If you’re aiming to unlock the “Free to Play” achievement, there is a specific section within the game known as the “deep sea” where you can find three circular platforms with pink cores.
Free to play Achievement Guide
To successfully obtain the achievement, you must perform the following steps: bounce towards the fish-like creature, allow yourself to be hit by the white wave it emits, and then rebound to safety. It is crucial to repeat this process three times in total in order to activate the achievement.
For the most optimal results, it is recommended to initiate the sequence from the top-right circle, as depicted in the provided screenshot.
To ensure a successful interaction with the fish-like creature, it is essential to direct your movement towards its core. If you fail to do so, the fish will evade your approach, resulting in your demise.
By accurately aiming towards the core, you will prompt the fish to emit a noticeable white wave, as illustrated in the accompanying screenshot. Consequently, you will be propelled back in the opposite direction, allowing you to continue your gameplay.
Once you are in mid-air or mid-water, it’s important to note that you lose control over your movement. Therefore, it is crucial to adjust your aim right from the beginning to ensure that you can be propelled back to the top-left circle, which is your starting point.
Remember to repeat this process a total of three times in order to successfully earn the achievement. Good luck!
Manipulating the Save File
In this game, the option to load from specific checkpoints is not available. However, it is possible to modify the savefile directly to achieve this functionality.
On Windows, the default path of the savefile is usually located at C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\LocalLow\Lance\Onde\SaveFile.es3.
To access the savefile, you can open it with any text editor. Within the file, you will find a section that looks similar to the following:
"LevelNum" : { "__type" : "int", "value" : 56 },
The “value” mentioned in the savefile can range from 0 to 67, depending on your progress in the game. To reach the nearest checkpoint to the “Free to Play” achievement, you need to edit this value to 56 and then save the file.
It is important to note that you should perform this modification when the game is not running to ensure that the changes are properly recognized.
Please remember to save the edited file after making the necessary adjustments.
