In about a years time this video has reached 20k! I really appreciate all the likes this video has gotten and I'm still happy to see people are finding use for this tutorial.

[@rellistic7239]

can I have the outro song name?

[@StarfuryLP]

@@rellistic7239 Yes! The song is You Are All Bad Guys from the Hat in Time Official Soundtrack. The part of the song I used is at the end of it.

[@theconductoresplin8092]

This video is pecking helpful

[@kyubeyz_7062]

That's what a merrrrrrrrrdererrrrrrrrrr would do

[@NightmareSpriter]

If you struggle with 2:10 as long as you equip Ice Hat and sit still as a statue they can't notice you. Same can be said for the Parade, just remain stationary as a block of ice until you're needed to push buttons or hit a switch. Be sure to move before DJ Grooves tells you that you have to for you will be forced out of the ice and will be hit, however breaking out of the ice yourself will not cause the band to hurt you even though they will on top of you, just make sure to move immediately after thawing.

[@alternativecomics2429]

Thanks

[@emeraldluigi4520]

Don't even get me started on the dead bird studio one. I swear I've spent a good 4 hours trying to master the patterns and little jumps, YET THERE'S ALWAYS THAT ONE OWL THAT SEES YOU. Also, another good spot for the *-falco reference-* Homing attack achievement is the beach in Mafia town, as you can normally get a few crows over to. Anyways, good video, certainly helpful for new people.

[@StarfuryLP]

Thanks! The dead bird studio mission was very miserable for me. The moving train and the part after that took many attempts, my friend had the same problems.

[@emeraldluigi4520]

norman labow Yeah, the very last one you have to evade. Time stop makes it even worse. I did it out of sheer luck.

[@dotdimitrix3876]

I got the homing attack achievement in the parade level. I let the UFOs near the end pile up near each other and just constantly homing attacked them.

[@torchfour]

i cheesed the studio with the Kirby hat mod because I'm a lazy bum that doesn't care how I got the achievement just that I got it.. y'know, I can also cheese a few other things too -u- *gets like, 4 other achivements with the Kirby hat*

2:27

[@dobadobadooo]

A minor nitpick: You actually CAN get the One Punch achievement from the Toilet of Doom. It counts as a boss, alongside the Mafia Chief, Conductor/DJ Grooves, Snatcher and the final boss. I personally got the achievement from the Mafia Chief anyway, but Toilet of Doom is definitely an easier time than the other three are in terms of not getting hit once.

[@StarfuryLP]

I didn't know that. I thought what it meant by bosses are the end of chapter bosses. My friend tested barrel battle and (maybe) Toilet of Doom and it didn't work so I just thought the mini bosses didn't work. It's been awhile so maybe we just didn't test that but in the end the Mafia Chief isn't that bad of an option.

[@dobadobadooo]

Well, I haven't tested it personally, but every trophy guide seems to refer to the Toilet of Doom as a viable option, and if you for some reason are having trouble with beating Mafia Chief without getting hit, Toilet of Doom is definitely the best alternative.

[@iddo12233]

@@dobadobadooo You're right, that's how I got it.

[@octogamer1373]

i cheated using time stop hat

[@SONICINSIDEOUT]

Am I the only one who found the Secret Intruder achievement really easy? At the train part, stick to the very edge of the side away from the owls/penguins.

[@StarfuryLP]

It can be easy. The birds that can see you on the train part move semi-randomly and you could end up on the train with a bad pattern. That does sound significantly easier if it works.

[@SONICINSIDEOUT]

I tried it on the PS4 version so I can confirm it works on that system. I'm not so sure about PCs or other consoles. I reckon it might work other platforms, though. It'd make it a lot easier for others who struggle with that section, Maybe someone should test it out if that's the case.

[@MaJeeDooo0010]

No your not !

[@SONICINSIDEOUT]

?

[@HobbZyV3]

Or just use the time hat

[@crazylizardred40]

If anyone is struggling with the act Ship Shape in the Arctic Cruise dlc chapter, there is a mod in the steam workshop called "Chill Out Walrus". When you do have that mod installed the captain will not get angry, so you can take basically all the time you want in the act, this can help with the "Minimum Shippable" achievement, or can help if you're struggling with the act in general.

[@itsnotiss2521]

For people who are struggling at the bit at 2:10 You can also use the ice hat, and just be stood on the top of the car as an ice statue. As long as you don't let go of the button, and stay as ice, the owls and penguins can't notice you.

[@accurate9835]

I got slip and slide by sliding an area in the subcon forest

[@georgie9303]

Thanks man! I like that you're straight to the point

[@alternativecomics2429]

I watch the videos without having the game. Though this is going to be my guide. Thank you.

[@StarfuryLP]

Thanks! The game is definitely worth it and has loads of replay potential too.

[@StarfuryLP]

Thank you guys for 10k views! I made this video hoping it would actually help somebody and it seems it worked!

[@zekezzekekan2144]

Nice video, I'll support you bro.

[@kaizergei]

For people who are struggling with a 1 hit run against the mafia boss Remember that the ice hat makes you invulnerable to his ultra and mega charge

[@eagaming5934]

u r a saint

[@TheShipCritic]

“Your search history has been submitted for federal review.” Hat kid: OH GOD

[@crabulonbestgirl9130]

I got the why achievement by saying peck

[@3psilon_]

I got It by Putting all swears in the detective question things, Like: Shit, Pussy, Asshole, ect.

[@user-ee2np3ru4w]

@@3psilon_ i just told a crow to stfu then got it

[@Germinator08]

YOU SHOULDNT BE ASHAMED OF YOUR P***S

[@UnderfellSansTheEdgySkeleton]

Crabulon27 You can also get the achievement by answering 0W0, OWO and probably all other things like that to the crows I'm not kidding

[@TheEpicXenemorph]

You shouldn't be ashamed of your a**

[@ArdePiertje]

bro I am abusing the ice hat too much. You can use it to ignore damage from the toilet of doom and not get detected at the studio. LMAO

[@Kofja]

I got the One Punch from defeating Toilet of Doom, was in co-op so that might be why I got it.

[@Nootelley]

Great video, very helpful

[@ebeaver15]

Great video my dude

[@bongo1392]

Another way to do the “why” achievement is when the crow on the train asks what body part you’re insecure about... You know what to type

[@PuffDaGoat]

Yep T-Series

[@Germinator08]

E

[@worthyhw5148]

I got my 40th Time piece because of you :)

[@bubblycass]

Actually. For the SECRET INTRUDER achievement, you can only have the Tresspassing fine in Dead Bird studio

[@bigg612]

6:56 well you can buy from the badge dealer before you finish that mission but I would agree that most people should get the time piece/follow mustache girl

[@ZedZerdz_]

I think the reason Put a Badge on It has more achievements than Let there be Light is because that achievement was available from the beta build, which would explain why steam says I got that & the Sequence Break achievements on the 17th of April, 2017.

[@StarfuryLP]

Wow that's interesting, I would think that they would separate the versions but I guess not.

[@leetabois1799]

Thx this helped me get my 1st plat trophy on ps4

[@dimitrijxvski2812]

2:13 i found a easy way to hide from anyone on that train: duck to the platform where the lever is

[@timothyhinton3010]

Tip for The Floor is Lava and a few others, just use the time hat. Its OP as all hell and makes some of the achievements a breeze.

[@theawsomecheese9714]

Yes the mods do help you in certain achievements

[@mugshalthemug6163]

By the way. The achievement Secret intruder can be cheesed from the ice hat. At the long train segment, become the ice structure and watch as you dont get spotted

[@RDHDE]

Holy shit thank you

[@kur0p3ck]

I did the one about passing train rush without dying and without clocks but it still didn't give it to me, must it be your first time?

[@zaxtonhong3958]

5:50 Cough cough ice hat cough cough gives invincibility even after you exit the statue cough cough sit next to the dials and buttons

[@torchfour]

ur forced to wear the parade hat i thought

[@mbrillon765]

@@torchfour Nope

[@soulgamer8774]

3:55 The best place to do this would probably be in the first slide in Subcon.

[@mati-asstorres9692]

5:41 why.. Nah don't worry u get those when you're older...

[@1lipefellipe266]

Thank you:D

[@kipposan11]

when the bird said "what are you ashamed of" i said... uh... thats how i got the why award

[@pascalbcad4211]

You deserve MUCH MORE subs. l&s :)

[@dragonwolf3527]

And then along came the dlcs. All Deathwishstamps was of course the hardest one for me to get

[@daniheart0670]

for the "just.. why?" one, you could of also searched peck on the computer

[@2rad4rio]

You can use the ice cap and the part the birds won't see you (I only know this works at the train part where it's really difficult).

[@2rad4rio]

Maybe not for others, but the part I was talking about was hard for ME

[@kyubeyz_7062]

You've been naughty hat kid.

[@sethzilla4292]

For the secret intruder one, just use ice cap, the birds won’t notice you

[@calldossaguis1559]

05:31 i love this game

[@Zach174.]

I can’t seem to get Sequence Break

[@krittin115]

5:31 You can answer "ass" to DJ Grooves when he asks you which card is he holding in CHAP2ACT3

[@modifire6418]

2:11 you can use the ice hat It worked for me at least

[@PajkaEagle]

I dont how but i came only for the Let there be light achivement.. Idk how did i not got it 😂

[@robo-suport_czrobofactory3116]

oh, i was used from death wishes that slowing down time with time hat doesnt work so i didnt even try it, i completed it thanks to the scooter badge...

[@DoppelgangerMaster12]

I'ma be honest I did the "No time to explain" Achievement without the time hat and I Made it with Literally no time left on the bomb

[@HobbZyV3]

There's a nifty shortcut to skip the train part of the dead bird studio

[@mariofanl1ve]

The current only ultra difficult achievement is the "i refuse to die" achievement. But i think there should be another. Mu first idea would be called "one ultimate punch" beat the game start to finish no damage, though that might be too difficult and/or tedious. So my 2nd idea "one life" would be simply beat the game without dying. Still would be fairly difficult. I doubt they would add one of these though because the game has been out for 5 years.

[@Xuxu14]

You can just be the ice statue with the ice hat while you are passing that part of the studio no one sees you as an ice statue (I have that archivement)

[@sylmaranimates2599]

05:31 us failboat fans know that you can also name your pet's pet OwO

[@nerd_elfilis]

You can type any curse word into the pc or C.A.W. agents to get the Why... Just Why... achievement.

[@kagura_glaze9815]

For some reason i cant get the achievement of collecting all of battel of the birds time pieces even though i have collected all the time pieces in the game

[@yourlocalvirus7371]

for the "why.. just why?" achievement you can also type "Fuck you" i accidently found this out while messing around with my friend

[@lucashernandez-suster8614]

I have the game but how do you get the achievements? I don’t get them and it dousnt say there are any

[@tom_k_cook]

I got the Afraid Of Water achievement on accident, lmao. First try! Woo!

[@2rad4rio]

5:55 That one I was right at the end and I got hit, knocked back, but I landed on the lowest platform in the level and I got the achievement.

[@2rad4rio]

But the thing was I ALMOST got knocked into the crown by the owls, but I luckily landed on a low platform.

[@Melloaf]

Ive been trying to do the community contributor achievement but it wont gimme it for some reason

[@esparrafado443]

for the one punch a need defeat the dj grooves and conductor?

[@lplushie4588]

1:27 I fought the Conductor in C2A5(?) and didn't get it. Is he not a main boss or is it because I used the time stop hat?

[@StarfuryLP]

I have no clue? I would just try to do the Mafia Leader boss first because I know that works. Make sure I have the one hit hero badge on.

[@danycuate7740]

Hello, hey, is it necessary to buy the two DLCs for A Hat In Time platinum?

[@Q_othman]

No it’s not i just got it without the DLCs

[@zaxtonhong3958]

I tried to do the one punch achievement in snatcher, but I didn't get the achievement due to snatcher stealing my hat and therefore my badges (even though I still died in 1 hit.

[@TheEndy]

I did the mission in the snatcher and it counted to me

[@75Damien]

I did it with snatcher fight and it counted for me

[@2111darkboy]

1:55 whats the music ? Someone pls tell me

[@fadedfaron2458]

picture perfect, from a hat in time ost

[@TBSN69]

How do i get 3 badge pins? I bought all the badges and finish the game but still i can only have one badge

[@deathdeal3395]

U gotta buy the badge pin there 2 of them from the merchant

[@alittlenoobp3541]

Which music did you use?

[@steveluvscows2490]

Personally I prefer the air is a reference to Super Smash Bros., more specifically to Brawl, and to Falco's infamous line.

[@adrianna_ladybug]

Hey I have a odd glitch that only lets me equip two badges even though I have both of the badge pins does anyone knows how to fix it

[@bernardob.3067]

same.

[@erossauro2427]

I get the achievement "Why" Sayng "Fuck you" for the bird who asks me the super hero name i choose

[@zanekirby9314]

I just read the false detective Achievements description and at the end, it said: (you suck)! wow

[@zuckerberggaming4966]

f#ck also works for " why "

[@tac0dile183]

For some reason I got the Slide down a long slide acheivment by diving down by accident in Alpine Skyline

[@StarfuryLP]

It could be cause you slid off the map, but if that was the case it doesn't make sense. At least you got it!

[@gharibgamegg6972]

I defeat the final boss in the forest with the one hit

I cant seem to get the badge master

I have 56 time pieces but i dont have achievment "Return home"

I did the one punch with the snatcher and did it. And I didn’t pick the easier choice of boss ;-;

[@75Damien]

Honestly I found snatchers fight very easy so I one punched him

[@SuperMandibleclaw]

I got all time pieces + DLC 56 but no achievement

How do i get more badge pins on xbox?

I cheesed some achievements using mods :^ )

[@cactus_karma8954]

I did it without time stop hat

[@nobenx]

Is it sad that I got the "why" one before knowing it exists (I did not search what he put or something outrageously inappropriate)

[@StarfuryLP]

I did the same thing, the game practically sets you up for it with the question about your most hated body part.

[@crabulonbestgirl9130]

I said peck on the train lol

[@kyubeyz_7062]

4:08 ah 2017

[@razzodazzee]

Eh... Hehe. I cheated in the studio to get the secret intruder achievement. (I used the kirby hat mod for infinite jumps)

[@literallightbulb]

Did they delete the why achievement? If so why?

[@StarfuryLP]

I wouldn't know myself since I don't really keep up with the game anymore, but if they did it was probably because it was interfering with the game rating. Directing players to use language that didn't align with the rating could've caused issues.

[@SeaAnemoneGal96]

4:41 how tho?!! You need to get like how many badge pins!!

[@deathdeal3395]

2 pins the merchant sells them

[@georgie9303]

Can't get the train one, I didn't pick up time bonuses.

[@StarfuryLP]

I'm assuming that you beat the level and it didn't give it to you. I would suggest trying again but every time you fail leave the mission, go back to your ship, and go back in and try again.
