LIMBO — Achievement Walkthrough

Early in the game, there's a tall tree. Climb to the very top using the platforming branches. Easy to miss if you sprint past — drop everything when you see the tree.
When the game begins, the boy can walk in either direction. Default progression is right. Walk LEFT instead for a few screens. Achievement pops on the deliberately-wrong direction.
After the final scene, the credits roll. Don't skip. The achievement pops when credits finish naturally. Brief in LIMBO's case — under 5 minutes.
There's a specific moment where you can sneak BELOW the spider, between its legs. Time your movement during her pause-between-strikes. If she sees you, you die. Practice the timing.
Dark electrical area. Push the metal crate ahead of you so sparks from its dragging illuminate the path. Walking without the crate fails the achievement (and likely the puzzle too). Slow, steady push.
On a conveyor belt or moving platform, jump on a crate and ride it back the way you came. The game has at least one section where this is set up — easiest to spot when you see a crate moving against your travel direction.
Late in LIMBO, the boy reaches a city/factory area. Push every interactive crate you can find. The achievement tracks crate interactions; 5+ counts.
Vertical passage hidden behind a breakable obstacle in mid-game. Look for terrain that seems passable. Pull a specific lever / break a specific crate to reveal the descent. Wiki has the location.
The gravity-warp section (towards the end of LIMBO) lets you walk on walls/ceilings. Navigate upward, breaking gravity orientation as the game allows. Find the top of the vertical corridor.
In the giant spider's lair, there's an interactive object that gets stuck mid-puzzle. The achievement triggers when you force it loose using a heavy object. Pull the rotating wheel until something jams.
In the factory area, a massive cog has a lever next to it. Standard solution: pull lever, climb. Instead, climb manually via wall-jumping and momentum tricks. Achievement on the lever-free top-reach.
## The eggs
10 hidden glowing eggs scattered through LIMBO. Each requires specific exploration off the main path.
## Strategy
- Look up at trees, behind crates, in hidden side paths
- Some require backtracking through puzzles you've already solved
- Wiki has the comprehensive map
Most-missed: the egg in the gravity-warp section's hidden upper corridor.
## The challenge
LIMBO is famous for trial-and-error platforming. Most blind playthroughs die 30-50 times. 5 deaths max requires intimate knowledge.
## Strategy
- Play through once normally to learn every trap
- Replay aiming for sub-5 deaths
- Save your 5 'allowed' deaths for the spider chase + the gravity section finale
Single sitting = no quit-to-menu. The game tracks death count per run.
