Dig Achievement in Dig Dug

    Dig through the entire area on any Round!

  • How to unlock Dig

    You must dig EVERY BIT of dirt on the screen. Your screen should be completely black. This is probably by far the hardest achievement in the game, but its doable. Start in level 1 and kill 2 enemies. DO NOT kill the third enemy or the last one will leave, and you will advance to the next level. Now go back and forth, or up and down, avoiding the last 2 enemies as much as possible until you have no area to clear in the paths you made. Now go back and forth or up and down (depending on how you did it first) to clear the rest of the small debris on the screen… you have 3 lives, stay alive as much as possible and good luck.

    Edit: Supposidly this achievement is glitched for a lot of people, but its not unobtainable... i got a suggestion from someone over at xbox.com on how to help and it seems to be working for most people now...
    if anyones having trouble, just do your normal thing and clear the stage until theres no more dirt... Go around the outside of the screen clockwise, then counterclockwise and get killed in that same level afterwards.

  • I HATE THIS ACHIEVEMENT!
  • Me too. It's the only one I'm missing for this game.
  • yeah, this achievement is so difficult, only one i havent got >:(
  • It's easy to piss you off! I had one part left then died but all you have to do is start on the first stage and go from bottom to top left to right and kill the dragon thingy and a other stupid little thing and when the other 2 get close to you just hit them with 2 or 3 shots and run for your life! its easy to do once you get the hang of it
  • Terrible, I had this DONE and then no joy... Glitched?
  • EDIT: OK got this one, and to get this evil cheevo you must do the following. Once you clear the dirt completely, walk around the outside edge of the playfield first clockwise then counterclockwise. You must then die on that level, by then you are likely down to you last guy anyways... Easiest to do obviously on level 1 and leaving to of the orange enemies, kill the dragon dude.
  • So you have to die to get the achivement? Seems very gliched to me :/
  • This achievement is NOT glitched. You just have to TRAVERSE the entire screen, including areas that seem to be already pre-dug, such as where the monsters start, areas cleared by falling rocks, and the small area to the left/right of where you start. Watch this video as a guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAnloYVlMNg
  • I used the same video from Youtube, after 100s of tries did it on my second go. Thanks
  • ok so i did it but i didn't get it!!!!
  • Yeah, it must be needing to traverse the whole screen and somehow I didn't go somewhere, because I just cleared the entire screen and...nope, didn't get it.
  • fuk this stupi ass ach
  • I remember doing this on PS2 in Namco Museum....It was easier..
  • **** this achievment
  • Don't die once you have dug through everything. You must stay alive until the start of the next level.
  • stupid achievement
  • Annoying, but achievable if you traverse the entire screen.
  • I done this and i didn't get the achievement!!!! Took me about 100 tries so pretty annoyed!!!
  • Ok, worked on the 2nd time
  • RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE
  • Okay, just got it on my fourth try. I can confirm that if you traverse the entire level horizontally and then vertically and finally walk around the edges clockwise and then counter-clockwise, you'll get the achievement. As a side-note: I don't know if it's required or not, but I completed the level and killed myself in the second stage. I hope this helps.
  • Got it! Man, that one was buggin' me. 100%!
  • I had to try it 7 times to get it!!! :-(
  • Finally got it after doing it four times. Tried beating the level like the video showed that didn't work so tried dying on the level and got it. 100% after six years!
  • That's twice i've cleared all the dirt and still no achievement. Seriously, fuck this game
  • Worked for me the first time.
  • This makes me wanna scream... -_-
  • Wow, I'm seeing all of these comments, and thinking to myself, "Well f**k." Probably going to go back for this one soon. I thought about it earlier, and realized the isn't much reason not to have this game completed.
  • Has anybody actually gotten this one!? I need help
  • This achievement took me as long as it did to get the other 11!! FUCK THIS ACHIEVEMENT! here's a link to a strat if you haven't gotten it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZarxOZxTAM
  • in this video, I show you how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnQYswAWPns Dont get streesed, just keep trying!
  • Don't attempt this, it is a glitched unobtainable achievement. You have to mod your profile in order to get it. I did this 2 times and the 1st time i kept playing. The 2nd time I died right after. You have to mod your profile or find a cheat code to get this. Fucking stupid, after 14 years, they STILL haven't fix this. Unbelievable.
