoint standing on top of a mountain. Bomb the top of the mountain to reveal third hidden room . Inside the hidden room, remove the bookcase behind the shopkeeper and then throw a bomb to reveal the fourth hidden room once you go through it.

Now zone back into the shop and buy your key, we are going to backtrack get that chest on the roof of the piranha pagoda that contain two red baubles.

Once you have the two red baubles, head towards the next checkpoint but don’t forget the two white assassins along the way. The first one you have to kill with slingshot but the second one can be reached by jumping from the next checkpoint.

Bauble count:.9 Assassin count: 13. Total: 28 baubles, 59 assassins.

Checkpoint 8 to Checkpoint 9

Bauble count:.1 Assassin count: 6. Total: 29 baubles, 65 assassins.

29. Blue Bauble/Assassins (6)

The Blue Bauble is inside the toad room which you can access after clearing the pagoda before it. That pagoda has 5 assassins (2 red, 3 white) on the various floors so make sure you kill them all.

The toad room is tricky because it is going to affect your Team Score, which up to this point only reflected assassin kills if you have being avoiding the toads. The toads in this room are very hard to avoid so you will need to kill them and keep track. Your team score at this point should be 64 before the toads. There are exactly 6 toads in the room so subtract 6 from your team score to keep track of assassin totals.

The blue bauble is in the middle of the room but it is trapped with darts. Get close to it and then use your whip to grab it.

Passing the toad room, there is a white assassin outside that you need to nab for the achievement.

Bauble count:.1 Assassin count: 6. Total: 29 baubles, 65 assassins.

Checkpoint 9 to Checkpoint 10

Bauble count:6. Assassin count 17: . Total: 35 baubles, 82 assassins.

30-31. Blue Baubles (2)

Once you hit the next checkpoint right outside entrance to gong pagoda, go back and get on top of the toad pagoda to get these two blue baubles. There is a bauble on the pagoda right before the toad pagoda but you can’t reach it just yet.

32. Blue Bauble/Assassins (2)

There is a blue bauble on the outer edge of the gong pagoda on the first floor. It is to the right of the checkpoint near the hand symbol on the ground but you can’t reach it that way due to dart trap. Instead, go around it and grab it.

You will also encounter two assassins (red) on the outer edge as well.

33. Purple Bauble

Go back to the checkpoint and then go left from the checkpoint. At end of the platform, drop down and bomb the wall to reveal your fifth hidden room. Buy a key from the shop as we will be needing it for the bauble.

Exit the shop and be extra careful following the outer edges of the cliff to get back to the pagoda before the toad pagoda. Take care to not fall to your death or you lose your key and have to buy it again. Make your way back to the checkpoint again at the gong pagoda.

From the checkpoint, you are going the same way as you did when you went to the hidden room but this time jump on the grassy area to your left and climb up the tree with an owl. Get to the top of the tree and then hop to the pagoda. Then use the pagoda to hop on to the higher tree and then hop again back to the pagoda a floor higher.

From the upper floor, go to back of the pagoda, you will see clouds you can climb to get to the roof. From the roof, you will need to make a giant leap of faith onto this tree sticking out of a giant rock to land on top of the rock.

Once you are on top of of the big rock, bomb it to reveal your sixth hidden room. Bring your key and jump down. Inside the hidden room, bomb one of the walls to reveal the seventh hidden room . Carefully drop down to a chest below to get the purple bauble.

Now jump off the chest and return to checkpoint.

34. Blue Bauble

Go back to the rock with the sixth hidden room, this time don’t go in. Now make a huge leap (make need to dodge jump if you can’t reach it) to the roof of the pagoda before the toad pagoda so you can grab the blue bauble there.

35. Purple Bauble

Go back to the same rock again and this time jump on the flower pads which will shoot you to the next hill over. There is a hillbilly camp at that hill with entrance to a maze nearby. Follow the raccoons thieves and they will lead you to the Raccoon Kingpin.

Bomb that area to reveal eighth hidden room . Go inside the room and then interact with the cross/stranger to learn a new song for your flute. Play the song 332331 and this will open the door to ninth and final hidden room and purple bauble .

Gong pagoda assassin clearing (15)

There are no baubles inside the gong pagoda but if you want the assassin achievement you will need to clear every floor.Note that sometimes the white assassins are sticking together and may look like one when in fact it is two.

First floor should be cleared since you already killed them in 32
1 white assassin on second floor
3 (1 red, 2 white) on third floor
2 white assassins on fourth floor
2 red assassins on fifth floor
4 white assassins on sixth floor
3 (2 red, 1 white) from gong pagoda to next checkpoint.

Bauble count:6. Assassin count 17: . Total: 35 baubles, 82 assassins.

Checkpoint 10 to Checkpoint 11

Bauble count:6. Assassin count 18: . Total: 41 baubles, 100 assassins.

DO NOT ACTIVATE THE NEXT CHECKPOINT! THIS WILL MAKE THE RUN BACK TO SHORTCUT EAGLE IF YOU DIE THAT MUCH LONGER.

36. Blue Bauble/Assassins ( 8 )

Go Left, Right, Right, Forward, Forward and clear all the assassins on the way (6 assassins, 1 red, 5 white). This should give you a blue bauble at the end.

Now jump off and respawn at checkpoint, go forward, left this time and kill the two assassins (2 reds). This will bring you to the next checkpoint but do not activate the checkpoint yet. That is 90 assassins in total. Your team score should be 96 assuming you only killed the six toads at the toad pagoda.

Now you need to backtrack to the shortcut eagle. Basically keep going back until you reach the place with the tall pillars that you need to jump through. In the middle of all the pillars is a cloud on the left you can jump on and follow.

Keep backtracking, back to the piranha pagoda.

Backtracking to the pagoda with the master assassin. Those infantile clouds come in real handy.

Your goal is to backtrack all the way to the shortcut eagle and use it.

37-41. Blue Baubles (5)

Now while on the eagle, you need to stay on it until the last minute to get the 5 baubles that you need.

You do not need to collect any baubles during the shortcut eagle flight to get the achievement, just stay at the head and you will be safe. The head protects you from bees in front.

If you stay until the last second of the flight, you will get ported to the top of the bell and go there to collect 5 baubles.

Now you need to make a decision here, if you are confident about your jumping ability, you want to make a long jump and hope you make it across the checkpoint. If not, you probably should save on the last checkpoint before boss and then try jump over to this checkpoint on the side clouds.

Once you are saved at the new checkpoint, jump to the new cloud area where you will find 6 assassins on the cloud. Then you want to jump to the little hut where you will find 2 more assassins .

Finally, jump to the huge fluffy clouds to the right and you will find 2 more assassins to kill. This should give you Become the Master achievement.

Now kill yourself so you respawn.

Bauble count:6. Assassin count 18: . Total: 41 baubles, 100 assassins.

Checkpoint 12 to Checkpoint 13

Bauble count:1. Assassin count 0: . Total: 42 baubles, 100 assassins.

42. Blue Bauble

Go activate the bell and then past the last checkpoint you will find you last bauble.

Kill the boss

Kill the boss will give you the Bachelor of Baubles achievement at the end.

Nice, 🙂 can not wait to see the video guide =)
Marlon

Great work!
Suth

Thanks a lot for the guide! After yesterday’s patch, it might be benificial to do the achievement on normal difficulty in order to obtain a lot of baubles from assassins.

The jump to the short cut eagle actually was really easy before the change to the spinning flowers, as one could just use that with the right angle to get over.
- Suth
  
  Okay, I seriously supoort doing this on infantile mode, backtracking to shortcut eagle near the end is a pain on normal mode.
Hanatash

Great, now I managed to get the Become the Master achievement, but not Bachelor of Baubles. This game just randomly decides which achievement it’s gonna give me.

I guess it’s yet another run through this long bloody map. <_<
- Belle
  
  You should really do it on infantile, i just finished and although the eagle is such a pain and should be done earlier, its a lot easier with the clouds
  - Hanatash
    
    I did do it in infantile. It’s just bloody annoying because I had to do the map 5 times to get the 2 achievements, even though I should have got them both on my second try.
    
    Now on to zone 3…
Nick

I cant seem to finish this. I got my Become the master achievement but when Im backtracking I keep falling though a rainbow… (the one with the pirahnas and giant blue squid)
- Nick
  
  I found my way, completed the eagle, got the baubles and the last one. STILL NO ACHIEVEMENT :(((
Dark

Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4\ 12. Blue Bauble\ The flower jump is somehow bugged, actually all of them. No matter where you aim, they make you jump to the actual direction of the jump. Which means, that it got bugged somehow after the newest patch.

If anyone has the same issue as me, please confirm.
- Nick
  
  They’ve made them that way now
  - Dark
    
    Is there a way to make them turn to the other way?
    - Hanatash
      
      No, all flowers now put you specifically where they’re supposed to put you. You cannot control the trajectory in any way AFAIK.
      
      Note that you don’t actually need the flowers to do any of the jumps.
Haros

A question. Does the short cut eagle get you a checkpoint ? Or could you go through that. Die and progress normally? I’d prefer doing it on normal but backtracking after the eagle would be a real pain…

[EDIT] Ugh… it makes a checkpoint before the part with teleporters. That’s a shame :/\ [EDIT 2] But backtracking isn’t that bad, makes it interesting 😉
- Hanatash
  
  While I haven’t tried it with the eagle, the worm in W1 tags all the checkpoints it passes, so imagine it’s the same here.
Aes

After spending quite a lot of time in this zone for this particular achievement (doing it without this guide) Just before i got the last bauble, i was literally stuck inside one of the wooden beams you use to hit the gong and couldn’t get out…safe to say i didn’t get the achievement completed >.> But thanks for this guide dulfy! It’ll make my second run through much quicker and hopefully i’ll be a little less stuck =D
- Dulfy
  
  Next time that happens try use shovel and see if you can dig out a bunny to kill you. Some people said it works. Anyways I had that bug occured to me twice early on so I learned to never move until the wooden beam stops swinging
Sephryn

near the end, after the portal puzzle with the assassins, where you have to jump on the wooden poles;\ if you die falling off of them, for some reason, it takes away two of your lives instead of one,\ so very annoying
Firestrike

Required items: Flute, Bombs, Whip

You didn’t say I need the Gloves of Wisdom,waste of time now.
- Magnusito
  
  You must be kidding
  - Vigmaor Kappi
    
    You can get the glove as you approach the dojo, then you can backtrack. It’s not the end of the world
- Sokan
  
  if you’re stubborn like me you’ll try to move forward and kill the mini boss and then backtrack after you get the gloves, but i understand your disappointment because dulfy always assume everyone’s experienced
Xtn

Hey Dulfy, thank you for your amazing work, it’s incredible.. Are you planning a video of this?
- Dulfy
  
  Yes still 3 hrs left on upload, it is a 30 minute video and I did it in 1080p for some reason so size is quite big
  - erwgw
    
    You could mention we need the glove…
    - Dulfy
      
      You get the glove from the mini boss. I assumed you have at least done this once before getting all the baubles etc. if not then you can always backtrack.
Guest

36. Blue Bauble/Assassins ( 8 )… You can save 1 live when you jump on the next platform with the teleporter and take the one that farest away from you to get to the checkpoint 🙂

TYVM for the guide, you are awesome!
Tyler

Great guide, it helped me get the bauble achievement. One question though: how do you get inside the gong pagoda? I can’t go up the ramp because of the dart traps, and there aren’t any other outside entrances.
- Dulfy
  
  You avoid the dart traps, there is a way to avoid them and go up the ramps. I will have the video ready in half an hour if all goes well and you can check it out.
Muzko

Is the video on the way? =D
- Dulfy
  
  Video is up now!
  - Muzko
    
    Thx :3
poebel

Just a hint if you have problems with the shortcut eagle:\ You can buy 9 small health pots (5 baubles each) and constantly keep using them during the flight (just stand on the head).\ -> You should end up with one heart left
Sephryn

Wow, the shortcut eagle was the most annoying part, I think,\ but I did it finally.\ Thanks for the guide, and the tips to help to complete it, they’re very helpful.

Even with 4 hearts and no potions, it is possible to complete the eagle with one heart left,\ if you time the bees/birds right.\ I found that if you turn the game music off and environment/other sounds up,\ you can hear the bird wings flapping sound easier, to know when to move to the side, on the eagles wings;\ also, if you hear the wings flapping noise and see the bees coming towards you,\ at the same exact time,\ sometimes it’s just better to take a hit, standing at the head of the eagle, rather than risk falling off the eagle and dying/starting over.

Also, at the boss, if doing it in infantile mode,\ I found that if you stand on the right rainbow bridge,\ the one next to the one you used to get to the boss cage, on the right;\ you can stand at the edge of the bridge, hit the cage and it only takes one step back to move away, when the bosses head moves (to attack you).
- Sephryn
  
  Although, I was using the upgrade default weapon the nunchucks “chain sticks” from the hidden shop to attack the boss,\ and I’m not sure if it had a longer reach or not than the sword,\ so it might have been easier to reach the boss with those?\ I found it definitely seemed easier and faster to kill other things like assassins with the upgrade
good jorb

I like how you gave us a warning that we need the push skill in order to do this

Required items: Flute, Bombs, Whip
- Neyare
  
  You forcibly acquire it by following the guide, it’s not a prerequisite.
Neyare

Protip for Shortcut Eagle: Instead of listening to the bees, just turn around and look backwards. You’ll see them home in on you and you can just sidestep them at the last second while staying safely behind the head to prevent frontal bees from assailing you. Makes for an easy trip with no health loss.

Also, with regard to item 32 in the guide, I found that the dart traps on the outside of the gong pagoda are actually fake. You can run right past the one pointed at in the screenshot on 32, as well as the one on the other side of the pagoda. My guess is they’re disabled in Infantile Mode.
Azure Prower

Followed guide to the letter. Got all achievements but the bauble one.
- Murth
  
  Tried it 2 times now, not getting bauble one either.
  - Harnace
    
    Me neither..
  - RhapsodyBD
    
    Well it seems I’m not the only one
  - Murth
    
    Did it a third time now,still no achievement.\ Seems it’s bugged for some ppl.
    - Murth
      
      Finally got it, this time I did it in normal mode…
- Dulfy
  
  It seems everytime I post a bauble related guide up, there are people who didn’t get it while others got it fine. Make sure you check the following
  
  1. Actually grabbed all baubles – sometimes it is good to check, especially if say a chest contain two baubles and you only grabbed one.\ 2. You did not zone out to Super Adventure box, dc etc – i.e. did it in one go.\ 3. You kill the final boss of the zone, achievement isn’t rewarded until the final boss is killed.
  - Thervold
    
    It worked perfectly for me. Baubles, secrets, and assassins all in one go.
  - Azure Prower
    
    Met all the requirements.
    
    Don’t want to do it again.
    
    Saved myself the headache and got all the achievements required for the title minus the Bachelor and Master of Baubles that isn’t needed. It’s really not worth the 10 achievement points.
  - Morten Møller Jakobsen
    
    I can confirm as well that you must have missed something. Followed the guide to the letter, got both achievements.
wef

Couldn’t you type EARLIER to not touch the next checkpoint?! geez. If i can’t make it now anymore then 2h in the back…
- Dulfy
  
  Touching the next checkpoint adds some more jumps for the run back to the shortcut eagle but it isn’t end of the world. Also, I wrote the warning right after the previous checkpoint, any earlier and it would not be irrelevant.
  
  Don’t exaggerate it to 2hours and don’t make multiple accounts saying the same thing. I can see your IP.
  - wef
    
    I don’t make multi acc lol. I just couldn’t edit my previous message. I tried jumping back in multiple ways but that did not work. I even got to other platforms with teleporters but they kept teleporting me to the final tele at the checkpoint.
    
    Also it did take 2 hours because it was basically: watch 2 minutes of vid -> repeat, watch 2 minutes of vid -> repeat. I wanted to be sure I don’t miss any.
    
    PS you use double negative “would not be irrelevant”. Either “would not be relevant” or “would be irrelevant”. Double negative means it “would be relevant”
    - Nitia Cheveallier
      
      omg a grammar Nazi\ who cares!!!\ At least Dulfy made the guide in the first place.
  - wef
    
    On a side note, is it possible to have an option on youtube for faster vids? Would love to be able to watch it at 2x or 4x speed.
Blinkroot

I just started following this guide and I’m right in front of the first checkpoint. I’ve killed 9 assassins, confirmed by the team score. In section5-6 there was 2 white assassins and 1 red.
- Blinkroot
  
  Also, in section 7 there were only 2 assassins for me. I guess this could be where some people are missing one if it can appear in different places. (I hadn’t opened the gate previously) Oh well, just sharing. Love the help Dulfy.
  - Dulfy
    
    Yes it is only 2 because the red assassin spilled over to 5-6.
- Dulfy
  
  No it is only 2 white, the red assassin you killed is the one rushed in from after the checkpoint and is part of the 3 red assassins around the first pagoda. It doesn’t matter if you open the checkpoint or not, that assassin will rush you if you get close
Mistaya

So I followed this video to the T, but I didn’t get the Become the Master achievement. I noticed at the first pagoda, you said there would be 3. Yet there were only 2. Possible bug I guess? If so, then I guess I won’t be getting this achievement now. 🙁
- Dulfy
  
  It is not a bug, as I replied to the other poster, the reason it is 2 because the 3rd one rushed you at the checkpoint, rest assured, he is accounted for.
  - Mistaya
    
    So I’m doing this a 2nd time, my bad. lol Been following your video guide (which thank you so much that you do this! 🙂 ) and did not notice one assassin. The pagoda just after the first bell/checkpoint, at the top in the room for the next checkpoint, I did not notice you attack an assassin that you can peep between a door frame and a wall that you can’t break yet. I got it now! Thank you 🙂
Eddie

Guide works fine if you missed anything re-read it
dxsun

Hi, i am stucked at cpoint 10 to get to 5 baubles near the boss gong. Is there a way to go back to the eagle from cpoint 10 on normal mode or there is a way to get there after cpoint 10?

p/s: I finished the achievement for secrets and assassin.
Mr Iain

got all the achivements thx o great master of all nerds there are
- Mr Iain
  
  and a tip for those who have problems with the eagle crab a few healing potions (best the greater ones..\^\^) stand behinde his head go afk with finger on healpot if not lazy enough dodge sometimes forward when they come to sting you 😛
Lanfairya

So to make the eagle part 100% easier turn around, you can see the swarm of bees coming and just generally hang out int he middle. I kept failing it like a total loser until my guildie was like “oh turn around”

How come we don’t have the clouds? This guide is useless if you don’t get the rainbow clouds. Can someone elaborate?

Just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for this and the other SAB guides!! I can’t imagine doing these achievements (especially baubles) without them – thx again SO MUCH!! 🙂

Some things have changed around the gong pagoda.\ 1. There is a new cloud that allows to skip the toad room (one needs to catch the blue bauble out of it ouf course)\ 2. The dart trap that used to forbid just going around the pagoda is deactivated. So one has more options at this point.

Both things are valid for infantile mode, only.

I’ve got only 3 assassins in the top floor of gong pagoda ;/ no achievement…

Me and 2 friends did this today, i read the guide and they followd me, but me and 1 of my friends did’t get the Bachelor of Baubles achievement but 1 of us got it, the only difrens is that the guy who got it made the shortcut eagle on the first try and we who did’t get it fell of and had to do it again.\ Could this be a bug?!
- Murth
  
  I would guess it’s a bug but don’t think it’s related to him falling of the shortcut eagle the first time. I’m not getting the achievement either and I’m not failling the shortcut eagle :p
- Zens
  
  I think it s a bug, I failed the eagle countless times, but got the achievement finally.

Hi Dulfy, first off a huge thank you for all the hard work you put into\ these guides! They are greatly appreciated, and have been a lifesaver for me over the past year 🙂

I’ve been reading thru this guide in preparation for doing these achievements later\ today. Just spotted something – at the top of the “Checkpoint 1 to\ Checkpoint 2” section it states 18 assassins, for a total of 23 but I see the bottom of the section shows 15 assassins, so I am going to assume 15 is the correct total. Might want to update that to avoid confusion 🙂
- Dulfy
  
  thanks, corrected 🙂

Followed the video guide for baubles, and got every single one as outlined in the video. Sadly, no achievement. I wonder if its a game bug, or what, because I was alt-tabbing and pausing for every bauble lol.
Moooo

Why not put the shortcut eagle near the beginning of the guide? Just grab the baubles on top of the bell after the shortcut eagle and then suicide and continue collecting baubles where you left off. This saves on the 5 minute walks every time you get knocked off or die to the bees. Would’ve saved me 25 minutes anyway.
- Dulfy
  
  No because it doesn’t work like that. The shortcut eagle saves you to the checkpoint that is right before the teleporters w/ the assassins if you take it all the way to the end. Unless you feel like backtracking from the end of the zone to collect pretty much 90% of the baubles..
  - Moooo
    
    Ohhh woops, didn’t know it automatically saved like a checkpoint after the ride.
Moo moo

One of the worst living stories ever. I am on 6 hours on word 2 zone 2 doing this guide, messed up twice and stuck on the long “shortcut” eagle cause I keep getting knocked off. Hope world 3 is better.
- Zens
  
  For the eagle, when you still get knocked off, get 9 healing pots, stay at the head and just ignore the ones from behind, heal through it. With 5 hearts (live bar) you never get down to zero.
  
  @ Dulfy, great guide!

Well, I followed the guide to the letter, spend two hours checking and rechecking everything… no achievement. Didn’t fall off the eagle or anything, got every bauble, killed every assassin, went to every secret area. Got the master of killing assassins ‘chieve, got the secrets ‘chieve, but no baubles ‘chieve. I think it might be a bug or something because there’s just no way I missed any. I read through the guide again going, “Nope got that one, nope got that one, nope got that one.”

At least I can have another go without needing to get every assassin :3
