Co-op Achievements Guide

A specialized guide for REANIMAL achievements that require a cooperative partner or specific local play conditions.

Overview

Some achievements in REANIMAL can only be unlocked with a partner (or a second controller). These require precise timing and coordination, often impossible with AI alone.

Note: For "Couch Co-op" achievements, you can use one account (two controllers). For "Online", you need two accounts.

Specific Strategies

The Trust Fall

During the Factory Assembly Line (Chapter 3), there are gaps too wide for a normal jump.

  1. Preparation: Player A stands at the edge and holds Action (Prepare Catch).
  2. Jump: Player B sprints and jumps.
  3. Timing: Player A must press Action exactly when Player B is mid-air to grab them. Holding too early or late fails the catch.

Perfect Synechdoche (Lighthouse)

  1. Positioning: Both players at the wheel.
  2. Voice Sync: Count down "3, 2, 1, Go".
  3. Execution: Hold the crank key. Do not release until the gate fully locks open. If either player stutters or stops, the achievement fails. Reset by letting the gate fall.

Session Troubleshooting

  • Desync: If an achievement doesn't pop for both players, the guest (Client) might have desynced.
  • Fix: Have the Host restart the checklist point.
  • Tracker: Achievements like "High Boosts" track across sessions. You can grind them by reloading a checkpoint.
